Big Red Restaurant wasn't today's destination. It is on my list to try; today it became plan "B." Our destination, a restaurant further down the road, located in the middle of the construction zone, was closed. Looks permanently closed. A double back to Big Red was an excellent play. Catfish was the special today. I'll take that. A burger and tots for my wife. The waitress, Lisa, took care of us. She is a lively friendly outgoing young lady. A real "corker!" Excellent service. Great Burger, the catfish was amazing. Check the pictures. I liked the slaw. Comfortable seating. Rustic wood everywhere. Football is the theme. Next time you are in there, ask Lisa if she still likes Coleslaw. read more

In Oklahoma for the weekend so we stopped into Big Red for lunch. We were told we could sit anywhere, shortly after our waitress showed up to greet us and take our drink order. The ambiance was very family friendly. I liked the whole sports theme, and all the different football helmets on the tables that hold the condiments. The food was pretty good too! I had the Linebacker for my meal and it was pretty tasty. My husband had the BBQ dinner which was pretty good too. The kids had a variation of chicken tenders and corn dogs and they were pleased. Overall good food and for a good price. I will definitely be back when I come back to town. read more

Such a terrible experience. Food was horrible, we did not eat it. Ordered bbq sandwich it was way too saucy and tasted like it was old/prepackaged and reheated. Also got the bbq meat plate and the meat was grey (old) and beans were bad. Only ate one bite of each plate. Salad was ok and chili cheese fries were ok. Ranch was good. Waitress never asked why we didn't eat our meal. Gnats were also an issue they surrounded our food the entire time it was on our table. read more

Meh, coleslaw was unseasoned, ordered the open face roast beef, gravy was tasteless had three extremely thin slices of beef, mashed potatoes were the best of the meal. Wife ordered the chef salad, it was ok, the one setback was the boiled eggs were overcooked and green. read more

We had breakfast there this morning and it was great. Absolutely loved the sausage, the biscuits and gravy are homemade. Very large servings you will not leave hungry. The wait staff was very attentive and nice. Definitely will be returning. read more

My parents recently moved to the area and we decided to go to Friday night dinner. I read the reviews about how Big Red had a good breakfast, so we thought Friday fish fry would be fun. I was wrong. All of our drinks had a very strong well water taste to them, including soft drinks. The food was very heavy and greasy. The corn meal was so thick on one of the catfish pieces that I couldn't eat it. The sides were nice and that's what my daughter and I wound up eating. We met a Phoenician transplant who worked there so it was nice to see Oklahoma bringing in some new blood. I did not try them for breakfast but, when we visit again, we may give them another chance. But dinner is definitely out. read more

Did the breakfast call in Ahead and drive through pick up which was extremely proficient! Ordered the classic small biscuit and gravy with a side of sausage. Outstanding flavor and filled me up! Was just what I expected, like homemade wonderfulness!! Thank you very much. read more

Big Red Restaurant - Small biscuits and gravy and sausage on the side! - Barbeque Near Me - Park Hill, Oklahoma

Where the locals eat! This restaurant has a robust breakfast menu and the breakfast buffet is for real! Especially for me I enjoyed the biscuits with cream gravy and I put some mushrooms on them, also on the buffet bar. Staff was very friendly, and where else can you hear awesome music at 8 AM on a Sunday morning while you're eating a breakfast buffet? read more

The service was amazing, and the food was even better! Highly recommend Big Red Restaurant! We are from Iowa and wanted to support a local business! Make sure you stop here if you are in the area! read more

Stopped in here for breakfast while staying at the lake. Seat yourself, friendly service and good home eatin. We both had the 3 meat omelette, hash browns and biscuit with side of creamy gravy. Omelette was big and very yummy, hash browns were tasty and the homemade biscuit was soft and on point. Great breakfast read more

Big Red Restaurant - Breakfast Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Park Hill, Oklahoma

STAY AWAY !! Not a mask in the building. Absolutely no Covid measures taken at all. Tables close together, no social distancing at all. Meatloaf was 2 hamburgers stuck together with gravy on top. Lettuce in salad wilted beyond being edible. No questions when our plates went back hardly touched. Just an overall terrible experience. read more

DONT EAT HERE read more

Take it from a local.... This place has gone downhill and not because of Covid. They have shrunk portions and killed quality control. It's no longer a go-to place - do yourself a favor and try the new restaurant down the street or the pizza spot across the street instead. read more

Came to the drive thru at 4:15 on a Monday. pushed the button and waited... and waited. finally someone came over the speaker and said they would be with me shortly. Waited again. After a spell I drive around and went in figuring I could just place my order there. NO ONE WAS IN THE RESTAURANT!!! Someone finally came up to me. I asked what the issue was on why we are left waiting. I was told point blank... THEY WERE BUSY. Do yourself a favor and choose a different restaurant. The service here is incredibly bad read more

This has been a favorite place for 40 years. All you can eat quail night is on Mondays. BBQ plate is plenty for my wife and I to share. Great breakfast place. It's a Tenkiller must. A country place with country folks...very easy for a wheelchair to get around... read more

We made the mistake of choosing the breakfast buffet. The eggs were watery, bacon was hard (not crispy I mean hard) gravy was watery, and every person who played high school football in the 60's were there. They had decent fried potatoes but that was about it. read more

Not to impressed with this place. Was passing through town and saw this place. Thought maybe a hole in the wall cafe might be good. When I walked in I saw that they had a lunch special. The dry erase board said hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy and a side salad. The sandwich consisted of two pieces of white bread, two very overcooked and dry, thin slices of beef and about a pint of Brown gravy. A small scoop of mashed potatoes and NO SALAD. No explanation, no oops let me fix that, just a check and a lack of service. Oh well, definitely won't ever go back there... Even if I'm starving! read more

This local dive has a nice atmosphere and is run decently for a small town place. The menu looks very good. I wished I was hungry enough to try the ribs but I only got coconut pie, which was very good. The coffee was also good. Waitresses were friendly and helpful. It was a little confusing walking into the door as there were no signs or staff to direct you, but I figured this is one of those places where they don't care where you sit and I think I was right. They also have that little crushed ice like I like. read more

This place has THE BEST breakfast, THE BEST blueberry pancakes - ever. Super affordable. I would eat here every single morning if I could. If you're within driving range you need to go. read more

I don't know why anyone would eat here. The place is old and dingy. Looks like it has never had a good cleaning. Everyone rants about the breakfast's, but their dinners are horrible. Ordered hamburgers and salads to take to the lake for a picnic dinner. No salad dressings, silverware, condiments. the lettuce in salad was old and slimy. Hamburgers might as well have been hockey pucks. Learned my lesson! read more

Today we purchased a Coconut Meringue pie and it was one of the BEST Coconut Meringue pies we have ever eaten !! It was delicious and the filling was still warm and the Meringue and crust was PERFECT!! From now on we certainly know where to go to get the perfect pie!! read more

Ordered 2 HB on Thursday. When we got them home they were hard as a rock and the party was black. This is the 2nd time we have ordered at night and this is what we got. Beware if you don't want to eat hockey putts don't eat here! Awful !!! read more

First of all, their address is: 26186 Oklahoma 82, Park Hill, OK 74451 (918) 456-0411. C'mon Yelp, get it right. They even have their own website, plus it is a drive thru and a dine in restaurant. Their grilled catfish is divine! I had it both times I ate there, and both times it was delicious. Seasoned just right, juicy and tender/flaky. Texture and temperature was just right. It came with a side of either cole slaw or salad (I had the salad), choice of fries, baked potato or mashed potato, a couple of hush puppies, some really good tartar sauce, and a huge serving of catfish. I don't know how I managed it, but I also got a piece of pie. The lemon meringue pie and chocolate meringue pie were good. They also have a good selection of BBQ. I wish I could go back and try some. The service is excellent. I talked with three of the wait staff while I was there, because I like to chat. They were all friendly, helpful, and competent. I have no complaints about this place. read more

Cheap food with an awesome taste! I got the ribs and French fries and the ribs were fall off the bone delicious! The ranch is the best ranch you'll ever try! read more

The food was good, the service was excellent. The bad review is due to the unprofessionalism I saw from the manager or owner. She was unhappy about something and was scolding her wait staff like they were animals and doing it in front of paying customers. This just really ruined my whole experience here. I won't be back. I'm surprised anyone would work for her after that. read more

Terrific weekend breakfast buffet and very reasonable prices. Like the breakfasts best there. I'd give it a 5 based on the breakfasts. The catfish was quite good as noted in other interviews. But, I'd probably give the other meals other than breakfast generally a 3 or average. They are very convenient to Tenkiller Lodge which is where I stayed across the street.. Give them a try. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, fabulous food, excellent service, and a great value. Big Red's has become a family favorite and will surely be yours as well! read more

My wife and I stopped by Big Red Restaurant Saturday on the way home from Tenkiller Lake. I had their Big Red Slam Sandwich, BBQ 3 meat , it was incredible. My wife had a small chicken fried steak that was great too. Had to finish with one of the best coconut cream pies we have ever split. Can't wait to be in that area again. I wanted their Mushroom Swiss burger. The burgers I saw that other people had were big like I like them. I got their onions rings they were really good too. read more

Me and my husband stopped there. I ordered the BBQ sandwich, fries and a drink. My husband ordered the Hamburger Steak with mash potatoes and green beans, they brought him as salad which he apparently wasn't aware of ordering. The salad consisted of packaged salad mix and stale crackers with a bowl of french dressing. When our food came the very rude waitress brought a hamburger patty and a small bowl of green beans. My husband took the plate back and asked her where the potatoes were and she said, "You didn't order any." He stood there asking for potatoes with his plate in his hand and she kept saying, "You didn't order any." Finally he said, "Well I am not going to eat this or pay for it without the potatoes." I was so upset it was all I could do to continuing eating all that good BBQ and start on my delicious french fries. Meanwhile, he had drawn a line in the sand and she was attempting to cross over it. Dirty looks were exchanged and the stink eye was given. He finally retreated from battle and came and set down with some mash potatoes and gravy added to his plate, "Good job," I said. He seemed happy for a split second but soon found out the waitress's kindness was all a ruse because they had knowingly not put onions in the hamburger steak. (There is no telling how much money they save each year, cheating old men out of onions in their hamburger steak.) When we left our bill came to 30 dollars and some odd cents. Which seems high to me, I feel I could have gotten the exact same about of rudeness at McDonalds for a lot cheaper. Actually they are pretty nice to my grouchy old man at Mcdonalds. That's where we will go next time. read more
