Where can I find the best barbecue in Oklahoma?
The Sooner State is certainly known across the country for its incredible BBQ so it’s quite easy to find a good place to have some. The unassuming Monty’s BBQ and Chicken in Tulsa is a hidden gem serving up some juicy bbq and chicken as well. With both good food and friendly service, Monty’s is the place to visit. In Oklahoma City, Clark Crew BBQ serves its award-winning bbq to patrons who flock from all over to try it. They also have a smokehouse with large windows so you can watch them at work.
What are the most iconic restaurants in Oklahoma?
Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in Oklahoma City has been around for over 100 years. This iconic historic restaurant has award-winning steaks that are aged to perfection. And there’s not just steak on the menu - there's plenty of other dishes like grilled shrimp and catfish for dinner, and a variety of options for both breakfast and lunch. This restaurant should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list. Another restaurant that is a must-visit in Oklahoma City is Cheever’s Cafe. This iconic eatery serves contemporary comfort food in a historic building that once housed a flower shop. Although the food here is absolutely divine, their desserts are worth saving room for. Try a Roasted Pecan Ice Cream Ball for something you can’t find anywhere else.
Where can I get home-cooked food in Oklahoma?
Aside from the mom and pop restaurants mentioned above, there are many other places that serve delicious home-cooked meals. One such place is Good Little Eater in Stillwater, an unassuming place that has a varied menu with Indian, Italian, Mexican, and Asian cuisine as well as American. With such a wide array of choices, there is something for everyone.
