RestaurantBarbecue Restaurant
The roots of this venerable establishment were originally planted by Tennessee native Leroy “Van” Vandegrift, who moved with family to Oklahoma City, where he graduated from Central High. He served in the Army before working as a tool dresser in the oil fields of North Texas and began cooking for fellow roughnecks on rig sites. Around 1928, Van opened his first Pig Stand in a hotel in Wewoka, Oklahoma. It was a small little store serving barbecue such as the Pig Sandwich® and Ribs. The menu also included other types of sandwiches such as Liverwurst, Pimento, Chicken Salad, and Cream Cheese. In 1929 a second Pig Stand opened in Seminole and was then sold in 1935. Pig Stands were later opened in Wichita Falls, Texas and Wichita, Kansas.
On June 5, 1930, Van opened his third Pig Stand Location at 714 Highland in Shawnee. In the same year, Van married Thelma Maree Glenn. In 1935 the Shawnee store moved across the street to its present location.

- DJDon L. Hawley Jr.2 days ago4.0The BBQ was okay
- DHDustin Hall2 days ago1.0No bbq sauce with the pulled sandwich, gave us no napkins, no bbq sauce at all bbq joint, the guy specified sweet tea and I confirmed and still got unsweetened. And these fries were fried in water. Limp noodles
- SSSteve SmithApr 19, 20262.0He was highly disappointed this afternoon the barbecue beans was just pork and beans. Like they just opened a can and served it right of the can. my brisket was cold. Like it's been sitting out. The food tasted like the staff didn't care if the food was right.
- RCRandy CwanekApr 9, 20265.0Comfortable casual diner. Ate in and service was excellent. Food was outstanding, we had sausage, pulled pork, ribs, with mac n cheese, beans, green beans, and okra. Everything was hot and delicious. 1st, time there, and won't be the last. Better than Dickies in our opinion.
- MMMApr 6, 20263.0The reason i have always come back is because of your portion sizes. I am disapointed that there have been recent changes. I understand the price increases, but i don't expect to get less food, too.
