With all the chain restaurants throughout Tulsa, is there a local restaurant in Tulsa that says "This is Tulsa" a local could take an out of town visitor?

McGill's
Bodean's seafood grill

It just depends on how much you wanna spend and what you want to eat.

I'd like to add the Wild Fork and El Guapo's (the rooftop especially screams 'This is Tulsa!').

The rooftop of El Guapo's is outstanding but I thought the food was average.  The margarita's on the other hand....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks for the input...But would you mind refining the lists of unique restaurants to this parameter. Is there something about Tulsa dining that belongs to Tulsa. More specifically, Philadelphia has its cheesesteaks, Maine has its lobster, Washington has its salmon, Tulsa has ______. (Please, no "corrupt government" comments)

I would say the only real standout item in the Tulsa restaurant scene is the hamburger.

A Tulsa restaurant was the first to put a beef patty on a round bun...

Tulsa has some excellent hamburger joints. My favorite is Bill's (over by 2nd and Utica), but Ron's, Weber's, and others make a great hamburger worth praise.

Alex, is it 'What are chicken-fried steaks with a nice merlot?'

I would have to say Steaks. Seems every "nice" restaurant has it's own way of curing/cooking them and they are all delicious. Obviously being in cattle country helps in getting the choice cuts of steaks to cook.
