City Bites: it’s nostalgic, see

March 2, 2010 | by Tim | 10 Comments

For some, City Bites might be a little ordinary and mundane, but for me, growing up just blocks from the original location when it opened in 1986, City Bites represents a lot of what is great about quality, local restaurants.

Tamales: Shady Restaurant of the Month

October 13, 2009 | by Andrew | 18 Comments

This review is about the best Mexican-style tamales in town. I say that with absolutely no reservations. No “I think,” no “possibly,” — absolutely no trepidation. I speak with confidence because I believe I have eaten at every authentic-ish Mexican restaurant on the south side of Oklahoma City and, unfortunately, at my fair share of Okla-Mex places as well.

Primo’s d’Italia: quality and value for a variety of tastes.

September 23, 2009 | by Sarah | 13 Comments

Primo’s offers an extensive menu that I enjoy exploring each time I visit. It may not be fancy or exotic, but its a solid place run by Oklahoma City locals with quality ingredients and good value.

El Pollon: Peruvian Shady Restaurant of the Month

September 3, 2009 | by Ryan | 8 Comments

Guest contributor, Chef Ryan Parrott, takes us on a journey to a south OKC Peruvian restaurant. The exterior is bland and non-descript, but the flavors and presentations inside are worthy of your attention.

Los Comales: Shady Restaurant of the Month

May 15, 2009 | by Andrew | 31 Comments

Los Comales is worth the trip to Stockyard City for those wanting a good taqueria experience. If you are tired of being insulted by other “Mexican” joints in town offering bland flavors and “cheese” jelly, this will be a breath of fresh air (assuming there isn’t a cattle auction going on down the road, in which case you shouldn’t breathe too deeply).

Jimmy’s Roundup Cafe: OKC’s best chicken fry and a whole lot more

March 4, 2009 | by Andrew | 13 Comments

That’s right, I’m going out on a limb and claiming Jimmy’s as the best chicken fried steak in town. But that’s not the only thing that’s good here. Jimmy’s is all around family friendly, work lunch friendly, and very friendly to your stomach and taste buds.

Big Johnson’s Highway Grill: wonderfully shady but not so tasty

January 7, 2009 | by Andrew | 15 Comments

Just the name of Big Johnson’s Highway Grill and their world famous trucker burger was like music to my shady-loving ears. I was anticipating my lunch all morning. Unfortunately, the burger and the rest of the lunch fare left a lot to be desired at this wonderfully shady location.

Bodensee Frozen Custard: much more than dessert

December 30, 2008 | by Tim | 7 Comments

I’m not sure the value of Bodensee’s $5 lunch combo (which I’m told is available all day) can be beat anywhere, by anyone. The food may not be all that unique, but it is fresh, healthy, tasty, and delivered at prices that beat most fast-food chains. Plus, they have terrific, hand-crafted custard.

Coney Island: red hot wieners for Oklahoma City since 1924

November 11, 2008 | by Andrew | 26 Comments

The biggest fans I have found of Coney Island are my kids. Though the food doesn’t really excite me, it’s not that bad and its worth choking down a few mediocre hot dogs to build some memories with the family at this piece of Oklahoma City nostalgia.

Taqueria Los Desvelados: Shady Restaurant of the Month

October 13, 2008 | by Andrew | 15 Comments

Sure, from the outside it stirs up fear and uneasiness with the best of them, but inside you feel pretty comfortable. Shady novices should stick with daylight hours, but for the more experienced shady adventurists, Taqueria Los Desvelados lets you adventure late into the night. After all, desvelados translates as “kept awake.”
