Tulsa is filled with countless amazing places to grub. In my not-so-professional opinion, here are the top places to grab a bite to eat.
1. Señor Tequila
Also known as Senors, this spot is number one strictly because it is home of the best white queso in the world, and if you don’t believe me just try it. The food is amazing, the service is above excellent and the price is always extremely affordable.
2. In the Raw
To all you sushi lovers out there, ITR is a must. In the Raw, either on the hill at 71st or on Brookside is famous for their delicious and various sushi options and of course their ITR salad. Those of you who don’t like sushi, they have the best chicken fried rice in town!
3. Brookside By Day
This breakfast/brunch place is well known and well loved by most Tulsan’s. BBD is the perfect place for a breakfast date, or to meet up with your girlfriends. Make sure to get a side of their signature home fries.
4. McNellie's
Famous for their endless beer options (seriously, pages and pages of options) and their sweet potato fries. If you're a burger fan, be sure to go on a Wednesday night burger night! This pub has a full menu, excellent staff and altogether great environment.
5. Brownie's Hamburgers
This little burger joint takes you back in time with the classic diner feel. The prices are low and faces are friendly. Their burgers are too die for and so are their cheese fries. We can’t forget about the deliciously sweet root beer served in a frosty mug!
6. The Brook
With so many mouth-watering options, ordering at The Brook is probably one of the most difficult things to do. Ordering an appetizer is a no brainer, but which one is where things begin to get hard. Cheese fries or Nachos? You can’t go wrong with either!
7. Queenie’s Café & Bakery
Queens is loved by many for their famous grilled cheeses and is one of my personal favorite lunch spots! Located in Utica Square, Queenies is the perfect place to grab lunch after a long day of shopping.
8. The Rusty Crane
Whether you come for the tasty food or the drinks served in an adorable mason jar, The Rusty Crane makes for a perfect place to dine. With a rustic and down to earth vibe, this place is definitely one of my downtown Tulsa favorites!
9. El Gaupo's Cantina
This rooftop cantina is located in the heart of downtown Tulsa and offers its diners a beautiful view of the Blue Dome District. An order of chili con queso to start is absolutely necessary when dining here, and so is a basket of their delicious sopapias to finish!
10. Yokozuna
Yes, another sushi place, but definitely necessary to have on this list. Yokozuna has a huge menu filled with yummy sushi, but one specific roll, not on the menu, is my personal favorite. If you love spicy rolls, and you’re feeling risky- order the Geisha's demise. Also, if you’re looking to cut your check in half, go during happy hour- everyday from 3pm-6pm!
11. Osaka
For all you hibachi lovers, Osaka is the place to go! Not only are you paying for a filling and quality meal, you are also paying for quality entertainment from your chef. It's a great place to get dinner and entertainment all in one!
12. Dilly Diner
Without a doubt the best diner in Downtown Tulsa. With their savory chicken and waffles, famous Dilly burger and gravy smothered Chicken Fried Steak, Dilly Diner will always be my favorite place to go when i'm in the mood for some quality comfort food.
13. Mondo's Italian Restaurant
This place might arguably be the best Italian in town. Whether you get one of their woodfired pizzas, fresh Caprese salad, or their classic Spaghetti & meatballs, every bite will be worth savoring!
14. Cosmo Cafe
This little cafe keeps it fresh with their unique options. Although it does have some cafe classics like a ham & cheese or a grilled cheese served with soup- It's definitely not your typical cafe. They have everything from Greek bruschetta to a roast beef thia salad. Whether you're an adventurous eater or not, Cosmo cafe will have something delicious for you!
15. The Vault
Another wonderful option for a date night in
downtown Tulsa! The Vault offers high quality food and service for an
affordable price. Their menu is also vegetarian friendly!
