The Tulane Green Wave travel to Tulsa to take on the Golden Hurricane, and kickoff is set for Saturday, September 27, 2025, at Skelly Field at H. A. Chapman Stadium. Before the action on the field, fans will want to fuel up with something hearty, smoky, and unforgettable. In Tulsa, that place is Burn Co. Barbecue.
Game Day Must
Burn Co. isn’t your run-of-the-mill barbecue joint—it’s a fan-favorite spot where everything is cooked over live charcoal, giving the food a distinct, smoky flavor that sets it apart. With its casual atmosphere and plates piled high, it’s the perfect stop for Tulane fans looking to eat big before cheering loud.
A Local Favorite in Tulsa
Burn Co. has become a staple in Tulsa’s food scene thanks to its dedication to slow-smoked meats and a menu that blends traditional barbecue with creative flair. Locals line up early, especially on weekends, and it’s no surprise, once the food sells out, that’s it for the day. If you’re in town for the game, this is a can’t-miss stop.
What Sets Them Apart
The magic is in the method. Burn Co. uses Hasty-Bake charcoal grills, which allow for consistent smoke and heat while locking in juicy flavor. That attention to detail means every brisket, rib, and sausage link comes out with perfect balance, tender, smoky, and packed with flavor.
Fan-Favorite Menu Items
Smoked Sausage Cheeseburger – A house specialty and a true fan favorite.
Baby Back Ribs – Slow-cooked, tender, and fall-off-the-bone good.
Brisket Sandwich – Thick slices of smoked brisket on soft bread.
Pulled Pork – Juicy, smoky, and perfect with their signature sauce.
Burn Co. Frito Pie – A local twist on a game-day classic.
Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad – Essential barbecue sides to round out the plate.
