Our waitress did a really good job. The food was pretty lacking. The sausage was lukewarm, and the brisket was dry and on the tough side and withoit much flavor. There aren't many BBQ options in Bville, so it allows them to continue in business without much improvement.

Some good BBQ for sure. Super cool spot. The help was very nice also. We will be back for sure. Thanks for lunch!

The onion strings were perfect like the oil in the fryer had just been changed!! I ordered a burnt end sandwich and it was overcooked ( mushy) We cook at home a lot and it's hard for me to find the perfect meal at restaurants

We live in OKC metro but we go to Bartlesville often to visit with in-laws. Whenever they ask where I want to eat, I am always wanting Dinks. I love their shoe string onions, and the BBQ has never ever disappointed me. You just can't go wrong visiting Dinks.

I'm confused, as usual, as to how places like this have any rating above 1-star.The food is absolute garbage. It's weird that they have an area labeled "the pit" seeing as how very few items on the menu are 'fresh.' especially the sliced turkey and chicken--these are essentially Walmart sliced turkey from the deli, slightly heated with flavorless ketchup haphazardly thrown across it.Sausage is like meat paste pretending to be a higher social class than it is.'Baked Potatoes' are undercooked. They don't have real butter, because why put forth any effort whatsoever?A serving of sliced brisket is exactly 2 slices. That's alright though, because it's only a paltry $4/sliver--which is only slightly less than I pay for gold.I'm not sure what the qualifications are to be selected as wait staff at this location, but I'd bet my last dollar that there isn't a drug test involved.The bright side is that the place has been around since 1982. How? Because it's Bartlesville. It's not like there's a thriving free market here.Yes, the yokals will flock to defend their favorite 'eatery.' But it's kind of like that uncle you have who's addicted to Percocet and has been in and out of prison your whole life--but your grandmother still swears he's misunderstood.$60 for 2 adults and a child is still a cheap way to teach my son to lower his expectations.Thanks for the memories, Dink's!

Dink's is absolutely delicious and a Bartlesville institution. Every time I'm in town, I have to visit (and bring home bottles of their sauce). Couldn't recommend more!
Everyone raves about this local BBQ spot so we decided to give it a try. We're not huge fans of BBQ, but we don't hate it. There's plenty of parking and the restaurant is very clean and decorated with the whole small town BBQ theme. Our waitress was very kind and helpful, she offered to help us with the menu since it was our first visit. I ordered the short ribs with green beans and corn on the cob, it comes with a piece of bread and a pickle. The ribs had a wonderful smoky flavor and were tender. I used the house sauce on them, it has a really nice flavor- not heavy with a hint of vinegar (that's what I tasted). My husband had the smoked sausage with a loaded baked potato with coleslaw, it also comes with a piece of bread and a pickle. He enjoyed the entire thing! He said the sausage had a great smoky flavor and was impressed with the baked potato. Most side potatoes are small but this one was a good size and cooked all the way through. The coleslaw isn't a cream based sauce, it was very light and had red and green bell peppers. I found it refreshing. We also order an appetizer, the onion strings, they were crunchy little bits of batter onion. It is a large portion, we barely made a dent in ours so it would be great for a group app. All in all I enjoyed my meal, I could see myself going back to try the burger or perhaps the chicken. I can see why the locals suggest this place.

I strongly recommend you to try the authentic Barbecue Chicken, 2 & e meats, beef, curly fries, excellent sides and sauces.
