Restaurants in Tahlequah

“Dayten was our waiter and he was exceptional. It was a prime time visit, he was swamped, and we had a special food request. He made certain it was met, drinks always refilled, offers for to-go drinks etc. He was beginning to end awesome. He was friendly to all tables around us, not just ours. He conversed with us like we were his only guests even though he was pressed for time. Before leaving we let the manager Jennifer know that he did a fantastic job. She too worked to make sure everyone was taken care of and our substitution on the meal was accurate. Good job Chili's in Tahlequah.”

“A great gentleman and cook whom treats his customers to an authentic gyro experience! Ive eaten gyros and shawarmas all over the world and these are among the vests! Great food people and prices. My new favorite quick meal in Tahlequah.”

“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”

“Amazing kind of good!! Brisket sandwich was on point. Slaw they make there, fresh cut fries and fried okra. Holy cow!! Staff is very friendly...Our kind of people. This place is an old school BBQ joint where they get it right. Above Par is our BBQ go too bar none.”

“Best BBQ in town. My wife and I shared a plate. It was almost more than we could eat. The ribs were super tender and tasted great. I ordered a side of onion rings and they brought a huge plate full. Most places onion rings are coated in breading so thick you can hardly taste the onions, but these had a thin coat which tasted excellent. We will definitely be back.”

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

“This Place is Wholesome and Delicious! I also like the people that work there. They are all very nice.”

“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!!!”

“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”)”

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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

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

“I am from OKC, not only did I work at Del Rancho in hs, but my sis in law has managed a Del Rancho for 25 years, even all my nieces work or worked there. So, I for sure haa high expectations, we traveled through and stopped, #1 the menu is better than any other Del rancho, fry bread, catfish baskets, tahlequah taco, the breakfast menu, even desserts! #2 the prices are way better than what we are used to. #3 It was all fresh and delicious, the fry bread on the Indian taco was fresh and thick, it was huge! The onion rings hand breaded, and the steak sandwhich hot and fresh! We just got a weekend home near by, this will be our new go to for sure! 10/10”

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

“Great place to eat! The inside is a party and a half and very loud, and there is ample seating outside so you can have conversations with your companions. The service was amazing. And the food! I am hoping they bring the potato kegs back. It was the best appetizer I have ever eaten. I will definitely be back!”

“They rock. Need one in Montana”

“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.”

“Best Italian I have had in years. Blows away most if not all that I have had in recent years. Very very good stuff. definitely recommend if you have not tried them.”

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

“One of the better Original Eggs I have been to. Quick service. Food was good. Only knock was the place needed a good cleaning when I stopped in. Only real issue is that it's hard to get in and out of. Not their issue, more the design of where it's at and the traffic.”

“My frito chili pie. It's so big, I eat it for lunch and dinner. Made how their supposed to be.”

“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!”

“Presley's burgers are the best in the country! I love a good burger & I travel a lot so I'm always on the lookout for a good burger. Nothing comes anywhere close to their bacon cheeseburger burgers! I'm living in a big city in NE Indiana & have been searching for a comparable burger for 2 years now & haven't found one yet. Sigh... But I'm visiting Talequah next week & bringing my boyfriend so he can see what I've been bragging about! Oh, & their onion straws are great!”

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

“fresh food, the burritos are amazing”

“We celebrated our son’s White Coat Ceremony here. The staff, service and shop were all excellent. Thank you for helping make our event perfect!!”

“The food here was of great quality. I enjoyed my sweet & sour combination, the pork fried rice, and spring rolls. The egg roll was well made but not my favorite. The service was very good as well.”

“The food was really good and I don’t eat food like this”

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

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

“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)”

“I had the Popper and I am hooked!”

“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!”

“Fun fun fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I love their breakfast biscuits. Their sausage is my favorite in Tahlequah and their eggs don't taste like powdered or remixed, boxed eggs like other fast food places. They made a mistake with one of my orders and left the egg and cheese off of two biscuit and after we contacted them, they replaced the order without any issues whatsoever.”

“Boba was aight but the strawberry shortcake ice cream was amazing definitely going back for that?‼️ the RB float could have had a lil more ice cream but was pretty good overall ?”

“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.”

“Love there margaritas and there food is is amazing ❤️”

“Excellent service. Waitress Rosie is the best”

“Just had the most heavenly Shrimp Fajita, great service. Thank You !!!! Definitely a fan....”

“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!”

“I had a large order for my son's birthday. The food was good. My husband didn't get cilantro on his tacos but he said they were still good. I wish the large guacamole and the 13 tacos and 3 dinners would have come with 2 bags of chips because we obviously ran out. We will 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!”

“The staff were very nice. They have a humongous menu, and I don’t necessarily think that those are always indicative of quality.

That being said, the food was pretty good. It’s very different than the Mexican restaurants in Texas where I’m from, but it’s probably pretty popular in Tahlequah.”

“Super great food and amazing service. All the staff are super friendly and welcoming. The cookies, sandwich and sweet tea are absolutely perfect and fantastic!
The Spicy Itallian is my absolute favorite!
this is the only location in Oklahoma that I eat at, the manager here is amazing and always ensures a clean atmosphere and clean and friendly staff.”

“We actually celebrated my birthday here and yes, everybody was very positive and helpful. The only problem my hand I still put five stars because the food was good was they didn’t have enough pizzas out on the buffet they had but the salad and atmosphere was great.”

“We were @ our Nationals in Talaquah Oklahoma and stopped a few times @ this Burger King 👑. Service was great. The employees even came outside and talked to us about our bikes, and the conversation was all over the place. It was excellent 👌🏽👍🏽. Food was hot readily made, ice cream and Hershey pies wonderful place. We spend time there that week about 3 times.”

“Was working out of town and was told to eat here and WOW! Their pizza is absolutely delicious and I tried their special “cheese bread with artichoke sauce.. Stunner and well worth it! Can’t wait to go back!!”

“This crib is not a traditional rib crib restaurant. I like to sit down and order. The Chicken sandwich was good but they only
Give half of the sandwich for the lunch special, two bites for the big people. My order came with three buffalo wings and a house potato chips. The meat of the wings is so dry and the potato chips have no taste and are not crunchy. We also ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the meat was also dry even though it already had sauce, the bun was too small with too much meat. The server was nice. She walks around and checks on every table.”

“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!”
