New to Tulsa, what should I see, do or eat?

[Engineman1960]

Lived in Royal Oak, near St Micheals, Maryland late sixties with my grandmother (fathers side) while my father was in Viet Nam.

You have to visit the Davis Gun Museum in Claremore.

Since you live in Skiatook you might think about a membership to Red Castle Gun Club on the John Zink Ranch.
As far a dining I recommend Brothers Houligan, BurnCo BBQ, NOLA'S, Siegi's Sausage Factory & Restaurant, Smoke on Cherry Street and Remington's when it's decorated during the Christmas holidays.
In the fall take a ride down to the Talimena Drive, camp at Cedar Lake and visit the Heavener Runestone Park.

What do u like? There’s a few restaurants in Skiatook, good but nothing special. Try some southern dishes you don’t get back East. We have some good chicken fry, chicken fried steaks, biscuits and sausage gravy, and everyone thinks their BBQ the best, it’s the sauce for me.

your In a good hunting and fishing area, Look out for Rattlesnakes and coyotes, One of my friends let her little dog out to he bathroom one night and it didn’t end well…..

As far as things to do, we have 2 world class museums, gilcrease has more Russell and Remington than you’ll see anywhere, as well as Indian artifacts.

Downtown it’s the World Class Art Deco buildings with artwork that’s free or they do have someone to guild you. People come from all over the world to see it, a lot of Europeans.

The blue dome arts district downtown has many good restaurants, go visit the Woody Guthrie museum or other attractions.

The gathering place is World Class IMO

Plenty of Casinos, if your into that. Post oak lodge NW a little of downtown they do zip lining.

The Botanic garden that’s right there has concerts and events of local artist …. $35 a year for somewhere you can bring your family and play… lots of land with a lake.

Tulsa drillers baseball cheap entertainment.

TU football and basketball is very cheap, a season pass is like buying 1 ticket to OU/OSU.


My best friend lived there all his life, it’s the big city now…no more Prairie Chickens to hunt. I’ve got 5 acres a couple miles north on highway 11.

I was not at all impressed with Macs in Skiatook

Anybody know if the Batfish (old Submarine) is back up and running?

Savastanos or Andolini’s in Owasso is closer if you want Brooklin style pizza.
Quite frankly I’ll take the Hideway over both of them……


Wish UNO’s was still around great Chicago style pizza.

And if you go to the downtown area see if you can find El Rio Verde for lunch. 38 N Trenton Ave, Tulsa, just one block North and one block West of I-244 and Utica.

El Rio for "Torta asada ahogada"
Dona Gloria's at 21st east of Garnett for homemade corn tortillas, menudo, enchiladas con salsa rojo
India Palace at 71st and Lewis "boti kabab masala"
Lanna Thai at 71st and Memorial - #61 or #24
The Spudder for a real landmark - all the oil dudes know it - steaks, etc...lamb chops are first rate.
