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.

    I the this place, Gods presence is definitely here. Food and customer service is off the charts great. If in Purcell or not if you love good barbecue and a friendly staff that serves, this where you need to eat. Worth every dollar every time.

    The BBQ was nothing to write home about but was okay. Would eat again if in the area but would not drive out of my way for it

    We pulled up to the restaurant and thought it was closed because there was not one car there. That should have been my first sign. We were the only table there and it took forever to get our food and when we did recieve it, it was only half of our food. Got the meat and the sides when we were half way finished with our meat. The brisket and ribs were extremely dry. One of us got a baked potato and I'm almost certain the butter had gone bad. Adding a picture. Luckily my daughter could tell it was bad and didn't put it on her potato. My husband was up vomiting all night. He said his brisket was just not right and sure enough it made him sick. Mind you, the food here is not cheap. Just disappointing to spend $80 for four people and it be this bad. The only reason I'm giving this two stars is because the staff was kind and very apologetic about our food taking so long.
