All American

Agree with all the reviews, this place is a great little find!  Combo plate is very good.  I always get pulled pork, sausage and brisket.  If there has been any hiccups, one time out of 5 the brisket was overly fatty...  I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because we did come in very close to closing that time and I am from TX so have been lucky to have world class brisket in the past :-)  It definitely won't keep my from coming back!

What a great find just a few minutes from Quartz Mountain Lodge!  Don't get it wrong - this a quick shop.  We ate next to the motor oil and rack of candy bars, but the food was great!  BBQ and burgers were both yummy.  This isn't health cuisine, but its tasty.

Well, my profile says I am from Altus, OK, but that is just where I (have to) live right now.  Altus is a sad state of affairs in almost all ways, with the culinary scene being no exception.  

So All American is my go to place.  We like to joke that there is a list of tolerable restaurants here and it is common to hear, "Is it on the list?"  My list is very, very short since The Pantry closed.  I will go to All American which is in Blair so technically not even in Altus and I will go to Pick Up Taco.  I also like the coffee from Confectionately Yours (plus I like to go there in the afternoon - you can meet a lot of nice people and learn a lot about what is going on in town by having an afternoon coffee here).  But I digress.

As stated, All American is one of just two restaurants in which I will eat in this area.  It is in a gas station and that is part of the charm.  The BBQ is fantastic and the Becky Burger (swiss cheese, mushrooms, jalapenos - oh my!) is a greasy bomb of deliciousness.  The owner is wonderful and incredibly genuine.  He is there every time we go and always wants to make sure our food is good and we are being taken care of.  

The clientele seems to be very local - lots of farmers, oil and construction workers.  Again, part of the charm and the people are friendly and kind.  Two thumbs up for All American!
