Hammett House, in Claremore, is one of those restaurants that is absolutely worth the drive out to Suburbia. The Hammett House has been a Claremore staple since 1969 and remains the ultimate restaurant in the area to get “Down-Home Cooking”. The Hammett House is one of those hidden gems in the Tulsa area that you [...]

It’s lunch time, and we are HUNGRY!!!! A trip to Bellacino’s sounds like the perfect fix for a hungry office. Four of us decided to go out to lunch to this Pizza/Grinder heaven on Riverside Drive. The place was packed and smells from the huge, open kitchen were drifting through the restaurant. I could hardly [...]

Vrrrooommm Vrrrooommm…Road Trip! After an afternoon drive to Oklahoma City and a visit to my Alma-mater, UCO, in Edmond, we decided to take an alternate route and head down Route 66 making our way back to Tulsa.  As we drove down this famous historic roadway, we recalled that this road was the main form of [...]

If you want to try something different, here’s a suggestion from a guy who works in the restaurant supply business, so I know restaurants intimately both front and back side. The Thai Garden Restaurant located just west of Elm on 71st in Broken Arrow,  has not only a very immaculate  kitchen, they also offer a [...]

We, at the Tulsa Food Blog, 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 [...]

On a cooler day last week I decided that it would be a perfect day to visit the Philbrook museum and the grounds.  We spent the morning enjoying the art as well as the amazing Philbrook mansion.  I had heard several good things about La Villa, the restaurant in the Philbrook, and so we decided [...]

If you are looking for a healthy alternative this summer consider throwing some shrimp on the grill. These shrimp were coated in Lowery’s Baja Chipotle sauce, grilled to perfection and then placed on this colorful salad. This is a delicious healthy meal that is still BOMB!

We went to Baja Jack’s Burrito Shack. I had the the quesadilla with guacamole and my husband had some kind of wrapped up chicken and a salad that didn’t look like a salad to me – beans and corn etc. Mine was delicious but I anticipated from years of experience that my husband would not [...]

With Mayfest finally here, we are super excited to try all the amazing foods that Mayfest has to offer. Here are just a few of the amazing food you can get at Mayfest: ’¢ Flowering Onion ’¢ Jalapeno sausage on a stick ’¢ Curly Fries ’¢ Rootbeer Floats ’¢ Grilled Cuban Sandwich ’¢ Jumbo Corn [...]

The first time I went to Andolini’s I was impressed by their menu and glad to have a specialty pizza place in nearby Owasso. Since then I have been back a few times and it seems as if the service there has steadily decreased. The food is still good though, they offer several appetizers like [...]

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 [...]

Before even setting foot into Lola’s, one can’t help but notice the unique logo, and the unique interior design is even more intriguing. The doors and windows are etched with a Dia de los Muertos (Mexican celebration to honor loved one’s passed away, translated in English to ’day of the dead’) skull sporting a decorated [...]

Get a burger, fries, and a beverage for 5 bucks at Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon from 11-4 on Saturdays!! Here is the link.

Diamond Jack’s has been serving Tulsa since 1965 and I am still surprised at the number of people who are not familiar with this fantastic sandwich spot. Due to the widening of I-44, they have moved from their longstanding spot along 51st southward to a cozy spot near 71st and Yale. They are tucked back [...]

After these comments were made on Tulsa Food Blog, I decided to try Haruno. It is a new Sushi place but also serves Korean food. According to Haruno’s website, it is a “Pan-Asia restaurant specializing in Japanese sushi and Korean cuisine.” The restaurant’s atmosphere had a fine dining feel and look without the formality or [...]

Upon the recommendation of my boss I decided to give Firehouse Subs a shot. I had never heard of it before and its nondescript location next to Gold’s gym had caused me to overlook it in the past. The whole place is decorated in firehouse theme. They give you the option of having your sub [...]

In such a busy part of town, Cosmos is still undiscovered by many who frequent the saturated chaos that is 71st and Memorial. Cosmos doesn’t do a lot of advertising; however they provide catering and do a lot of charity work which is very important to co-owner, Miranda Kaiser. Most of Cosmos popularity is likely [...]

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 [...]

It’s a casual Italian hot spot with all the usual’s one would expect to find, pizza, pasta, ravioli and lasagna. However Bellacino’s also offers 24 unique “grinders” which greatly contributes to the popularity of this establishment. Grinders are basically subs on steroids, they come in 9″ and 18″ and are sure to satisfy. The sandwich [...]

In the mood for a sandwich made with homemade bread I decided to give Great Harvest a shot. I had had some of their products in the past but I had never actually been in the store. The store is less of a restaurant and more of a bread store. They actually grind their own [...]

Please, please save your money and go somewhere else. I had one of the strangest dining experiences of my life at this dwindling place of business. To start off, the wait staff was exceptional, but weary of making any changes to the menu. They made us aware that they regularly get “in trouble” from management [...]

As the big game draws near, people seem to always be scrambling for last minute party ideas. Everyone is looking for something to do whether it is going out to dinner where you can watch the game or taking a dish to a friend’s house. Food has always been a huge portion of the celebration [...]
