Discover Santosha

Oklahoma has never really been known as a destination vacation in the United States because it doesn't have an oceanside beach or glorious mountains or many places. It's also not known for major events in history or many places to adventure and sight-see. Oklahoma may not seem like your typical vacation spot, but if you love road tripping and trying magnificent meals, then Oklahoma is the place to go. Oklahoma is known for its food and has many different restaurants throughout the entire state to prove it.

1. Blue Moon Cafe

In Ada, Oklahoma, there is a diner/cafe that looks like it's straight from the 1950's. The decor is full of Elvis Presley and Rock n' Roll. The food is all-American and definitely worth a trip to go back in time.

2. Abendigo's Grill

In Broken Bow, Oklahoma, there is a grill and patio restaurant that serves a southern cuisine filled with Cajun spices. At times, they have live singers while you enjoy the gorgeous outdoors and fulfilling steaks.

3. Cheever's Cafe

In uptown Oklahoma City, this cafe is known for its comfort foods and chicken fried steak.

It's also known for its decadent desert: Roasted Pecan Ice Cream Ball.

4. Cow Calf-Hay

In Edmond, Oklahoma, this restaurant is humorous through the names of their menu items, but it's definitely a well-needed hole-in-the-wall burger joint.

In Arcadia, Oklahoma, right off Route 66, there is a restaurant that has a 66-foot glowing soda pop bottle that's inviting and attracting to anyone near it.

There are over 700 different soda pop flavors.

10. Territory Cellars Steakhouse

In Stroud, Oklahoma, this steakhouse was originally made as a winery, but now it's found its new calling as a steakhouse. Their steaks are paired with the perfect wine, and their steakhouse is a classy high-end restaurant, perfect for a date night.

One of their most popular items is the Cedar Plank Salmon.

It's the typical Americanized Indian food.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, there's an amazing Kolache restaurant that's perfect for breakfast and as cute as can be.

Their Kolache's look delicious, but once they're gone, they're gone, so you better get there early!
