Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Quick service, friendly staff and great food! Maybe a little improvement could be done: real silverware please. It’s all meat based (most of it) and eating and cutting with plastic forks and knifes is a real challenge. Hope they will take this not-a-complain in consideration."
"Such a fun find in UWS! Food is good and they have live music on Monday nights. And good wine/beer options. Service is also great!"
"I cannot avoid starting by the end: the banana pudding is a winner! Fresh ingredients, scrumptious texture, flavors that meld into a perfect dessert. The sandwiches and burgers are excellent, and the array of sauces, lovely. We tried the chicken bbq and leg of lamb sandwiches, satisfying and well made. Will be back!"
"We were surprised to see Oklahoma Style BBQ here in the Upper West Side. It was our first time trying Oklahoma Style BBQ so ordered from here a couple of times! First thing first, Their Oklahoma BBQ Pork Ribs with a side of mac and cheese and cornbread. The ribs were tasty! We loved the dry rub and the meat come off the bone easily, super tender and flavorful. As for the BBQ sauce, it was a lot tangier for sure! But overall worth it! The Tulsa BBQ Pulled Pork was also delicious! It was served on a brioche roll with pickled red onions, coleslaw & BBQ sauce. It was a flavorful sandwich and they gave a wonderful amount of meat. We also ordered their Oklahoma Hot Links Sandwich. Now this one was served on a Hawaiian sweet roll, smoked, hot n' spicy beef sausage with melted sharp cheddar cheese, chicharrones, baby arugula, and chipotle sweet pepper mayo. The cheese in this sandwich just melts so beautifully with the combination of the heat from the beef sausage is perfection. Very hot and spicy, worth the mouth burn. Not to make this review too long, but the crabcake sandwich was also good, a little small - more of a light snack but good! Lastly, their Homemade Crème Brûlée is well made! great when you are craving a decent price Crème Brûlée. Overall, will come back again and again!"
"As a person from Tulsa, I’m always skeptical of anyone who says their Oklahoma BBQ is delicious. So, we had to try this place. I have to say - it met the expectations. Sweet BBQ was yummy on the Tulsa pulled pork sandwich. We also had the Gouda Mac & Cheese, cornbread and stuffing. I highly recommend all of them. The sweet tea was more like an Arnold Palmer, so if you don’t like a lemon flavor, don’t get it. Finally, we had the pineapple upside down cake. The restaurant is covered with mostly Tulsa-themed posters & celebrities. We’ll definitely be back."
"Nice addition to the neighborhood with this Oklahoma BBQ spot. Nice chumy decor. Friendly staff. Had the beef brisket Platter that comes with 2 sides. I chose red Oklahoma chili - that's beanless beef chili - and gouda Mac n cheese. The brisket is smoked for 14 hours and was tender and flavorful. I didn't need the 3 BBQ sauces, but they were good too!"
"if you are looking for the best BBQ, look no further than the Upper West Side. From ribs to brisket to BBQ chicken, every meal we have had at Au Jus is so good"
"I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and the quality of their barbecue is always the best. I love steak sandwiches and pork chops. They are so good! You can taste the quality of the meat is very good. The service staff is also very warm, every time to feel very cordial! It is highly recommended!!!!"
