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. [...]

El Rio Verde is one of those places that seems like it’s been there forever. I don’t remember how I first discovered it. I used to wander quite a bit around that part of the Northside, so I might have come across it in one of my explorations. But its location is so obscure and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Cinco De Mayo is here (Tomorrow, May 5th) and we want to help you participate by either partying hard or visiting one of Tulsa’s many Mexican restaurants. When it comes to Mexican food, Tulsa definitely has a long list of establishments that will feed anyone’s perception of good Mexican food. Check out the list below [...]

Today for once I was in the mood for a chicken sandwich, but I couldn’t just have any chicken sandwich…I had to have something unique. I knew I was going to be cooking up some burgers on the Barby tonight, so I wanted to balance out my day with a little white meat for lunch. [...]

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 [...]

“I am now addicted to this fried chicken!” Brian said. At least I think that’s what he said. My mind was elsewhere, totally concentrated on trying to snag an extra pork chop without Brian noticing. No, I wasn’t talking to myself. I was eating lunch with Brian McCullough. He owns this website. And he’s a [...]

Its a cold gloomy spring day which means one thing for me when deciding what to eat for lunch… comfort food.May people have their own ideas about what comfort food is but to for me its whatver my mom cooked for me when I was little that conjured up feelings of love and security. I [...]

I was very excited to try Nibbles Cafe on Memorial. I have heard good things about their cakes, especially wedding cakes. It was mid-week, and my friend and I wanted to meet up for lunch. When it is a “girlfriend lunch”, I enjoy going to cute place with a lot of personality and good food. [...]

There has been some news floating around in a local daily newspaper stating that Fire Rock Grill at 71st & Memorial was closed.  We just got back from lunch at Fire Rock and let me tell you that it was delicious and certainly not closed.  If you read anything stating that Fire Rock is closed, [...]

Valentine’s Day is a special time to really show what you are made of to your spouse. This year we are really challenging you to go above and beyond to express one thing…that’s Love. We know that Tulsa isn’t the city of love, however, there are many locally owned romantic restaurants that are sure to [...]

Check out this delicious lunch special from Chicory & Chives. This is Cajun grilled shrimp with cheese grits. The shrimp is spicy and tender and the cheese grits are definitely more sophisticated than they seem. Loaded with flavor (and bacon), they are so light and fluffy. The sausage was an unexpected extra and was not [...]

I first fell in love with Lucky’s ten years before it opened. Appropriately enough, it was on Valentine’s Day. My mom had been sick, but she rallied, and I wanted to take her to dinner. The only place that wasn’t fully booked was a restaurant I’d never heard of. Grille 51, in a building at [...]

A few months ago I had lunch at Keo. It’s well worth the trip. The space is sleek and airy, with 15 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Upscale decor (and good service) with downscale prices. Most entrees are $9. The chef was born in Cambodia (though she grew up in Oklahoma) and most [...]

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 [...]

The first time I heard about Dragon Moon Tea Company was in a tweet from the mayor of Tulsa herself, Kathy Taylor. She mentioned she’d eaten there for lunch that day, and I was surprised. Lunch at a tea company? Dragon Moon sounded more like a fancy name for another Oz competitor to me. Last [...]

“Oklahoma’s Best Gyros”…it could be right. We were out and about the other day and drove past Ali Baba. Noticing the sign that said “Oklahoma’s Best Gyros”, we decided to try them. After speaking with the owner, she let us know that they definitely have the best. She also recommended that we try the hummus. [...]

With Oktoberfest and Halloween with the kids coming up, this might be the last weekend to get a nice romantic dinner in. Brian and I had the chance to visit Bodean Seafood Restaurant and Fish Market. Wow. I cannot believe this beautiful gem is tucked away in South Tulsa. This is definitely a fine-dining restaurant [...]

I have been dreaming about this burger since I left! Talk about an awesome time and an incredible burger! Check out this video from one of Tulsa’s best burger places: Claud’s Hamburgers on Peoria. Joe wrote an awesome review about our experience, make sure to check out his blog at http://www.joesburgersearch.com See the video on [...]
