I hadn't been there in many years, but our youngest grandson had a 16th birthday coming up, so my wife and I took him out for a steak in a cool place that he had not heard of before!! Yep, the food was great, and then we took a tour of the inside, and then the outside, to see all of the antique and old fashioned advertising, logos, tools, pump jacks, etc., enjoying all that an old redneck like me, who worked overseas in the oil patch for 9 years back in the 80's! Yep, good times and memories! read more

We had reservations and were taken to our table when we arrived. The steak is one of my favorites in Tulsa. Rolls are served in old metal lunchboxes much like a roughneck would have with him from days gone by. Servers are friendly and it has a really cool old signs and oil company memoribelia from Tulsa's oil history. It's off the beaten path and one of Tulsa's hidden gems. read more

The Spudder Restaurant - Filet and baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Yes! We had a party of 5, our waitress was terrific, food was spot on, the server even bagged our leftovers. I had the salmon and their famous tomato soup. Highly recommend! My only disappointment was they no longer have cobbler for dessert. BTW the rest of the group had filets and loved them! read more

From the moment we drove up to The Spudder Restaurant, I could tell we were going to have a good time! The restaurant is a little hidden, but definitely worth turning into what looked like a residential area. The outside of the building was interesting looking and there was a huge piece of equipment right outside their door. We walked in and were greeted warmly and enthusiastically by two members of their staff and one of them quickly ushered us to a comfortable booth. Looking around, their cool, retro oil company decor was everywhere and entertained us, bringing back memories from long ago. I wish I could recall our kind and cheerful waitress. She is the one whom we told at that moment we had been married 47 years, 4 months, 4 days, 8 hours and 1 minute. Anyway, she took great care of us all evening. Their menu was varied enough that we all got exactly what we wanted. My Better-half got one of their beef filet dinners. I wasn't too hungry so I chose 3 of their appetizers. The crab cakes were very well seasoned and quite good and although I am used to crab cakes with more crab, I enjoyed them. I also ordered their stuffed mushrooms and their fried chicken livers, both prepared well and, again, seasoned well. Our other fellow diner ordered their tomato soup. I had a spoonful of it and it was the best tomato soup I've ever had, including my own recipe. My Better- half and I both took home doggy bags, promising to buy a dog on the way home. We had a great experience there and left full and happy. Next time we are in Tulsa, we will definitely stop in for another good meal. Bonus! I also learned what Spudder was! I erroneously thought the name referred to potatoes! read more

Wasn't impressed with either the steak or potato soup. Get better at Texas Roadhouse for much less money

The service was not very attentive. I had to get up and find someone to refill drinks and I had to get up and find to -go boxes, but the people were kind. It was extremely busy and then we found out it was gun show weekend. They need to be staff heavy on busy weekends like that. The food was great !! read more

I was excited to come here for my father in laws birthday dinner; I got the baby back ribs (I thought they must be good) boy was I wrong the smell alone made me not want to eat it; I have Ms so I have an issue chewing sometimes, was too tough for me to eat and barely any bbq it's like it was put on when I ordered vs being marinated and cooked low for hours I'm going to try to make them edible at home. Husband ended up getting a prime rib was decent I choked on it but the salad was good but real start in my opinion was loaded potato; next time we're going to mahogany. Mother in law liked her lamb chops which is good because she never likes anything but everyone else liked their meals but we won't be coming back. read more

We have lived here almost all of our lives and have never tried this place. On a scale of 1-10 it's a solid 5. My husband ordered the New York Strip and I had the ribeye. We were both disappointed. The steaks were thin and lacked flavor other than salt. The appetizer was room temperature at best. (Stuffed mushrooms) Our drinks were great and the potato soup was good(ish). The ambience was cute and nostalgic. Our service was excellent. We didn't complain nor did we send anything back. Sometimes you understand that food is what it is. read more

Overall a very good meal. I found the bread in the lunch pail very endearing. Bonus points for it being Peanuts. The Caesar salad was fantastic. We'd probably skip the ribs next time- they were a bit tough. Steaks were both cooked great. I don't think I'd do the peppercorn crust next time - it wasn't bad but it was a little much for my liking. Service was always very friendly and helpful. read more

Possibly one of the best fillets I've ever had in my life. During my first trip to Oklahoma, a few people told me about the storied Spudder restaurant. I made a point of taking a few friends out to dinner there, with the hope that I wasn't making some sort of tragic culinary mistake. There was absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Spudder is the real deal: a nice, low-key, high quality steakhouse that also serves a mean Cornish hen, according to one of my friends. The ambiance is a hoot, and the service was superb. The next time I'm in Tulsa, I will absolutely be going back. read more

The Spudder Restaurant - Steakhouses Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

This is such a low key and nostalgic place with lots of oil and gas history and memorabilia. The staff is super friendly. We had stuffed mushrooms, potato and tomato soup. I had their filet and my friend had their pork tenderloin and everything was delicious. Loved that the rolls come in throwback lunch pails. Desserts weren't anything to write home about. Great place to enjoy good food and laidback atmosphere. read more

A great place for a good steak at a reasonable price. Not a real big place and if you are interested in oil memoriabilia this is the place to go. You will need to make a reservation to assure you have a table. read more

Steak was cooked just right. Service was great. Pre uses did have a musty odor maybe because it is old ? Happy with the food. Prices could be a little better but then again it is a steakhouse. read more

The pork chop and baby back ribs were really good. Loved the rolls in the lunch pail. Chicken livers were not the best that I've ever had but all in all a good dining experience. Just wanted to post the drink menu because I like looking at things in advance. :) read more

The Spudder Restaurant - Specialty Drinks - Steakhouses Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Oh I thought I'd already reviewed... Ehem, anyway. I had called ten other restaurants in Tulsa to ask what kind of oil is used for their fries. They were all saying, "soybean, soy, vegetable, canola." I cannot eat any of those anymore. Dr. Paul Saladino MD explained how toxic those oils are. I called this place and they said, "Tallow oil!" I was so excited. The owner was there and he was very nice and professional. He explained that using real oil, saves him thousands every year. He keeps vegetable oil just in case of emergency but hasn't had to use it for years. That's really respectable because vegetable oil is toxic in my opinion. This place is modeled after all the oil drilling companies in Oklahoma. They have signs, oil drilling machines, and many different representations of many of the gas stations that have been in Oklahoma. Some have passed on. Some are still current. Come here to see the oil industry decor and have a great, healthy meal! Thanks y'all! I'll probably be back more often for healthy frying oils! read more

Cozy ambience. Simple and amazing food. Nice service. We will be back! Entrees come with a potato soup, salad and baked potato read more

I came here with a large group last week for a business event. The staff was super accommodating. We had a group of 15 and three servers tag teaming our table. I eat out a lot for business and was very impressed at the teamwork displayed by the staff. The manager came by three times to chit chat and tell jokes, not your regular checkin to see how things are going. Most of the table had steak, all of us where externally happy with our meal. I was really surprised to see chicken livers on the menu. Not something I have seen in a restaurant in decades. The prices were also very affordable, surprisingly so. Excellent job guys ! read more

This is a traditional steakhouse that has been around 40+ years. Great steaks, baked potatoes, and rolls. Housemade blue cheese dressing. Full bar. Kitschy interior with lots of petroliana (antiques related to oil and gas). Our booth was private, and the noise level was low. read more

Service was great, the waitress staged our order in a timely manner so appetizers, salads, etc came to the table in a timely manner and not worrying about a cold entree. Food was very good and cooked to order. read more

This is my GOAT restaurant!! What an awesome steak!! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great dining experience

Pricey but great steaks. Atmosphere with all the oilfield signs was cool. Will definitely be back.

Ok, who doesn't love a local legend. The service is always great. The atmosphere is casual and old school at the same time. Now, those steaks! I have to be honest that I've never had anything but the steaks. When in Rome! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. If you want a great experience with equally great food this is your place! read more

We recently visited the Spudder for a birthday celebration. We started the evening with an appetizer of Ahi Tuna which was okay but dry like it had sat for a while before being served. That should have been a clue for the rest of the evening. Next we ordered a 16 oz KC Strip, a 14 oz ribeye, and the "gusher" which is their 22 oz bone-in ribeye. Each coming with potato soup, salad, and baked potato or fries. The potato soup was in need of flavor and served lukewarm at best. The salad was obviously fresh from the walk-in with wilted lettuce and vegetables. The baked potato came with the steak and was warmer than the steak itself. The steak was cold to the touch and was sent back to the kitchen. The steaks were obviously just thrown back on the grill to warm them up which resulted in them being dry and overcooked. Overall a disappointing birthday dinner. read more

Well being from Texas I think my take on steaks is pretty high. We ordered the bone in ribeye. Great flavor, I think it was slightly over cooked. But still delicious with the blue cheese butter on top. Came with baked potato, and potato soup(I found odd but ok) and a salad. Not a bad deal. Also ordered stuffed mushrooms which were very good. Overall it was a great place. read more

Oh, where do I begin? We called around 5 p.m. to make a reservation. After speaking with an employee who had the manners of a pirate, a reservation for 7:30 p.m. was confirmed. My party of four arrived early and were seated immediately, as there were at most four occupied tables the entire visit. Our server, Erin, was rather sour from the start. We ordered our food within 10 minutes of being seated. Miss Erin's attitude only continued to sour as this experience progressed. After a 50-minute wait from the time of ordering, our food arrived lukewarm, with a side of condescension and a heaping basket of crassness. Based on the tragic excuse for tomato soup and the obscene Caesar salad, I had low expectations for the pork tenderloin, and rightfully so. Once she dropped off the slop, it was as if Miss Erin fell off the face of the earth despite the vacancy of this underwhelming establishment. With 15 minutes till close, our waitress decided it appropriate to ask us if we needed boxes as none of us had eaten even half of the entrees we ordered. After another 5 minutes of our lives squandered in this hellscape, my card was returned. No thank you or have a good night. She just waddled off into the distance. I am ashamed that I spent nearly $200 to be treated as if I was a leper begging for scraps. read more

My dad has hyped up this old-fashion steakhouse for years and I finally had the opportunity to join him for a meal. I ordered the ribeye which comes with bread, potato soup, a house salad and a side of fries or baked potato. Here's some of my thoughts broken down: - the potato soup is not baked potato soup as expected--yet somehow, it's better. Creamy, garlicky and absolutely delicious. - the ranch and the blue cheese dressings are absolutely fantastic. I used both to dip my fries in and drenched my salad in the ranch - amazing! -the steak had a solid grill line and a superb flavor profile. Lots of buttery notes paired with a little bit of char and juicy steak. read more

The Spudder has delicious steaks for sure! Potato soup was average. Rolls were good. Very expensive for the atmosphere - you're charged like it's a fancy steakhouse but feel like you're eating in an old garage. read more

This is a Tulsa hidden gem! Food is amazing , great service and such a unique ambiance. We are still gushing about the Gusher steak!!!!

Service was great, and the food was excellent. This restaurant was a referral from our hotel. The guy had a list of restaurants, and The Spudder was listed first. Glad we went with the first one listed. read more

Rude waitress/ bartender. She is not a hostess. Steaks came out cold the 1st time then they reheated a medium rare steak which now became well done not to mention the no knives to cut the food my 16oz steak was smaller than the 12oz those were $50 each- not to mention the 22oz gusher that was $74 looked more like a 16oz steak all over cooked and cold, wilted lettuce on the salads extremely dry tuna as an appetizer. Had they came back and checked on us after bringing us our food and dumping it and running off. I would have sent it back. The potato soup that was pretty gross. Chunks of old potatoes, an off brand can soup with water would have tasted a lot better. Sad spending $250.00 on dinner just to go across the street to taco bueno should say something. On a positive note the secondary staff bus boys did an amazing job very good at paying attention. Too bad the rest of the staff wasn't like that. This place wasn't even good enough to consider even having a do over. The website states appropriate dress lol. Button down shirt with jeans and dress shoes were way to formal. read more

We asked several locals and all of them recommended this for a Tulsa experience. Insanely yummy food and such a cool atmosphere!

We arrived @ 7:30, and had a short 10-15 minute wait. Waitress, was sweet. Service was slow but efficient. The food was not my favorite. I ordered my steak "blue rare." They did an excellent job! HOWEVER, I ordered it without spices and seasonings. It came with so much salt on it, I could barely eat it. My guest didn't have the same dietary requirements but he agreed, his steak was too salty. He had the ribeye and I had the filet. I ordered the risotto. Again, too much salt AND GARLIC. He loves garlic and said he couldn't taste anything but GARLIC. We won't be back, but the history of "the sputter" of oil was interesting read more

Went with a large group. Reservations had been made so they were expecting us. Large variety of steaks, chicken, pork and even seafood. Great service. Food came out in a timely manner and no one had to wait for their food read more

Service was marginal. Waitress basically threw food at us as she went by. She was more focused on her large table. If busy don't bother. Come when staff has time for you. Food is usually very good and on point. Not the steak tonight. 6oz filet was dry and over cooked for medium rare order. Disappointed. Gave me aus jus to soak my steak/filet in. Sad. Do not come here to mark a special occasion. Wait staff does not care about you. Get in and get out is the vibe. Ambiance is same. Old and dirty. Bathrooms are clean and updated. Good luck. read more

Midweek birthday party meal with extended family. Our waitress was very attentive and patient with some of our party (there was ten of use) so bless her. Soup was good, bread was great, salad was OK. Steak was subpar. For the price, I would personally go elsewhere but most of the group enjoyed their food better than we did. read more

Traditional Steakhouse that has very comfortable surrounds with a bar. Petroleum industry based themes from the wildcat days of the Oklahoma oil boom. Pretty cool. I had a filet w: tomato soup and baked potato. It's a great place to get as advertised steak & potatoes with a nice glass of wine. I would visit again if in town. Unique location , seems to be the only building that hasn't changed through the years since 1976. read more

Hi. No one will ever find me here. I'm a petite Asian woman. My peeps would maybe place me at a chained restaurant that serves coffee and a salad. Really, they would! A tin box filled with fresh bread just came to the table. How cute! The bread is a star! It's fresh, fluffy, and innocent. I just ordered the chicken livers and ahi appetizers. Bad mom. I encouraged my 8 year to try the fried livers knowing that the livers being fried, would be disguised into something else. She liked it...MIKEY liked it! I liked them. They came with horseradish dip, which is a little horse-radishy for me. So Ranch dressing came and did its thang. I love liver. Never had it prepared that way before, but yeah, they were good. Delicious house potato soup, YUM, yum. The ahi was ok. I expected a fresher looking presentation since it is fish, but it was good. The super star of the night is Spudder's medium cooked ribeye! We also ordered the petite filet also cooked medium, but I feel that the ribeye, and the flavor, along with its lightly embellished fattiness, was just doggone fantastic. I topped it off with their sautéed mushrooms - and it was pretty! Owwww! Gotta wind down now. Finished my merlot, and had a few bites of my daughters pick, the chocolate mousse cake. Denise our waitress was awesome. BAM! What a night! read more

Great place to take your significant other for a date night. No need to get all dressed up as casual dress is very appropriate. We had a reservation for 6:30 on Saturday night, but didn't need one as only 60% of the tables had patrons. At our table we were immediately greeted by our very attentive waitress, April. She helped explain the menu and options that were to be had, and took our drink order, and was off line a flash. Then came the bread in a lunch box everyone talks about. It was still warm so the butter melted within seconds. I had to stop myself after two huge rolls so as not to spoil my dinner. I ordered the 12 oz ribeye and opted for a side of sliced dill zucchini. The wife had the filet and loaded baked potato. These both come with soup. W had the potato soup. She had the tomato soup. The potato soup was kind of meh, but the tomato was off the hook. It was kind of like a chili cause it was loaded with so much flavor and had a great texture. We had salads too which were not too large, nor small. The ribeye was cooked medium rare to perfection. It had a seared crust on the outside which kept all the juiciness in the steak. There was a bit of fat on it, but that is common with ribeyes. The filet also had a nice sear and was grilled to a pink medium. Both steaks couldn't have been any better. Then came the question if we wanted dessert or not. We only thought they had cobbler cause that's what was on the menu, but April wowed us with the dessert tray. There was a lot to choose from, but we were too full from dinner to partake. Maybe next time. Overall: very well done Spudder. We shall return. read more
