May. The. Good. Lord. Hath. Mercy. I have attended two immaculate universities. As a Harvard educated Afro-American in possession of a doctorate degree from the prestigious University of Yale in the field of Bio-Chemical Engineering as well as Political Science, I am the most qualified individual to inform you, the public citizenry of the United States of America, that the food dispensing establishment "Mr. Sprigg's Real Pit Bar-B-Q" is exquisite in its execution of the food stuffs the establishment prepares. On a brief hiatus from my review; my fellow "Niggas" in the previous review of this lovely establishment, to you, I ask this. On behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, I must ask you to refrain from further belittling our race by calling yourself, and other Afro-Americans "Niggas". In continuation of my review; as I was one day passing through Oklahoma City on my way back from a rather risque topless bar with a various assortment of my Yale comrades in my General Motors manufactured limousine, I spied this seemingly vicariously polished establishment from the asphalt road upon which we were traveling. Methinks it was mere chance that my esteemed colleague was in need of the ingestion of a food substance rich in nutrients, yet with a flavor and spice akin to pork products which reminded him of his family's roots in the Slave Trade of the Great American South. As we placed our many orders with the vivacious cashier (who's delicate curvature fondly reminded us of the topless bar employees) I soon found myself smelling the aromatic, far-away spices of exotic lands. As my senses began to tingle with excitement, I was immediately reminded of my ancestors. My senses awry with genetically enhanced memories of my brethren previous, I could see my kin folk on the Alabama plantation cooking Chitterlings for their starved sons and daughters, yet made strong by the endlass days of picking cotton, plowing fields, and engaging in intercourse with the daughters of their Master, who wanted to be ravaged by the animal-like behavior of my ancestors. I soon awoke to the cashier shouting into the microphone on the counter, "Hey, y'all git ova' here an' pick up yo' sheeit!". As I opened the delicate package packaging and I sunk my teeth, yellowed by the stains of alcohol in my youth, into the ribs smothered in the down home style Bar-B-Q sauce, I felt like my great-great-great grandfather born reborn anew by the taste of pig meat upon my large African orifice. I felt as if I should start licking my plate as if I were one of my ancestors eating off of a hardened pig hide, starved by the Slave Master, needing the ingest the remaining nutrient supplement on the makeshift platter before the rats in the barn stole what was left of the food on the deceased pig's tanned hide. Oh, shall I compare thee to a summer's day, picking resources from plants in the hot some amongst my kin folk. I will always remember my experience at "Mr. Sprigg's Real Pit Bar-B-Q", and I know you will as well.
Your sincere regards,

I really wanted to love this BBQ. With the exception of the baked beans, which are excellent, the remaining offerings are just okay. Salt should be used as a seasoning, not a preservative. The meats are dehydrated from the sodium content and require reconstituting in sauce, which is good, but a condiment it should remain. A good local eatery but not worth an out of the way journey. Love the commercial!

Every time I see the ad for the place or see this place I am confused. Should I eat the ribs or make sweet love to them while listening to the Mr Spriggs song?

I love the sauce! I drove from Illinois to Oklahoma for a family trip, but really made one of my top priorities going to Mr. Spriggs. Foolishly, I only bought one bottle of sauce home with me. I found this page while looking for a way to order more of the awesome sauce.

Mr. Spriggs has the best barbecue. The sauce is fantastic. Not only is the barbecue good, but the baked beans are almost like my moma used to make. The Italian creme cake is good also. Best barbecue in the city. None better.

As a child (and family member) I've eaten "Spriggs" Bar-b-q since the 50's also. I live in California, but when I visit Oklahoma City, I always visit the restaurant a couple of times. When I return home, I fill my carry-on luggage with frozen slabs of ribs so I know I'll have a supply for a while. Some relatives have even had some shipped on dry ice. We've found some ok to good bar-b-q, but haven't found any here as good as Spriggs.

Now I go back to the 1950's with this family when my dad would buy ribs from the back of Mr. Spriggs pick up as we returned to Payson from OKC. I was so glad to find them again. Just as great as ever. M. Dorn

You really get a taste for true barbeque when you come here. If you drive around back you can see their stash of the wood they use for their stoves! Its all homemade with the family recipe. My personal favorite is the chopped beef sandwich basket. But I have had the ribs and they are out of this world too. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone!
