I believe the best BBQ in the South is a place called Swadley’s Bar-B-Que in Bethany, Okla. Swadley’s is a mile or two south of Wiley Post (PWA) Airport in Bethany. Wiley Post is 6 nm north of Will Rogers World Airport and offers the best alternative services for GA pilots in the OKC metro. Hey, it’s the home of Garth Brooks. I’ve bumped into him boarding his Citation X at Wiley Post. He was even there when I made my first solo, and signed my solo shirt.
As for Wadley’s, it doesn’t get much better than their ribs and chopped beef sandwiches. Say hi to Melody, who is always there to take care of us regulars with a pretty smile.
