Very solid dining establishment. Great bar environment with good food and drinks. I had the deviled eggs, stayed away from the trio. My friend had fish & chips which he said was a 5 star meal. The setting is perfect for date night. Nothing like good food and good drinks. read more

Service was great .. we had a large party .. work related and our server was great . I didn't handle the ticket so I didn't get her name . Appetizers were awesome .... bacon popcorn, shrimp dip, and deviled eggs . All great Entrees came out on time and everyone seemed to enjoy. I had the prairie creek pork chop . I've had meats from PC at other restaurants and always enjoyed . This pork chop was super fatty and tough . Should not have been served . Very disappointing . Have had good experiences here in the past . This was not one of them . Hoping for better experience in the future. To leave on a positive note the green chile grits almost made up for it read more

An absolute go to! Beautiful dimly lit dark wood and French bistro curtain decor. PROFESSIONAL servers and bartenders. Creative seasonal menus excellently prepared. We particularly enjoyed the roasted beet and labdneh appetizer. And my bone-in Pork Chop with roasted poblano crema, butternut mole, salsa macha brussels and pickled red onion was unbelievable.

The Tavern is my kind of place: dark, moody, elevated, and with amazing service. I had the pleasure of visiting here for a late night meal on my most recent trip to Tulsa, and enjoyed a lovely, extra-dirty vodka martini while awaiting a dish of what was possibly the best mac & cheese I've ever tried. I like to sit at the bar when I'm traveling solo, and the vibe was perfect. Add in a friendly bartender, super fresh house salad, and decent prices and it was the perfect end to my last evening in town. Highly recommend adding this to your Tulsa bucket list! read more

Great birthday dinner with The Breakfast Club! I had the Tavern burger (tip: get additional mushroom sauce for your fries!). He had the fish and chips which he said was the best in Tulsa. He ranks 1) The Taven, 2) Bishop Quigley and 3) Kilkenny's for Fish and Chips but you can't go wrong with any of the three. Great gathering place with a robust happy hour crowd and always reliable great service. read more

We sat at the bar for an early dinner on First Friday. Service was amazing (as always). I do wish they had a pitcher option for those Bengali Gimlets. Oh, my! Confession: I have never had the Tavern burger. Literally every time we're here I vow to order it and then get a kale salad or pasta. I finally did it and it was great. I think the frites have changed a bit but are still good. They have switched over to the spring menu so some things have changed. This place is always a great and consistent option in the Arts District! read more

I came to this lovely local haunt late on a Saturday night because I know their kitchen stays open until 1 am (I was here at 10pm, but it's good to know your options). The bartenders were both attentive. I ordered the Caribbean moon which was lovely and packed a bit of a punch (fair warning ) and the late night half price burger. read more

The staff here were cool. Our waitress was a doll but the food wasn't great and we are visiting so we wanted to love it based on Yelp reviews. The kale Caesar wasn't a kale salad, not sure what greens were used, but it definitely wasn't any kale greens I know, I'm from the west coast. The dressing was so overpowering, I couldn't even eat it all. Too much salad dressing! Mac N Cheese was too spicy for our taste . Great portion and if you are cool with spicy stuff you will enjoy it. It's a great place, classy for sure but I will try it again and order different things. read more

First time at the tavern for lunch. The food was just okay! I had the chicken fried steak and split the Mac and cheese. The presentation of the chicken fried steak was great but the overall taste was a little underwhelming, the meat was a little tough. But the mac and cheese was pretty good, a bit spicy but overall would definitely have the Mac and cheese again. read more

So nice I went twice...in one week. First up was brunch with my mom, which was excellent. Our server was so fun and super attentive. We shared the Bacon Popcorn (because duh). She got the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque, which she loved. I'm a bit of an Avocado Toast connoisseur, so I could resist. Theirs was delicious, and it was the perfect portion size. Next up was a pre-dinner drink and snack with my husband. The bartender recommended the Tikka Masala Hummus, and it was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. So many flavors that work perfectly together. For cocktails, I got the Fall Forward, which was like a much better version of a margarita. And my husband got the Bacon-Infused Old Fashioned, which was killer! We've been before, and we'll be back! read more

It was time for a late lunch and the tavern seemed like a good option. Our server gave us good suggestions. I had the fish and chips which was a large piece of fish, very crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The dining room is well kept and comfortable. This is a good choice any time of day. read more

A trip to Tulsa I ended up having lunch with business associates at The Tavern Nice place, very good food. Starters included a Deviled Eggs- 3 ways Bacon, Sriracha and Mustard. Sriracha was the best! We also chose the Angry Mac n Cheese to split - another great choice. This had a nice kick to it! I chose the French Dip w/Fries. One of the better French Dips I've had. I'm not a big fan of skinny fries but these were actually pretty good! My two business partners chose the Fish and the other was Chicken Fried Steak, both enjoyed their meal. Might have to return to try other items on the menu. read more

The Tavern has been a staple in downtown Tulsa for over a decade. It's long been celebrated for having one of the best, if not the best burger in Oklahoma. Part of the McNellie's Group, I've reviewed several of their restaurants, including Bull in the Alley, City Hall Steakhouse, and Mr. Kim's, the latter being a favorite. On the recommendation of Adam Green of Mac's Barbeque and accompanied by Rick Shaw, I was eager to see what chef Austin Plumlee new fall menu had to offer. Bacon Popcorn This elevated popcorn features a wonderful salty sweet caramel-esque crust intermixed with delightful tiny bits of bacon. The sweet/salty combination is delightful and a great replacement for traditional pub snack mix. Tikka Masala Hummus The hummus dish features curried chicken, cilantro lime yogurt, chili crunch, and grilled pita bread, offering a unique and delicious twist. The initial flavor notes include warm spices like cumin, cardamom, coriander, and cinnamon, which blend seamlessly into the nutty chickpea middle. End notes of chili, cooling yogurt, and spiced chicken complete each bite. This exotic take on hummus highlights Chef Plumlee's expert balance of spices, ensuring all components work harmoniously to elevate the dish. It's a well-executed and flavorful offering. Roasted Beets Beets are coated in a blackberry vinaigrette, paired with horseradish labneh, and topped with pepita dukkah for a delightful contrast in flavors and textures. The sweet, earthy beets are complemented by creamy, tangy notes from the labneh, while the blackberry vinaigrette adds a sweet and slightly salty kick. The pepita dukkah brings a nutty crunch, elevating the dish with a satisfying balance of flavors. This is another excellent offering, showcasing both creativity and harmony in its ingredients. Tavern Burger The vaunted Tavern Burger features a challah bun, Stilton cheese, mushroom cognac cream, and shoestring fries. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, each bite begins with the bold, funky notes of Stilton, giving way to rich beef and earthy mushroom flavors, complemented by the soft, slightly sweest challah. The burger is succulent and hearty, though the fries were a touch too salty. One criticism: the Stilton occasionally overpowered the beef, however overall, this is a beautiful burger that lives up to its reputation. Roasted Chicken The chicken, sourced from Prairie Creek Farms, is cooked to perfection and served atop a rich duck fat gravy, accompanied by gnocchi, parmesan, and a drizzle of charred onion truffle oil. The crisp chicken skin and smoky onion notes evoke comforting flavors, reminiscent of Thanksgiving. The gnocchi adds a dumpling-like texture, similar to chicken pot pie. However, the gnocchi was slightly overcooked and tough. Despite this, the dish is an embodiment of fall, with warm, hearty flavors shining through. Seared Scallops The U10 scallops were expertly cooked and served atop butternut risotto, complemented by bacon marmalade, pepitas, and chili crunch. The flavor profile is distinctive, with sweet scallop notes transitioning into the savory, slightly sharp taste of bacon, and finishing with earthy sage. The combination of scallop, bacon, onion, and sage creates a unique experience. The creamy risotto provides balance, while the pepitas add a satisfying crunch. However, the risotto was slightly softer than ideal, lacking the desired al dente texture. Charred Broccolini Chef Plumlee achieved a wonderful flavor profile with this side dish. The broccolini, slightly bitter and perfectly charred, develops an almost smoky, beefy flavor that elevates the vegetable. The charred exterior adds depth, making the simple ingredient taste rich and satisfying. It's a fantastic combination that brings out the best of the broccolini, showcasing chef Plumlee's ability to turn a humble vegetable into something extraordinary. Tres Leches Carrot Cake This fall dessert, crafted by chef Audrey Long, is a decadent delight. The moist carrot cake is soaked in tres leches, topped with a tangy frosting and cream, while bits of walnut add the perfect texture to avoid a one-dimensional dish. Each bite coats the palate with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and the essence of fall. It's a wonderfully balanced and delicious dessert, capturing the warmth of the season. Final thoughts The Tavern absolutely lives up to its reputation and more, offering pub fare elevated to the realm of fine dining refinement. Each dish was dynamic in both flavor and texture. While some elements were slightly off, the flavor combinations were incredible, with highlights from the Tres Leches Cake, Tikka Masala Hummus, Chicken, and Broccolini. The Tavern Burger delivers on its hype as well. Final Score: 49/60 "Above Average" read more

The tavern is always a safe bet for late night food and drinks when we are in the Tulsa Art District! The food is consistent and you have occasional new menu items. The deviled eggs are delicious, and at our last stop we tried the new Queso Birria which was very good! You can't go wrong with delicious birria meat on top of gooey cheese! The service is always great, prompt and efficient. Drinks are very good as well, we tried the Peach tree and Moonlight and both were tasty. For late night food, the Tavern burger is always a hit. It's half price every evening after 9pm! This restaurant is great for group hang out or for a date night, very cozy and comfortable. read more

The fish and chips is my favorite here. It's crispy and flaky, with thin cut and crisp fries, and the tartar sauce is delicious and creamy! Also, the poutine is great- it's made with thick hash brown patties topped with shredded and tender beef and brown gravy with green chilies and cheese curd. The atmosphere is masculine with leather and books, but also romantic softer touches here and there. It's classy, yet comfortable. The bar is extensive, and the drinks are flavorful. Our server tonight was named Lucky, and he was the perfect blend of attentive, but not overbearing. My husband and I shared an appetizer, and each had an entreé, and a cocktail, and before tip, our bill was $90. Entreés range in variety and price, and I'm positive there's something for everyone. read more

There is metered and sometimes free parking around the restaurant. It was refreshing to walk inside on a hot day as it was nice and cool. I like the decor and the vibe of this place. We were able to get a table right away. Our waitress was really nice and checked in throughout the meal. The deviled eggs trifecta was my favorite item. The bacon popcorn was interesting - some pieces were a little soggy but other pieces crunchy, it wouldn't get it again but it was weirdly addicting. My pork chop was good but the Brussel sprouts while cooked well were super salty and while the fries had some salt, between the two it was too much and I couldn't eat them. read more

We stopped here today for a late lunch. The atmosphere was open and nice. I ordered the burger and my husband ordered fish and chips. His entree was good and mine was fine but not my favorite. The burger was very meat forward. Beef and blue cheese only. No lettuce, tomato or anything other than beef and blue cheese, which is not my taste but not bad. Fries were average. Nothing special. Service was terrific. Pricey menu. Not bad but the restaurant didn't knock our socks off. read more

People RAVE about the Tavern Burger and the Angry Mac and Cheese here, and rightfully so. The Tavern Burger is ooey, gooey, juicy, and delicious. Every bite explodes with flavor and goodness.

Second stop here while visiting. May have to make it an annual thing. The service is always stellar. The place is upscale but not stuffy. We started with the Deviled Egg Trifecta and the Bacon Popcorn. Both were delicious. The Sriracha DeviledEgg is pretty amazing. Jacob and I decided to split two meals. Way to go Jacob. He had the Pumpkin Campanelle. Wow! The creamy subtle pumpkin flavor with the pungent smooth goat cheese...and that sausage. He didn't want to share after having it. lol. I had the Bone In Pork Chop which came with collard greens, cassoulet and mustard seeds with the tiniest jalapeno cornbread muffin. That pork chop really packed the flavor. The mustard seed on top really was a nice accompaniment. The collards were super, a little crisp and fresh but yet not bitter with a nice flavor. The cornbread was outstanding, which made it way too tiny. I wanted more, ok a lot more. We did end up sharing which was nice, but I preferred the port chop to be honest. Another friend had the Salmon which he said was delicious and he claims to be picky. He ate it all. lol read more

Really lovely and fun decor and a pretty comfy booth. I honestly didn't have terribly high expectations checking the menu online (was afraid of a hoity toity overpriced concept with nothing to show for it) but BOY was I surprised. I had the tavern burger and it may be one of the best burgers I've had in my entire life. It was understated and mellow how the flavors of the mushroom cream sauce and Stilton complemented one another but it was stunningly good. The salt level was also surprising; it was salt forward without being too salty, in my opinion, which just brought out all the flavor in the excellent meat cooked a perfect medium. And the fries were my favorite skinny style. All around, I was a happy camper. My aunt was with me and she made a meal of the poutine appetizer (made with filet mignon y'all). She was very, very pleased. And the staff was so friendly and sociable. I felt incredibly well taken care of and very comfortable. Highly recommend and will certainly come back next time I'm in town. read more

Walked in solo on a Sunday night around 9:00. The restaurant was less than half full. Nobody was seated at the bar. I waited several minutes to be seated, waited exactly 10 minutes without water or a drink order until I ask to speak to a manager. The manager, Cameron said sorry and that someone was probably unaware that they were assigned to my table. I called him on it, because several waiters had walked by without any kind of acknowledgment. If I had seen someone sitting by themself with an empty glass, and the menu set aside as if they're ready to order, I would stop by and ask if there was anything I could do to assist them. If I could give them zero stars I would. I was really looking forward to eating here, but I'm glad I didn't waste my money. read more

I guess it's a cool place, for Tulsa. Got aggressively harassed right outside the door by a couple unhoused-looking men. The tavern burger was overcooked, quite dry, and really in need of more toppings than the mushroom sauce it's served with. The ipa was served with too big of a head ($.91 extra state liquor tax on top of $7.00 for 4/5 of a full pour). The soap dispenser was empty in the men's room. The pen brought with the bill didn't work (had to find another myself). A bit of a weird vibe, but it's the first night I've ever stayed in this city... read more

Per our waitress's recommendation, we started our meal with the Birria Queso. Both Grant and I were a little worried when we first saw it, but ended up being over the moon for the dish. The savory meat placed in the piping hot, delicious cheese dip was almost addictive. It was really fantastic and was served with house fried chips! Our entrees were also fantastic. Grant enjoyed the pork chop, which had a really nice barbecue glaze on it, and I had the beef stroganoff. The dish itself was really nice, but the sour cream compote on top elevated it well into the next level. This compote was lemony, so it added a really nice tang to the whole dish. read more
