My wife and I had the restaurant to ourselves, so we had the pleasure of a lengthy visit with the owner of Crossing 2nd. A very personable young lady, with an interesting back ground as a result of her military service and professional employment. She has traveled the world. Experiences that influence the restaurant's menu. In addition to good old home-grown versions of Okie staples like a smash burger and meat loaf; there are a variety of international cuisine offerings. Just a few examples: Shawarma to Stitzel, and Spring rolls to Bao Buns. Some of her favorite ethnic foods from around the world. And for the Veg Heads there is something called a Grilled Cauliflower Steak. In the back of the restaurant is a large dining and event room, with outdoor seating. It is set up to handle a crowd. Check all of the pictures. There is Karaoke and live bands on the weekend. The music genre is as varied as the restaurant's menu. We kept our lunch simple today with an Oklahoma Smash Burger. A big beef patty with cheese, dressed with L,T,P&O. A side of crispy fries completed the basket. I noticed something different about the burger on the first bite. The tomato. The tomato had an unmistakable home-grown flavor. If you know, you know. I asked. Sure enough, grown in her husband's garden. An excellent burger. Great food, great owner and from looking at the pictures a fun place to spend the evening. read more

Crossing 2nd has so many good things going for it! First off the owners are so nice. Then there is the food. Something for everyone! Very varied menu. Great place to go with a group because every night is a different activity. Karaoke or trivia or something! Try it I bet you'll love it. read more

I am astonished at finding a tapas (small plate) restaurant in Bartlesville! The location is very accessible and parking is no issue. The restaurant is cute, you can sit at couches/chairs or tables. There are board games you can play and they have live music later in the evening. They have a fusion of different types of food Chinese, Greek, Italian, American, and almost everything in between. We got a mix of seafood, Italian, Greek, and Korean Short Ribs. All were flavorful and lovely. Service was excellent. They were a little stressed with the large parties going on in the back area (a reunion and party). A neat large drink menu. Must try! Great job. read more

Visiting for a few days in the area had appetizers and drinks the service, food, and drinks were astounding wish we had this restaurant where we live. The people that live here don't know how lucky you are to have a place like this. read more

Awful service!! Although the food is good the service absolutely kills this restaurant for me. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks and had been there an hour and had still not received any food. At that point we decided we had waited long enough and wanted to go home. I tried to pay for our drinks and the old female wanted to be disrespectful standing there starting at me and rolling her eyes and started speaking to us in a very demeaning manner. I tried to be as nice as possible but please don't be rude to your customers for your awful service. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior coming from management and it's no wonder they can't keep servers and kitchen staff around. read more

Ordered from the brewery next door. The food and service were both great. Can't go wrong with any of the small plates / appetizers.

Recently, I discovered some culinary gems in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. After living here for 20 years, I had thought that, aside from the amazing food and delightful desserts crafted by Chef Hackler and Annie Saltsman at the Eatery, there wasn't much else to explore. However, to my surprise, I recently came across Chef Nook and Ragtag Resilience, both of which helped me redefine my culinary opinions of what Bartlesville has to offer in terms of fine food and culinary delights. When I heard that Chef Nook was moving to a restaurant called "Crossing 2nd Street," I was slightly confused. What is this Crossing 2nd Street? So, on a chilly Wednesday afternoon, I moseyed on up to the establishment, not expecting to leave with a taste of the world in my hands. Crossing 2nd has a fun feel to it. It is spacious with a cute bar and seemingly has an atmosphere that can be tailored to an event like a game night or romantic dinner. It is a very diverse atmosphere. I was greeted by Chef Nook, and I began salivating at the prospect of consuming his food. Upon looking at the menu, I was truly taken aback! I mean, "Irish Nachos," "Sticky Ribs," and "Schnitzel" - oh my! What is this menu? So, naturally, I ordered several delights and eagerly awaited with anticipation how an establishment in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, could have such a diverse menu AND pull it off. While waiting, a lovely individual named Sharon came over and spoke with me regarding the restaurant. I learned through the conversation that she is the owner, and the inspiration for the menu is based on her culinary travels. This delightful conversation was most welcome, and seeing the pride and joy radiate from her as she spoke of her inspirations and journeys was setting the stage for what is to come. The first dish that was ordered was the Souvlaki with tzatziki and pita. This dish featured pork loin that was grilled with heavy Greek flavors and a yogurt sauce. The flavor was good with a mild herbaceous profile that was tempered beautifully by the tzatziki sauce. It was a delightful little pocket of love. The second dish was the Irish Pub Nachos loaded with beer cheese. This dish took me aback as the potatoes were cooked to a beautiful crispy golden brown, and resting upon them was a wonderfully delightful cheese sauce that complemented the meaty potato oh so well. The cheese sauce had a gorgeous tang of hoppy beer at the back end. The third dish was the grilled meatloaf sandwich. These little sliders were flavorful and rich with a beefy flavor that coated your tongue. The caramelized onions and cheese complemented the meaty flavor well. The next dish was the chicken satay with dipping sauce. The grilled chicken had a delightful Asian flavor profile that was paired beautifully with each sauce. However, the peanut sauce stood out as its nutty flavor paired well with the flavor profile of the chicken. The sticky ribs were infused with an Asian 5 spice. This was a surprise; despite being sweet, they were not too sweet, and the familiar flavor profile of the anise paired beautifully with the ribs. The sweet aftertaste and anise flavor lingered on the palate after each bite. The next dish was the Reuben egg rolls. The rolls had a good crunch to them. However, the interior lacked some flavor, as it was not as in-depth or as diverse as the other dishes. This is not to say they were bad; however, they did not tantalize the flavor palette as much as the previous dishes. The final dish was the curry special. This was excellent. Beautiful chunks of tender chicken rested within a rich, unctuous, velvety, gorgeous, sensual, sexy curry broth. The flavor profile of fenugreek, curry, and cardamom was beautiful, and the heat hit the back of your throat in such an elegant way. Each sip of the broth coated the palate with the gorgeous curry sauce, and it is simply decadent. Well done. When I entered Crossing, I was not sure what to expect. I mean, an establishment that is working with Chef Nook was good enough for me to give it a go. I was certainly not expecting to leave with one of the Indian chicken curries I have had in years, let alone dishes like chicken satay, Asian 5 spice sticky ribs, or Irish nachos. I was most certainly not expecting each to be good-to-excellent dishes with a unique flavor profile and tasting experience with each. This is no mere accomplishment, as such a diverse menu would be difficult for many places to pull off anywhere. However, what Sharon has brought to Bartlesville is nothing short of astounding. read more

The restaurant wasn't even 1/2 full but the kitchen could not keep up. I felt bad for the wait staff. The food we ordered was good - the problem is we waited over an hour for our food with two hungry kids. Tip for the owner - when your kitchen is slow or inefficient, have something small that patrons can nosh on while they wait. Could be as simple as a few olives or pickles or nut mix. read more

The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! We ordered the chicken dinner and it was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes and gravy was so flavorful and the mixed vegetables were unique and not the typical blend. They were seasoned wonderfully. I could eat this same meal every time! So so good! read more

This is a MUST if you're in the area! They offer small samplings so you can try a variety of items. My husband and I enjoyed trying out the various items.

So if you're in the area looking for a fun meal or a little snack, definitely give them a try! read more

You must eat here. Not only are the food and drinks amazing, the owner is just lovely! To start, I had the Bramble. It was a refreshing drink with summer blackberries. Light and cool. For dinner, I tried the Greek salad and the pasta with Alfredo and shrimp. These were tapas size - the perfect amount for my dinner of one. The Greek dressing did not disappoint. It was tangy with just the right amount of sweet. The menu doesn't lie about wanting to sop up the rest of the dressing with your bread. Not a drop went to waste. The pasta was soft and chewy. The Alfredo was light and buttery. I'm always hesitant to order, dreading a heavy gut wrenching sauce, but this was far from that. It. Was. Perfect. After chatting with the owner, Sharon, I found out these dishes mirrored those that she had when living abroad in Greece and Italy. You can't get much more authentic than that! Bartlesville isn't a regular stop for me, but I wish it was, because this food was absolutely amazing!!! read more

Attended a private party. Food was excellent and atmosphere was perfect for the celebration.

Great food Great service! Reasonable Prices! What's not to love...and in Bartlesville, OK?

Awesome atmosphere, and service. We started with a grazing board that I forgot to get a picture of, but it was great! I had a bramble from the cocktail menu, the meatloaf sandwich, and crispy brussel sprouts salad. Highly recommend! I can't wait to come back to try more small plates. read more

I am really enjoying the new menu. The new chef seems to be making a difference in the quality and variety.

Nice place. Great drinks. Everything I've had there has tasted great. They are out of some of the food stuff every so often. The service is usually pretty good. It's a nice place in town for trivia and karaoke and it's nice that it's open late! read more

I am in town with my friend on a business trip and we found this place on YELP and it was recommended by the people that we are in town to see. What a cute and welcoming place! They have tapas and other snack items. The food was tasty! We had the Brussel sprouts and kale salad (both fried with feta), roasted potatoes with beer cheese and jalapeños, and meatball bites with fresh parmesan and marinara. Our waitperson was Danni. She was awesome and so personable. She's a local hairstylist with the best attitude and personality! If you are ever in Bartlesville, check this place out and ask for Danni! Oh yeah... They have live music, too. The band was lively and fun as was the other patrons. I liked that the guys here asked the ladies to dance instead of holding up the wall like you see at so many places. It was a fun time all around! Will be back on my next visit! read more

This restaurant is a unique experience. Capable of a quick lunch or an all afternoon hangout. They have many boardgames to choose from as well. Many different areas of seating with all different styles of chairs that just gives the place a very interesting personality. The way they have setup the menu is unique to me as well. The owner who has been all around the world wanted to bring all the food from around the world to her restaurant and she did and she made it very affordable. Each plate from a place in the world ranges from 5-7$ and is a fair portion of food. So you can pick and chose 3 or 4 different plates for the same price of one meal at a different restaurant. Their drink menu is very adventurous as well. Overall, after we left we felt we had a unique and unexpected experience. We will be back one day to experience it again. They also have a area in the back that is karoke and ping pong tables. A very fun and happening place with very nice personable people! read more

Fantastic food! Excellent service! The BEST drinks in Bartlesville! Entertainment and huge space to host any kind of event!

Service was good. Food was good. Drinks were good. Ordered the sticky ribs, potatoes, shrimp, and pasta.

Terrible service. Wanted a Huricane and shrimp po boy to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Was told bartender was helping make sandwiches so could not get anything from bar. First time I have been flatly told no service at bar because they are busy. 26 minutes to get a shrimp po boy and piece of king cake. First and last time visiting this establishment. read more

Our niece talked about this place and their stuffed sandwiches. Oh my the stuffed ham and cheese sandwiches are so yummy.

This place is NOT TO BE MISSED!!!! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Sarah who is as kind as she is sharp. The members of the waitstaff are all pleasant and helpful.

We came here for dinner last night and are back again for breakfast, which is only on Friday mornings. I would like to eat every meal here until we leave tomorrow! Don't miss the opportunity when you're in the area! read more

What a gem! An unexpected delight. We came in from Lawrence, Kansas and had no idea where to eat. Dani was an amazing server and everything we had was tasty and cooked perfectly! The Brussels sprouts were the best we have had anywhere and the huge portion of peach bread pudding was one of the best things I have ever eaten. Also, highly recommend the meatballs, dumplings and souvlaki....all so delish.
