A
Cattlemen's Steakhouse
OKC's most storied restaurant, this Stockyards City institution has been feeding cowpokes and city slickers slabs of beef and lamb's fries (that's a polite way of saying gonads) since 1910. Deals are still cut at the counter and back in the luxe booths.

Galileo
This funky Paseo Arts District gathering spot has a menu spanning sea bass baked with lemon and cinnamon to meatloaf sandwiches to some tasty pizzas and it attracts just as diverse a crowd. There's art on the walls and the bar itself is a thing of beauty. Music or poetry most nights.

Eden Alley
Healthy eating never tasted better. The 'ultimate grilled cheese sandwich' is a work of art with four cheeses bubbling under an aioli sauce. Other options handle every variation on veggie eating and range from salads to falafel.

Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbeque
KC's own style of BBQ is pit-smoked and slathered with heavily-seasoned vinegar-based sauces. Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbeque in Country Club Plaza is for people who'd rather dress up before dripping sauce on their pants.

Java Joe's
The small menu covers a lot of ground: breakfast pastries, sandwiches, Indian dishes (lotsa lentils) and, of course, cupfuls of coffee. There's live local music many nights.

Another famous KC sauce shack is Gates Bar-B-Q, where it is assumed you'll want a frosted mug of locally-brewed beer with your hickory-smoked, sauce-slathered beef.

Part real diner, part tourist attraction, Ann's is a Route 66 veteran known for its - you guessed it - chicken fried steak. Okra and cream gravy also star.

Terrene
This bright, contemporary space defines itself both through its food (pan-roasted chicken with wilted spinach, chickpeas, roasted garlic, natural jus and chive butter, for example) and its dedication to environmentalism. It serves meat, but Terrene is also a vegetarian favorite.

Fort Hays
If you prefer corny to classy, try one of the Rapid City's chuckwagon suppers, where a meat-and-potatoes meal is followed by a country music and comedy show. At Fort Hays, five miles south of Rapid City, shares space with a Dances With Wolves film set.

Elmer's
- Tulsa, USA
- Restaurants › Other
A legendary barbecue joint where the star of the menu is the potentially deadly 'Badwich, ' a bun-crushing combo of superbly smoked sausages, ham, beef, pork and more. The dining room is barebones, as is the service (and the ribs after you're through).

JJs
A long-running steak house in the Plaza that stays busy by serving nearly flawless timeless classics like French onion soup and perfectly grilled meats. The bar buzzes with local glitterati, and the wine list sparkles with hundreds of choices.

Crown Candy Kitchen
An authentic family-run soda fountain that's been making families smile for decades. Malts come with spoons, the floats, well, float, and you can snack on chili dogs where the wiener groans under the toppings. Homemade candies top it off.

Chinatown Café
You can load up on salad and greasy chicken wings at the casino buffets while saloons offer cheap pub grub to soak up the brews. For something different, there's the lemon chicken at Chinatown Café, which does Chinese staples well.

Le Fou Frog
Take a trip to Paris without leaving the prairie at this small bistro that's authentic right down to the at-times brusque service. The food is superb, especially hearty stalwarts like cassoulet. Tables outside are to be cherished.

Bailey's Chocolate Bar
It's pure brilliance. Bailey's specializes in chocolate desserts and alcoholic beverages (with some brilliant combos: white chocolate raspberry martini, anyone?), with cheese plates and pizzas thrown in to conceal the decadence.

On a balmy night (common in OKC) the patio at this southwestern restaurant is the place to be. Blackened steaks and seafood and fresh treats like gazpacho keep people returning again and again.

Sameem
In the heart of the young, bohemian 'hood of Grand South Grand, Sameem serves traditional Afghan dishes like lamb kabobs plus fusion meals like the spicy chicken pasta. The chutney is divine.

Charlie Gitto's
Legendary Charlie Gitto's makes a strong claim to having invented St Louis' famous toasted ravioli. On any night the weather allows, dine under the huge tree on the patio. Classy but casual.

Saleem's
Saleem's 'Where garlic is king' is the alluring motto, and the favored flavor shows up in Saleem's kabobs, kofte, silky hummus and other Persian dishes. Portions are huge.

La Cantina
La Cantina is a narrow place, makes a mean salsa tomatillo and has a pretty good bar. Brick walls and a press-tin ceiling lend this Mexican restaurant a friendly feel.
