Roxie’s BBQ

A beautiful warm fall day. Perfect for a spin on 10, and a big plate of BBQ along the scenic Illinois river byway. Roxie's BBQ is the place for lunch and dinner. A destination restaurant for bikers, car enthusiast and river floaters. Outside dining only, order at the window and your food is delivered to your table. The tables surround the shady sides of the building. Most all are covered, either under the patio or under each table's individual umbrella. Tall metal stools are lined up along the north side of the patio behind a slim bar like table. They looked very comfortable. We selected two and relaxed. In minutes we were enjoying delicious Roxie's BBQ. Fast friendly service.A football sized baked potato, with tender smokey chopped brisket for me. It was loaded with meat, cheese, chopped green onion, a little sour cream and the house BBQ sauce. Get a bottle of Roxie's BBQ sauce to take home.My wife had a monstrous tray of food, the meat stacked brisket sandwich. She ordered her meal with the spicy slaw and tangy mustard potato salad. It also came with a bag of chips. Both trays had house pickled purple onion and a wedge of dill pickle. Excellent BBQ, generous filling trays of food. Check the pictures!And for dessert....a spin, north bound on 10. It was a perfect day to enjoy the curves. I made it all the way north to Hwy 412 without a single car in front of me to slow me down. My radar detector was silent for the entire trip. About mid-way there was a County Sheriff in a pull out on the west side of Hwy 10. His radar was off. Likely taking an afternoon power nap. I hope I didn't disturb his sleep.

Great BBQ place. Good hospitality. It was surprisingly nice to see that they gave us a sample of their ribs. As we ate the owner kept checking us, and we felt very welcome. Overall food was delicious. Good portion-sized size too. The mac n cheese was cheesy and flavorful but it wasn't hot, which is a crime. The Cole Slaw, surprisingly had a kick to it. And I didn't like that it was finely minced.I had the ribs dinner plate. The ribs were flavorful, tender, and a bit smokey. Good bone-to-meat ratio. The toast is amazing perfectly buttered and toasted. The floating trip was great, but this place made our trip even more memorable. Hopefully, it's still there when we're back next time.

Outstanding BBQ, easily the best I've had since moving to Oklahoma a year ago! The owners were incredibly nice and it's a cute place with a scenic location. Our meal was so good, I had to go back and give my compliments after I was done! Excellent barbecue!! No sauce needed (which is my grade mark)

This was a great experience all around! A family run BBQ joint in Tahlequah they take great pride in their BBQ, their establishment, and their customers. I'm always judge my places on their ribs so that's where I went with my food order and with the help of business owners chose some really good sides in beans and mac&cheese.They also had these brisket stuffed, bacon wrapped jalapeños they called Tahlequah Twinkies!! I got there a little early so they weren't quite finished but I witnessed a customer come and try and purchase 3-4 of them and when told it would be 45-HR he said "I'll be back"!!This is an expanding family business with a new sit down restaurant being built close by in the future. Situated right on the river it is a great place to stop after a long float or drive. Highly recommend making the trip!

Fantastic food! Thank goodness Tahlequah has nostalgia going on in the form of the BEST BBQ! Get there early! You'll be glad you did!

Absolutely best BBQ place I've ever been too. Not only the food was great (very delicious) but the service and hospitality was great

We enjoyed the food at Roxie's BBQ. I got the pork sandwich. They have very friendly, attentive service too!

Roxie's is true gem in Tahlequah. Fantastic service and food that's better! The cost per serving with the 1-3 meat combo is a great value and the operators are always out to make the experience as quality as possible. People in our group who don't like coleslaw felt like Roxie's was actually enjoyable. I don't enjoy jalapeño's but my group had great things to say. Overall, Roxie's was one of my favorite BBQ experiences in Oklahoma, and would recommend to anyone coming up this way!
