Tulsa Food

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 [...]

1988. President Reagan was sending aid to our allies, including a young man named Osama bin Laden, to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. If you had a great time at the bar and wanted to share it, you’d snap some photos, rush to the store to have the film developed, and then run to [...]

It’s Friday night, or any 7 nights or afternoons of the week, you want a spot to chill with friends, a spot with charactor and some crazy good drink and food specials. That’s what I was thinking before my friends and I hit Fat Daddy’s Pub and Grille last week. Fat Daddy’s is a pub [...]

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 [...]

From Asian and Mexican to hamburgers and pizza, plus lets not forget all the wonderful places around town to grab half price happy hour appetizers such as KEO and The Brook. Many of the restaurants listed below have a special [...]

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 [...]

If you ever need a lesson on life’s essentials, plan yourself a camping trip. I quickly discovered that for me, the number one essential was food and it had to be grilled/smoked on my Hasty-Bake. Beautiful Oklahoma has numerous options when in comes to lake-side camping.  We decided to take our trip to Skiatook Lake’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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I don’t know about you, but I am excited about this weekend. You know…springing ahead. For all of you that don’t know, on Sunday we will be springing ahead 1 hour. For instance, On the second Sunday in March (This Sunday), clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes [...]

Some food items may be a little harder to justify traveling long distance to indulge on. There are only a few dishes I will travel for if I hear they are the best in the area. Rarely do I get very excited about going across town for a hamburger because there are so many mouthwatering [...]

Wine isn’t only fun with haute cuisine and fancily prepared dishes. Wine is as versatile as beer when it comes to pairing with what we think as quintessentially American food like burgers and fries, barbecue, and yes even chicken fried steak. One of my own personal food and wine pairing favorites is actually a great [...]

Today I was reflecting on food pictures from over the past few months… there are tons of them (about 10,000). Sometimes It trips me out when I look at all the food pictures I take for fun. I ran across these few pictures and thought to myself, man, “this is how I like my ground [...]

Baxter’s is a branch off the original Interurban Grill, but Owner Craig Baxter has made this restaurant his own personal creation in Downtown Tulsa. Interurban Restaurants began in 1976 when the Founders opened in Norman’s abandoned Interurban Trolley Station. Interurban is a casual and fun concept featuring a wide variety of menu items catering to [...]

With summer slowly beginning to fade I decided to join some friends up on Grand Lake. After spending the day relaxing on the waterfront, we went swimming and then went hiking down a spillway and then began to walk back through Disney, Oklahoma to the starting point of our trek. After all the activities of [...]

We, at Tulsa Food, love our burgers. We have made it our quest to find the absolute best burger in town. Last night we definitely found a new contender in the form of the new burger joint in the Hills Shopping Center, Smashburger. We had the privilege of attending Smashburger’s pre-opening run. Smashburger is a [...]

With two locations, one on Brookside and one in South Tulsa, The Brook Restaurant and Bar is in middle of all the action in Tulsa. A place known for its sports fanatic friendly atmosphere, The Brook highlights many of the athletic world’s top events such as the NFL Sunday Ticket and March Madness with specials [...]

I met up with a friend at his favorite burger joint Arnold’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers. It is definitely a dive with that greasy felling that you would expect at a hole in the wall burger joint. The food is so good though. I had a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a chocolate malt. The burger [...]

In need of a quick lunch my co-workers and I stopped in for a bite at Ty’s hamburgers. The place itself is nothing impressive with plain décor and the mom and pop feel to it. What was impressive was the line, 15 people deep at 11:15 on a Wednesday morning. The line moved pretty quickly [...]

On a short trip to Stillwater we decided to have dinner at Eskimo Joe’s. Everyone has seen their shirts in the mall, but not as many people have taken the short trip to Stillwater to eat at the restaurant. Located right off of OSU’s old campus, Eskimo Joe’s is still in their original building. Having [...]
