Tulsa Food

The Blue Dome District is best know for its night life – bowling and beer halls, sushi and sex shops, fine dining and … You get the picture. The annual Blue Dome Arts Festival last week drew me to the district during the day, however, and I rediscovered an old friend. Blue Dome Diner has [...]

Ardmore, Oklahoma. 7 AM. The day after Thanksgiving. All the fast-food places along Route 35 were barely getting by. Jimmy’s Egg was full. Full of big burly guys. Beards and overalls, farmers and truckers. Serious eaters. For years I’d wanted to try Jimmy’s in Tulsa, and I figured that if the Ardmore Jimmy’s, with the [...]

There are many different kinds of sports bars. Some are constantly crowded within a shoebox of a space, with the regulars slugging dollar drafts at 10:00 in the morning on a Tuesday. Some are large and spread out with so much to explore you cannot focus on the game. And then there are those few [...]

I adore going to brunch on the weekend. There is something so perfect about the mid morning time, the diverse menu options, and the boisterous banter from the locals all speaking of all the exciting plans or events they look forward to. It’s a “happy meal” without the drive thru. Dilly Deli has a great [...]

I’m a biscuit and gravy, bacon and egg kind of dude. But lets be honest…you can’t eat that everyday. These days there are so many breakfast options and being that its the most important meal of the day I recommend exploring all the options. We recently discovered not just a variety of breakfast wraps and [...]

It’s the weekend, late morning. Not quite feeling breakfast, not quite feeling lunch. There’s no better solution than a good ‘ole brunch. Brunch at Sarah’s fits the bill for a hole-in-the-wall breakfast/lunch place. It just reminds you of one of those places “where the locals eat.” Very small, yet cozy with plates flying out of [...]

My trip to Sproutz was nothing short of refreshing. A small, hole-in-the-wall deli at 26th & Harvard – be on the lookout, it’s easy to miss. Sproutz has built up quite a reputation for serving fresh, healthy, out of the box meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sandwiches, Wraps, Salads, and homemade dressings that will [...]

From Art deco high rise buildings to rolling hills in the south, we have great diversity from one side of the town to the other. I miss my days of working in the heart of Downtown Tulsa, however, often visit to explore some of Tulsa’s best locally owned restaurants. A few weeks ago we headed [...]

How often do you eat a lip-smackingly delicious dinner and then, much later, realize that you’ve been tricked into eating a totally healthy meal, prepared with no fat whatsoever and more crunchy locally grown veggies than you normally eat in a week? Oh, once in a Blue Moon. Blue Moon certainly does not advertise themselves [...]

It was only a 15 minute drive, much of it past miles of trees with not a house in sight, but when we pushed through the swinging doors (proudly painted “Crescent Cafe, Prattville Ok.”) it seemed as if we’d gone much farther. It was a long, lazy friendly room, pretty full at 5 PM, and [...]

Bigger, better than ever, open for breakfast lunch and dinner, and now in South Tulsa. There was a woman from New Iberia, Louisiana who visited Chicory & Chives back when it was a tiny Westside diner. She ordered the Crawfish Etouffee. It was so good she brought her family back to try it, and they [...]

Last week my dad was in town so I wanted to treat him to one of Tulsa’s finest homemade meals. From my experience there are many exceptional homemade meals in Tulsa but this one had to be special and since we where craving breakfast at one in the afternoon Shiloh’s Restaurant, off the Broken Arrow [...]

Just as much as I consider spring and summer to be a season for BBQ’n and many other opportunities that Tulsa has to offer, I also consider it to be an awesome season for enjoying breakfast and brunch. Just imagine with me for a second stepping outside for the first time, you can feel the [...]

There is just something about the name that intrigued me to try Sproutz. It sounds refreshing, fresh and healthy…almost guilt-free. It was an adventure, and we got to share it with the owner, Don Eller so that made for a great lunch-time experience. The first thing we tried was the Chicken Soup w/ Homemade Matzo [...]

You Say “Spanky’s”, I say “HeHe”… then “Mmmm!”… then “UGGHHH!” I’m gonna go ahead and make the presumption here that this is going to be it’s own series. 1. – Because the entire experience was AWESOME, and 2. – Because it’s about a 3 minute drive from my house (yes, Tulsa Food Guy lives in [...]

Corner Cafe might not be the ideal Valentine’s Day date. however, if you are looking for a bit of an adventure and an awesome chicken fried steak on Tulsa’s stretch of Route 66…this is your spot. For some, walking into Corner Cafe will give you a feeling that will make you want to walk out [...]

Check out this delicious lunch special from Chicory & Chives. This is Cajun grilled shrimp with cheese grits. The shrimp is spicy and tender and the cheese grits are definitely more sophisticated than they seem. Loaded with flavor (and bacon), they are so light and fluffy. The sausage was an unexpected extra and was not [...]

I think it’s about time we got around to Breakfast Deals, Tulsa. Now I’m a huge fan of the American breakfast, but they’re already pretty cheap. So much so that most of the Tulsa restaurants I contacted told me that they are reluctant to discount them any further. But all this week at Tulsa Restaurant [...]

Tulsa is introducing a new concept into a land of burgers, french fries, steaks and milkshakes. Going Raw.  This concept has been sweeping the country for a few years now and has proven to be a healthier alternative to what most people know as “normal” eating. Cooking not only destroys nutrition and enzymes, but when [...]

We are Sad to tell you that Fire Rock Grill is Closed… Sunday Brunch always brings back great memories of family get-togethers and my Dad & Mom in the kitchen making us all something wonderful. My Dad is an expert waffle maker. Needless to say I’m all about brunch and I especially love unique brunch, [...]

I am a huge fan of Brunch, so when there’s a restaurant that serves Brunch anytime, I’m there! Kyle Phillips, co-owner of Brookside By Day & BBD II, has opened a new restaurant right across from the TU stadium at 11th & Harvard! Campus Grill serves Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner! Plus they have daily chef [...]

We are Sad to tell you that Crusty Croissant is Closed… It’s Saturday, late morning, and we are hungry for a good brunch!  Since weekend day drives are our favorite, we decide to drive around until we see a place that stands out!  Heading down Peoria St., we come across the cutest little bakery/cafe called [...]

Brunch is one of those idealistic meals that I spend the week relishing the thought of. One of the best things about Sunday’s is having an amazing brunch with friends or family. There are so many wonderfully unique brunches around town. Brunch is the one meal a week that you can relax, enjoy the beauty [...]

This homemade ooey-gooey breakfast sandwich exceeds the McGriddle by far!  Cinnamon rolls made into French toast creates the foundation of this unique beauty.  The middle consists of Crisp applewood bacon drizzled in thick maple syrup atop a layer of pecan halves and fresh strawberries.  All ingredients were purchased at Tulsa’s own Reasor’s grocery paradise.  Mmmmmm…. [...]

This Restaurant is closed, but enjoy the review! I just moved to Tulsa from Oklahoma City. Every Sunday in OKC, masses of people head out for what we call “brunch.” True brunch consists of great food and most importantly, MIMOSAS! When I got to Tulsa, I started asking around for the local brunch places and [...]

On a lazy Saturday, a few friends and I decided to try out the new Brookside by Day on the Southside. I had been to the Brookside location awhile back but had not been to this particular location. We were seated really quickly for the time of day. I had the huge breakfast burrito which [...]
