“Hands down best filet cut I’ve ever had in my entire life. When you’re in San Diego you eat fish, when you’re in Oklahoma you eat steak, and there’s no better place to get steak than firebirds! Brenda was incredibly nice and exceptionally helpful when I called ahead of time. I can’t say enough good things about the meat here. It’s worth the drive, trust me.”
“Had to stop by and try their chopped brisket THURSDAY ONLY special!
Bill Kamp's meat market has only been around a short time -- since 1910 -- so they know a thing or two about meat. If fresh cut meat of just about any type is called for in your menu, they have it. The store itself is a throwback to butcher shops of bygone days, with various meats, seasonings, cheeses, side dishes, and related items -- everything you'd need for a great cook out, dinner, or feast.
But I digress...y'all are here about the sandwich.
Listen, this thing started out impressive and only got better. When the butcher pulled the slab of brisket out and dropped it on the counter and the walls shook, I knew this was some SERIOUS brisket. He proceeded to hack off a chunk of the slab, grab a knife and start chopping. As he did so, I thought "oh, he must be preparing some for other sandwiches, too.
Nope. Just mine.
My thought as he began piling the chopped brisket was "that's got to be a pound of brisket there". This was confirmed when the six inch high sandwich was placed on the scale for me to take it from, and it showed 1.02 pounds.
Ever get pre-meat sweats from a sandwich? Because I did.
This is a to go counter, and I knew there was no way this sandwich would make it home, nor would I with that smell in the car. Thankfully, there were a couple of tables outside that I commandeered. If you lack willpower, have a seat and enjoy!
The meat was moist and tender, flavorful, and excessive. Like this is two meals worth, folks. But it's so good, it won't last that long. The sandwich itself was nothing fancy, or showy-- just classic and delicious. A buttered and lightly toasted bun attempted to contain the brisket, and the sauce? Straight up Head Country. No special, crazy, secret sauce--just an Oklahoma tradition. (Granted, the brisket didn't need it, and can be ordered without it).
So, if you're in the north OKC area on a Thursday, head over to 7310 N. Western and stop in Bill Kamp's for their amazing chopped brisket sandwich.
And while you're there, pick up some chorizo... :)
NOTE : The first photo is my actual sandwich--not some made for a photoshoot prop. This is the size sandwich you get. You have been warned.”
“I've been going to Wheelers for years. Prices have always been fair with quality meat and super friendly staff. Now the meat is 3-4$ more per pound.(side note, your buying at least 1-2lbs of fat) which wasn't a big issue bc I cooked and fed fat to animals. Now with the prices I can't even afford their steak much less all the fat. When you ask the lady behind the counter if there's a particular reason for the price hike, she gets an attitude and says "I just work here" and then proceeds to kinda slide your order across the counter at you and turn away with an attitude. That's never happened before with ANYONE. It's a fair question. I loved this place for a very long time and spent good money. Now, it's back Walmart.:(
**Edited***
As the received response from Wheelers is truly appreciated with an honest response, I will raise my review and rating. I shop here for the quality of the meat overall. Thank you.”
“Consistent and distinct, Schwab Meats made in Oklahoma (MIO) meats have starred in Coit's and Love's menus and so many other restaurants and convenience stores or venues like church or sports fundraisers for years. This is a taste locals crave. Linked to professional and college sports venues. Items are available in local grocers, but are also available at the point of manufacture on Linwood just West of downtown OKC. You can now order online too, and can ship these hickory smoked favorites across the country. This makes great corporate gifts, representing good will, or just a taste of the Southwest. Schwab offers everyday faves like hot dogs and the classic brick chili. But they also offer specialty meats, like holiday ham, turkey or beef. I personally am hoping for T-Shirts. :) Thanks y'all.”
“Good looking meat, really good prices, friendly staff. The meat was as good as it looked, it was better even. Definitely coming back, and I plan on making a habit of it.”

In short, this grocery store offers an exceptional shopping experience. With fantastic service, a welcoming environment, and an unbeatable selection, it's no wonder it's a favorite in the community.”

“I do not even like steak. Any steak I have ever had was tough or over cooked. Restaurants steak is all I have to go off of but my wife got some steak from here and omg it was soooooo juicy, tender and had such an amazing taste!!!! When you stop in you should get some of the mashed potatoes too! ❤️”
“We bought a huge marinated pork burrito. It had spanish rice, refried beans, cilantro and onions on it. It was delicious and very filling. We also bought some marinated riblets from the fresh meat market. We grilled them and they were also delicious! We like this store. Its has alot of selection and great prices.”
“I went down to their store to use a gift card I had. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. One of the owners helped me with picking out meats. He helped me make the best choices for what I wanted. Each box comes with cooking instructions too. The ribs and fillets have such a flavorful taste. The best I have ever had. I will definitely be going back”
