Tulsa Food

Have you ever tasted a memory? Tonight… I did. 1998 – A 20 year old Oklahoma State College student and his pals pull into a parking spot along “The Strip” in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on a Thursday afternoon. Eager to get in line and order the Thursday special… 2-for-1 Pulled Pork sandwiches and 75 cent Budweiser [...]

“Come on Milk,” says his rascally friend Guitar Bains in Toni Morrison’s magical novel “Song of Solomon”. “This ain’t New York; choices are limited.” But this was fifty years ago and more, he wasn’t in Tulsa, and he wasn’t looking for fried chicken. New fried chicken places are springing up in Tulsa every week or [...]

When someone asks me about Mexican food in general, it’s easy for me to get really specific about what it is that I like. When I think Mexican food, the only thing that comes to my mind are the dozen or so times I have kicked back on a beach in Baja with a taco [...]

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 [...]

Wednesday was an eventful Spring Break day. Not that the other ones haven’t been. It’s just that we were especially mobile on hump day. We: Woke up early Took a long nap Wore lots of green (hello, it was St. Patrick’s Day) Drove Route 66 (Did you know that it winds right through the heart [...]

Sushi is my favorite food, so anytime I hear of a new sushi place opening I always want to try it out. Recently my husband and I visited the new Osaka in Broken Arrow. We originally went to try the hibachi, and our first visit was New Years Eve. They had apparently WAY overbooked, so [...]

With wedding season coming up, we decided to hit the Wedding Extravaganza at the Stinchcomb Mansion in Broken Arrow yesterday. It was everything that a bride or groom needs to know about planning a wedding…all in one place! Below are a few videos of some of the food vendors that we met up with. These [...]

I have heard many great things about this building that stands out on 71st/Kinosha. A lot of people have said its a great place to go for a date or a New Orleans experience. I was excited to be invited for a lunch meeting at Copelands and to try to make a connection with all [...]

Most importantly we’ve added a new category to our homepage – neighbourhoods.  So whether you live in Broken Arrow or you like to party on Brookside you can ferret out discount deals with the minimum of fuss. We also found our first exclusive [...]

Along with cooler temperatures and changing colors, this time of year brings a bounty of hearty and healthy fall foods. Apples are a perennial favorite, and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) is making it easy to enjoy this year’s harvest with Apple Fest. During the month of October, customers will find savings on apples and apple products [...]

I had the opportunity to preview the new Hideaway Pizza in Broken Arrow. Though it was nice to be considered, I have to say that Hideaway will never have to bribe me with free food. Hideaway is absolutely some of the best pizza I have ever had the privilege of eating. In my opinion pizza [...]

Out on a drive I felt compelled to alert you that Runt’s in Broken Arrow is out of business. I went there once, a few months back and didn’t realize that they might be a business in distress. The dining room was full on a cold day and the BBQ was pretty decent. It’s too [...]

Just took my Daughter and her fiancé to dinner at Stone Mill Barbecue and Steak house and wow what a meal. If you have not tried this place you need to; the Barbecue was great and so were the steaks ( I sample some of every kind), oh and HOME MADE deserts, pies, cobblers. I [...]

In the mood for some amazing rolls and a fantastic salad I took a friend to Shiloh’s. Located off the BA expressway in Broken Arrow it is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop place. The restaurant is nothing much to look at and everything about it is very country. My guest was a little apprehensive, [...]

On a business lunch we met at Runt’s BBQ. We got there right as they were opening up for lunch. The place was clearly popular because it filled up really quickly. I had the barbecue brisket sandwich and coleslaw. It was so good! The sandwich was very flavorful especially after I drenched it in their [...]

For those of you that like your hamburger pretty much straight up beef and not much more, this one is worth trying. It’s the New Gouda Burger with grilled onions and Gouda Cheese from Backyard Burger. I love how a place like Backyard Burger has multiple cheeses to pick from at their drive-thru. My favorites [...]

The second I walked into Los Cabos I was immediately overtaken with the amazing smell of Mexican food. We got right in with no wait at all which was nice. The restaurant itself is decorated in a way that makes you almost feel like you can step out of the cold Oklahoma day and into [...]

When I walked in to Big Daddy’s All American BBQ there were about 12-15 people in line but it went pretty fast and from there we decided to sit outside. As soon as I got my Ghetto Potato I snapped a picture and it was gone in 3 minutes. I mean check this thing out [...]

Pei Wei is a great Asian restaurant; grab lunch, dinner, or a to-go order. Every meal is made-to-order, with fresh ingredients.  They have three locations in Tulsa, but I like the one on Tulsa’s Brookside. It’s an upscale Asian restaurant at reasonable prices.  The atmosphere is authentic and modern, with a menu sampling flavors from [...]

If you’ve ever had REAL New York style pizza, you know the difference between it and the commercial style pizza we’ve become accustomed to.  Mario’s Pizzeria is located on 51st just east of Harvard, and offers Tulsan’s the opportunity to experience real New York style pizza. It’s made-to-order, and always made with super fresh ingredients.  [...]

So a friend of mine found out that I had never had sushi and freaked out.  He said that I had to try it.  Well folks, needless to say, I was not looking forward it at all.  I have a tough time just eating fish period…now I am suppose to eat it raw…FREAKIN’ RAW!!!!!!!!  Yuck, [...]
