The Tropical was on the Tasty Tulsa to-do list because of one simple fact – the owners of Lanna Thai are responsible for creating it.  I can speak for myself, and my fellow Tasty Tulsa bloggers, in saying that Lanna Thai is one of our favorite restaurants in town with its comfortable ambiance and delicious cuisine.

BBQ restaurants in Tulsa are like Quik Trips – there is literally one around every corner.  From chains like Rib Crib, to the smaller mom and pop joint like Elmer’s, a great reputation is tough to achieve with so much competition around.  So, along comes Back Alley Blues & BBQ with their own brand of [...]

  Charlie Mitchell knows soccer.  Charlie Mitchell knows Tulsa.  You know, like Bo knows.  That said Charlie Mitchell combined this knowledge with his love for food and brought Scottish American Modern Pub fare back to Tulsa.  Mitchell is back after closing down his last restaurant in 1995.  Before that he had been in the restaurant business since [...]

Tonight my family and I decided to dine at the sports-themed restaurant & bar, Leon’s — aka Leon’s on the Restless Ribbon — aka Leon’s Brookside, for the first time.  I’ve been curious about Leon’s because according to Urbanspoon it’s one of the best burger joints in town. I thought this would be the perfect [...]

Tonight we took cover from the scorching 100+ rays to take in some fresh food with fabulous flavors at The Ridge, located in the shopping center at 101st and Mingo. From the first sip of my cabernet to the last taste of key lime pie, it was a delightful dining experience.  When I first opened [...]

Last night my niece, Natasha, begged my husband and I to go to dinner with her and her mother at Main Street Tavern.  Since my niece is adorable and gets whatever she wants we couldn’t say no to her, so off we went.  Also, I was excited to see how downtown Broken Arrow was coming [...]

SMOKE on Cherry Street has been on my radar ever since they took over the vacant building which once was the Bourbon St. Cafe.  While it lay vacant with a for sale banner I pondered what it would become.  My first thought was a bar, or better yet a restaurant.  The folks at SMOKE took both [...]

The Waterfront Grill in Jenks is the new venture from the proprietor of Los Cabos restaurants, Jim Blacketer.  Los Cabos has become a Mexican staple of the Tulsa area dining scene with their beautiful locations in both Broken Arrow and on Jenks Riverwalk.  Los Cabos is known for its delicious margaritas, live music and laid back cuisine. The [...]

There are restaurants which I drive by consistently and say to myself, “I need to check that place out”.  Sonoma Bistro & Wine Bar has been one of those restaurants for me the past couple years and yesterday Christine and I finally made it out to this quaint Bistro in the heart of Brookside.  Finding parking was a difficult [...]

Last night was our first visit to Brady Tavern. It felt a little weird pulling up to the spot where Lola’s once was to find a new Tulsa hot spot.  The food and service at Lola’s was hit or miss but I will never forget their amazing chocolate & raspberry cake and the unique Dia de los [...]
