Tulsa Food

Don’t let the name fool you, although The Boston Deli does serve a line up of classic sandwiches, we found this long time Tulsa restaurant a place to explore far from ordinary classics for lunch and upscale bold contemporary food for dinner. The Boston Deli is a place to explore food, take for instance their [...]

Easily one of the most discussed topics on this website, and a large part of the food foundation of Tulsa, the hamburger is something Tulsa takes very seriously.  Mix that with one of the craziest food events of the year, I’m talking about the Tulsa State Fair, add a little movie /pop culture on top [...]

Oh my gosh, clothes, shoes and accessories…. The Market at 8281 South Harvard Avenue is awesome for those things. But wait a second, I’m a dude and ya…although The Market is amazing for shopping, there is something even more special about this spot that everyone should know about. Hidden in the back left corner of [...]

Everyone has a story or two that involves a grilled cheese sandwich, I know I do. From throughout my childhood, through my bachelor days and now at the new Sage Rage Melt Bar on Brookside. The star of my stories has always been the sandwich which has interestingly evolved and while maintaining simplicity it has [...]

Yes lunch and yes a breakfast hotspot, Brookside By Day. I am always surprised at how amazing lunch can be at well known breakfast spots. I really shouldn’t be surprised, think about it, if you’re a breakfast restaurant, you are going to have the best bacon and a seasoned grill. The Burger – crispy, seared [...]

Yep, that pretty much did it for me. Seeing those words above the door all but guarantee I’m going to enjoy my lunch. I LOVE Oktoberfest, and the food is the best part, so when a friend of mine suggested I go check out Margaret’s German Restaurant at the Farm shopping center, it sounded like [...]

I must admit, the name threw me off a bit. I mean Pink, are you kidding. I guess I was assuming dainty tea cups, women in funny hats and portions that couldn’t choke a horsefly. But, to my euphoria (I like that word), not only was the food incredible but the portions were hearty and [...]

I’m honestly reluctant to write this review and share it with you. I love Lunabread Local Foods Emporium and dread the day that everyone knows about it, fills up its limited space, and eats all of their artisan creations before I do. My eating affair with Lunabread Local Foods Emporium began last summer at the [...]

Ever have days where you just want to get out of the house, grab a warm lunch and do some shopping? Well yesterday, that’s just what we did. Brian and I decided to take a much needed break for lunch and head down the street to The Ripe Tomato inside The Market. I have always [...]

The title of this entry should really be “Covering Traditional Thai with Velveeta Cheese is smackyomomma GOOD!” I have been involved in many discussions about totally Americanized Pad Thai vs. more authentic Pad Thai.  After visiting Thai Village the non-traditional like yo momma made mac-N-Cheese or just straight up covered leftovers with cheese, in my [...]

You’d have to go back to Indian Territory days to find a time when there was no Middle Eastern food cooked in Tulsa. The first Lebanese immigrants arrived sometime around 1895. And buffet lines and all-you-can-eat deals were probably around long before that. Those early settlers were hungry. The first all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet in this [...]

The crown has been passed. There’s a new king in town. Let it be known throughout the land that the new Grand Pooh-Bah, Supreme Monarch and Reigning Emperor of Fried Chicken in the State of Oklahoma is A-1 Chicken Shack on 46th Street North in the City of Tulsa! The whispers first reached me a [...]

Sometimes good is good enough. If you want the best fried catfish you can imagine, make the drive to Bixby and head for Lazy Fisherman (Review). For the best Cajun food, go to Lafayette, Louisiana or to Chicory & Chives (Review), it’s up to you. But if you’re cruising around the superstore zone at 71st [...]

Well this is your week. Restaurant Week starts this Sunday and includes 16 great restaurants. You can pick [...]

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 [...]

Heck of a lunch experience. The Savory Chef restaurant located in the back of the cooking gadget store is a small but very enjoyable place. My friend and I were seated in the center of the restaurant a few tables back from the kitchen and greeted by the owners as soon as we sat down. [...]

Not sure what you want to eat for lunch or dinner. My solution to that is a restaurant with a rotating menu or chalkboard. There are many restaurants in Tulsa that fulfill my indecisiveness. One of them is Campus Grill. Their always changing chalkboard seems to always have something exciting and garsh-darn good on it. [...]

El Rio Verde is one of those places that seems like it’s been there forever. I don’t remember how I first discovered it. I used to wander quite a bit around that part of the Northside, so I might have come across it in one of my explorations. But its location is so obscure and [...]

By all means, go for the view. It’s the best in Tulsa. And the paintings, those dreamy, brooding, majestic works by Bierstadt, Moran, Remington, Homer — they’re world-famous and you can spend the day happily lost in their verdant worlds. But I went for the food, and it’s well worth the trip. I had always [...]

For a woman, few things are better than shopping and dessert. I love a day when I have lunch with a friend, enjoy a few hours of shopping at my own pace and top it all off with dessert in the afternoon followed by a nap. Lunch is best when it’s spur-of-the-moment, but since The [...]

Rick’s Café is still going strong. Back in the ’70s, when Tulsa was booming, Rick Kamp was the only chef in town. Oh, I should qualify that, because there was great cooking being done in rural farmhouses, meals with vegetables straight off the vine that would make any New Yorker drool with envy. But if [...]

When it comes to Mexican food, Tulsa definitely has a long list of establishments that will feed anyone’s perception of good Mexican food. Check out the list below [...]
