Good food?


Tough to find in Tulsa. Amelia's Wood Fired, East Village Bohemia Pizza are both decent. Good beer places are Cabin Boys, Heirloom Rustic Ales and American Solera although their new location is too clean and corporate for my taste. Bob Dylan and Woodie Guthrie museums are ok. There is a great park called The Gathering Place that is free and has all sorts of giant play structures for kids and a big lodge that is cool to grab a coffee and chill out in.

Where are you staying? Tulsa Metro isn’t the smallest…so where you’ll be staying would determine what to tell you.

Went to this museum and really enjoyed it.

Gilcrease Museum, also known as the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, is a museum northwest of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma housing the world's largest, most comprehensive collection of art of the American West, as well as a growing collection of art and artifacts from Central and South America


Lot of good Asian places. We enjoyed Seoul Bistro. It’s in a strip center next to a weed store, but the food is legit.

Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art is a jewel. Very informative section on the holocaust, the camps, and WWII, as well as modern events in the Tulsa area. The section on Jewish culture, holidays etc, was well done. This was one of the most impressive small museums I’ve visited.

Take a ride around Oral Roberts University and see the biggest praying hands statue you’re likely to ever see. It looks like a Jetsons set.

Go to The Rose District in Broken Arrow, the adjacent city. Lots of cool restaurants and shops to walk among.

Woodland Hills Mall is kicking. Most malls suck and are dying, but this joint was packed with stores and customers when we went last year soon after Christmas.

Second on Wood Fired. Also try Elgin Park. The area close to the ballpark has some good restaurants and bars

Oral Roberts University

I spent so long in Tulsa for work, we eventually went to ORU and took the guided tour. One lady on the team bailed before the end because it was too much for her.

The first 24 hour WalMart I ever saw was next to or across the street from ORU.

The weatherman on the morning tv news show used to give the results from pro wrestling on Tuesday mornings.

Downtown: Bull in the Alley, In the Raw Sushi Vu, Amelia’s Wood Fired. Bars: Valkyrie, Kilkenny’s.

Other areas: Nola’s, Nelson’s Buffeteria (soul), Mondo’s (Italian), The Hemingway(steak)

Broken Arrow: Smokies BBQ, Main Street Tavern, Cherri Anne’s

Area Pizza: Andolini’s is always popular but I don’t care for it. I go for Hideaway.

Nola’s is creole. I have friends who have come up from south LA and a couple have loved it, some haven’t.

Bull in Alley is best steak.

Nelson’s is the oldest restaurant in Tulsa. It’s very good but it’s heavy. They’re only open until 2PM. You gotta know the meat and veggies you want when you get to server or they’ll send you to back of line. It’s a place I only eat once every couple of months. Simply because it’s not healthy but it’s damn good. Reminds me of the south (Oklahoma isn’t south no matter what Okies say). Meatloaf, chicken fried, and beef tips on mashed potatoes are my favorite.

Ended up eating at the hotel one night. Then Monday night we ate at the Mahogany prime steak house. It was really good.

We ate there our first night and yea, it was ok. We sat at the bar and the bartender was nice and gave me a bunch of free bourbon samples.
