The owner of this place is great! We enjoyed a delicious pizza here after we explored around the park for a while. Great views and great places to check out around here. There is a small souvenir shop with a few essentials here as well. Lots of parking and seating inside. read more

My party was staying in the area for restful time in one of the 100's of private cabins available. We decided to head out for lunch at the restaurant inside the park. We've been eating there for over 10+ year and heard that it had been completely remodeled and under new ownership. What a beautiful restaurant remodel. We loved the huge back porch area that was overlooking the river that runs through the park. It was a beautiful day to dine al fresco. The newly revamped menu offers many options. I opted for the chicken fried steak sandwich with sweet potato fries. Other entrees in our party, a burger, and chicken sandwiches. We had a wonderful server who was very personable and welcoming. My chicken fried steak sandwich was good even with it being in the fryer a bit longer than it should have been. The rest of my party said their entrees were also very good. We had a great time dining, conversing and watch the river lazily flow by. The river in the park is very interesting, if you watch it carefully, you'll notice it changes flow when they open the flood gates. read more

We were in the area during the off-season. The staff was extremely friendly. We enjoyed our meal greatly. We came after dark, so I couldn't really see what the view looked like, but I am sure it was lovely. The place is very laid back. There is plenty of parking, and you do not have to pay the parking fee to park and eat there. The menu has beer and wine, but there was none available when we visited in December. I don't know if they were out or no longer served it. When we are back in the area we will come back. read more

We enjoyed our visit. Owner was there and is extremely friendly. We liked the place that was there before but the food is better now. Good BBQ and sandwiches. Very friendly service...kept our drinks full which is key. We'll be back! read more

View is amazing by river and perfectly located nearby a local swim area. Food is okay.

Pretty decent food spot for being in a state park. This place also has a nice view of the river. It's a great lunch spot after hiking as they have numerous food options. Service was good. We went around 2pm on a Saturday. We ordered the crispy chicken ceasar wrap which was pretty good along with the Mac n cheese which I do not recommend. It was extremely watery. The patty melt and French fries were also good. read more

The food and staff were so friendly and accommodating! Great patio, small menu but definitely worth it! Beautiful view of the river! We'll be back! read more

The food here was delicious and higher quality than were used to for the particular items we ordered. The boneless Buffalo bites were amazing! The mozzarella sticks were cooked well too. The salad was larger than expected and also very good. The service was quick. Our waiter in particular was very nice and checked on us in regular intervals. We sat inside in the back. The view was really pretty there. Everything was clean and appeared to be well kept. This place was a nice find. read more

Terrible experience. Jeremiah the manager had a bad attitude the minute he heard we were a party of 11. Server was ready to seat us but he said 30/45 minutes hoping we wouldn't wait. Long story short we were sat 5 minutes later, ordered coffee and left. The two other tables around us were complaining that their food was cold and the service was awful. It's a shame such a cute place has terrible management. The drive to the restaurant was pretty and our server was nice. read more

Can't say enough about how sweet and helpful the young lady was this morning. It was before hours and she came out to let me know that they opened at 8. I told her all I needed was two coffees since our pot broke. She brought out two large coffees. read more

We expected the wait to get a table (45 minutes.). But then....after ordering it took 50 minutes to get average food. We will NOT be back! Waiter was nice and view was great. Someone needs to manage this business. read more

Breakfast buffet is just "ok". But you would think with a buffet you could get what you wanted and be on your way. But no! If you need condiments or utensils you have to flag down a waiter. The wait staff is understaffed. The restaurant needs a manager with restaurant experience. Lunch was a whole other issue. Ordered from the menu and it took nearly 2 hours to get our food. The restaurant was about 1/2 full but again, understaffed! We've been coming to Beavers Bend for over 40 years. The restaurant has always been a tradition to walk to breakfast and plan our day. It has the best view in the park. It really needs to be improved. Kind of like the cabins! But that is a whole different kind of review! Come on Oklahoma, you have a gem of a park, invest in it and turn it into a revenue generator!!! read more

Chicken fried steak sandwich isn't the best but it's okay. Okra is amazing, mashed potatoes are good with gravy, the fruit is amazing and fresh, the BLT sandwich was amazing. The service from the waitress we had wasn't that great it seemed she was just having a stressful or off day but the other waitresses were good. The view there is amazing. Don't go there for drinks because they don't have them at this location. read more

Chicken fried steak was good, the brisket was okay. But our waitress Alisha was the greatest!

The customer service was awesome. That is why I am saddened to leave this review. We ordered a small pepperoni pizza and a buffalo chicken salad with extra ranch dressing. I ordered take out and brought the food back to where we were staying. The buffalo chicken salad had all the makings to be good. But it lacked flare and visual appeal. The chicken was not even tossed in the buffalo sauce. It was lazily placed on top of the salad. This means the bottom it was sitting on was soggy. Yuck! The salad was awkwardly put together and NO ranch dressing to be found. The pizza was 100% a frozen pizza that you could pick up at any supermarket. So it was very underwhelming. Save yourself $43 mixed with disappointment and eat somewhere else. read more

The service here was them worst I've experienced. Maybe they had an off night, but I've never seen staff avoid people walking in the door like they did here. Waited 40 minutes to not even get a table, I think they forgot about us honestly. Needless to say we left, as I would not want to eat somewhere with staff like this read more

Scratch kitchen in a state park setting! Food was so fantastic. The service was even better. Ambience is delightful--the restaurant sits at the bank of the river. We started with the mozzie sticks and they simply were the best I've ever had. They make their own. Rolled in buttermilk and flour 3x before the panko breading. Fried to perfection. The marinara was so flavorful. We had burgers and fries. Their make their own fresh patties. Nothing is frozen or premade. The bun was soft and grilled to perfection. The cheeses were melty. The sauces were delicious. What a great burger. This will rival any burger house across America. They are even ready to Beat Bobby Flay! Give this team a chance to wow you, you won't be disappointed! read more

Walked in and waited to be seated then a server came by a told us it would be a 45 minute wait.... The restaurant was empty and so was the parking lot so I don't know how the wait could be that long. Seems like they just didn't wanna work. Very disappointing on our last day in Broken Bow..... read more

This place has horrible service and horrible fry's and the people here are super rude and have attitude to all the people and gives tiny tiny proportions of food don't come here at all read more

Said it was open then we got there after driving for 30 mins and it was closed In the middle of the day on a Saturday .Needs to do better at letting costumers know they are not open. 0/10 wouldn't recommend read more

Amazing views from the patio and the food is just as incredible!! Jessica, the manager, went out of her way to make sure we were happy. Thanks to Jessica and her staff - great way to spend a Saturday morning with friends and family!! read more

Went here with my family on a Sunday evening. The view from the patio and outside is amazing and very scenic. Really wanted to like this restaurant more that but was about all it had going for it. The food was not very good and all six of us ordered different things. It was obvious with some of the food it was frozen before or straight from a can. read more

We came here for Easter weekend 2025. Two adults and one dog, we got sat at the patio, which we were expecting for having our furry friend with us. However, three different parties got sat after us. Two of which also had dogs. All three of these parties got their drinks before us, and started to get their orders taken before us. One server at least brought water to our dog, thus the one star im giving this place. After waiting for about 30 minutes we just decided to get up and leave. Clearly nobody had intentions of serving us. read more

The restaurant was clean, the waitress was awesome, owner came to greet us at table and checked on us several times. He was super friendly. Best part is food was on point. Everything was very good. We did have to wait a little for our food but was well worth it. Owner brought us a free piece of cake that was very good. Will be back again. Give this place a 10 plus for food and service. read more

terrible customer service waiting 20 minutes on drinks alone!!! (it was 4 drinks in total) food wait was well over 40 minutes food was alright totally not worth the wait ps. the fat obese lady was trying to hit on me read more

10/10 do NOT recommend. Waited an hour to eat here. Once we were finally seated waited another hour+ for our food to arrive. Our waitress then dropped one meal on the floor with no apology and waited another 20+ minutes for the new sandwich to arrive. She also just forgot to ring in a salad in total and it also took 20+ minutes to come out. Charged us for everything, still no apology. Food not worth any of our time. Waste of half a day after this experience. read more

First time vacationing in the area and really wanted to love this restaurant. We were excited to find somewhere to eat lunch with a view but the service was *bare minimum* at best and the food did not make up for it (wasn't busy by the way). Next time we'll get food before heading into the park; nice place to stop and walk down to the water though. read more

Out for an adventure while here in Broken Bow... found this while on 259A a place for lunch. Everything was great from the recommendations from the server on top food items. Taste of food was amazing and tasty. We ate in the outside dining area with great views. Glad we stopped. read more

The food was delicious. The service was wonderful. They even sang me happy birthday and brought me a piece of cake! Loved the view also!!

They had been super busy and were understaffed, but Demetria was fantastic and the food was great. Chicken fried steak, bacon cheeseburger pie/pizza and cheeseburger salad were wonderful. read more

Great place to eat breakfast! Enjoyed view and food especially customer service from Savanna! She is so nice and sweet! We will be back for sure! read more

Nice place but the chicken fried steak was horrible and the chicken fried steak sandwich was bad also. Both were burned and I could not believe they would serve something so bad read more

We were in town for a weekend business trip. The service was okay, but the food came out cold. We sent our appetizer back and it came out cold the second time too, we just picked at it not wanting to send it back again. Our meals were mediocre. The spaghetti was flavorful but also cold, way more sauce than noodles and for the meatballs to be $6, they were not hot at all. My fiancé got the chicken tenders with two sides, both of his sides were cold so he sent the mashed potatoes back but ate the okra. The potatoes tasted like instant ones they put in the microwave. Expensive for what you get, the food wasn't great. We probably won't be back. Maybe when they're busier it's good but I can't recommend going on a Lazy Sunday afternoon. Wasn't worth the $80 we spent on two meals and an appetizer. read more

Food was wonderful. Very fresh and everyone liked what they got. Our server was so nice and very helpful. View was fantastic. The water was beautiful and really was great sitting out on the patio eating lunch. I highly recommend coming here for a great lunch. read more

This place does not exist. Do not be fooled on this one. There are no signs for this place and when we showed up it's a lodge hotel with nobody knowing about it. Do not go! read more

We had breakfast there and the food was amazing! Wish I would have taken a picture of the size of the homemade biscuit before I devoured it. The service was on point. We sat outside and listened to the rain. What a beautiful way to start your day. If we are back in this area again, I can assure you we will definitely be eating her again! read more

Had a great time here in 2023, but it seems they've changed management and it shows. Went today and was thoroughly disappointed. Waited 10-15 mins for a table (party of 15). Just needed something simple to eat. Waited another 20-25 mins after being seated. Never even saw a waiter/waitress in that time. Only about a quarter of the tables were in use. We finally gave up and left. Got the impression they didn't mind losing out on a well-paying order. They were probably just relieved they didn't have to put in the work. And based on other reviews, it sounds like we didn't miss much. Shame because it's in a great spot within the state park. Hopefully they do better at some point. read more

The food was really good. The appetizer with the 3 chips dip the guacamole was very good my husband said the queso and salsa was really good too. Would definitely recommend here great view. read more

Tour was fine, but was upset by the rules.... Was told you could not take your own food/ snacks on the boat...had to purchase them from their store before the tour. However, a large group was aloud to bring their own water and snack on the tour. They were stopped and told not to but then aloud. Not cool, I had to pay $8 for 3 waters yet they were aloud to bring all they wanted on board. If you have rules, live by them! read more

Thank you very much Savannah and everyone at this place. Great view. Great food. Highly recommend. Must visit spot for brunch.
