About Us
Swadley’s BBQ has grown from one small restaurant to eight family-owned and operated locations across Oklahoma. Each of our restaurants is built as an extension of our homes, and we firmly believe we are not in the food service business, but the people business. From our beloved employees to our wonderful guests, we are grateful to each person who chooses to work with us or share a meal in our restaurants.
We proudly support and invest in our communities. At Swadley’s, our BOH staff work in a variety of kitchen roles—ranging from our Cutting-Board to our Smoker and beyond—creating an excellent opportunity for anyone passionate about cooking at Oklahoma’s Best BBQ Restaurant.
