So thankful we finally went inside the Route 66 Attraction the Arcadia Round Barn in Oklahoma. We had driven by multiple times in the past but never made the stop. It has interesting history and it is beautifully made. The base floor is a museum / gift shop which has interesting exhibits and fun Route 66 merchandise. The top floor is large and open. They offer it for party rentals and weddings. It’s a fun stop on Route 66 between Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

We have now visited Cheri Ann’s Trattoria many times now and we absolutely love eating at this local family owned and operated Italian restaurant in Broken Arrow. They serve up a great variety of Italian food and have daily specials. My wife and both of my boys favorite is the Farfalle with white wine cream sauce. I love it all. My last visit, I had the Ravioli both meat and cheese ravioli with the pink sauce. Everything we have tried here has been great. I will say it is a fairly small restaurant so make reservations or arrive early. It stays busy because it’s so good. You can find them on Main Street in Broken Arrow’s Rose District.

My family and I enjoyed Bros. Houligan for the first time recently. I had been hearing great things about their multiple Tulsa locations and we ended up visiting the location on Yale. The Bros. Houligan has been serving Tulsa delicious comfort food for over 25 years. They are known for their chicken fried steak sandwiches and Cottage Fries (waffle fries served with a side of gravy) We started out with some mozzarella sticks, fresh baked rolls and onion rings. Both the apps and the rolls were great! I ordered the fish and chips special. The fish was great and the batter was delicious. I really enjoyed the cottage fries. My wife had the marinated chicken salad and boys had a kids cheeseburger meal and a chicken strip meal. The Bros. Houligan is a great place for a delicious meal in Tulsa.

Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at “In the Raw Vu” in downtown Tulsa. This restaurant has some of the best views of Tulsa. They have a large selection of delicious sushi and many options for the non sushi people. They have many seating options inside and out with two large patios. One of the patios even has views of the Drillers stadium! It’s a wonderful place to eat in downtown Tulsa. in the raw vū They also have 4 other locations around Oklahoma.

We visited Bramble Breakfast & Bar in Broken Arrow the other day. It’s a Brunch restaurant that is located within an old church. They even have some of the stained glass still on display. The food is good and they are known for their mimosas, and other breakfast type drinks. My wife and I enjoyed some breakfast foods on our last visit. I had breakfast tacos and my wife had the avocado toast. It’s a fun restaurant to visit in Broken Arrow. It’s just around the corner from Main Street. (Close enough to walk) There’s also a location in Jenks and Downtown Tulsa.

Shuffles Board Game Cafe in Downtown Tulsa is such an awesome place. Here you can eat, drink and play a large variety of board games. They have game masters who can suggest games and explain the game play and the rules so you can try new games and easily have a great time. It’s a wonderful place for some family fun, a date night or a night out with friends. They have plenty of tables and games for all ages. We had hours of fun playing games that even our 5 year old could understand and we could enjoy as well. Shuffles has a large selection of board games with multiple levels of difficulty. Currently, unlimited game play per person is only $6 for an all day game pass and the food is delicious and reasonably priced.

Try out the Americanized Irish food at J Farleys. I went for lunch today with a few friends. We started off with some fresh warm pork rinds. They were great! 3.99 for all you can eat! They gave us ranch and another sauce to dip them in. I ordered the Bangher bangers and mash. (Two Irish sausages on a bed of mashed potatoes covered in Guinness Gravy with a side of green beans.) My friends ordered a fried chicken sandwich, and a Rueben sandwich. J Farleys is locally owned and operated by two buddies who love burgers and beer and named the restaurant after their friend Captain Jason Farley who lost his life during a water rescue in Claremore, Oklahoma.
