My wife's uncle, who lives in Tulsa, shot me this list of good eats.
Best BBQ ribs. West on 21st street to Harvard (about 1/2 mile). South on Harvard to Albert G's. West side of Harvard, in a one-time service station. Also, try the tabouli. Choice of sweet or hot sauce.
Goldie's Gourmet char-burgers. West on 21st toward the hospital, west of Lewis. About 1 1/2 miles from the Chili Bowl. Goldie's on north side of 21st. Superb burgers. Or, Goldie's on north side of 31st, west of Yale. About 3 blocks. Same people and menu.
Gourmet bakery, Danish, brownies, and the like. Merrit's bakery on 15th street, south side, about a block west of harvard. Best bakery in Tulsa, by far. Best Danish in the state.
Old-fashioned greasy-spoon burgers on Harvard, about a block or so south of 21st. Brownies. (May or may not be in business at that time, owner is dying but hanging in there.) If you go there, save room for pie.
There is an Amish restaurant on Harvard, south of 31st, east side. Edge of the parking apron of the Homeland grocery store. Old-fashioned dinners.
Also, a popular Thai buffet on about 32nd street. Inexpensive, all-you-can-eat buffet. In a little strip mall, east of Harvard, north side of the street.
There is a decent family-owned place on 11th and Yale, Talley's. Old-fashioned diner, good omelets. Good food all around.
There is an inexpensive Mexican place on west side of Harvard near Brownies. Good menu.
These are some of the better non-chain, locally-owned places. The sort that the natives know about, and superior to just about any chain.
If your hungry for a real steak dinner and also plain hungry, then Jamil's is your choice. On 51st street, north side, east of Harvard. Almost due south of the Chili Bowl. BTW, Jamil's is one of those places with autographed pictures of local celebs. e.g., picture of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer hangs in Jamil's. (Switzer is also a fan of Goldie's -- he owns the one in Norman, Ok.) Don't go there if you are not half-starved.
