The Blackwater Grill inside Bricktown is the only restaurant in the tri-states grilling over 100% hickory wood. Our open flame grilling system allows us to cook your food fast and injects our meats with that natural Smokey goodness. You have not had a steak until you have had one grilled over hickory wood.

At the Blackwater Grill, our steaks are aged for a mininum of 28 days and most are aged much longer. This allows the meat to self-tenderize giving our steaks a very delicious texture and taste. Our steaks are hand cut fresh daily. You won’t find a better steak for the value anywhere!

At Blackwater Grill, if we do one thing even better than our steaks and burgers it’s our ribs!! Braised for countless hours in a bath of our fresh brewed beer, cola, secret spices then finished on our hickory wood fired grill for a truly unique flavor.
Then we take the rib and hand rub dry spices and grill it to perfection. Add in your choice of a number for different BBQ flavors or styles and you got the best ribs in the tri-steaks.
