I’ve never much liked the term “comfort food” but if you had to use it just once in your life, you’d probably use it about the food at Nelson’s Ranch House. When Dorothy was lounging in the Wizard of Oz’s fancy palace and all she could think of was going home, it might have been [...]

Leave the glitzy hotels and glassy skyscrapers of downtown, cruise a few blocks down Archer — doing just what Bob Wills did in “Take Me Back to Tulsa” when he sang “let me off at Archer and I’ll walk down to Greenwood” — walk through the old wood door of Abears, and you’ll enter a [...]

Joe wrote an awesome review about our experience, make sure to check out his blog at http://www.joesburgersearch.com See the video on [...]

Treat yourself to a deep fried banana at the Tulsa State Fair this year. Check out this video of us trying out a deep fried banana at the Tulsa State Fair.  After trying a deep fried banana for the first time I have to say, it was really good. This banana has made my, “must [...]

Nachos, taquitos, deep-fried burritos, and other foods that are neat-o . At the Tulsa State Fair you can eat funnel cakes, corndogs big and small, deep fried Snickers Bars or Twinkies (hopefully) and so many other exotic fair foods that fulfill any foodie’s deep fried dreams. The Famous Tulsa State Fair is just around the [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again!  However we are not talking about Christmas, but rather the Tulsa State Fair!  The Fair, running from October 1 to October 11, is a smorgasbord of sights, smells, events and most importantly food!  This year is no different.  In the hundred years since the first Tulsa [...]

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 [...]

Who-oo..Who-oo..In case you don’t speak owl, that means exceptionally good! Spontaneous evenings are the best!  Both of us were tired and didn’t feel like cooking dinner.  We decided to drive down to The Full Moon restaurant on 15th street.  Thursdays they have $3 hamburgers!  You can’t beat that at a sit down restaurant!  When we [...]

I moved here in 2005 and have loved experiencing all the new foods, but oh how I have missed the soulful family cooking I grew up with in Tennessee. I’d never heard of Shiloh’s until I saw it on here and when I brought it up to others they were practically drooling over the name! [...]

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. Smashburger [...]

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 chips and one [...]

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 [...]

The beginning of summer is finally here and with that comes a lot of summer fun and festivals. This weekend, in particular, there are nine festivals going on in and around Tulsa that we know about. Our Tulsa Food Blog staff is going to try to make it to the following this weekend to enjoy [...]

Out for an afternoon drive, a friend and I stumbled across Freddie’s Hamburgers (not to be confused with the Freddie’s Frozen Custard chain). Freddie’s had been recommended from several different people on the Tulsa Food Blog and so we decided to stop in. The building is not much to look at but reminiscent of a [...]

This deep fried snack was inspired by the late night munchies. We deep fried Totino’s Pizza Rolls and homemade home fries. The deep fry increased the wonderfulness of the Pizza Rolls substantially, giving them a perfectly crunchy, buttery crust and delicious melty center. We then covered them in cheese and dipped them in Tapatio sauce [...]

There are only a few times a year that you can indulge in delicious fried foods with no remorse and Mayfest is one of those times. We had a chance to visit Mayfest today and here are just a few of the fabulous foods, most of which were on a stick, we had as we [...]

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 [...]

After hearing several people rave about The Great Wall, I had to give it a shot. The building itself is nothing special with a smell that is a little musty and in desperate need of a coat of paint. The staff was very nice and helpful though. For starters we ordered some of their homemade [...]

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 [...]

I met up with a friend at his favorite burger joint Arnold’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers. It is definitely a dive with that greasy felling that you would expect at a hole in the wall burger joint. The food is so good though. I had a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a chocolate malt. The burger [...]
