Oh, indeed, that would be Bob's BBQ. I used to eat there as a 7th - 8th grade delinquent when we went to visit my brother who was going to skool at ECSU. Had a blast from the past back in April when we went to see my nephew's last home baseball game for ECSU and stopped at Bob's on the way home.

Bob's has opened a branch office at one of the hotels in Norman; I'm not sure which one.

(OKSooner, "Bob's" sounds like the place I recollect...they've got a branch in
Norman now...)

Any BBQ place that has a legitimate "history" page on their Intenet site...
has to be checked out....

"Bob's Barbeque started in 1952 when Bob Leonard purchased Holt's BBQ. The original hickory
pit was an old rig shack of Holt's Drilling Company of Ada, Oklahoma. Inside the restaurant
were six stools and two tables.

The snippet of BBQ history above reminds me of a quip I heard about about finding great BBQ
places: "If the place looks like it's been really cleaned up in the last decade, keep lookin'."
