One of them is Campus Grill. Their always changing chalkboard seems to always have something exciting and garsh-darn good on it. [...]

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 [...]

Sit at the elegant wood-paneled bar at Fleming’s any night before seven and look out over a sea of diners eating delicious appetizers for which they’ll pay between $12.50 and $15 each. You, savvy customer, because you’re sitting at the bar and arrived before 7, are eating the exact same appetizers for six dollars a [...]

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could find a chain restaurant that wasn’t a chain? It would have the same kind of casual fun food as your average T.G.I. Friday’s but the menu wouldn’t be designed by a bunch of cost-cutters in suits sitting in a corner office in Chicago and the food wouldn’t be [...]

Kennedy, Katherine Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Elvis Presley, Eleanor Roosevelt, John Wayne, Mae West, all that gilded long-gone elite. Pretty Boy Floyd never stayed [...]

The colors are bright and inviting, and you are whisked away to enjoy an authentic Mexican meal. Owners Carlos and Elisha Atilano chose the Plaza del Sol Shopping Center at 101st and Mingo Road for [...]

Something interesting and unique has just hit the super-busy area around 71st and Memorial. Before we even walked into Baker St. Pub & Grill we were impressed. The outdoor patio is not what you would expect to find in this area of town. Super-nice patio furniture and a cool built-in fire-pit all in a nice [...]

Who would have known that this little treasure is located right outside of Wagoner, OK?  From the conscious effort of using only environmentally friendly products to the re-creation of an old horse barn, The Canebrake is really something special. As an Oklahoman, you should be proud too.  What is a canebrake you ask?  Well first off, canebrake [...]

Local Table is one of our favorites.  In our hearts, they are most famously known for their Sunday evening wine and appetizer specials.  We like to go in with friends and order wine and appetizers off of the bar menu.  The appetizers are a good size,  2 of them make a good meal.  Running at [...]

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 [...]
