Big Red Restaurant: An Area Tradition Since Way Back
For over 50 years, Big Red Restaurant has been a cornerstone of comfort food in Tahlequah and the Lake Tenkiller area. Under the same family ownership for more than 40 years, we’ve perfected the art of hearty, homemade meals that bring folks back time and again. Our scratch-made biscuits and gravy, served fresh daily, are a breakfast favorite locals swear by—pair them with classics like chicken fried steak or a stack of pancakes for a true taste of Oklahoma mornings. From BBQ dinners to burgers, we’ve got the comfort food you crave, all dished up in a laid-back, walk-in-and-seat-yourself setting. Whether you’re in Tahlequah, near Lake Tenkiller, or just passing through, stop by or call (918) 456-0411 for a meal that’s been satisfying appetites for decades.
