The Branch

Excellent food and friendly staff - great drink specials too. Definitely a go to spot in downtown Talequah!

Great service, lovely atmosphere inside and out, very friendly servers! We were there for happy hour, and the well drinks were great. During happy hour, they have a $6 burger, which was big and delicious. We also had fried portobello mushrooms, a charcuterie board with the best strawberries I've ever tasted, and a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious! We don't live in Tahlequah, but we'll be back just to eat here!

The food was good, the bar room overlooking the creek was nice, the Newsmax on the tv directly over my table, that i had to ask the server, then the bartender, had to take over the changing of the tv to a country music song was plenty to tell me i was in the wrong place.

Food was so bad I couldn't even take another bite. Meat tasted like something that had been in an icebox for a few days and then heated up. Atmosphere was young college students busy having a social life and not doing their jobs. Beer was not cold. The entire place needs to be tore down and be replaced.

Very poor service, when asking questions about the menu waitress was not very informative. Got the chicken Caesar salad and I literally was only able to eat a couple bites from it, I asked the waitress to take my plate, I couldn't even eat it, it was not good at all there was no offer for replacement or ANYTHING the croutons tasted so old and gross! I was over charged for something I never even mentioned of ordering! First time here and most likely will not be returning.

I’ve been here twice, and I’ve had terrible service both times. I don’t plan on trying it again, which is disappointing, because we like the general ambiance of the place. I went tonight with my wife and my two kids, who are under 10. After we arrived, it took about 5-10 minutes for anybody to acknowledge us. We were seated at the upstairs patio at our request. There were only about 3 tables being served, including ours, with 1 waitress serving all three. She walked by us about 10 times, and never bothered to take our drink order within about a 20-25 minute time frame. The waitress wouldn’t make eye contact with my wife when she tried to get her attention. Never even talked to us. Terrible service. It wasn’t that busy. It’s a Saturday night, but the restaurant was less than half full. We got up and left after about 25 minutes of waiting. Tried to talk to manager, but manager was too busy, apparently.

Visited for lunch. Service was fantastic from when we walked in until we left. Our waitress Savannah was very courteous and helpful even though she had to run back and forth up a flight of stairs to serve us and others. We also highly appreciate them for allowing us to bring our 2 dachshunds onto the outdoor patio.

Food was fabulous kudos to the cooks. Here I expected a chicken sandwich that would be a little bit better than the typical sandwich. But no, the Branch Bird was over and beyond just a chicken sandwich. The bun was light and did not take away from the combination of flavors and the bacon was definitely high quality tasty bacon.

Then the Tahl'y Toaster was so freaking great! I don't think anyone will believe how great this sandwich is until they sink their own teeth into this smokey meatnormous burger that is big enough for two.

Loved the view and atmosphere as well. What a fabulous experience.

Beautiful place. Delicious food. The service, including the bar tender, was pretty slow. He actually set the bottles of beer from our order up on the bar while he was mixing two cocktails. Obviously the bottles were not ideal temperature when they finally made it to our table. We'll go back, and hopefully we will see some improvement.

My husband and I went with another couple to The Branch for the first time on Friday night 5/21 at around 6 p.m. We were greeted at a near empty restaurant by asking if we had reservations which we did not. Then a server came up whispering to the hostess and she then asked if we would mind sitting upstairs and we said okay. We then went upstairs and were seated at a table near the outside wall. The seat cushions were wet and very dirty. The waitress took our order for drinks and an appetizer. The appetizer arrived and she set it down and left and we had no napkins, silverware or appetizer plates. We had horrible service and the waitress once even complained about having to run up and down the steps. It started to rain and became windy. The waitress said we could move to another table and we did but then later came up to us and and said there was another group coming in shortly for the table. This was the worst service I have ever experienced!

Very nice dinner. I had the Vagas salad, my friend got the smoked prime rib special. My steak was perfect, her prime rib was a bit overcooked. Also a bit pricey. Atmosphere lovely.
