Cherokee Strip BBQ

Had some bbq ribs turkey and sides for take out. It’s really good. Delicious bbq sauce. The ribs had a lot of meat on them, more than rib crib or chili’s.
My father in law has been getting lunch here for ages. I thought it looked really small without a lot of parking. I’ll have to dine in sometime!

I recently got married and use this barbecue place as my caterer. I went in a month before the wedding letting them know what I want and how I wanted it they were absolutely awesome! They came in before the wedding set everything up for me provided all of the warmers offered plates and utensils even though we had our own and to top it off they came back and took it all down for us so we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We were very satisfied with their service and the food was delicious! I have highly suggest using them if you want somebody that’s reliable and helpful during the crazy planning of any big event!

Sides i had were good, only positive thing I can say. 5 ribs/​2 sides dinner and drink over $ 17! Ribs, seemed decent quality, but were way over cooked making the sauce necessary, just eat them, Like day old burnt ends…
Biggest issue-​Dining area is filthy! The ceiling is so nasty, dustball fell into my beans, i left with 3 ribs left. Being from Memphis area, i wanted to like it, and not go to RibCrib (which is a sin if you are from Memphis area) but they need to clean EVERYTHING

Outstanding hole in the wall BBQ joint. We drive from Ponca just for the beans. The meat is a bonus.

We normally get good friendly service, but tonight the owner was there so I got the previously rejected ribs (cold, hard, very little meat) put on my plate (great. :/​) I should have said, I’m not paying $ 11.95 for that crap and tossed it back at him. But he was too busy bitching out the new employee for his «wastefulness», not realizing his chintziness just cost him a repeat customer. Then while eating we also witnessed a woman (I’m guessing the owner’s wife) giving another employee hell. And this was an employee that has served our family well on several occasions… Really?! Friday night during dinner rush is the time you chose to clean house? Smh. BUT, they do have THE BEST potato salad, bar none!

Love the BBQ buffet during my college days. They have one of the best pecan pies ever! And the ribs are tender and delicious.

Average is the word. If you’re looking for the undiscovered mythical hole in the wall treasure, keep moving. This isn’t it. These are not fall-​off-​the-​bone slow smoked dishes.
Food is overpriced for the quantity & quality it delivers. A small rib dinner cost $ 17 when its value was more like $ 9.
Staff is not friendly or welcoming.
The place isn’t bad, but you can get equal quality at any chain.

Stopped here for a meal on the way back from Enid to OKC. The reviews said «The best BBQ I’ve ever had!!»…which sounded safe to me. Well, my business associate told me to order ribs, and after asking the tall gentleman behind the counter (I assume he’s the man in charge) what the best meat to get is, he said, «Definitely the ribs.» I ordered a half-​rack and a side of baked beans.
Much to my chagrin, he pulled out an old slab of pig from food warmer, and began to slice the half racks for my associate and me. My associate then ordered some fried okra, to which the boss said, «I’ll have to cook you up some fresh.» No problem.
We sat down and began to chew at what rivaled some of the toughest pork jerky I’ve ever eaten. I thought, «well, I don’t want to offend the owner OR my associate, so I’ll try to eat these.»
Couldn’t do it… I said, «dude, we’re gonna get soooo sick!» He replied, «How sick?»…
Me: «We’ll be hugging to toilet for sure.»
Associate: «Well, we’re in this together!»
I then attempted to eat the beans… luke warm, from a large batch. Couldn’t do it either.
Bottom line: food that isn’t cooked and held at a safe temperature isn’t safe to eat. I’m not sure if this food HAD been hot. I AM sure that this food was dry. Perhaps I should’ve asked the owner for another stab at it, or if nothing else a refund. Either way, we left hungry and continued on our way. We’ve both concluded that the Okra is still sitting in the fryer… at least WE never saw it.
I don’t know how food reviews are typically written… maybe this joint was just having a rough night. Who knows. What I can tell you, is that restaurants like Cherokee often only get one chance to make a friend or foe. I have opportunities to pass through this town often, but sadly, won’t be back to this restaurant.
Please clean your bathroom, heat up your food, and for goodness sake, throw out meat that looks dry!

THE best BBQ I’ve ever had! It’s pricy but very good!

A great place for Oklahoma BBQ! 12÷3÷11 with Patrick.

I really enjoyed this place. The location is convenient, the food was delicious and the staff was helpful. We always had take out from here, and the price was affordable as well as large potions. Try the brisket sammich!

Not the best BBQ in the world by any means, but it’s ok.
