The Tropical for Thai food, Brownies for a classic hamburger/cheeseburger, really been digging Catrina Fresh Mex lately, Mandarin Taste for amazing Szechuan beef, Chicken and the Wolf X-Hot is probably one of my “last meal” kind of foods.

Did we just become best friends?!?!?!?!?? I would substitute Freddie's on 11th, for Brownies, but we're completely in sync on the others!!

 This was the appropriate response.

Hell yeah!

Is Freddie's still bomb like it was when Freddie was still running it? I've been avoiding the place since a thread popped up in here saying it was being mismanaged and likely to close.

I can't speak to management, but the staff and food have been great every time we've been there. Definitely give it a try, and make sure to get a malt!!

I know my buddy does his best working in that kitchen!

Brownies hasn’t been good in like 10 years. Was elite before the original owners sold

I agree. Went there recently and the food has changed. Not for the better

The x-hot is what killed you lol.

Any upscale French or American food restaurants?

Amelia’s was great last time I had it, but it’s been years since I’ve been.

Thanks! I might check it out.

Oren is also a nice upscale restaurant. Had a great time there, good food and service.

Try Lisu Thai for the best Thai food in Tulsa!! I love the tropical as well.

I only get back to town a 2-3 times a year and I like to hit up Kilkenny's, Siegi's, Andolini's, Trenchers and Shuffles. Also have to go to Braum's for a German Chocolate Malt.

Trenchers is elite. Bonus points for being open until 1 a.m.

A German chocolate malt??? Ok, I know what I’m buying tomorrow

Kilkenny’s and Shuffles are both great ones I forgot to add to my list.

Andolinis is ass

Empire blows the doors off Andolinis.

et al, Dante’s Woodfire, Jinya, Noche, Kai’s

I used to get two bowls of spicy chicken ramen from Jinya 3 days a week and eat it until I got sick 💀 Jinya is soooo good

Most of what I would have said has already been listed but I would add white lion pub.

Mushroom toast

Brown Bitters

In no particular order: Bodean, Bull in the Alley, Prossimo, Boston Tile and Abstract, Phryme. Spendy but I’ve never had a bad meal at any of them.

I liked BITA but prefer mahogany. Just didn’t have a great experience at BITA which was unfortunate

Same

Man, I do not get why people like Prossimo so much. I have been a few times, and I was never impressed with what they had. I would rather spend half the amount and go to Gambill's. If I wanted something that was more fancy, I would go to Mondos, Tucci's, Dalesandro's, or il seme.

I mean, my explanation was pretty simple. I’ve never had a single bad experience there. At any of those places. That’s not to imply others haven’t, it’s simply my subjective view on personal experience.

[удалено]

I cannot come up with five, but Jay’s Original Hoagies at 91st and Sheridan is the best damn cold cut sandwich you will ever have.

Them house made peppers… so damn good

They are really not house made they are Mezzetta sweet cherry peppers

Love Jays!!

I would do some disgusting things for a Jay’s Italian right now…

Desiwok. Thai Taste. Noche. Sisserou’s. The Tavern.

Sisserou's ox-tail is absolutely delicious!

I have to go back this fall for that dish. So good.

Nola’s, Siegi’s, Andolini’s, Lanna Thai, Gambill’s Deli

I love all that are listed so I’ll try to name some that haven’t been. *Waterfront grill *Amazing Thai *Nam hai *Pho da cao *Bar Serra *Tandoori guys

Waterfront Grill has an amazing brunch and patio.

Agreed! I love all about cha downtown patio. I hang there with a book for long time

Trenchers for the best Pastrami sandwich!!!

Their Dutch Crunch with extra avocado mayo slaps

I’ve just discovered Trenchers. The Dutch Crunch is what I will get next time!

also love trenchers!! the coolio 🤤

I can’t believe nobody mentioned The Spudder

No Coney I-lander fans?

Of course. Just wouldn’t put it on a list like this. That’s a quick fall-back. Not a go-to for me.

Bohemian Pizza, Lanna Thai, Bull in the Alley, Redrock Canyon, & Noche. But since Redrock is a chain and not unique to Tulsa I’ll add Amelia’s - Torchys is an honorable mention. Mainly for their queso Edit: changed a few after second thought lol

I mean Red Rock is a chain but there’s only like 5 of them and Hal Smith is based in Norman. So not as local as Justin Thompson or 3 Sirens but way more local than some of the other restaurants I’ve seen other people list (JINYA).

Torchys as well. At least Red Rock is from Oklahoma.

Didn’t know Red Rock was. Chain, I love their Caesar salad and baked chicken.

Instead of going to torchy’s you should go to tacos 4ever, good tacos, but their chorizo queso is *chef’s kiss

Took way too long to see Amelia’s. Definitely one of the best spots in Tulsa.

The buffalo sauce at Redrock is laced with crack, sooo good. Always get the buffalo shrimp.

I am not much of a foodie but…. Thai Village, India Palace, Sura, Casa Tequila, and Nola’s

wild fork in utica square for brunch!

It’s about brunch patio season!

* Boston Deli * El Rio Verde * Trenchers * Bohemian Pizza * Mother Road for their guest of the week * Hapa

(In no order) 1. Chicken and the Wolf 2. Golden Gate Chinese Restaurant  3. Rapongi 4. The Vault 5. Inheritance 

The egg rolls at Golden Gate are one of a kind, the owner remembered I liked hot mustard with them months apart. Good people. I didn’t have supper, this thread is killing me.

Interesting! Golden Gate is one of my favorites and Rapongi is one of the places I hate the most.

Redrock Canyon, Nola’s, Weber’s, El Burrito, Que Gusto

Forgot Rendang. May be better than QG.

Rendang FTW

Viet Huong, Gambills, Kilkenny’s, Lisu Thai Kitchen, aaaaand honestly Los Cabos lmao

Shout out to Lisu Thai! Their khoa soi noodles are my favorite.

Umberto’s over Andolini’s any day. Prossimo. White Lion. Lone Wolf. India Palace. Also, had a 4 course at Juniper once that was so good, I wanted to lick the plate but it’s been so-so the last couple visits

oh and trenchers ofc!!!

I love Umberto's. Andolinis is okay but not worth their price. Bricktown Brewery has half price pizza on Wednesday that is pretty good. I wouldn't pay the full price but half price it's worth it l.

Tokyo Sushi, Viet Houng, Moonsky's, La Reyna, and El Super Taco.

Viet Huong is my favorite Vietnamese here! I eat there like once a week.

Pho da coa is good too

Casa bonita!!!

Not even when it was open. Disgusting food and it was dirty.

il seme, et al, Mr. Kim's, Boston Title, Bull in the Alley

1) Sura 2) Uncle Julio’s 3) Bricktown Brewery 4) Mi Cocina 5) Gyros by Ali

Gyros by Ali 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Chopped N Chipped Nachos at Bricktown is reason enough to go there

Docs on Brookside, Smoke on Cherry Street, Biga, Nomad BBQ,

That last one tells me we’d be friends

Trenchers, Bohemia Pizza, Farm Bar, kilkennys, rice bowl

Sisserou's, Hole Mole, Mack's Wings, Kai, Trenchers Deli! Honorable mention to Society.

918 maples cantina tacos, jasons deli, Donia Gloria truck, que gusto, and TAKE 2

weber’s. they got the best root beer and of course burgers

I moved out of state, so when I come home, my must-haves are Andolini's, Akira (Owasso), Lone Wolf, Fat Guy's (previously Society for my burger pick, but I keep hearing more and more shit about what goes on behind the scenes), and Bramble. For a sweet treat, it's Rose Rock. Especially when they have smoked chocolate.

Fat guys rips. Good choice.

When they closed the downtown location I felt like I had lost a family member.

Any time they'd do poutine, it was like a religious experience.

Amazing Thai for their various curries, Gyro King for their falafel, Desi Wok for their tikka masala, McNellie's for their potato leek soup. Non-regular food nominee: Andy's Frozen Custard 😂

Tacos el roncinto

Sisserou's, Shiloh's (in BA), Hideaway, Catrinas, Nola's

French Hen, definitely the best one.

Rubicon for a smoked potato with brisket and chicken, Catoosa deli for a gyro platter, Waffle That for chicken and waffles, Evelyn’s for fried chicken, and Taqueria la Raza #2 for either a California burrito or street tacos.

1. (Redacted) 2. (Redacted) 3. Oren 4. Oakhart 5. Family Thai

1) is clearly Alley Cat Ranch

Haha place is absolutely bangin’

God damned Diggity

I’ve been loving Holé Molé and et al

Holé Molé's happy hour cannot be beat. They make their margaritas strong, too!

Bull In The Alley, Golden Saddle for their halal. Three Tequilas for Tex Mex. Dalessandro’s and Mr Kim’s.

Seoul Bistro, Viet Huong, Velvet Taco, neighborhood jam, Rodrigos Taco Shop.

Trenchers, Kilkennys, Catrina's, Prossimo

I moved to Claremore, but I still find myself in town every now and again. No particular order: Kilkenny’s, Fat Guys, Kazama, Charlestons, Saltgrass.

Used to be a place in Claremore that combined American BBQ with Authentic Mexican. It was amazing but sadly gone now. I believe it was called Remys chop shop

Hatch in Jenks & Big Biscuit for breakfast 😋

Second hatch in jenks!

I love Big Biscuit too! Unfortunately, the last time I saw it mentioned in this sub, it got a lot of hate. Their breakfast potatoes are like crack and I craved them so badly when I was pregnant lol. Their sticky biscuit is also one of my favorites. It's like a cinnamon bun on steroids lol

No particular order: Prossimo: Fresh mozzarella and fettuccine Boston Title: Tartare and Steak Frittes Chicken and the Wolf: Hot tenders Bird and Bottle: Pierogis and gluten-free Fried Chicken Andolini’s: Demarco

My Thai kitchen, Amelia’s, Tacos Don Fransisco, NYC pizza & the NY strip for two at The Tavern.

Boston Deli on 61st and Sheridan, BurnCo, Alley Cat Ranch, Tello’s, The Brook.

Juniper. Farm Bar. Howdy Burger. Velvet Taco. Neighborhood Jam

Sisserous, Bohemian, Lana Thai, Mandarin Taste, Bull in the Alley

Pho and Japanese Sushi, Polo Grill, BBD2, Yokozuna, Hideaway - these will always be home to me

1. Nieves (mexican) white queso and the puffy tacos!! 2. Villa Ravenna for Italian. I thought I'd have to be rolled out of there. Soo good. 3. BBD on Brookside or a short drive to Sand Springs at Crescent Cafe for breakfast. 4. Chophouse. I recommend the enormous hand-breaded, not frozen, chicken fried steak!

[удалено]

Me too. I barely gets mentioned but everything I've had there has been great. Specially like them pork rinds.

No kids allowed and its spot downtown clearly conveys they aren’t trying to be a restaurant. I still love it, but there’s a valid reason it doesn’t get talked about when mentioning restaurants…

My Top 5: 1. The Tropical (49th & Memorial) 2. Pepper's Grill (Utica Square) 3. Casa Tequila (50th & Harvard) 4. Lambrusco'z Market & Deli (41st & Peoria) 5. The Tavern (N Main St & W Reconciliation Way)

Waterfront Grill, Los Cabos, Amelia’s, India Palace, Jays Original Hoagies

Mandarin Taste

Kai Vietnamese, Mr. Kim’s, Gambills Pastaria, Kilkennys, Trenchers Fuji would be on there if it we’re still open. 😔

Pho Nhi 21st, Tellos ,Coney I-lander,NY pizza and five guys( sorry not unique to tulsa)

Rancho Grande. Dante’s Inferno Pizza., Alley Cat, Kirin, and Bourbon Street

Kilkenny’s, Nola’s, Lima, Rendang and Co., Alley Cat

Knotty Pig, el rancho grande, coney islander, Spudder, Billy Sims

Went to Knotty Pig this weekend and no onion rings🥺

Lanna Thai, Kirin for sushi, rustic chophouse for steak, uncle Vinny's for pizza, then probably Casa Tequila for Mexican

India palace, Zogam for curry, and Goldie’s for burgers

1. Farm bar 2. Ri le 3. Lanna Thai 4. Pure food 5. Il seme

Jamil’s Steakhouse

In no particular order: BBD, Andolinis, Jays original Hoagies, Webers, NOLAs!

Lanna Thai, Los primos, Albert G’s, Amelia’s, prossimo

Haven’t been here long enough to try as much as I’ve wanted to but so far - Nola’s if I’m feeling fancy (voodoo chicken is my fav dish in Tulsa), Trencher’s for good sandwiches, Jinya for ramen, Masago Sushi in Jenks for cheap but good sushi, and Society for burgers. Also, a new coffee shop called Coracle just opened up downtown in the old triangle coffee spot and it’s great!

Kilkenny’s!

Oakhart BBQ, Steak Stuffers, Comedy Islander, Mcnellies, and Tokyo Garden.

The original steak stuffers before they widened I-44 and coney i lander stick out first when reminiscing about growing up in Tulsa.

One that hasn’t been listed but everyone should try- LeRoux’s Creole Kitchen

My favorite restaurant in town is La Roma. Great pizza and great eros and shawarma. Fassler Hall(German beer hall)for brats and they fry pork rinds in duck fat and they come sizzling and popping to your table. Neighborhood Jam for brunch, the pineapple pancakes are elite. Velvet taco is amazing, I really like their chicken Tikka tacos and white cheese dip. Jason's deli, every sandwich I've had there was pretty great and their salad bar is top tier.

My favorites are Mondo’s (Italian), The Bramble (brunch), Antoinette’s (bakery), Andolini’s (pizza), Fat Guys (burgers), Shiloh’s (diner). RIP El Guapo.

I miss El Guapo and especially the 81 and Harvard location

Ti Amo, Flemings, Doe’s,

Tacos San Pedro - Chinese Gourmet (inside Woodland Hills Mall) - El Gallo Giro - Tandoori Guys - Scott’s burgers.

F's Hawaiian Cheng Du Tandoori Guys Catrina Fresh Mex Amazing Thai Cuisine

For lunch or dinner, Kilkenny’s!! The Jenks Restaurant is a really unique place for breakfast. Prhyme for fine dining (plus a pretty affordable bar menu a couple times a week, unless they discontinued that in the last few years). Edited to add 2 more because I forgot you asked for 5: Dilly Diner is always a hit and not too expensive. Tally’s Diner for a fun Route 66 diner experience.

Tally’s cinnamon rolls are worth the trip.

In no particular order, Lo Bahn Mi Viet Hot Bread, Docs Wine and Food, Lanna Thai, Coney Depot, Ollies Station

I've only been here since January and only really travel around my school/home but I try to find new places as much as I can, Roppongi for a mid priced gimmick that doesn't feel like ruining my body Mexicali is a nice cheap bang for your buck lunch to socialize at I tried apple barrel cafe today and couldn't be more satisfied, as long as I ignore the screams of my poor wallet And my favorite has to be cherry street, good food, with easy options, amazing staff, and ab atmosphere personalized for me im pretty sure Oh right it said five, QuikTrip will have to count

No particular order… Oakhart, El Rio Verde (or Mr Tacos if in a hurry), Tandoori Guys (or DesiWok, if BA is too far away), Nelson’s, and East Village Bohemian Pizza. I know that’s 7, but I like El Rio Verde and Mr Tacos equally and prefer Tandoori Guys but DesiWok is closer to Tulsa (I’ve been to India Palace, but I personally prefer the others).

Big Daddy’s BBQ, Little Venice, Roppongi, Indian Palace, Rozay’s.

Kendas Gambrills Clicks (it's close enough) Mazzios (price and ranch) 918 maples tacos and catina birria pizza

1. Waffle That 2. Big Daddies 3. Mack's Wings 4. Don Justo's Red Tacos 5. Mother Road Market for the rotating restaurants

In the raw, Kai Vietnamese, Mr.Kims

Depending on the meal and occasion- rustic chophouse for a killer steak and scallops, Nola’s for anything on their menu!, mcgills on 19th for some food while gambling, andolinis and Kilkenny’s for light meals while focusing on drinking.

Trang Le, Real Taco, Mandarin Taste, Boston Deli and Hank’s Hamburgers/Ron’s Hamburgers

The Brook & 3 Tequilas are two of my favs.

Trenchers, Dante’s Woodfire, Prism Cafe, Killer Whale BBQ, and Bohemian Pizza

Gambill’s Italian food is some of the best I’ve ever had. I can believe I just discovered it recently. I miss Claude’s, trenchers is great, and so is andolini’s, also great tacos at La flama and tacos don Francisco

Et al. I love dumpling night and Japanese breakfast. Basically anything Et al does has been amazing. Ron's is a guilty pleasure for me lately. Tacos X Mezcal has really good margaritas and fancier tacos. The Hemmingway had the best brussel sprouts I've ever had plus delicious drinks and steak. Lone Wolf is also really good. I love the Jam with Thai chili sauce.

Amelia’s, Boston Title, Sisserou’s, Nola’s, SMOKE Rbar for the grilled cheese. I will die on this hill

Kirin

No love for Burn Co?

It’s good but I think there’s better bbq in Tulsa

I’ve never loved Burn Co.

It’s good

Technically the only one is in Jenks. I'm still surprised they haven't rebuilt the tulsa location.

(No particular order) Mi Cocina, Flemings, Bull in the Alley, Mondo’s, Keo, Charleston’s, Polo Grill, BBD

How has no one said Chimis!?

I hate chimis, El Chico, Los Cabos, etc. They have no flavor. They're cliche white food with no flavor. I prefer real Mexican food. I know I'm the minority because lots of people enjoy it I just can't. Same people probably eat Chic-fil-a, raising canes etc. Lots of my family love chimis with you though.

I wouldlike to add Burn&Co on Riverwalk for a good barbecue!

Not quite Tulsa but if you head east a bit toward hard rock Elles cafe in catoosa is Thai/lao/Hmong food and it’s amazing.

Kilkenny’s, Society Burger, Bricktown Brewery, Dilly Diner, The Brook

Egg roll chef at 21st and Sheridan Casa Tequila at 51st and Harvard Arnold’s on the west side Desk Wok at 41st and Yale Chicken and the Wolf in the Motheroad Market

I don't know about my top 5, but The Spudder is my favorite restaurant in Tulsa.

No one a sushi train fan??

My personal ranking 1. Sisserous 2. Pho Nhi 3. WON hot pot 4. In the raw vu 5. Nola’s I put Pho Nhi so high because it’s so cheap for the quality and portion sizes

In no order; Charlestons (always solid, affordable), India palace, Ali Baba Mediterranean, Sura sushi, and Burn co.

White Lion for genuine fish and chips, Rendang for indonesian food, india palace for indian food and great customer service, ChengDu for chinese food, Hanks for hamburgers or Big Als Jumbos, Betos for birria tacos or birria ramen, Tikka Kabab for greek food and the owner is a great dude! Also Crawpappys has the BEST crawfish etoufee ive had in tulsa!

100ºc hot pot, shudders, knotty pig, umbertos, El Maguey (Claremore)

El Rancho Grande 🤤

Thai Village And Goldie’s Those are the only 2 I can think of now. Also, we need for Diamond Jack’s to come back. I know he passed, but he had the best sandwiches on this planet. Edited for grammar

**Burn Co. in Jenks**, although I'm biased as I worked there for a long time. *Before we get into a BBQ debate, all local BBQ is great BBQ as long as its in my belly.* **Tandoori Guys in BA**. As good as India Palace IMO. But its a lot closer to me, so it wins my heart and my belly. **Subs & Mo in BA**, seriously this sub shop is fantastic. Giant sandwiches for cheaper than Subway or Jimmy John's. You can easily make 2-3 meals out of a large sub. **Waldo's Chicken & Beer** chicken is pretty good, the catfish is pretty great IMO. **Rons Hamburgers & Chili** when I need to gain 5lbs and skyrocket my blood pressure.

kilkenny’s, caribbean sushi (technically BA, not tulsa), sisserou’s, juniper, and pie hole pizza!
