About

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.

    Ordered 3 family meals to pick up at 5:30. Arrived at 5:30 and it was ready shortly after. The service was great! Everyone was helpful and friendly! The barbecue was delicious! Give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

    Food was pretty good but the atmosphere of the place is rather nauseating, the utensils look barely cleaned and there was sauce and liquid on the seats and table where my family and I sat. If you’re not a very picky person about cleanliness then I would recommend since the food is pretty good, the psychology of the lack of cleanliness in the building caused me to vomit up my food for 3 hours afterward though. Overall pretty decent
