“It was our first time to go to Brown Bag BBQ today. We tried the Feast for 2. Love the ribs. It was great ✅”

“Food was good, server was great! Although good, the hamburger patty did not appear to be hand patty like menu stated nor did it taste like fresh beef. But again, still edible and if ever in the area again would come back to try other menu options. Love that they offer cauliflower crust and rice”

“It was a great experience yesterday at Above Par. Food was absolutely great! The owner/staff were very accommodating and friendly. Truly above par. ✅ Thank you!”

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Tahlequah. I've never had a bad meal or service. Today, Trinity was our waitress. When we got there, she had a whole baseball team with several adults and children. I was a little worried at first, however, she managed all her tables well, including ours. She was helpful, kind and took care of us while taking care of several others, too. Whatever shes paid, it's not enough! Shes wonderful!”

“A++++++ Been eating with this family’s establishment for 20+ yrs!! They have never ever let me down!! I will drive over a hr one way just to eat here 1x week!! They are definitely the best!! I’ve tried other places over the years and there isn’t anyplace that can compare to El Zarpe!!!”

“It was really good! Service was great as well!”

“Everything is good, but their Gorditas & Street Tacos are amazing 💯🔥”

“Service was really great here! They had plenty of seating options (would have loved sitting at the bar).
The bar staff were incredibly friendly and gave us lots of helpful advice on local spots since we’re from out of town. The margaritas were very nice with a good selection too.
We also tried the wood-fired pizzas. The kitchen was a bit slow, but the pizzas turned out excellent, highly recommend!
A welcoming spot with friendly service and solid food/drinks. We’d definitely return!”

“The food and the service were excellent. Although a little pricey compared to some BBQplaces in Rogers Arkansas. A+ for the motorcycle parking!”

“We had Emily as our waitress and we love her so much! She is so sweet and accommodating. The food was great too.”

“The food was delicious! The bread was toasted just right! Anytime we come to the Cherokee Nation we will definitely stop here. The service was very friendly! Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great Service & Great Food”

“I’m 59, fat (I like to eat)😁 and I had the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten in my life today! Staff were very friendly, busy keeping everything clean. Young lady that took our order recommended a sandwich based on what I told her I liked, and she nailed it! Bread was amazing, meat and everything else in it was perfect. Can’t wait to go back! (Can’t remember the name of the sandwich, but it was the second one listed on the board and it began with a “C”)”

“They rock. Need one in Montana”

“Great quality , best pizza I've had in a long time”

“We finally took the trip from Muskogee to check this place out. The wait staff was fantastic and sweet. JC was our server. Absolute sweetheart! I had the veal Marsala and my wife had the chicken parm. Completely on point all the way around. I normally to wait until I am back home on Long Island had veal prepared that perfectly. The chicken parm was also perfect and the marinara was great. Jewel is a phenomenal chef. The pizzas coming out of the back looked fantastic, so my hats off to that entire kitchen staff. Well done. We’ll be back!”

“Our absolutely favorite place to have our birthday 🥳 parties 🎉 not to mention the best Mexican food in town!”

“Had to make a trip to Tahlequah from Okmulgee. My daughter called ahead and reserved a dozen Chocolate Twists and Cinnamon Rolls. Was good as always. Been a customer since the 1970's.”

“The chicken wrap was next level. We also had the Bang bang shrimp, fried jalapeños with just the right kick, fresh onion straws for crunch, and that bang bang sauce tying it all together. Every bite—sweet, spicy, crunchy perfection. Gone in 5 minutes.”

“Everything about this place is amazing! The service and the food are exceptional”

“Awesome place. Friendly staff. Great live music, games on the patio & shuffleboard”

“Excellent spot for meetings in a chilled relaxed atmosphere.”

“This is a quaint quaint restaurant very friendly service. Unfortunately l, I think the rising costs of supplies has caught up with them a little bit. The servings aren't quite as generous as they used to be.

However, I still recommend Del Rancho for good food at reasonable prices!”

“It's a run down dinner looking Jimmy's Egg. I mean it literally was one until the owner sold and reopened under a new name. Food is just as good, service is good until you can't find your waitress when you actually need something. Sometimes I couldn't find her in the dining area and then I saw her waiting tables on the other side of the room. Like, what?!?! Outside of that, it's a good tasting generic Jimmy's Egg.”

“This place is amazing! The menu is extensive, the food is authentic and delicious!! A place you must stop at, go outside your comfort zone and order something different, you’ll be blown away!”

“Fun fun fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I coordinated a wedding recent with Ryan as the dinner option. The dog father food truck was so easy to book, so easy to communicate with, absolutely delicious and cost effective ! I couldn’t be happier with Ryan and the dog father food truck 10/10 recommend”

“Burgers are better than my homemade...”

“Rafa’s has the best chicken in town. My favorite is the chicken bowl with brown rice and black beans. Great food and great service.”

“Five star food and service! If you like casual, back room style dining, home style space then eating in may be for you. Wonderful people. Two stars for dining room, five stars for friendly and service so average four stars for atmosphere.”

““Loved everything about this place! The food was delicious, the service was quick and friendly, and the margaritas were some of the best I’ve had.””

“I had exceptional service through the drive thru about 10:03 this morning. The young lady was phenomenal in taking my order, professional, kind, when taking my payment and giving me my food! She was sweet, courteous and can I just say professional again!? Who you choose to put at your window - makes or breaks the place and she’s fantastic!”

“I finished the pizza before the cook finished his cigarette after bringing it to me. 10/10”

“Great Customer Service❤️ We Love Rose Rock Coffee, Have been enjoying it every trip to Tahlequah, while visiting family. I Order it for Christmas Gifts, for my Sisters, My Grown Children, and Friends. Red Fern and Chocolate Gravy seem to be Everyone’s Favorites! A Small Business, that I will continue to Support!”

“they always get my order right, plus the food and customer service is excellent! I love coming here 😊”

“Took a detour into Cherokee Nation off of I-44 going from St. Louis metro to New Mexico.

Pizza was stellar, with great sauce and cheese, and thicker crust. I could only eat half of a small.”

“It’s a great place for me to run in real quick and get a couple groceries. I like the quality of their food. Their milk seems to last longer than the offbrand at Walmart so I run in there and they also provide sugar-free ice cream for people that are diabetics.”

“The employees are friendly and happy. I ordered the Western omelette and it was the best omelette I've had in years.”

“Best place to eat!! the skinny guy nice”

“I had an issue today and the manager did a wonderful job of dealing with the issue and helped me feel appreciated! Thank you Miss Manager! Proud of the work you do!”

“Hands down the best pizza we’ve had in a long time! My kids love pizza but they loved simple Simons way more then anywhere else we have here in Tahleqauh! (First time trying it)”

“LOVE ruby’s!! I eat here every time I come to Tahlequah. The best chicken salad sandwich, baked potato soup, brownie, cupcakes EVER! always quick service and very reasonably priced. Always fresh. Can’t say enough good things.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“Went today through the drive thru. Only took about 8 minutes even though the line looked packed. My food was hot and the fries were perfect! I’ll be back to try the new spicy grilled sandwich next time. This location has a playground!”

“Selection is awesome and fast. Fajitas were really good with plenty of fixens. The Street tacos were great, with 2 pork and 2 beef. The house guacamole is amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant especially after a day on the river.”

“I have never been a subway person. I was taking my girlfriend to get a sandwich and the guy behind the counter (Aaron) talked me into getting one for myself. He was funny, respectful, and extremely nice. I let him get creative with my sandwich since I never eat Subway. This sandwich was absolutely delicious. Aaron was an extremely hard worker and took care of us well. I will absolutely be coming back and I know have an order that I will get every time.”

“Surprised dad and mom with a trip to Tahlequah today for fried chicken livers. I called the Chicken Express there before we left, because it's an hour's drive to get there, and they assured me that they had plenty of livers. I made sure they knew we were driving an HOUR to get there, and they said yes, come! So, off we went. Only to find out, after placing our order, that the livers they had on hand were 'bad' and it would be three hours before they had a batch ready. Thankfully, I found Charlie's Chicken online, just down the road, and we had the BEST fried livers around! They will get our business from now on, for sure. Super-friendly staff and hot, fresh food...they saved the day!”

“Excellent service. Waitress Rosie is the best”

“Stopped at the Quah location on our way home to Stilwell. I love Mazzio's salad and their traditional bone in mild buffalo wings. Normally don't even bother with the pizza. However today I grabbed a pepperoni and supreme slice. I have to say it was damn good. It wasn't soaked on sauce and had the right amount of toppings. It was a nice lunch with my oldest daughter. I even told the wait staff how great the food tasted

They use can mushrooms not real. Althought today they didnt taste canned”

“These folks knock it out of the park every time!
I didn't catch his name but the young man whirling the counter Sunday 23 November in the late afternoon was one of the most polite persons I've met lately. He really seemed to love his job and helping folks get a great meal. 100 stars!”

“It was different from most rib cribs that I've been to that it was order from the counter and get your own drinks but it was fine. The food was good like rib crib is. The service was fine for an almost fast food atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.”

“Whoever the older lady is that works there— she is SO nice. She was working between 5pm-6pm on 08/19/25! THE nicest person I’ve ever come in contact with in any type of customer service. We always know her voice when she takes our order and it doesn’t matter what time of day she works, she is ALWAYS so kind and its genuinely appreciated!”

“Wait time at drive through was 20+ minutes. At window asked to verify my order. Told me what was supposed to be in bag. Not what was in the bag. One of the burgers was simply meat, cheese and enough mayonnaise to devil a dozen eggs!

Tried to call them a little after 1 o’clock. Will try again. Very disappointed today”

“Whataburger is my favorite fast food although I would hardly call it fast food they make it fresh and this one did not disappoint. Nice and clean, It was busy but there was plenty of seats available and Ariel took fantastic care of me. Big smile and super helpful. Definitely will stop in here again on my travels. A+”
