Reviews
I stopped in for a weekday lunch, and the Branch is such a vibe. We love the upstairs outdoor patio seating. We sat inside today with a perfect view of the creek. It's located downtown in a great location. Our server was the nicest fella. And our meals were delicious. The menu changed since I had it last, so there were more options. I enjoyed my catfish! And they are great for evening cocktails.
Enjoyed the appetizers by the creek. Great service! Enjoyable atmosphere for pre-dinner.
It's really unfortunate that we weren't going to come to this restaurant because of the last two reviews. Yet we did and I'm so glad we did. The Branch makes us want to move here. Of course we wouldn't move for a restaurant. However, we got a taste of what the town is at The Branch. It's funky, friendly, kind, fun, interesting, eclectic, I could go on. It's a place that already is, but will evolve. The best service - like we were with friends who had great service. Quality food. Good people. Incredible drinks. We can't wait to come back. Brendan! You're good people and all that work there on your team. Thanks for taking care of us.
We were driving through Tahlequah Saturday afternoon and were told this was the best food around. We weren't listed to; dang good food. We're definitely stop again when driving through.
This was my first visit to The Branch and it was a great experience. We arrived prior to Happy Hour and we ordered the shrimp cocktail, large charcuterie board, and fried mushrooms, along with the blackberry martini and mimosa. Our waiter was very charismatic and was the epitome of patience answering my multitude of questions. The view was gorgeous and you can see the back of the NSU campus from the back glass walled patio. I would definitely recommend.
