Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Oklahoma

"Residing in what was the home and flower business of the Cheever family in the early 1900s, Cheever’s Café takes advantage of its history by storing wine, flowers and desserts in what was the floral case. The restaurant, at 2409 N Hudson Ave, is owned by A Good Egg Dining Group, which also owns Tucker’s Onion Burgers, Iron Star Urban Barbeque and Barrios Fine Mexican Dishes, among other restaurants. Stiving for an ambiance of “casual elegance,” Cheevers has separate brunch, lunch and dinner menus with a variety of food such as roasted chicken enchiladas, trout and steak."

"Offering contemporary American comfort food, Cheever’s Cafe fast found its place amongst the most popular restaurants in Oklahoma City after opening in 2000. With a menu made up of succulent steaks, fine seafood and fresh salads, all prepared in a contemporary Southwestern style, Cheever’s has ensured that there is a dish to suit all appetites."

"The first baby ever born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Belle, married a Cheever, started a flower business, and years later, we have Cheever’s Cafe. The full story is awesome and you can read it on the “About” page. Cheever’s Cafe maintains the original beauty of the flower shop while offering delicious food."

"Conveniently located in Midtown right on Hudson Avenue, this cozy coffee shop serves weekday breakfast lunch—with brunch on the weekends—as well as fuels all your coffee needs, no matter the time of day. The vegan chocolate chip cookies are on a whole level of their own and are kid-tested and -approved. Best for: breakfast with the whole family."

"Lots of people begin their days by zipping through coffee shops. Nothing wrong with wanting a dose of delicious, nutritious caffeine to kickstart your morning, right?. Elemental’s lattes, cortados and cold brews are among the metro’s very best, but even if you don’t drink coffee, it’s a killer first stop on your daily travels."

"Whether served on the covered patio or delivered curbside, Ludivine chef-owner Russ Johnson’s menu is always driven by the seasons. Daytime diners can drop by for a steak sandwich, wagyu burger, or a three-course light lunch that includes soup, salad, and house-made pasta. The dinner menu, meanwhile, might include such appetizers as bone marrow and foie gras, followed by entrees like smoked duck leg and braised lamb shank."

"Named in honor of the previous owner’s wife, Mary Eddy’s takes up an entire corner of the 21c Hotel and contains part of the extensive collection of artwork within the adaptive reuse building. Fred Jones, who worked his way up the corporate ladder at this Ford manufacturing facility, eventually bought the building on his way to becoming one of the largest automotive dealers in the world. The scene is totally posh and a lovely fusion of postindustrial and modern décor."

"Mary Eddy’s Kitchen is an upscale restaurant that showcases an eclectic take on American cuisine combining bold and unexpected flavors. Their biscuits with gravy are super light and fluffy and for dinner the Berkshire Pork Chop is just fabulous. Not only is the food top notch, but the restaurant has an art exhibition with beautiful pieces of curated art."

"If you’re looking for the best brunch in OKC, Mary Eddy’s is a great start!. This is where we had brunch before heading back home on Sunday and it was absolutely delicious. They have a couple already vegan options on the menu and have a full scratch kitchen so are willing to make you something."

"The Metro Wine Bar and Bistro, located in Oklahoma’s Nichols Hill Neighborhood and open since 1988, is a cozy establishment, known for its French inspired cuisine and extensive wine list, which features over 400 choices of carefully selected vintages. The venue is open for lunch on weekdays and for dinner seven days a week. If you are looking for a casual experience, have a seat at the bar when you come in."

"Opened in the mid-1990s, this institution introduced upscale counter-service dining to Edmond, Oklahoma City’s neighbor to the north. Backed by a commercial bakery and a brand-new streetery, Cafe 501 continues to serve its legendary Coyote chicken sandwich (topped with caramelized onion, jalapeno, cheese, and chipotle mayo), brick oven pizza, and house-made desserts on the street and for takeout. Be sure to grab some take-and-bake cookie dough for the house."

"Although the Classen Curve is normally populated by Edmond moms buying their $150 yoga sweaters or duvet covers that cost more than the average OKC monthly rent, Café 501 is a rare lunch spot worth potentially door-dinging a Maserati. The Coyote Crunch wrap is the best nod in the city to OKC’s sometimes inclusion into Southwest culture."

"Chef Henry Boudreaux is a big believer in extremely fresh, locally sourced ingredients – just ask him – which makes Plaza District restaurant Aurora a natural choice for those eating healthy: salads, fresh fruit yogurt bowl, avocado toast, that sort of thing. However, the open faced BLT is startlingly good thanks to its zing of pesto aioli, and if you’re looking to treat yourself, the sourdough French toast with crème Anglaise and mixed berries is pure, sweet perfection on a plate. 1704 NW 16th, OKC -NV"

"What is it: A relatively new brunch fixture in the Plaza District that boasts an inventive menu and the Instagrammable decor to match. Why go: Whether you’re looking for a spot to nurse your hangover or a quaint place to take your grandma for lunch, this lovely little joint is the place to be. Order the hearty buttermilk pancakes with a side of homemade thyme biscuits to soak up last night’s liquids or, if you're trying to be good, sample the savory lentil hummus bowl."
