Oklahoma City is known for being frontier country, and nowhere is that more evident than in the cuisine. This theme is interpreted in two ways: literally and metaphorically. The city is booming with steakhouses and eateries that specialize in hearty American staples—quite literally those bounties that are cultivated on the plains. But there is also a pioneer spirit found here. Food is seen as an exploration, an adventure. A hunger for any taste can be sated, every culinary niche is represented and even trendy fusion joints are making an appearance. Don't overlook the famous breweries and wine bars, as Oklahoma City takes its beverages very seriously. Get ready to feast your senses on tasty meals served up with a generous dash of local hospitality!

Downtown Bricktown

The Bricktown revitalization campaign has been instrumental in bringing new dining establishments to the area, making it the city's culinary melting pot. One of its original residents was Spaghetti Warehouse, which remains popular for the huge plates of Italian standards it serves up. The consensus party spot is the Bricktown Brewery, where a varied menu of American favorites is complemented by live music, pool and games, and a wide selection of hand-crafted beers. For upscale regional fare, try Chelino's Mexican Restaurant, Pearl's Crabtown or Windy City Chicago Bistro. Diners can watch the RedHawks play while eating at Coach's, whose patio area overlooks the new ballpark. Wraps and health food are the order of the day at the Grateful Bean Cafe, but feel free to indulge in one of their old-fashioned ice cream sundaes, too. For Asian cuisine enthusiasts, Bricktown holds Sushi Neko and the Thai Kitchen Cafe. Finally, for those with a love of dining al fresco, try taking a meal on a water taxi as it floats down the Bricktown Canal, providing guests with a perfect tour of the heart of downtown.

Stockyard City

The area that is a throwback to Oklahoma City's frontier days doesn't hold too many restaurants, but what it lacks in numbers, it more than makes up for in taste. Cattlemen's Steakhouse is the last word in fine country dining. Even the house salad dressing is famous! In operation since nearly the turn of the century, Cattlemen's has seen and served cattle barons, millionaire oil men and modern captains of industry. Staying true to its rich history, the menu is pure Oklahoma, dominated by thick steaks and other red-meat specialties, cholesterol be damned!

The Paseo

As Oklahoma City's artists' colony, the Paseo holds dining establishments that share the same smart, chic flavor. The area's signature spot is Galileo's Bar and Grill, a cozy place where the hip crowd comes to snack on Mediterranean delights. This spirit permeates further north along Western Avenue. VZD's, a drugstore turned restaurant and club, has become the forum for hot new musical acts in Oklahoma City. The menu is diverse, with bar food favorites alongside red beans and rice and an array of deli sandwiches. TerraLuna Grille is the place for a strictly California-inspired menu, featuring seafood and vegetarian items. Western is also home to the city's own "Restaurant Row." The Coach House is home to renowned chef Kurt Fleischfresser, who is constantly reinventing the menu at this modern, yet classic eatery. Fine steak cuts and fresh seafood are the order of the day at the Deep Fork Grill. For a more refined approach to barbecue, stop in to Earl's Rib Palace. The Iguana Lounge is Mexican like you've never seen, with a funky decor characterized by its leopard-print booths. Inside the Iguana Lounge is Mango, which experiments with a tropical fusion style of cuisine. Lastly, The Metro offers diners exquisite American bistro dishes, along with a wide variety of fine wines.

Northwest, Nichols Hills and The Village

The northwest side of town, including Nichols Hills and the Village, has a diverse and celebrated list of restaurants. Perhaps most beloved is Ted's Cafe Escondito, a Mexican spot packed with patrons night in and night out. Another restaurant with a loyal clientele is Ann's Chicken Fry. Located on Route 66, its vintage decor and signature chicken-fried steak dinner charm and delight. This area is also where enclaves of global cuisines can be found, like Canterbury British Imports and Cafe, Keller in the Kastle German Restaurant, La Baguette Bistro, Shogun's and the Samurai Japanese Saki House, along with Ajanta's and Gopuram's Indian fare. Catfish Cabin has been a local favorite for seafood for 25 years, but also mixes its menu with barbecue and Mexican dishes. Trapper's Fishcamp and Grill is Southern spectacular, complete with Cajun seafood, steaks and a gumbo that will knock your socks off! A popular regional chain, Jason's Deli, serves up health-conscious soups and sandwiches in a comfortably casual environment. In contrast, Nikz at the Top serves delectable dishes, but its real draw is a romantic atmosphere and the distinction of being the city's only revolving restaurant. Set in a rustic wooden building, Pioneer Pies has a lunch and dinner menu, but its rich pies and desserts are the real stars.

Northeast

Just like the northeast district in which they are located, where the State Capitol and some of the city's most famous attractions reside, the restaurants found here are known far and wide. A speakeasy during the Prohibition era, the County Line is now the place to come in order to satisfy a different craving, namely that for great barbecue with all the fixings. Sleepy Hollow is another perennial favorite, with dishes like pan-fried chicken, steak and fish. Set in a secluded wooded area, a meal at this restaurant is the ultimate intimate dining experience. Italian specialties made according to family recipes are served at Papa's Li'l Italy. For lunch or dinner, you can enjoy their original soup, pasta dishes and sandwiches. Want a hearty meal served up fast? RJ's Cafe is the place for you. Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you are sure to find a hot and tasty American feast.

Edmond, a small suburb just minutes north of the city, is teeming with elegant establishments that cater to a sophisticated, adult crowd. Boulevard Steakhouse, with its warm decor, surf and turf menu and comprehensive wine list, is a favorite of local businesspeople. An even more exclusive experience can be found at the Vineyard. An intimate ambiance and gourmet dishes make this a hot spot for the well to do. For the same caliber cuisine in a more casual environment, try Bellini's Ristorante. The specialty is Italian, but beef and chicken items are available, as well as lighter seafood and salad choices. Cafe 501 prides itself on its friendly, stay-all-day atmosphere as much as for its unique sandwiches, oven-baked pizzas and delectable desserts.

Southside

The Southside's most frequented establishment is Applewood's Restaurant. Known for its meals like pot roast, cider-baked pork chops and seafood specialties, Applewood's can accommodate an individual or small dinner party all the way up to a 500-person banquet. Whatever entree you choose, be sure to leave room for their famous apple dumplings. For spicier fare, check out Tacos San Pedro, a small restaurant specializing in authentic Mexican food. Be warned, this place is not your typical Tex-Mex! Sub Way Deli & Grill—not to be confused with the Subway chain, this is Oklahoma's original deli—is where you'll find only the finest sandwiches and burgers, served with your choice of a soda or beer.

Historic Route 66 Towns

In addition to numerous family-owned cafes in Bethany, there is one dining experience that must not go without mention. The Wilds Restaurant and Nature Park, located on Route 66, just west of Yukon, brings the frontier right to your table. Home-style country meals can be eaten picnic-style outside on the grounds or in the cedar lodge banquet room overlooking the lake. The western theme is evident in dishes like the breaded catfish and lots of barbecued meats. This place is perfect for the whole family.

You would not know it to look at it, but since 1976 this very unassuming restaurant has been serving some of the best catfish in Oklahoma City. Get the buffet so you can sample the fried catfish and the broiled catfish, as well as the shrimp, chicken and barbecue dishes. Many of the clientele have been dining here since they opened 26 years ago, and this is a local favorite.

Founded in 1910, this is the oldest restaurant in Oklahoma, made famous when then-President George Bush ate here in 1992.

The atmosphere in this two-story restaurant, located right on the Bricktown Canal, is festive and loud. This restaurant is popular with locals and tourists alike, especially since it is the only restaurant with dining overlooking the canal on a patio and upper balcony. The clientele tends to be young, often college-aged, but children are always welcome here. It is a little mild for Mexican food, so be sure to ask for hot sauce with your meal.

At this casual sports bar inside the Bricktown Ballpark you can watch the game and enjoy wonderful barbecue, burgers and other menu items at the same time. For the best tables during the Redhawks games, you need to reserve and buy a table for the night. At $30, though, that's not a bad deal. Coach's is known for its barbecue; be sure to try the brisket. Then wash it all down with keg beer or a drink from the full bar.

Built in the 1940s, this restaurant makes you feel like you have stepped back in time when you walk through the doors.

Downtown/Bricktown


Oklahoma City
United States
Today, after a multi-year revitalization campaign, downtown OKC--dubbed "Bricktown" for its old-fashioned brick streets--has truly regained its status as the city's premier dining and entertainment district. Stepping off the Oklahoma Spirit trolley, visitors find themselves in an urban hub brimming with good eats and a wealth of diversions. Refined cultural pursuits like the distinguished Ballet Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Philharmonic at the Civic Center Music Hall exist alongside those aimed at a sportsman's heart such as Wranglers arena football at the Myriad Convention Center and RedHawk baseball at the new Bricktown Ballpark. Those who come downtown soon find that having fun is a full-time pursuit. Board a Water Taxi and float down the Bricktown Canal, which runs throughout the district, enter a tropical wonderland in the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge, or join the festivities.

This is one of the hippest places to eat in the Nichols Hills area; so if you go at lunchtime, either get there early or expect to wait awhile. The restaurant is chic, trendy and nostalgic with hubcaps and Elvis memorabilia on the walls. Try the popular Smokestack, with chopped beef, a hot link and coleslaw all on a sandwich. The half-pound burgers are almost as popular as the barbecue. There is a large selection of barbecued meats, including ribs, brisket, hot links and more. The half-pound burgers are excellent.

This stone castle looks foreboding as you approach. Inside, however, the friendliest German hosts will make you feel right at home. The decor is just what you would expect in a German castle. The interior has lots of stonework and exposed woodwork. Try the Spiesbrated ($16.95), a pork loin roast stuffed with onions and spices and then slowly smoked. The Jaeger Schnitzel ($17.95/$15.95) is breaded veal or pork, pan-fried, covered with a rich onion, mushroom and pepper sauce. The Paprika Haehnchen ($12.95) is a marinated boneless chicken breast with a paprika sauce and German noodles.

Nichols Hills and the Village


Oklahoma City

For the finest shopping experience, head to the twin communities of Nichols Hills and the Village, which hold a multitude of upscale boutiques and luxury services. Outlets like Penn Square Mall and Penn Place carry only the most ultra-chic goods. This is the place to be seen and definitely the most exclusive area in the city. The larger northwest district centers largely on one major thoroughfare: the Northwest Expressway. Not really a "neighborhood" per se, the street is synonymous with the district, as it cuts through the entire northwest side of the city and is home to many of OKC's dining and shopping treasures. Aside from Bricktown, no other area of the city compares in the concentration of commerce. The area also holds entertainment attractions like the Oklahoma City Art Museum and State Fair Park, as well as outdoor retreats like Hefner Lake, Martin Park Nature Center and Will Rogers Park.

Stockyard City


Oklahoma City
United States
If Bricktown is the city's modern nucleus, then Stockyard City, adjacent to downtown, is the neighborhood of living Oklahoma history. Its main attraction is the National Stockyard Exchange, where cattle auctions are held every Monday and Tuesday. A trip here is not complete without taking a meal at Cattlemen's Steakhouse. The 90-year-old restaurant continues to be a symbol of the old cattle baron lifestyle and serves some of the most mouth-watering steaks in the city. At every turn, visitors are reminded of the way of life in frontier times. Stores like Langston's, Shepler's and Tener's can outfit you in authentic Western duds and performers at the Oklahoma Opry will serenade you with sweet country melodies. Don't pass up an opportunity to journey into this cowboy country.

The Japanese décor at this trendy Nichols Hills spot is worth the visit, with its simplistic design in the restaurant and bar. Not necessarily comfortable, but definitely authentic. Select from a great variety of Japanese foods, including very fresh rolled sushi. The Teriyaki chicken, beef and salmon dishes are served with a side of Japanese potato salad, and the steaks come with the special Neko cream sauce.

If you like contemporary cuisine, try this very trendy Nichols Hills restaurant. The chef is very daring, as you can see from the menu. Try the Ancho Chile-Crusted Black Angus Sirloin. This grilled sirloin is served with roasted garlic polenta, sauteed shiitake mushrooms and red onions topped with an Ancho red wine sauce. One of the most popular items is the Roast Half Chicken, a half chicken, marinated in balsamic-black pepper vinaigrette, pan seared, then roasted. The Tortilla Crusted Shrimp is actually shrimp that is covered with broken tortilla chips and baked.

Trapper's Fishcamp & Grill

You will feel like you have just finished a day of fishing on the bayou when you step into this lodge-like restaurant. The bar is such a fun place, with the zydeco and Cajun music playing in the background, you might not want to go to your table. Stay or go, the menu is so unusual you will not want to miss it. Try alligator meat (blackened or fried) as an appetizer for $7.99. Then move on to the very popular Trapper Snapper for $14.99. The patrons are often businesspeople staying at nearby hotels. The varied menu offers seafood, steak, chicken, pasta, prime rib and salads. The full bar offers a specialty drink of the house called a Rainbow Trout. A frozen concoction of different fruit juices and liquor, it is delicious and dangerous at the same time.

Looking for great food and live music? Go no further. This hot spot has been offering both since 1976. It does not have music every night, so call ahead, but it gets some great acts like Red Hot Chili Peppers. Enjoy a sandwich or salad, or just munch of some of the appetizers. This trendy Nichols Hills restaurant and bar is perfect for dinner or a fun night out. Expect a cover charge if there is entertainment. Enjoy Happy Hour from 4pm-7pm Monday through Friday with domestic longnecks for $1.50 and a free buffet.
