Burn Co Barbecue – Jenks, OK
One of the fellows that I have worked with for years suggested Burn Company Barbecue as a spot that we had to stop when we were near Tulsa. There is a downtown location and one in Jenks, on the Riverwalk. Only the Jenks location was open on Sunday, so the choice was made for us. […]
Claud’s Hamburgers – Tulsa, OK
On the heels of lunch, just 45 minutes before, we made a quick stop at Claud’s Hamburgers, in Tulsa, as we continued our road trip. Technically – I made a stop, as I was the only one eating at this time. Claud’s has been serving up burgers since 1954 (in this location since 1965) in […]
Smokie’s Hickory House – Broken Arrow, OK
First lunch on this Tuesday takes us to Smokie’s Hickory House, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. We had left Atlanta on Monday afternoon and spent the evening near Conway, Arkansas, on our way to Kansas. After being on the tollway for a couple of hours, we pulled off in Broken Arrow and went looking for Smokies. […]
Linda-Mar Drive In – Tulsa, OK
We weren’t leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight, but we were heading home from Winfield and looking for lunch (in all the wrong places?) when we got to Tulsa. (Note: That’s TWO thinly-veiled 80s country song references in one sentence!) This placed us at Linda-Mar Drive In (actually across the street in the grocery store […]
J & W Grill – Chickasha, OK
Please note: Between last night’s barbecue and this morning’s onion burger, there was a simple breakfast burrito. Don’t worry, faithful followers – we did NOT skip a meal. The other place mentioned by the reception desk at the hotel in Oklahoma City (OKC) was Nic’s Grill – a place I had on my itinerary […]
Leo’s Barbecue – Oklahoma City, OK
We arrived in our destination for the evening, Oklahoma City, without a definitive dinner plan. As we were checking into the hotel, we were talking with one of the ladies behind the reception desk about our barbecue and shopping based road trip. When I asked her about the best barbecue in OKC, she didn’t hesitate […]
Meers Store and Restaurant – Meers, OK
Another stop from Hamburger America was calling as we headed east from Amarillo toward Oklahoma City. One of the focal points of this road trip was back roads, and, boy howdy, did we find them on the way to Meers, Oklahoma. We followed the GPS on my phone, through a series of small towns, when […]
