It must have been bought out as It is now listed as Vera Cafe on billing statement . The salad I ordered to take on the plane was okay but not worth $20. I asked the waitress what she recommended since the two items I wanted they no longer made. I don't know when they changed hands but instead of recommending the half chicken for $8 on special which would have been more than enough to feed me and have another meal the next day she suggested fried okra I said no thank you I don't like that. You think should let people know what the specials are. She seemed to cater to regulars. read more

After three years my wife and I gave Golden Saddle another try.the restaurant was clean, but could use a facelift. Our waitress Nicole was fantastic. We ordered onion strings as an appetizer, my wife ordered fried chicken strips with fries and side salad, I ordered half fried chicken with fries and salad. The onion strings were good but pricy. My wife's chicken strip dinner was good, my half chicken turned out to be chicken fried chicken. Our waitress Nicole told me about the mistake and left the chicken fry to eat while the cook prepared my fried chicken. We read more

It is a very run down old restaurant. The staff were very friendly. The food however for me was a let down. I felt the menu is way to mixed and not sure how they keep up with all the options. They are also overpriced, especially compared to other restaurants with home cooking. I tried the half order of the biscuits and gravy. I asked what kind of gravy and the waiter said they had sausage gravy. I said that sounds good. Sadly there was a $2 up charge for the sausage gravy and I was not told about this. It was a decent amount of food but the gravy was very watery and did not have much flavor other than the sausage definitely not worth the $10. I paid for two biscuits and sausage gravy. my friend had their meatloaf and she has had it before and really enjoyed her food but I can't believe they charged $14 for meatloaf and two small sides. This is not a place I would ever return to. read more

I discovered this place through DoorDash and a $10 off offer. Craving some home cookin' so I ordered. Guys, guys, guys.... best fried chicken EVER. BBQ ribs... phenomenal. Wonderful BBQ sauce with a little kick. I wasn't crazy about the baked beans or coleslaw but everyone has very different opinions on what makes those sides yummy. Chili is excellent. Definitely something for everyone! Excellent quality, BIG servings! read more

Get the chefs special. It's a terrific medley of Middle Eastern cuisine that you wouldn't expect.

I was looking forward to this little place thanks to the strong reviews and great menu. I started with a delivered order of salmon and meat lovers omelet, both of which we enjoyed. So we picked up another order today. The fried green tomatoes were bad, and had no seasoning, unless you count the flavor of whatever has been collecting in the fryer for the last 20 years. The house made chicken pot pie looked promising, but again no seasoning! And the pot roast potato... what a colossal disappointment. Flavorless meat, no pot roasted veggies, just random fresh veg like it's a burger. What a waste of $30. On a positive note, I love their strawberry tea!!! read more

I did not have high expectations for this restaurant, based on its location, but I should have remembered that hole-in-the-wall restaurants are often the best. My party of six ordered all kinds of foods, from breakfast, to the typical American dishes, to the kabobs. It was all amazing and the portions were very generous. To top it off, our waitress was the friendliest and most helpful waitress I have had in a long, long time. I wish we had had room for pie, but we'll come back another time for that! read more

Fantastic food. We only had to eat here once to decide they would cater our next event. And ever since, we've had Golden Saddle cater everything from large celebrations, Boy Scouts Blue and Gold Banquets and small dinner parties. We've never had anyone leave hungry because they always make sure to have extra. Everyone at the restaurant is courteous, friendly and will go out of their way to make your experience and interaction with them delightful and memorable. The owner is a large donor to local children's charities and organizations so that alone makes me want to support this business. read more

We weren't sure about this place, the food was very very good, the staff was friendly and the portions were huge! Give it a try

The first time we came here, the place was so crowded we could barely find a place to sit. But, the food made it worth the effort. That was five years ago. We're in town for a bird show and dropped in for lunch. I ordered a mushroom swiss burger, and was pleased to find out that they use Real Swiss cheese. Hot, fresh, fantastic! The cheese fries for my appetizer was enormous and the bacon on them was so good! My wife had a curry baked chicken and it was great! Moist, deliciously spiced with a hint of chili powder, I may order it next time we come. The service from the one and only server on the floor was phenomenal. She kept her cool despite the fact that the restaurant just kept filling up. Great work! Great marks all the way around. read more

Ask for the Mediterranean menu!! (They don't hand it out automatically with their diner menu) This is now my favorite go-to spot and it's because of their Mediterranean food. So good! And it's easily enough for 2 people because you get hummus, pita bread, falafels, rice, etc with the entrees. Love this place, truly a hidden gem in Tulsa. read more

Loved it! We came in during a break from the Admiral Drive In car show and we all left stuffed! The all you can eat for $9.95 was well worth it! The ribs and sausages were my fave. The cobblers were really good as well. They had tvs playing the games for those that care/worry about that kind of thing. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Only improvement I would make would be to have better sides on the buffet. There were green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes... I am just used to mac and cheese and or okra with my bbq but it was all good! read more

THIS PLACE SHOULD BE ON THE FOOD CHANNEL!!! Go here for the Persian food! And all except the pita bread and falafel are gluten free!! We had tried Persian cuisine in San Francisco and loved it but didn't think it existed in Tulsa town. It has become so popular at the Golden Saddle that they offer it all the time! So we ordered the Chef's Special each, we didn't share it but you can. Let's just say that I have a very healthy lunch for the next day... So before you entree arrives you get some hummus, falafel, a special "salad" that more like a savory chutney, pita bread and raita ( a savory yogurt sauce). So since I can't have the bread or falafel they gave me some veggies for dipping and some of the chutney. And I don't mean a few baby carrots but a healthy amount of cauliflower, broccoli, green onion, carrots, radish, cucumber and grape tomatoes! That impressed me- I've been in fine restaurants that couldn't accommodate. I mean what is the point of having hummus if you don't have anything to dip it in, right? After that we both were served an enormous platter filled with 2 kinds of rice, baked lamb, a lamb rib( my personal favorite!), kebab chicken and ground beef kebab. They were out of baked chicken but who cared? There was so much food, and very well spiced and expertly cooked so that it was cooked all the way without being tough. I've had lamb ribs at way more expensive trendy places that were undercooked and frankly not as tasty. We didn't try any other food on the menu but some folks in line to pay before us reported the hen house burger was very good. The service was friendly and the ambiance homey and the tables were very clean. This used to be a place full of closed in booths called "Ma Bell's" where each table had a phone and you phoned in your order! I remember going there in the 80's. We plan on returning and bringing friends! read more

Had to kill some time until a car dealership opened up , so we decided to get some breakfast. I also wasn't quite sure of it because of the location but decided to stop and give it a try, and it was amazing! Food was delicious and service was great! They make their bread from scratch!!!! Will be back to try lunch and dinner! I am interested in trying their fried green tomatoes and Pies! read more

I had the chopped brisket dinner with Okra and baked beans, and my wife had the baked chicken dinner. The food was pretty good, and quantities. The BBQ sauce had good flavor. Overall it was very enjoyable. However in a head to head competition, I think that Apple Barrel restaurant about 9 miles due south, is a much more pleasant atmosphere. read more

Went here for lunch with a companion who had eaten there a couple of years back and had enjoyed the Persian specials. So we ordered the Special, and it was truly one of the best meals, period, I've had in a long time. Started with appetizer bowl of Persian celery stew, which was tender chunks of savory beef, delicious broth containing celery stalks and leaves, mint, parsley, lemon, olive oil, and lots of secret herbs & spices. So delicious! It came with some fluffy flatbread, a tangy sauce similar to tzatziki, and a tomato corn olive and capers relish. Great start! We couldn't believe the gorgeous platter when it came out. A bed of yellow and white fluffy, yet not dry, basmati rice was covered with an assortment of meats and garnishes. Tender, juicy chunks of marinated chicken breast, beef kabob strips, roasted chicken simmered in a tangy tomatillo-tomato sauce, a braised lamb shank, and two grilled lamb chops were garnished with a large, fresh basil sprig. Everything was done perfectly. The only sounds coming from my table were the moans and sighs of pleasure when trying every item, lol! The care and pride of the owner in showcasing his native dishes is evident in every bite. Even the rice could have starred in its own separate offering! They also offered a lunch buffet of barbecued meats, catfish, fried chicken, and sides which looked good, but I don't know how it could compare to the Persian dishes. My friend and I will definitely return to feast again, he's as eager to go back as I am. We are both professional cooks, and can really appreciate handcrafted menu items, and can tell when a cook loves his or her job! read more

Golden Saddle BBQ Steakhouse - Tasted as wonderful as it looked. The aroma was tantalizing! - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Jeez Louise! The buffett was HORRIBLE! there were several items on there, that I had NO IDEA what they were. I tried them and couldnt take more than 2 bites. I got a big scoop of brisket, and I had to force myself to eat 3 bites, it had some weird metallic taste to it, even drowned in BBQ sauce was still inedible. The "homemade" rolls, were nuked. and hard. The fried chicken was pretty greasy, and unedible. The mashed taters were instant. and actually edible. the only thing decent about this place was the Mellow Yellow. And refills. I paid 10.87 for this crap. read more

Very pricey,but if you want good food to feed your gut,this is the place.the chorizo breakfast platter is the bomb

Most BBQ joints are closed Sunday, so I stepped inside this place. Before I did tho, I noticed the doors were filthy. Not a welcoming sign. They had what looked like a buffet available, but the food looked sad and old and dry... I opted for another more expensive BBQ joint just because I didn't want diarrhea on the road. Full disclosure, I didn't order any food, but was turned off by the lack of cleanliness/care that seemed to be the attitude here. read more

I was skeptical, but previous reviews were excellent. Gave this place a try and wow it did not disappoint. My server was very attentive and on point. I ordered a full slab of ribs as it was one of the dishes she recommended. I must say they were excellent fall off the bone tender with amazing taste. Unfortunately I was on,y able to eat 1/3 of the plate as the meat pile of ribs was overwhelming, but I must say that the ribs were just as good the next day. Great place, large portions, and they do a large number of take out as well. read more

We saw billboards for the $5 burger special. You truly get what you pay for. The Burgers seemed like this frozen pre formed patties you can buy at any grocery store. Same with the fries, the crinkle cut fries looked like ore Ida frozen fries out of the bag. The atmosphere was just ok. The waitress' looked like former strippers & meth heads. They did their job but weren't too happy and or air heads. Looked at the buffet & it didn't look too appetizing. Flies flying around didn't help. What I hate most of all & is totally rude is when someone sweeps below your feet when you are eating. If you want cheap though I guess it's worth it. 3 of us ate for $14 dollars. read more

This place is unique. Persian food, steaks, BBQ. Friendly service, copious quantities. We thought on this frigid evening it was exactly what we needed. Tom couldn't believe he was leaving a restaurant with tasty food without eating everything in sight. Darling waiter. Good service. read more

I've been to Golden Saddle twice in the past few months and I have had great food both times. The service was EXCEPTIONAL the first time. For the second visit, I think we showed up during a shift change or something because I actually had to go find our server to get refills. That sucks but I know that one hour of a waitress being bad at her job shouldn't ruin your opinion of a place. I've never had their BBQ because that's not what I go for. They have a Persian menu. I have ordered the "Chefs Special" twice from that section. It is a feast with chicken, lamb(IT IS SO GOOD), beef, two kinds of rice, pita bread, hummus, fallafel and salad bar. Only for $9.99. The salad bar may not suffice for a vegetarian's longing for veggies but it features tabouli!! Which was exceptional. read more

2nd time back in 2 days. Very good food and hospitality. Laid back atmosphere. Breakfast is wonderful, lots of choices on the buffet. Lunch buffet looks great too. Well worth coming for a visit. read more

The service was great - friendly and very much on top of refills and whatnot, and I do love the flavor of the BBQ sauce and liked the variety of items on the buffet, but I really can't go more than 3 stars. See, for some reason there were no ribs on the buffet itself (those I went with who have been here several times said that this is unusual), and the ribs they brought to the table (yes, one at a time per person, which is cool, I get that) were the kind that the waiter admitted are not the ones people usually ask for since they were the kind with a lot of fat and a lot of little bones or other "it used to be an animal" type reminders I prefer not to think about a whole bunch instead of the good and hearty kind with one big bone and a whole bunch of savage style eating to be done off of said bone (not sure the technical names of either kind). On the buffet side, the mashed potatoes and gravy really didn't do it for me, but the baked beans and pinto beans and corn were the perfect companions to the ribs that were delicious even if they were a pain in the butt to eat. There were other non-buffet menu items, and the person who went that route was kind enough to share her onion rings which really were pretty darn yummy. I think David C was pretty much right on with 3 stars. read more

The building is in dire need of a makeover. Let's just get that out of the way right now. If ambiance is of ANY concern to you, this is not the place for you. I got the lunch buffet. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any of the Mediterranean dishes I had read about, but you play the hand you're dealt. There is a CRAZY amount of variety on that buffet. For starters, there is soup (which I missed because it shared a steam table with the dessert... alas) and salad. In the salad section, the highlights were the surprisingly-flavorful potato salad, cole slaw, and pasta salad. The tabouli was a bit under-seasoned for me, but tabouli is a very subjective thing. All in all, it was a nice starter. On to the main event. I know I won't remember it all, but here's what I can recall: ham (the real kind with a bone in the middle), smoked chicken, beef ribs, pulled pork, pulled beef, two kinds of hot links, bologna, fried chicken, fried catfish, fried mushrooms, cooked carrots, sauteed mushrooms, corn, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, fried potatoes-and-onions (addictive... I had thirds), and two hot pasta dishes. I wouldn't do the hot pasta dishes again. For dessert we had a homemade apple cobbler. Two kinds of house sauces, so you can mix it up and find your niche. Surprisingly, my favorites were the fried chicken and catfish. They appear to use a cornmeal breading technique as opposed to battering, which gave them both a nice light-yet-crispy texture. I ate two pieces of catfish without using any sauce at all. I didn't have the "ribs brought to the table" experience some other reviewers had. They were on the buffet itself. They weren't baby-backs or anything awesome like that, but you felt like you had "ribbed." If you have a hankering for BBQ, this will certainly fill the bill. It isn't cheap, but it's a reasonable price considering you get a three-course meal out of it. Staff is friendly and attentive. All in all, it's a good BBQ fix for those of us old enough to remember Frank's. read more

It's a diner, plain and simple. The chicken salad sandwich is what I assume leftover chicken from the day before and the carrots are hard. It all does taste good, it's just as if I would have had my own leftovers at home. The prices are really reasonable and the waiters are extremely kind and helpful. They have the customers sit themselves so that's nice to be able to sit where you want to. read more

This is an absolute go to in Tulsa! Had two tableside Mediterranean buffets to go. Couldn't eat it all, but gave it our best and our boxer dog finished the rest. He apparently has a penchant for Persian cuisine. Friendly staff and customers who truly care about their locals and out-of-towners alike. Heard a guy ordering, "one more piece of pie to go,...a big one!" Great experience. Totally worth stopping for in Tulsa. read more
