Tulsa Food

I love downtown, but I hardly ever get down there. Sometimes, its just too inconvenient. I recently heard from a bird that The Hunt Club has been opening for lunch past couple months. So, I decided to check it out while I just conveniently happened to already be downtown. A quaint and cool little place [...]

Established almost a year ago, the new south location is nice little getaway from midtown and downtown areas. Sometimes those other places are too stuffed, packed, cramped, etc. They get you in and get you out. A systematic routine of hording the hungry zombies. Not Cardigans. So, when mom called and said, “Lets do lunch!”, [...]

A Tulsa dining institution since 1956, Brownie’s Hamburger Stand still has that 50′s feel. Coupled with raved about homemade root beer and homemade pies, Brownie’s provides a burger experience with a cult following. Joe Price of JoesBurgerSearch.com says that, “Brownie’s is as pure of a burger joint as there ever has been.” Checkout this blog [...]

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 [...]

Located on main street in downtown Broken Arrow, Main Street Tavern sits on a busy corner inviting patrons in for a relaxing break. The restaurant/bar is a new fixture to the area, but feels like it has been there for decades. The owners, Jason and Kat Scarpa planned it that way. They renovated the 1904 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If you’re an East Coast transplant homesick for New York and you can’t afford the price of a plane ticket home, just get yourself to the corner of Brady and Main. You’ll find a row of old brick houses that could have been moved brick by brick from the city where walking is a pastime [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Not only am I following Joe of joesburgersearch.com on Facebook and Twitter but about every week I find myself following an instinctual craving from deep within my belly’s brain that takes me to one of those awesome burger places Joe talks about on his website. Yesterday my friend Mark Stenner (Mark if you read this [...]

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 [...]

I had a great lunch with my buddy Ryan yesterday. Whenever Ryan and I go out to lunch we always like to grab a good burger and naturally, he leaves it up to me to find the best spots in Tulsa for us to meet. Since yesterday was a Monday, Hanks, Claud’s and many of [...]

Weber’s and Claud’s have been operating in Tulsa’s Brookside within a stones throw of each other for over 40 plus years (Weber’s 1933 & Claud’s 1965).  On this day several burger lovers were asking “Who is the king of Brookside burgers?” To read the full article by Joe about what went down visit here -> [...]

Chicory & Chives is a casual-style diner with tables, booths and metal coat racks still attached to the booths. They offer a daily lunch buffet and nice fresh salad bar.  Some of their main entrees are Meatloaf on Mondays, Smoked Pork Chops on Tuesdays, Chicken on Wednesday (we prepare it different ways), Thursday is Chicken [...]

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 [...]

This week I had a chance to meet up with Joe from Joes Burger Search again. This time we hit up Lucky’s Restaurant on Cherry street for a few gourmet Cheeseburgers. These burgers are not your normal cheeseburger. I would say they are some of the best in Tulsa, and for being offered at a [...]
