Tucked away in the heart of Tahlequah, Sam & Ella’s Chicken Palace delivers a menu that’s anything but ordinary. Their Buffalo Chicken Pizza sets the tone—spicy, cheesy, and layered with just the right amount of tang. It’s a house favorite for good reason. The crust is hand-tossed, thin enough for a nice crisp but hearty enough to hold the generous toppings. For those who lean classic, the Pepperoni Pizza is loaded edge-to-edge, while the Vegetarian Supreme goes all in with fresh mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, and onions that still taste garden-picked.
Not just a pizza joint, this spot surprises with comfort staples like Chicken Alfredo Pasta, creamy and rich with grilled chicken that actually tastes seasoned—not just thrown in as an afterthought. The Garlic Cheese Bread is addictive, especially with their side of house-made marinara. Fans of wings aren’t left out either—Hot Wings here come crispy, never soggy, and coated in sauce that walks the line between heat and flavor.
For something a bit different, the BBQ Chicken Pizza adds a smoky sweetness that balances out the tang of the barbecue glaze, all layered over a base of gooey mozzarella. Sandwich lovers will appreciate the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, stacked high with lettuce, tomato, and a hint of peppery aioli on a toasted bun. Don’t skip the Cheesy Breadsticks, either. They’re pillowy soft with a crusty edge, perfect for dipping or devouring solo.
Even salads get their moment—the Chicken Caesar Salad offers fresh romaine, real grated parmesan, and chunks of grilled chicken that make it feel more like a meal than a side. The drink menu leans casual, with sodas and iced tea, but the food’s the real star here. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the overall vibe of the menu is pure comfort with a few clever surprises.
