The name of this BBQ joint has me confused. It is spelled "Above P@R." Check the signs. The…read morerestaurant's theme is a play on golf. No barn tin, farm implements, road signs, not even a picture of a cow inside the restaurant. A golf themed, side of the road, rural country BBQ restaurant sure seems odd to me. And instead of PAR, it is P@R? And then, Above P@R? Wouldn't you want to be below par. Isn't that how golf works? The goal is to come in under par? That means you are good, right? I'm sure that there were hours of thought that went into the name, and it all makes sense to someone. Just never mind, lets focus on the food. It is a clean, simple little cinder block building on the south side of highway 64, west of Tahlequah. Nothing fancy. The menu covers the BBQ essentials: ribs, brisket, sausage, pulled pork and an Oklahoma favorite bologna. The usual sides, mandatory fried okra, etc. etc. and a surprise, normally only appearing during your family holiday get togethers, Deviled Eggs! Yep, Deviled Eggs! My wife opted for the Brisket Sandwich with fried okra and potato salad. Brisket here is excellent. Tender, lean with a thick smokey bark. I had the jalapeno sausage, baked beans and the potato salad. Great tasting, smokey sausage. The potato salad here is exceptional. Not the typical mustard potato salad, like you pick up at Walmart in the deli section. I'd guess that Above P@R's potato salad is derived from a secret family recipe. It is tasty. The bake beans tasted like they spent some time in the smoker with the brisket. A nice touch of smoke. The helpings of the sides are generous. Check the pictures. We couldn't finish them all. A selection of BBQ sauce is on the table. The hot is perfect!!! Great friendly service from a feisty young lady working today. My receipt said it was Christina. Most BBQ joints are "par" for the course. "Above P@R BBQ" is very good! So, in golf terms, being better, it is below par. That made sense, right? EAT HERE! The food is fantastic. Be sure to try the golf ball challenge. You might win your meal!

We didn't know what to expect, given the fast-casual style. But every dish we tried was amazing. We ordered a platter with brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. Got the baked beans and mac & cheese on the side. All the meats were perfectly cooked. The mac was tasty. And these baked beans were insanely delicious. One of the highlights is their BBQ sauce. It is a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy. Nice and thick, not watered down at all. When we return to Tahlequah, we'll definitely be back!

Four of us went here for lunch. I was the only one that ordered a cheese burger. My burger…read morefinally came out when the rest were almost finished eating. The cheese burger was burnt. I am talking burned black as coal. First I noticed the cheese was burnt so took off top bun and saw meat was thin and burnt so bad there was no way I could eat it. I couldn't get waitress attention so walked the plate over to her. Showed her the burnt food. She was not a happy camper when I told her I didn't want anything else. Just a refund. Everybody in my party was finished eating and there was no way I would have them sit and wait. Then to top it off instead of sending the food back the waitress made sure dump it in the trash can near us and look at me like I did something wrong.

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.

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.

We had to make a last minute trip to Tahlequah, but had never been so I looked for good ratings and…read morechose this place to eat. It didn't disappoint. I got the 1/2lb pulled pork plate and my wife got chicken. I was pretty shocked at the portion size of the pulled pork when it came out and thought how did this place get so many good reviews. You will see in my picture how tiny the meat cup was. It turns out the meat was packed in very tight and was way more than it appears. I mentioned this to one of the owners that maybe the presentation could be better so people don't immediately think they got nothing and he didn't seem concerned about the appearance because they weigh every portion. It's a nice little building with a giant tv. I didn't try the ribs but he told me they are specially imported and what they are known for. I will definitely go back and try again.

I was looking for yelp suggestions and Brown bag was at the top of the list. So glad I stopped in. The place is simple, spotlessly clean and full of people enjoying great barbecue. The guy who took my order was super friendly and helpful with suggestions - the ribs and slaw and fries were an overwhelming yes! Other people at the bar top eating were encouraging me to get ribs. I had my ribs dry and got a side of their delicious vinegary sauce. The ribs were delicious and fell off the bone. The coleslaw is probably the best I've ever had because it was finely blended & chopped, very creamy and delicious. The burgers are supposed to be great so I'll have to make another trip. Great food, great service!
