Tulsa Food

My first visit to Ike’s Chili was not for the chili. I was cruising down Admiral one afternoon in search of a burger and got lucky. It must have been the gravitational pull of good meat (grilled perfectly) beautifully charred and topped with jalapeno soaked bacon that brought me to Ike’s that day, or it [...]

I used to walk four miles to go to Ron’s. Back then, Ron’s was located in what looked like, and probably at one time was, a little country shack out near Harvard. There was a long counter with about 12 stools. No tables. The place was always packed and there’d be a line of people [...]

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 [...]

Fat Guys Burger Bar is a special kind of joint here in Tulsa. If you’ve been there then you understand what I’m talking about. A menu of only double burgers with a list of addictive specialty burgers and one which I cannot get over. Whether your in the mood for a quality double cheeseburger, a [...]

There is something about summertime and the 21st and Yale area that brings about great feelings in Tulsa. It must be the water park, summer events at Expo Square, and memories from the old Drillers Stadium. Naturally, I associate memories with food and it seems like summertime mostly involves a burger in one hand and [...]

I couldn’t believe my eyes and my taste buds when I first bit into the Black and Blue burger at Backyard Burger. Did I just order this burger in a drive-through? Yes I did, however, this burger was everything opposite of what you would expect to find at a drive-through burger joint. If you don’t [...]

Each and every month, one of my favorite spots in town to grab a bite and a pint comes out with a new specials menu, ranging from Soups, Appetizers, Desserts, delicious German specialties for Oktoberfest to one of my favorites, BURGERS. Last year I went down to Kilkenny’s with 8 other burger lovers, and we [...]

If there’s one thing people like to do in this town called Tulsa, it’s eat. Here’s a list of some of my latest restaurant and food finds. My bet is that you’ll want to add them to your list of places to try. The Las Vegas Buffet of Pizza: Top That Pizza: The Kids’ Table [...]

My last burger post of 2010 ends up being one of my favorites of all time – a road trip to Meers, Oklahoma to The Meers Store. Meers, Oklahoma is around 200 miles and over 3 hours from Tulsa, OK. Have heard many great things about the Meers Burger that’s made from Longhorn cattle that [...]

Did you know that there is a radio show in Tulsa dedicated to Foodies? It’s called OKFoodie and  there are a few ways to listen in; On the radio every Saturday afternoon at One and Sunday mornings at Nine on AM 740 and FM 102.3.  You can listen anytime at their website http://www.okfoodie.com or my [...]

One of my favorite dishes, Biscuit & Gravy, is a southern dish normally eaten for breakfast and the comfort it bring me is second to none. Those of you that know me understand that my love for hamburgers is rooted in my soul. Last weekend, at opening night of the new Duke’s Southern Kitchen in [...]

Traveling is fun. Regardless of the size of city you travel to, you can always rely on tools such as local food bloggers, urbanspoon or yelp and even national tv networks to point you in the direction of mind-blowing food at unique joints. A few days back while passing through Amarillo, we hit up Coyote [...]

Blogging is nothing short of an adventure. For me, my adventure involves a lot of food!  Good food, bad food, grassy food, fancy food, some crap I would never eat again, and just about everything else you could imagine. I often feel guilty anytime I order the same thing from a previous visit to a [...]

If you’re like me, you have a food bucket list which is basically a list of foods that you want to try at some point or another.  This year I am happily putting a check mark by the Krispy Kreme Hamburger.  Other things checked off my list include rocky mountain oysters (Thanks Ryan & Erica) [...]

Opening in 2001, owner Brett Rehorn, decided that Tulsa needed an authentic Irish Bar with true Irish libations and food.  To ensure authenticity Brett spent in excess of $1 Million Dollars (said in your best Dr. Evil voice) to create his Irish Bar in Ireland and have it shipped back to Tulsa for assembly.  He [...]

Many call Goldie’s Patio Grill a Tulsa staple and tradition, I agree. However, (with all due respect) I disagree with those that believe Goldie’s serves up one of Tulsa’s best burgers. Do they have a good burger? I think I am struggling with the answer…. do they? I recently had a good experience at Goldie’s [...]

The burger I’ve been hooked on at Billy’s since opening has been their Theta Burger. For those not from Oklahoma, a Theta burger is a burger topped with mayo, pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, and a hickory bbq sauce. These items in combination make an amazing burger. Billy’s version of the Theta keeps it classic with [...]

Having frequented Daily Grill multiples times with each experience being very good, I was looking forward to sampling their Black and Bleu Burger that was on their online menu which stated being stuffed, yeah stuffed, with Bleu Cheese and cracked black pepper and topped with a Bleu Cheese Mayo and served with their amazing Onion [...]

That big flat kind of burger you used to see a lot of in Tulsa can be a work of art. I remember going to the 15th Street branch of Ron’s when Ron Baber himself was working and watch him cook my burger with the grace of a ballerina. The restaurant looked like a cowshed [...]

Linda-Mar Drive-In has been a west Tulsa fixture since the early 1970’s with various members of the McCutchen family keeping the tradition alive. With a motto of “The Westside is the Best Side” I had to go with the Westside Cheese Burger that consists of double meat & cheese on Texas Toast. I was looking [...]

Day two of our glorious, college-nerd-style Spring Break (the kind where you don’t go to Padre or Cozumel or anywhere like that but instead stay home to cuddle the books you’ve been waiting to read for six months) was a fun-filled day. We: Slept in. Took a long nap. Went to bed early. (Are we [...]

The New Atlas Grill is located in the beautiful nationally registered art deco 12 floor Atlas Life Building, built in 1922. The Atlas Life Coffee Shop operated since its opening but went by the way side over the years. In the mid 1990’s Matt and Brooke Kelly (who now own and operate Lucky’s Restaurant) opened [...]
