The Most Flavorful Southern in Tulsa

Wright's Barbecue

★★★★★ 4.7 (705) • $$

"Wright's BBQ: A BBQ Lover's ParadiseAs Kansas City BBQ enthusiasts, we were a bit skeptical when our California cousins suggested a BBQ joint in Arkansas. But, hey, you can't say no to good BBQ! We arrived right at opening time and were surprised to see a line already forming.We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the 3-meat combo with beans and mac and cheese, and a side of mashed potatoes. The pulled pork was a standout - tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The brisket was also impressive, though perhaps not quite KC-style.But the real star of the show was the mashed potatoes. They were creamy, buttery, and had a secret ingredient that elevated them to another level. We were so engrossed in our meal that we didn't even notice our cousin sneaking bites of our mashed potatoes!The atmosphere at Wright's BBQ is casual and inviting. While the extended wait times can be a bit of a drawback, we highly recommend arriving early to avoid the crowds.If you're ever in Northwest Arkansas, Wright's BBQ is a must-visit. It's a great place to experience delicious BBQ and create lasting memories."

"I attended a birthday party at The Press recently. We sat on the patio & it was perfect with our big group.I ordered the Press Cobb & it was amazing. It had deviled eggs on it which was the perfect touch to make the salad extra special. I would order it again!Can't wait to try more dishes next time."

Iron Star Urban Barbeque

"What's not to love?! Always have great drinks. Tonight had their old fashion. Food consistently hits the spot! Ask for a side of jalepeno when getting the Mac and cheese. It's amazing!! All of the sides are yummy! The corn bread can't be missed. Order it all and take rhetorical leftovers home!"

Wright’s Barbecue

★★★★★ 4.6 (211) • $$

"This was, by far, the most memorable food we had during our week-long trip to Bentonville. I think this might be my only must-stop food of the trip for any meat eaters. I got the pulled pork sandwich with chips and a coke. The pulled pork was exactly what pulled pork should be - tender, juicy, full of flavor. I wasn't a fan of any of the sauces, but the meat was so perfectly done that you didn't really even need any sauce. Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful. I wish they would do something about all of the flies outside. That seems like a little bit of a health-code hazard waiting to happen. If I ever find myself back in Bentonville, this is one place I would go out of my way to stop at."

"I love love love this spot my folks live here in Tulsa and when I'm in town they bring me every time. Food is so good and even if your full take home some beignets. A taste of the big easy in every bite Crab cakes so yummy fried okra fresh and the breading they use I can make a meal out of that. Super fresh great fish and étouffée. Never had a bad meal ."

Chicken Mary's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (98) • $$

"If I could give more than five stars I would. Highly recommend Chicken Mary's. Cannot recommend enough! Hands-down, one of the best places/service I have ever received at a restaurant.From the moment I walked in, I was met with great hospitality from the hostess who immediately seated me and told me about my server. The place has original location charm written all over it! Within a matter of minutes, my server, Keesha, came over with a trainee server, Natasa. I asked for recommendations and was given them with thoroughness and kindness. Per Keesha's recommendations, I ended up ordering a sweet tea, small onion rings, two dark meat chicken thighs, one dark meat chicken leg, the German potato salad, German slaw, and mashed potatoes and gravy. Now if you're thinking, this is a lot of food you are correct. I obviously took some home (and it reheated well in the air fryer). Hands-down, the chicken thighs were the best chicken I've had in my life. Wonderful mix of flavor and crunch, so tender it was nearly falling off the bone. Masterful flavor. The German potato salad was a different consistency than I've seen, but the flavor was out of this world and so was the German slaw. It's nice and refreshing to see something like that on the menu that you don't see just anywhere. The ranch is homemade too! I was too full for dessert, but I would've stuck around and had some of that if not. Keesha and Natasa were so kind throughout the whole meal. We had conversation, they comforted me when I was having a moment, and I received a big hug. They are truly people with big hearts who care.I cannot stress enough to try chicken Mary's. If you have not, add it to your list and make the trip. It is worth it and you will not regret it. Please go see Keesha and Natasa and give kudos to the young chef in the kitchen as well!"

Roscoe's Feed Shack

★★★★★ 4.6 (50)

"This is the restaurant you go to when you're ready for big helpings and to put your sweatpants to work. Very old-school style restaurant that tastes just like mawmaw and pawpaw's house. The employees are incredibly kind and it really does feel like going to a family Sunday dinner."

Isla's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.7 (62) • $$

"Had a Valentine's Day brunch here and it was amazing! We were seated immediately. The place was well lit and not too loud. I enjoyed the steak and eggs while my bf had the chicken fried steak dinner. Food was absolutely delicious, the homemade biscuits were top tier... we will be back."

Chicken Salad Chick

★★★★★ 4.5 (39)

"If you like chicken salad then you need to get here to get your fix. Stopped in here Saturday to check out all the hype and I couldn't be more happier. I got the regular chicken salad and the Waldorf chicken salad. Both are delicious and fresh. Can't wait to come try more of what this lil place dishes out"

Blue Ribbon Diner

★★★★☆ 3.9 (50) • $

"I ordered this through door dash so I have not visited the location yet. You may order your two eggs any way you like them so I requested over medium and that's exactly what I got. The biscuits and gravy were amazing, the hasbtowns were fresh and hot. I really enjoyed this breakfast."

Polks House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (20)

"A real hidden gem. Cash only. Everything made in advance and under heat lamp, but tastes homemade as it gets. As another reviewer pointed out - portions are hit or miss depending on what you get. Menu also rotates.Loved the pork chops, mac n cheese, wings.Yams and cabbage needed a lil something. Don't expect to sit and eat. Great lunch spot for takeout though."

Boondocks

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (23)

"Very positive place. All kinds of sports on the TVs,good food,karaoke,drinks, and friendly people. I would definitely go back. Especially for any event that they have. Awesome vibes."

Chicken Foot

★★★★☆ 4.3 (10)

"This was our first visit to a Chicken Foot. Walking in, the interior reminded us of a Torchy's. You order, then seat yourself, and the bar is a separate tab. I ordered the spring chik'n salad crispy. My husband had the chicken and waffles, which was kind of skimpy on chicken. We shared the fried pickles. The chicken was great! Will definitely return. The waffles were tasty and the salad was fresh. The pickles were perfectly battered. The reasons I didn't rate a 5. They offer a happy hour menu, which I would suggest they try to push. The guy that took our order did not mention. We didn't see the sign until we sat down. We may have ordered additional apps if we had known. Second, we were charged for ranch! The unfortunate part is neither of us even like ranch. We didn't use it but we were charged 50 cents for it. An understandable cost if you realize you are being charged. We will not make that mistake again! I would suggest the cashier be more up front about hidden fees. Inside and outside was clean. Service was quick."
