    If you are at an airport you can't expect cheap food and drink, and here is not different. The draft beer is very good and cost 8.5 usd for 16oz. The food is ok, not bad at all. My favorite place in Tulsa Airport to wait my flight and eat something.

    Pepperoni pizza was not bad for a airport
    Johnny M.

    Not bad for an airport restaurant and bar. The beer is 4 star. The food is 2 star and could use some help.

    microwaved pizza

    Two employees were working at this place. One is outside with drinks and the other inside kitchen frying and microwaving food. It took 20 mins after we sat down at a table and finally we got tired of waiting and we went up to a bar to order food. 30 mins later food shows up and it's cold. Tulsa airport food Never coming to this place again !! Terrible experience!

    Nasty nachos. Stale and chicken taste frozen and cheese was hard
    Vanessa H.

    I really do not recommend this place. Manager should be ashame of the employees they have. First of the young guy was left alone on labor day and all he did was complain all loud of how unhappy he was. When my nachos arrived and they were stale and disgusting the cheese stuck to the plate and it was hard. Horrible experience in tulsa. Better service is needed.

    It's a little overpriced, but you're in the airport so that's expected. Food came out fast and Terner (the bartender) was great.

    For the small Tulsa airport, there only seem to be a couple of places to sit down and get a beer or food before your flight.

    Magnificent king salmon..... Read on…read more... The warmest greet, not just hostess but the server as well I was initially disappointed with their small wine by the glass selection But I went with a great Bordeaux blend that was fantastic the king salmon: Skin on very, very juicy loved it The sauce, asparagus, and crushed pistachio? Drizzle was both complicated and mild enough to not overwhelm the delicate king salmon. Thanks to this chef for not ruining a great piece of seafood with overly strong flavors . I was very impressed. I actually consumed the king salmon as slow as I could to prolong my enjoyment of how good it was. Tomato buratta crostini Mediocre to poor. I'd pass. Way you much cake like bread. The picture in Yelp shows more accoutrements. Mine was sparse on the arugula and tomato. Initial impressions were it is so loud in here I wouldn't be able to have a conversation with anybody and I was glad I was solo It'd be very difficult place to bring a date and want a meaningful conversation without raising your voice Still a 5 star experience based on the magnificent cook The chefs design of a delicate king salmon plate with mild yet complicated drizzle and asparagus was eye watering. Beautiful plating on top of it all. 6 stars!!

    We have been wanting to try this since they opened. Had a friend go to a couple of soft openings…read moreand she loved it. We stopped in for some later evening drinks. We weren't greeted by any hostess. The bar was full but the bartender said he had a little alcove for us (perfect for four) that was open--we just had to order drinks at the bar. So, our two guys stood and stood and stood. They finally split up and stood at separate ends of the bar to see who could get waited on first. One waitress, who I know was doing restaurant table service, was just standing there showing pics on her phone to a customer. We finally got our drinks but they forgot one. We then had someone check in on us finally!! Oh, and they were out of all of the craft draft beer--including their signature one. We ended up doing one more round. In fact, at one point, we were just going to go to the rooftop. Sadly, this made us not even want to come back to try the food. People in the know said that they were super short handed and needed a lot more help. The interior is great and I love the decor though. They put a lot of work into this space.

Service was spot on throughout the entire night. We started with the deviled eggs, half plain and half Chef's Choice. The Chef's Choice were the best, drizzled with chili crisp (or pickled Szechuan peppercorns) and topped with a tiny gherkin and fresh dill. The soup of the day was a cabbage and radish soup. It was interesting and very homey but I wish I had ordered the salad. I had the Novarro Farm sweet Potato Gnocchi (kale and pecan pesto, Birch Bottom Farm Georgia candy roaster, fresh chevre). I was a little hesitant about the kale pesto but should NOT have been. This dish was delicious--great garlic flavor. Would order again. The burger looked amazing and while The Hubs said it was good, he also said it needed some more spice. They had a couple of rotating beers from Heirloom--a Mexican Lager and an Italian Pilsner. I had the Water Lily cocktail, their take on an Aviation. Order it just because it's beautiful (and refreshing). The photo does not depict the deep color of it. I asked what other gin based cocktails they had on their menu. They didn't but the server/bartender offered to make me a Bee's Knees for the second round. It was delicious! The atmosphere here is casual but the food is elevated. I kept thinking this is what a French bistro would be like inside. I want to come back and shop the market. Oh, and the apple pie was excellent as well!

    It's been many a year since I'd been to Queenie's. They always have the best egg salad…read moresandwiches, really tasty and full of egg salad. I had the deluxe egg salad today, it was basically the regular sammy but with bacon. The bacon was ... meh. Thick and a bit overcooked. The sandwich itself was good tho. The location has changed since I last visited. It's on a corner spot, with outside sitting space as well as inside. it's like a real restaurant now. Before it was a small walk in with only a few patio tables outside, in and out, take it to go. Now, it's a full on experience. The staff was really nice. Eating outside was pleasant, it was cloudy, so the sun wasn't heating us up, tho there are trees around. In the evening the outside area is in the sun. It's a beautifully delicious place. They now serve breakfast along with lunch options. Really great food!

The food quality was excellent, and the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. One of the most unique parts of the visit was learning that the person seated at the table next to us was the previous owner. She is still a regular customer, and her photo is proudly displayed on the wall in the restaurant. That says a lot about the history, loyalty, and character of this place. I also accidentally left my credit card behind and did not realize it until about an hour and a half later. I called the restaurant, and the management immediately helped resolve the issue. They kindly arranged to mail it to my home in Los Angeles, and I have now received it safely. That level of honesty and customer care is rare. A special thank you to the management for handling everything so professionally, and to Heather for her kindness, attentiveness, and outstanding service. Highly recommend this spot for great breakfast, quality food, welcoming atmosphere, and a team that truly cares about its customers.

    I went here with friends back in February for our first time and we all loved it. Both service and…read morefood were wonderful, and I thought the prices were very reasonable. I ordered apricot iced tea, the vegan fried chicken sandwich, and pineapple upside-down cake. I don't normally like chicken sandwiches that much, but this was really good. And the highlight was getting to choose any of the salads on the menu as the side salad that comes with it. I had the hearts of palm salad with vegan cheese instead of the usual parmesan. It was delicious! I also got to try the cauliflower wings and a bite of the Korean BBQ tofu sandwich. I liked that sandwich too, but not as much. I do like the way they fried the tofu, but it seemed different than what was described on the menu. It seemed just deep fried, but not battered. My only complaint is the layout of the building and the lack of directional signage. I didn't park in the parking lot, so I didn't know to enter from the back and I ended up on a long confusing walk both outside and inside the building before I finally reached the dining room.

Tyler, our server was wonderfully engaging, made good food recommendations, really appeared to be a good human, and made a good meal better ... Salmon cakes appetizer were a nice start, the salads were memorable -- fresh and refreshing -- and my crusted salmon was a completely satisfying entree and I loved the crunch (good portion size, great sauce, and accompaniments). And, Tyler made a great pot of coffee ... strong, rich flavor. I thought it was excellent value. Thanks Tyler!
