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 [...]

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 [...]

Do you ever let your food take you on a journey? Maybe to another country, or to a different time period? This happens to me all the time. Sometimes food evokes memories with a special person or a fun moment with friends. It’s fun to imagine how chefs got their influence for a dish or [...]

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 [...]

My trip to Sproutz was nothing short of refreshing. A small, hole-in-the-wall deli at 26th & Harvard – be on the lookout, it’s easy to miss. Sproutz has built up quite a reputation for serving fresh, healthy, out of the box meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sandwiches, Wraps, Salads, and homemade dressings that will [...]

I miss the joy of New York Chinatown. I’d wander the streets and find a place that looks like a rundown soup shop with six tables … but the menu would have over two hundred items and there’d be elegant dining rooms concealed in back. Inside the soup shop part there’s be a bunch of [...]

Celebrate your week at Chicory & Chives Cafe on South Lewis with these Weekly Cajun Specials. Also, read this wonderful review by Brian on Chicory, Bigger, better than ever, open for breakfast lunch and dinner. (Full Review with Pictures) Monday Nite Bites (After 5pm) – Burger ‘N’ Fries……..4.99; “Bait Bucket” our appetizer bucket of blackened [...]

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 [...]

We just got word that The Canebrake Kitchen has made a few major menu revisions. These revisions are seasonal and happen at least four times a year. If you don’t know about The Canebrake check out their website here and a past review about an amazing lunch experience we had there, the lamb lollipops where [...]

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 [...]

How often do you eat a lip-smackingly delicious dinner and then, much later, realize that you’ve been tricked into eating a totally healthy meal, prepared with no fat whatsoever and more crunchy locally grown veggies than you normally eat in a week? Oh, once in a Blue Moon. Blue Moon certainly does not advertise themselves [...]

There’s something to be said about good quality food that is served up at a local establishment. There is even more to be said about a quality menu that changes every week. That’s exactly what you’re gonna find Tuesday-Saturday every week at The Boston Deli Grill & Market. Throughout owner Ken Shafer’s restaurant career he [...]

As Restaurant Week continues on, Tulsans everywhere become enlightened as they’ve been enjoying some of Tulsa’s finest dining establishments. Yesterday for lunch we decided to hit KEO. Have to admit, this isn’t the first time I’ve been there and since it is one of my favorite restaurants on Brookside I decided I couldn’t pass it [...]

It’s good to have a real Amish restaurant in Tulsa. Years ago in New York a guy from Turkey opened a store and called it Amish Grocery. Asked by a reporter why he chose that name, he replied “If I called it Turkish Grocery, who would come?” Amish deserve special respect in Tulsa. Their religion [...]

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. [...]

Last week my dad was in town so I wanted to treat him to one of Tulsa’s finest homemade meals. From my experience there are many exceptional homemade meals in Tulsa but this one had to be special and since we where craving breakfast at one in the afternoon Shiloh’s Restaurant, off the Broken Arrow [...]

Miranda Kaiser, owner of Cosmo Café and Bar, made a huge decision moving her restaurant from south Tulsa to Brookside a mere eight months ago. It was definitely the right move she said, because the restaurant is flourishing in its new location. I enjoyed lunch there last week and really didn’t want to leave. Cosmo [...]

Being a couple who live, work, and play typically in South Tulsa, it’s always a nice treat to find ourselves downtown for a meeting or event, especially during a mealtime. Typically, we endulge with an evening meal, but occasionally lunch offers new opportunities to try something in downtown. Due to it’s business nature, there is [...]

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 [...]

It was mid-week, and we were looking for a filling but reasonably priced lunch. A few miles away was Stadium Subs & Cream, and we have been hearing about this $5 Lunch Special. For $5 you can get any 6″ Sub, Choice of Chips or a Small Ice Cream and a 20 oz. Drink. Hard [...]

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 [...]
