Pho and More, Ardmore, OK

This restaurant gets good reviews and comes highly recommended by locals. It’s just a nice place to enjoy Asian cuisine with your friends and family.

Hi-Way Café, Vinita, OK

Home-cooked meals made from scratch in-house daily. Everything on the menu is good, but the chicken and noodles, Indian taco, and rib eye steak special are local favorites. Make sure to save room for dessert and take some of the homemade cinnamon rolls home with you. 

The Stuffed Olive, Oklahoma City, OK

The menu changes seasonally at this amazing spot. The chef-owner makes everything in-house from scratch. It sits in a remote business plaza and is off the beaten path. But it’s a path you’ll want to remember so you can go back again and again. 

Nosh, Moore, OK

Nosh is a hidden gem where you can get home-cooked meals that are unique and interesting. The pot roast pot pie is delicious and comforting. The best part is that they offer take and bake meals, perfect for a night when you want to eat at home, but don’t want to mess up the kitchen.
