Great service and great selection of food. We had a group of 9 with us and there wasn't a bad thing ordered. I got the grilled salmon sandwich with a side of black beans. It was fantastic! The chicken strips were ginormous and the order was a plate full. It was crazy! The poor girl that ordered them got full off from just one and then shared the other three that covered the entire plate. We will definitely be back! read more

I travel for work and don't post very often. But I've really liked my experience at Baxter's. Ive been staying at the Doubletree and wanted another food option. Baxter's is a block away. Ive been in Tulsa 7 week nights and ate at Baxter's every night. It's nothing fancy. Varied menu and friendly staff. Food taste fresh and very good portions. I think my favorite meal so far was the SW Steak Cobb salad or the Honey Bacon burger. Please give them a shot if you're staying at the Doubletree or downtown. read more

We were in town for a convention and when we got to the restaurant for dinner it wasn't busy at all. We got seated and waited so long for a server we had to ask the hostess to get one. Once we got a server everything was fine. I had the chicken fajitas and they were good. We started with the cheese dip and that was good as well. The restaurant was very run down and needed to be up updated. read more

Interurban - the cool place to hang in the 80's; and there is a reason it still is going strong. The food is good and wait staff attentive. We dined for lunch - there were four in my party. I had the soup and salad lunch special. The Caesar salad had crispy, fresh lettuce and the dressing was tasty. The soup of the day was a green chili soup. It was quite spicy with incredible flavor. Two in party had the salmon which they loved. The final person had the bacon burger well done; what else can I say? She enjoyed the burger. We had a queso bowl appetizer which tasted wonderful with fresh crunchy chips. It was plenty to share with the four of us and some left over. The portions were good and the prices was reasonable. Kendall was our waitress and she did a good job. read more

This is the only restaurant in close walking distance to the Doubletree that I was forced to shack up in for two nights last week. Baxter's is leaps and bounds better than the hotel restaurant, so three stars are definitely warranted, maybe even four, considering the circumstances. The décor was dark. Think Houlihan's, circa 1995. The music was really bad. I heard Robert Palmer's "Some Like It Hot" (and, FML, it's STILL in my head) and other hits from the 80s during my tenure at the bar. The employees were nice. I chatted with the bartender who was a friend of a friend of a guy who was drafted to the Eagles this year. I'm pretty sure the locally grown/organic wave hasn't hit the Midwest yet. My intentions of eating clean went straight out the window when I realized I would have to eliminate at least three toppings on any given salad I ordered. Since salads were the only menu items that included vegetables, I ordered the buffalo chicken salad, with dressing on the side and an extra cup of hot sauce to drizzle over the greens in place of some of the dressing. It was damn good, and I didn't feel as guilty as I expected after eating it. I washed it down with three light beers while watching part of the World Series game, and my bill total was only sixteen dollars and change. The moral of this story is, do not go to Tulsa... but if you absolutely must, Baxter's will sustain you. read more

I was disappointed in my sandwich but the bruschetta is the best I've ever had. While looking of photos it looks like other people had a real sandwich as opposed to my terrible looking sad little sandwich. read more

Baxter's Interurban Grill - So this is the $9.00 portobello mushroom sandwich. Pretty sure it's not even portobello. I was very disappointed. - American Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I was pleasantly surprised by Baxter's although I'm somewhat confused as to what 'interurban' means. Located 3-minutes from the Doubletree, Baxter's is described by the locals as a 'local Applebees' and features many similar offerings. Service prompt and friendly and our server knowledgeable and helpful. Beers served ice-cold. Had the brisket enchiladas and requested extra hot. Brisket tender and flavorful, tortilla pleasantly toothsome, red sauce flavorful but still lacking in heat. I was pleased to see my enchilada wasn't drenched in cheese. Rice good but a bit bland. My coworkers were pleased with their offerings (fish tacos and chicken enchilada) although I can't explicitly comment on them. Very fairly priced; around $10 for the enchiladas, $4 for the local Tulsa brew. read more

Baxter's has an interesting location in downtown. Some could say this is a weakness, but I consider this it's biggest strength. It's away from the hubbub of the Blue Dome and Brady Districts, close to BOK, the Tulsa Convention Center, as well as right next door the the Doubletree. Baxter's has a great atmosphere; quiet and dark. Perfect. There's a large meeting room with it's own bar, that's perfect for business lunches/dinners, etc. I'm a big fan of their patio- which is a great little downtown secret. The food is good, and the show-stealer is the burgers and sandwiches. The Honey Pepper Bacon Burger is the real star of the show. They run a $6 burger deal on Monday, and is a great choice for lunch. Also nightly, are rotating appetizer specials during the week. The Buffalo Chicken Strips are highly recommended. The service is good, especially with the seasoned servers. Always cool, conversational, and adept. It's a pleasure to dine at baxter's, or to even just hang out at their bar. Baxter's used to be well-known, The Interurban, back in the 80's. The tradition continues since Baxter bought it. He's very hands on, always around, and is great to chat with. read more

I had the bruschetta. It was delicious!! I also had a cup of tortilla soup. It was good too! It was late at night and they didn't skimp. Yeah!!!! I would go back anytime. read more

I'm pretty easy to please, so I would be willing to give this place another shot during the weekend.. but man, skip it on a weeknight if you are looking for some fun. I saw on Yelp the place was open until 10pm, but we didn't arrive until 7:30 pm. By 8:15 all the chairs were up on the tables and we were the only table in the entire place. Even still, the service was slooow. The sour cream enchiladas got rave reviews from my co-workers, but the vegetarian options were slim. I went with the portobello burger and it was just okay. I left most of it on my plate. I had cheese fries as the side and wasn't even really impressed with those. The cheese was hardened on and I had to use ketchup to make them a bit less dry. I did like that they had Route 66 beers on tap, but at $4.25 for a pour, the prices weren't generous enough to make up for the lack of, well, everything. Again, it might be more lively on a weekend or if we could enjoy the patio.. but the time being I'd pass. read more

Baxter's Interurban Grill - Portobello burger - American Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

We had forgotten about this place. What a pleasant surprise. My hubby got the fish and chips and he said the fried fish was perfect. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were great. The staff is super friendly and the service was excellent. We will be back soon! read more

Outdated and the staff was not friendly Hard to get drinks refilled even water Food was ok ... Feels like table was dirty or had a serious coat of wax . Read about it in the Oklahoma magazine in the hotel room looks way better in the photos Skip it ... There's gotta be better read more

I went to Tulsa on a business trip last week. This place was right next my hotel. What a great surprise! I just said to give this place a try, and let me tell you it was a good idea. It has the feel of a true local bar and grill, like something out of a movie. I did not like the entrance because it was not very wheelchair friendly, but one of the staff showed me how to get around the cumbersome stairs. For my selections I went with the special. It was a surprisingly flavorful filet topped generously with blue cheese and mushrooms/roasted potatoes. The owner was very friendly, and the waitstaff was extraordinary. I had a delightful waitress named Christina who I really enjoyed working with. I'm already looking forward to this place again next time I visit the great city of Tulsa. read more

Over the last month, service has went downhill. Today we went in and ordered lunch. My buddy's salad was fixed incorrectly, I asked for crackers with my salad which never came. Sat with drinks empty for about 20 minutes...The food is good but they need to spend more time checking on the tables. read more

My organization and I picked this place one night to eat because it was in walking distance of our hotel and we were just in town for a few days. I ordered beef faijitas and they were delicious and so were the veggies that come along with it! However, I'm almost 100% sure the Spanish rice is uncle bens 90 second pouch rice that I survive off of being a college student. So needless to say, it was pretty bland. The black beans had the texture of beans that had been reheated over and over in a microwave. The rest of my org was not impressed at all with their food. One person ordered the salmon sandwich and it wasn't cooked all the way and still somewhat frozen in the middle...she didn't even keep eating the rest of her food. And another girl ordered the chicken quesidillas that came out cold and bland. The service is definitely not its best attribute. The employees stand in this big circle by the bar and talk and you have to glance over at them several times before they wait on you. read more

In from Houston working. This place is awesome! At first I was skeptical, the second time I was also a little skeptical, over and over again 5 and counting. This place delivers a great meal. The cool needs a raise and man the service out front is so great! I'm easy going but dang this is good read more

Baxter's Interurban Grill - Don't judge me. - American Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Everything was exactly as ordered. Food was great! Another reviewer commented on possible frozen patties being used for the burgers, I would like to officially denounce that. The burger was cooked medium (to order) perfectly, and couldn't be farther from being pre-cooked. I also had the Cajun pasta, which I asked be made as spicy as possible. They did not disappoint. The driver was very courteous, as well as polite. Everything arrived on time and nothing was spilled or messily packed. read more

Been going to this restaurant since the mid-80s. It's in a good location, close to hotels, Civic Center and BOK. 90% of the time, I go for an early (11am) or late (2pm) lunch because they have pretty good lunch specials from 11 until 4pm, and it's not crowded at all. I've never really had a problem with service. I usually get either fish and chips (not a lunch special), or the Turkey Urban lunch special with fries. Both of these meals are very tasty and reasonably priced. There is a pretty big parking lot next to the restaurant, but it gets kinda crowded at times. However you can also park right in front in the semi-circle drive. read more

Not so sure WTF "interurban" means but maybe it means dark bar with funny odor when you walk in, and lots of fake plants. Food was not bad, ordered a salad and the greens were nice and fresh, chicken was battered though, not grilled so be sure to be specific when you order. The house garlic vinaigrette was a very delightful surprise - clearly freshly made with fresh garlic. Bread, unfortunately was hard as a rock. But - service was prompt and a salad and beer was only $8.00 - less than the cost of a lemonade at the Doubletree around the corner where I stayed. For $8.00 it did the job, but didn't leave me dying to return. read more

I ate the portobello sandwich with steamed veggies. The vegetables were perfectly cooked with slight crispness yet soft with a high flavor profile. The sandwich itself was great but interesting. Very original with the combo of the ingredients. There was cucumber, portobello mushroom caps, red bell pepper, and sprouts. All were excellently steamed/sautéed. I had them take off the olive cream cheese topping due to personal decisions but I suspect it would be great. The bun itself was very lightly toasted if not just warmed and was on the smaller size for my taste, but overall a good wheat bun that did have that earthy taste. The waitress was very kind and polite and was striving to make sure we were well taken care of. We only drank water but we were never without for any time period. The lemon in the water had a very fresh sweet taste compared to the normal lemon at moat restaurants. I decided to opt for having desert since dinner was good. I choose the lemon pie with the graham cracker crust with pecans. I apparently did not intrepid the menu correctly I assumed similar to a lemon bar with a crust. I was very wrong. It was a lime/lemon citrus cream pie that had a strong lime flavor syrup drizzled on top. Now for what it was it was good with a good balance of citrus tart and sweetness. I was not prepared for it and therefore felt disappointed upon not receiving a lemon bar like dessert. Atmosphere was good with dim but adequate lighting and non distracting decor. There was a small handfuls of tv but I don't remember hearing them which I think is great. I like this place and would recommend this place for a nice dinner if you are wanting casual/nice, burgers/sandwiches/salad/soups. Will I absolutely remember it next time I'm here and have to stop, probably not. read more

Went here because it is in the Rewards Network allowing for Delta Sky Miles, so I thought I'd try it out before heading to the airport to fly home to SLC. I had a ribeye steak sandwich (on Texas Toast) with fries. It came with lettuce, tomato, and a dill pickle on the side. The food was fresh and tasty, and the place was clean and tidy. Service was adequate and friendly, but not overly annoying (they don't check on you every two minutes... they actually let you eat your food). Prices were appropriate, and the menu was extensive just enough to satisfy most people. I'd go here again! read more

Had dinner there twice this week (I'm staying at the Best Western next door). Outstanding service. All employees wear masks. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Seating is properly distanced. The orange roughy is good. Salads are great. Full bar, great pours. Wish I had a "local" like this back home. If you're near downtown Tulsa, this is a great option. read more

I came in at close to closing thinking they would rush me out the door and that the food would be mediocre at best. I was wrong. The service was fantastic. They were super nice and helpful. Walking me through the menu because it was my first time there. We landed on the fish and chips. It was fantastic. I could tell the fish was not pre frozen because it wasn't watery or greasy. They were cooked to perfection. Nice and crunchy. Also they make there tarter sauce in house. Overall great food and great service. read more

Had the filet with portabella and blue cheese and it was cooked perfectly! Service was wonderful! Dither person had the burger with avacado n pepper jack n it was yummy too! Walking distance from Hilton garden inn, where someone described it as an upscale chilis, but I found it to be so much better than a chilis! Also had the buffalo tenders, these were generous size, 1/2 price special n spicy!! read more

This place has so much potential. It's large, comfortable seating, decent patio area and an extensive menu. Service was sub-par: they were out of several items I attempted to order and there was no attempt to offer a suggested alternative and we often had to flag down our server for refills, etc. even though the restaurant was not particularly busy. The food was mediocre- my friend and I each got salads and split a few appetizers. Not terrible but not fantastic. read more

The home made chips come out warm and perfectly crisp! They are busy for lunch but food came out in a good amount of time. They have lunch specials and the burgers are very good. I like coming here to eat. read more

House chips were well seasoned and crisp. Not impressed with the Spinach Salad, chicken was cubed and odd color. Honey mustard dressing not a good compliment. Enchiladas were so so. Waitress not attentive to refills. "Mints" at the door were awful - coconut flavor??? read more

Have been there a few times, would go agin for the burgars especially. The staff is accommodating and curious, though... getting someone's attention takes time. All and all it gets a 3 out of 5 good service and very nice burgers. Where it lacks is in the pasta department my pasta was not what I expected, it was on the hard side (so I had to send it back and get a burger) read more

Really looking forward to a great tuna steak sandwich, like I always get at the Interurban in Duncan and Oklahoma City. When I finally got my order, the tuna steak was well-done and super dry. The service was mediocre, too, unfortunately, due to being understaffed. I ate what I could, but it was not even close to good. Who cooks a tuna steak well-done? read more

Artichoke appetizer was very good but main course was Not good - could not even finish my meal it tasted horrible. The cook came out when it was noticed I barely ate anything and took it off the bill. May be worth another try....? Waitress was great read more

The food is good. The quest was to die for so I'll be going back just for chips & queso & drinks. I ate the chicken fried steak, is was good but nothing spectacular. My friend had the Baxter's burger and she gets that every time she comes. Nice place for a quick lunch- our food came out blazing hot and so fast! Large portions. read more

I come here often. Service is amazing, prices are affordable and almost everything is fantastic. They have a really good cajun pasta and Linda's spinach salad. They also have $8 bacon burgers on Mondays. I love this place. read more

I had the world famous sour cream enchiladas. I was hood-winked and bamboozled by the name. Way to salty, the rice was ok at best and the beans I only had a spoonful. I Heard the beef brisket is the house special, so if it's a next time I might try it. Staff was very friendly and the place is nicely located behind the convention center and double tree. I gave it 2 stars cause of the convenience, staff, and cleanliness. read more

This place is okay. I enjoyed my Ruben but my wife's burger was not good. It was edible, but not good. I cant figure out the niche this place is trying to accomplish. It's like a mix between an TGIFridays and an office space. Either the owner or manager was walking around making sure that customers who were not happy with there order were satisfied with the final product they received. That is great, but just try to get it right the first time. I imagine this place will only survive because of it's close proximity to the BOK read more

Quick friendly service. Not really helpful about what was good on the menu. Asked if the burgers were good they said yes. Typical frozen patty. Ordered medium came out burned with a crunch. Two other tables said there food was burned as well. Best thing was the side item got mashed potatoes and gravy so that was decent. Probably would come back if the prices were about half of what they charge. Other comments said no refills that is true haven't gotten one since I've been here. read more

Wow. I'm speechless. First off, the interior design of Baxter's is truly something out of a magazine. The lavish decor sets the mood for the exquisite cuisine experience that is to come. Next, the service and wait staff at Baxter's is so kind. They will make you feel right at home, like they are your own family, the way they conversate with you and treat you. You'll never have to think about asking for a refill, because they are constantly checking in and making sure your dining experience is one to remember. Now on to the most important part, the food. From the bruschetta with artichokes, to the creamy pesto formagio, to the New Orleans roughy, everything on the menu tastes homemade, fresh, and completely authentic. The New Orleans Roughy especially caught my attention and I'm sure is a crowd favorite. The special sauce is so creamy, so flavorful, and makes the flavors of the tender filet of fish really shine. Overall, my experience at Baxter's Interurban Grille is one that I will cherish. Definitely the best food in Tulsa, America's most beautiful city. Let them know I sent ya ;) read more

Pretty good place, great atmosphere, the waitress was fantastic, I had the "award winning enchiladas" and they were pretty darn good. I would definitely go again. Tulsa has some very good eateries, wish I was here more. read more

We had our wedding reception at Baxter's on 2/3/17. We could not have been happier with everything! Picking the food (an awesome fajita buffet accommodating my non meat eating husband) was simple and completely stress free. We were allowed into the room early to decorate. The staff and owner were more than helpful and polite. The event room is done in warm wood tones and the bar is very nice. The space included a large tv in the corner and was perfect for a picture sideshow that was the cherry on top of an already great reception space! The table linens were included and set up by staff for us (again, fewer things to worry about makes it that much less stressful). The food was served right on time. I can not recommend this event room more for a wonderful stress free event! Everyone was accommodating, helpful, and present but not pushy. Most affordable event space in town. Highly recommended! read more

The atmosphere is very nice. It is inviting with a cozy feel to it. I ordered the $18 sirloin that came with beans and mashed potatoes. The food arrived quickly and was appealing in appearance. However, the steak was placed on top of the potatoes, which had the beans mixed with it. Now this may not be a problem for some but I know a lot of people like to keep their food "organized" on their plate so be aware of this. For me I like mashed potatoes and I like green beans, but I do not want the combination in every bite but with the way it was served you had no choice. Now for the steak- I ordered medium-rare and it was close to that, however you can tell they cooked it on too high of a heat. One edge was more along the well the other edge was way rare. The flavor of the steak was... well.... nothing. I have never had a steak, especially an $18 steak, with absolutely no flavor. I was grabbing for the salt and pepper and I never add salt and pepper to my food. read more
