No one mentioned Blue Dome Diner. Great Breakfast and Lunch fare, their biscuits are outstanding but someone needs to help them with the cream gravy.

Another long-time Tulsa cafe is Cortner's, on S. Sheridan at around 8th St. or so. Been around for years and years (and shows it, but the food is just as good as ever!) I was looking at the design of a dinner knife there once (it was diff from the fork and spoon patterns) and recognized the pattern from my own family when I was growing up! I thought maybe they had found it in a garage sale somewhere. Anyway, it's only open 'til 2pm through the week, 1pm on Sat. I think.

Cedar's Import Company(formally Antone's) over at about 25th and Sheridan. They are mainly a Lebanese food joint, but they have the best Po' Boy subs & Tabouli in town.

I'm still waiting for someone to suggest a "uniquely Tulsa" restaurant. Not Lebanese, not Italian - something that is unique to Tulsa. Maybe the aforementioned burger joints make the grade (if indeed the hamburger was invented here, that's a big deal) or maybe Tulsa style barbeque.
Is there a dish that screams "Tulsa"?

Someone's already mentioned Phat Phillies. I know I know, they're phillies. The owner's a local guy, it's in Gunboat, the food is way tasty, and you can get your picture on the wall for eating as many as you can. The big bonus is after you eat it you can squeeze the wax paper and napkins you used and strike oil...that's screaming TULSA. You can smear it all over your face and pretend you're James Dean on "Giant" too.

I'm from back east, and Phat Phillies is great! Closest thing to "real" Philly Cheesesteaks around here - love the atmosphere - If the grease doesn't saturate the wrappings - it ain't no cheesesteak Crap - now I wanna Phat Philly.

Newsflash to a few Camille's fans here. It has been closed for about 3 weeks now. It re-opened as some joint called "Lucky's". I've never been there but I might try it out sometime. They have a Sunday brunch which is supposed to be good. Pomodori's hasn't been mentioned here yet so there you go. It is owned by the same family that used to own Camille's.

Legend has it that the sausage cheeseburger was invented by mistake when an employee accidentally mixed the ground sausage with the ground hamburger...and the customer loved it.
To think this signifies Tulsa. Where's that River money...

A Sausage burger from Ron's with a root beer is one of the great pleasures in life. And some of the ginormous bacon hot-cheese fries! I swear, I love the food threads on this board![ ] quote: Any local restaurant that combines Midwestern, Southwestern, and Southern food screams Tulsa. We are the confluence of those 3 regions.
Would that be Peppers?

I'd like that list. I'm always up for trying new things. [^]

My family loves the new RUNT'S BBQ next to Bass Pro Shop in BA. My friends and family have darkened their doorsteps numberous times and the RIB'S are absolutly the best on the PLANET in our opinion. The girls think it is the cleanest restaurant in town!!It is fun and has a unique concept,kinda like steppin back in to a vintage movie theater feel. Whenever we haven't visited for a while someone will call and say we need a RUNT'S fix & off we go. We also like their steaks & smoked prime rib & catfish. Beats the chain stuff hands down!!

Wow, sounds like either an advertisement or a family member of Runt's ownership is on the forum.. Seriously, this will go on my list of places to go...tx
