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, [...]

Piatto Cucina Italian Restaurant will be opening its doors Monday (March 1st)  for lunch!  Owners Marcia Harris and Angelo Amabile were gracious enough to invite us in for a “sneak-peek” and boy were we in for a surprise! Piatto is a celebration of tastes in Italian cuisine. The standard here is “to do as little [...]

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 [...]

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.

After overwhelming response to our Tulsa Food Poll, naturally we feel like we have to visit any unvisited pizza spots. At least 102 people have voted Uncle Vinny’s as the best/most popular pizza in Tulsa, so we thought we would check it out!  Uncle Vinny’s has 2 locations.  One is located on 71st and [...]

Sometimes just eating out for a special occasion isn’t good enough. I know I personally enjoy dinner and a show, or some type of 3-phase night that involves great food and entertainment. At Shogun, for a friends birthday we got our 3-phases all in one place. After a drink at the bar, [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

While I was out running errands with a friend the other day downtown, we decided to give the Mexicali Border Café a shot. I have driven past the one on the Southside nearly every day, but had yet to try it. So when I saw the other location, in the historic Brady district, [...]

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. [...]

With a unique approach to creating and presenting some of the most beautiful dishes in town, executive Chef Justin Thompson decided to create one of the specials that will be available during Restaurant Week. We also had the pleasure to speak with manager Mark Shefield at Sonoma Wine Bar and Bistro. Located in [...]

What a good kept secret! Some may not take the time to drive to Sapulpa if they originate in Tulsa, but I’m telling you, Avalon Steakhouse is well worth the drive! This is by far the best Steakhouse I have ever eaten at, and the service is outstanding! A wonderful place to [...]

Sadly, according to the USDA, “Oklahoma is the eighth hungriest state in the nation and number seven in food insecurity, which means that the food intake of some household members is reduced and normal [...]

Kids are in school, the weather is finally becoming comfortable again and the aisles of stores are crammed with folders and pencils with Disney characters on them; This can mean only one thing: Fall is on its way!
Leaving summer behind and looking forward to the autumn to come there are many events in Tulsa that [...]

In the mood for some really good salmon a friend and I decided after much deliberation to try Bone Fish Grill. I had never been there before but I had heard some amazing things from some very reliable sources.
Though we briefly looked at the menu, once our waitress told us about their two for [...]

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. [...]

Out to lunch for business, my coworker and I stopped by Fat Daddy’s Pub. He had been wanting to try it for years, yet for whatever reason had never managed to drop by. We showed up on a Tuesday which happened to be Cheap Taco Day. My coworker ordered the fish and [...]

The Brook Restaurant and Grill Loaded Cheese Fries, more like Brook loaded mountain of fries, Cheese, Bacon and Jalapenos, mmhmmm. One order of these will set you up for the next 2 meals if not more (see the link below to our leftover video). The Brook Restaurant is a great place that you can always [...]

Every once in awhile you stumble upon a restaurant that completely opens an entire new door for you, when you least expect it. White Lion did that for me.
A friend of mine had been talking about wanting to try the fish and chips at White Lion for months, so one Friday night we decided [...]

I love time spent outside barbecuing by the pool in the summer. The key to having an amazing barbecue is to have some truly great cuts of meat. Siegi’s Meat Market is a wonderful place to pick up fine pieces of meat. They have a wide variety of steaks, sausages and sauces. [...]
