I've been intentionally checking out Soul Food restaurants since 1999 both here and abroad. This is the best one that I've tried anywhere in the world. However, the customer service was a tad bit slow. The Manager or owner helped out. He also let me take all of these pictures. The prices were good. The fish was delicious. The oxtails were incredible. It may have been the best I've ever tasted. I can't remember any restaurant that served some as good as these. Also, they provided a lot of meat. The greens were good also. We didn't care for the Red Velvet cake. It's a tricky cake to make that will satisfy. It's not a deal breaker. Do not miss out! I'd give them a 10 out of 5. Just saying. read more

Fantastic food and friendly service in a cool setting. We had fried chicken and sides. The chicken was tasty and juicy. Fried perfection. The mac and cheese was top tier. Greens were tasty and didn't need any seasoning at all. Yams were sweet and not overcooked. Definitely get the corn bread. read more

Fixins Soul Kitchen - Soul Food Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

This spot speaks the lovely language of southern comfort and soul food to the Tulsa community. The food was amazing! The menu is pretty simple, but focused on making the limited offerings they have top-tier. I got the two-piece fried chicken (breast and boneless thigh) with mac and cheese, collard greens, and candied yams that was served with a biscuit and a special, house-made butter. My friend got the cornbread and was generous enough to share. Everything was delicious and I enjoyed every single bite. Most noteworthy though was the mac and cheese, candied yams, and cornbread/biscuit with butter. The chicken was tender and moist. The collard greens were savory and cooked very well. The mac and cheese was very creamy and cheesy with a great texture. The candied yams were sweet with a sugary and caramel taste. The cornbread had a sort of glaze on it that was just divine and eliminated the need for any butter, and the biscuit was soft and perfectly complemented by the sweet butter. Delicious! 5/5 read more

The food was really good and felt real homie! The oxtail were perfect and the gumbo had a really perfect mild flavor (only wish there was shrimp or crab in it). The fried chicken was cooked to perfection! I recommend! read more

Found this place lookin for a soul food joint. Almost didn't stop ain't no joint. We were hungry and hot so decided to go in. One of the best decisions we've made looking for good food. Outstanding service sorry I've forgotten the young lady's name. The food is as good if not better than I've eaten in our 30+ years of traveling our great America Looking for the special places. The manager visited & ever brought out the chef. My pictures don't give the plates justice. we live in Rogers Ar about one and half hours away and will make numerous trips to eat here again. read more

I visited Tulsa, OK for a research workshop and my hotel recommended Fixins for lunch. I was part of an 8-person group that stopped by. Fixins is a Soul Food restaurant that had a lot of favorites, but also has interesting takes on standards. For example, I tried the deep fried deviled eggs, which was lovely because there was a crisp flavorful crust, but when you bite into it, there is the familiar deviled egg taste. They added a seasoned cream topping with a bacon bit garnish. I also ordered the shrimp and grits. The dish was well seasoned and there were about six medium-sized shrimp at the center of the plate. The grits were mixed with finely diced onions, peppers, and tomatoes in a gravy that made the grits slightly liquidy in consistency, but the flavor made up for it. For an "authentic experience," I ordered the sweet tea; whoa it's sweet! And it know better! It's a large cup, so you are well served. Don't order if you have concerns about blood sugar! My colleagues also enjoyed their dished: fried chicken, potato salad...! We kept saying that we wanted to return to Fixins for another meal but we were staying in town long enough. If you're visited Tulsa, Fixins' is worth the trip. read more

Fixins Soul Kitchen - Deep Fried Deviled Eggs - Soul Food Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Yum! Loved being able to try this spot out where the food was bomb, the customer service was incredible, and the culture was great! I ordered a two piece when I should've got a three piece! Those greens?! Baby!! Yes. Order them. I ordered peach cobbler to go, not sure why it was cold but maybe it comes prepared in a skillet?! Delicious nonetheless, but hated that I had to warm it in the microwave at the hotel. The wings were so good and crispy I came back for breakfast. The eggs were delicious and the portions were generous. I will be bringing my husband Warren Stewart Jr. to Tulsa just to eat at his old mentors spot, Kevin Johnson! read more

Finally got to try Fixins Soul Kitchen! A friend had told me about the one in LA, so when I moved to Tulsa and saw they had a location here, I was excited to check it out. I stopped by with a friend for dinner, and the place is very nice and clean, with a friendly and welcoming staff. The food was good overall. I ordered the shrimp and grits and if I see that on a menu, I'm definitely trying it and it hit the spot. My friend got the catfish nuggets, and those were really good! Of course, I had to get my go-to drink, a French 75, and it did not disappoint. I didn't get a chance to try the Kool-Aid (my friend told me I should've!), so now I definitely have a reason to go back. I'd love to come back and try more items and maybe even brunch if they offer it. Overall, a solid spot and one I'd recommend checking out! read more

I've been wanting to try this spot forever! And finally had dinner before a concert downtown. It was dead on a Tuesday night, and our server was so nice. It's a really cool vibe inside. I had a vodka kool aid, and it's exactly as sweet as momma makes it in the holler. Fried green tomatoes were crispy and delicious. Both biscuits & cornbread are delicious with specialty butters! My fish was perfectly fried. Mac & cheese has tons of flavor. But my favorite bite of the night was collard greens. Absolutely amazing! I'll definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

Well, I finally made it to Fixins to review their talked about fried chicken. And it did not disappoint. First off, the atmosphere is really nice. It's an upscale restaurant with a nice menu. Sorry, I can't tell you what else was offered on the menu cuz I only came in for 1 thing; Fried Chicken. The Fried Chicken came out hot and smelling great. It was crispy and juicy. I couldn't tell if they had brined it but regardless, it was juicy. The flavor was really Extra. I like my chicken simple without a lot of seasonings but they definitely had added some stuff in there. But that's ok, I ate every crumb and cleaned them bones like I was homeless. My only issue was that either they cooked my chicken a little long or the grease was too hot cuz the crust was a little dark. But still juicy so still good. Imma give it another try yo see if it was just one of their chefs was not paying attention or this was how they do it. The collard greens were good. Again, a bit over seasoned for me but I ate every bite. So what's up with no masked potatoes and gravy?? Fr? That was a shock for me. But I know all that takes time. But I need mashed potatoes and gravy and some home made biscuits to give it a 10, but I'm giving Fixins Fried Chicken an 8. Atmosphere and vibe was a 10 though. I'll definitely be back. read more

Fixins Soul Kitchen - 3 piece Fried Chicken with Collard Greens - Soul Food Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Our first lunch visit at this location. The atmosphere was nice and the decor was on point. The staff were friendly and the music was a vibe. A full bar inside if you want a cocktail. The fried green tomatoes were hot and crispy with a tasty dipping sauce. While our meals were delicious, I'd suggest serving the tartar sauce on the side for the fish sandwich to prevent messiness. My husband's dinner was a hit, particularly the fried chicken, red beans and rice, though the mac & cheese noodles were slightly overcooked. Side note: I love the wallpaper. read more

Oh my goodness, normally I stick to Mom & Pop or hole in the wall style eateries for soul food. The food is typically better and the servers nicer. But restaurant has an upscale appearance AND warm, attentive servers who speak to and with you as neighborhood/community/family. And the food was on point! Delicious, savory, succulent - all the things. I heard from people they're also consistently good. No off days with chefs when it comes to the food. I'll have to come back to see. read more

We like Fixins'! This was a great opportunity to find parking easy on a Saturday to see what all the food talk downtown was about. We are glad we tried fried chicken, greens, black eyed peas. I did. My husband had the pancake brunch option. Brunch is before 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. Sure is a popular hit in Tulsa!! Host and table staff are friendly and welcoming. Had an enjoyable time!! read more

Nice gem in downtown Tulsa. Both the food and drinks were good. The oxtail, greens and mac n cheese stood out in my meal. We had the fried deviled eggs and artichoke dip as well. The service and conversation with our server Kiara was great. Soft R&B playing in the background set the vibe just right. The place was clean and well lit. Can't wait to try something new next time read more

Great experience at Fixins in Tulsa (Black Wall Street). Great service and pleasant people on staff. Our waitress was attentive and patient.

We've been wanting to try Fixins since it opened a few years ago but rarely go downtown. Now we'll be headed downtown once a month! Better than advertised. I got the 2 Piece Fried Chicken w/ yams and greens and cornbread muffin. Wow! The chicken was seasoned perfectly. Not as moist as Eischen's chicken but still delicious. The yams and greens perfect! The rest of the crew split the fried fish and Mac. They said it was perfect! Service and the inside were great. Loved the artwork. Highly recommend! A little pricey but worth it. read more

Fixins is a soul food restaurant in downtown Tulsa. My first visit was in 2023, and I remember the food being outstanding. That time I ordered the catfish. This time I ordered the Oxtails. My order came out within 10 minutes. When it arrived to my table there was no steam from the oxtails or my collard greens. Hannah, my sweet waitress, warmed the food for me. I ordered a side of extra gravy ooooo weeee SALTYYYYY!!!! I'm really upset at myself for pouring it directly on my food. Hopefully I can do something at home to save the oxtails. I love the selection of music they play, especially on Sundays. But if you get the oxtails skip on the extra gravy read more

I love this place. The S/O and I come here a lot. We're vegan and we love the vegan menu. When we bring our friends and family here (meaty people) they like this place as well. That said, lately the vegan items have been VERY hit or miss. The sides are always en pointe but the mains have been less so. The blackened tofu has come out SO SALTY several times that it is almost inedible. The other things that come with it aren't salty so it has to be in the preparation of the tofu. How? How can that much salt get added and no one notices during the preparation? The vegan burger comes out in all kinds of ways. Despite the menu listing what comes on the burger, it comes out with missing veggies, sauce, etc. The staff are always very nice when we point this out and they take it back and make it right but this has been happening SO OFTEN we've stopped ordering anything to go. With no assurance that the items ordered will arrive as described on the menu, why would anyone? And that the vegan items have been so reliably unreliable is a big deterrent from ordering to go. Which sucks! I loved suggesting this for large groups since they offer vegan and meaty options. As the only soul food joint in Tulsa with vegan options this is especially disappointing. I hope they get this sorted out and return to the reliably delicious food they served for most of their existence in Tulsa. read more

Great Food, Great Vibes, and Excellent Service We stopped by Fixins Soul Kitchen while visiting our niece for her return to college, and we really enjoyed the experience. As Louisiana and Texas natives, we're pretty serious about good soul food -- and this spot definitely delivered. We ordered the oxtails, fried fish nuggets, collard greens, and gumbo. Everything was packed with flavor. The oxtails were seasoned perfectly and full of flavor, though they could've been a bit more tender -- still very enjoyable overall. The fish nuggets, collard greens, and gumbo were all on point. And listen... the croutons! Definitely give them a try -- one of a kind and a surprisingly great touch. Our server Briana was amazing and made great recommendations. She even swapped our mac & cheese for the collard greens (which turned out to be the right call -- they were delicious). The restaurant was clean, had great vibes, and the jazzy music made for a really nice atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. We'd definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for good soul food with a nice atmosphere. read more

ITIS ALERT Have you ever eaten so good that all you want to do is go home, skip the shower, crawl into bed, and wake up the next day? Yeah... that's Fixins Soul Kitchen in a nutshell. I was visiting Oklahoma and stopped by on a foodie mission--and let me tell you, I'm picky. I'm from D.C., so I know what good food is supposed to taste like, and Fixins did not disappoint. Let's start with the mac and cheese--because that's a hit-or-miss item at a lot of soul food spots these days. But here? It was creamy, cheesy, and on point. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside--exactly how it should be. Now here's a tip: if you're deciding between the biscuit and the cornbread, get the biscuit. I planned to share it with a friend, but she devoured it before I could even get a bite. That should tell you everything you need to know. I also had the adult Kool-Aid (you already know), and it was the perfect little kick to go with the meal. Service was friendly and the vibe was cool. My only gripe? They brought one person's food out way before the rest of the table. I'm not a fan of that, but honestly, everything else ran smooth, and the energy in the place was warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Fixins knows how to serve up flavor and comfort in one plate. read more

I've been in to the LA location and it was delicious so I was excited to see one here in Tulsa. We ordered the deviled eggs, chip and cheese dip, kid's wing and waffle, ox tail, gumbo, and peach cobbler. Everything was delicious and no one had any complaints whatsoever. 10/10 for literally everything. There was a live DJ. Everyone was very friendly. The environment and ambiance was modern, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

Fixins was tasty. We were visiting and our hostess brought us here with a strong recommendation, and it did not disappoint. I like the interior, the feel and the Uncle Nearest whisky feature.

Wow. Kevin Johnson please expand to Kansas City because we NEED a restaurant like this ASAP! First of the all the service was impeccable! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and super sweet. We didn't catch her name but she had beautiful blonde curls bright smile! Everything came out to order and we had more than a few special requests. The star of the show was the oxtails! I had to include a picture of the bones because the meat came clean off with it being so hot and tender. The meat melts in your mouth and there was barely any fat, which is surprising for oxtails. Those cow not only roam free, but they must be getting massages and graze on the best grass because my husband cleaned his plate; which is extremely rare for meals outside the house. When I say if you come here and don't order these, you are making a huge mistake! Absolutely incredible and I will literally make a trip to Tulsa just to eat this. The Mac n cheese wasn't the greatest, but it wasn't bad. I love how the collard greens were made with turkey neck instead of pork like most restaurants. The lavender lemon drip was a lot better than I expected and a very pretty presentation! I didn't order the deviled eggs, but those were right up my husband's alley and he loved every bite. The cornbread muffins are HUMONGOUS and very light. Almost like a cake texture, but still moist because it was falling apart with every bite. The chicken just like the oxtail needs their own paragraph. First of all how many restaurants nowadays brine their chicken for 24 hours?! I won't hold my breath while you search for the answer lol but seriously WOW! You can tell from the flavor and how moist it is that none of this food is "fast". This food tastes like a plate you got in the 90s after church on Sunday. I don't know how Kevin and Michelle Rhee came up with this menu but they hit it out the park especially with the Kool aid in the big mason jars. Again, Kansas City needs this a place this like yesterday and I will write a personal letter to Kevin and Michelle if I need to so we can get this in the works because I feel like my life is complete I feel so full and nourished, but not heavy and tired like you get from the usual "itis" from food being doused with oil and butter. This food is literally for the soul and needs to be in every state so everyone can see what they're missing! read more

Outstanding! I absolutely never order fried chicken but I did today ater learning the fish on the menu was swai. To my surprise the fried chicken was really good, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The collards were just as good, tender, great mild seasoning with lots of flavor and nothing weird like sugar or vinegar. The mac & cheese was made with several cheeses, creamy, and baked perfectly. My corn bread muffin was a tad bit too sweet for me and very hard, although golden brown. The sweet butter that came with it didnt melt. Grits were stone ground but creamy due to the heavy cream they were cooked in. My kid said he enjoyed his mid-well burger although it looked like a pre-shaped frozen patty, but we both enjoyed his fries. I could swear the peaches in the cobbler a la mode were made with fresh peaches especially after I bit down on a piece of the pit! It was seasoned perfectly with a good balance of cinimmon and nutmeg but wayyyyyyyyy too much sugar. The sweet tea is also wayyyyyyyy to sweet. Someone else's server, Jasmine was very personable with her table and assisted us with the TV that was malfunctioning near our table. On the other hand our server, Ashley must've not have been feeling her best this evening. She just didn't match the ambience of the place or her colleagues' energy. An added bonus was knowing this establishment it part of Kevin Johnson's family of restaurants! Kudos to he and his wife! The food was fantastic! Uncle Nearest is served here-for those who know!!! read more

We have brought a lot of family/friends into town, and one of the places that we bring them is Fixins. The food is a 5 of 5, especially considering the quality relative to the price. The environment is kind of just generic new American with TVs, so I would probably give that a 4 just saying that it's fine, but not special. I would like to give this restaurant a five. I think that the food relative to the value is a five. We have had a couple of servers at the restaurant who were very attentive to some patrons and ignored us/ provided very little (zero) service. Tulsa is a strange case: we have had a lot in of history with racial tension. Usually, we have integrated and dealt with it pretty well. When I dine at Fixin's, I love the food, but I super don't feel welcome there. It makes me sad. I feel like the food is 5/5. read more

Fixin's is a soul food restaurant that was founded in Sacramento by former NBA player and Mayor, Kevin Johnson. The location in Tulsa, OK had a different meaning and feeling for me as it is located in Tulsa's Historic Black Wall Street! It was a fantastic experience to eat here solo. My server was attentive but not overbearing so I was able to enjoy my solo dinner! My dinner was delicious! I went with the oxtails, mac and cheese, and yams and everything was GREAT!

My wife, grand daughter, and I chose Fixin's as a Greenwood District experience. It was recommended to us by a local merchant. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with a distinct Afrocentric feel and flavor. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival by a very personable young man whose name escaped me. Kiara our server was very helpful with navigation of the menu and selections. Our food was tasty, hot, and presented well. The yams, greens, and black-eyed peas were awesome. My GD ordered the chicken and waffles and very pleased. The prices were on par with the quality and quantity of food received. I highly recommend Fixins if you are visiting Tulsa. read more

My group had a dinner there last night. They had the event space set up perfectly. I was nervous because there was only one waitress for our big group and one bartender. But Key and Aramis (?sp) did an AMAZING job! They were so friendly, and helpful. I do think they could've had more staff for our big group of 30, but Key and Aramis made it work! Service with a smile! Now, the food!!! Oh Em Gee!!! Delicious! Those fried deviled eggs!! Yum! Fried chicken, Greens and okra!! Yum!! The sweet potatoes.... Yum!!! The fried green tomatoes were a little thin and taste like they were cooked in the fish grease, which wasn't horrible just not what I wanted. All in all, great experience...definitely recommend!! read more

All of the above!! The food was excellent. We had fried chicken and blackened tofu and delicious sides to go with it.

We stopped by Fixins Soul Kitchen over the 4th of July weekend, and let me tell you--it was SO worth it! I came with my family, and we left full, happy, and already planning our return. I ordered the catfish with fritters, collard greens, mac and cheese, and added an à la carte chicken wing because I wanted to taste everything. Nothing disappointed. The catfish was perfectly seasoned, the collards were rich and savory, and the mac and cheese was creamy comfort in a bowl. And yes--I had the famous Kool-Aid, and it absolutely hit the spot. One of the most surprising highlights was the sorghum butter served on the side. It was light with a hint of berry, almost dessert-like in its subtle sweetness. A small touch that made a big impression! My kids had the chicken and waffles, and judging by the clean plates and happy faces, there were zero complaints. Portions are huge, so come hungry. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was a whole vibe--fun, lively, and full of energy. Will definitely be back--and you should too! read more

I've been wanting to try Fixin's since they opened and I'm glad to say it didn't disappoint. The interior is beautiful - elegant and inviting. I appreciate the modern decor with unique touches like the nostalgic artwork. Although this place stays consistently busy, when we came on a busy Saturday afternoon for lunch, our group of four didn't have to wait too long before being seated. Street parking is free on weekends with a row of parking spaces right outside of the restaurant. The food was great. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked - well seasoned and crispy on the outside. The sides were all very good as well. We tried the red beans and rice and collard greens, both were tasty. We also tried the chicken and waffles which was delicious. It is served with a side of sweet compound butter - so good! Everything on the menu looked yummy. I can't wait to come back and try the gumbo, oxtail, and smothered pork chops. Service was great. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and efficient. The owner was there at the time and came over to greet us which was fun. It was refreshing to see a celebrity owner present and actively involved in overseeing the operations, not a common sight and it speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to the quality of this establishment. This is a place we will definitely be returning to regularly. read more

Not my first time and I used to frequent the location in Los Angeles. Stopped by Fixins for a late lunch and was not disappointed. Ordered the fried deviled eggs as a starter and Kool aid.

I sometimes go to Tulsa for work. I'm never very excited to go but this restaurant has changed that. When I first walked in, I was scared that the food wasn't going to be good because of how nice and modern the decor is here. The bar and the really cool wallpaper lead me to believe that this place was going to be more trendy than delicious but I was wrong! Everything tastes like it's made fresh and from scratch. I arrived during happy hour and didn't feel much like drinking but I definitely took advantage of their discounted appetizer and went with the Mac N Cheese Balls. I chose this as I was having trouble deciding on the side dishes for my meal and this allowed me to eliminate Mac N Cheese from the list. For my meal, I went with the Smothered Chicken. Perfectly fried and smothered in the most delicious roux gravy. For my two sides, I went with the Chard Okra w bacon and the Red Beans and rice. The former has leas me to believe that okra is meant to be chard and the latter was a perfect combo that was not as heavy as I expected. Their branded hot sauce was complimentary on everything as well. Employees here are super nice and seem to enjoy working here. I will definitely be going back! read more
