    Default New to OKC - Restaurant Advice?

    Although I have lived in Oklahoma all my life and have spent a lot of time in OKC, I am looking for some advice on local restaurants.

    I know all the big chains, and the local chains like Ted's & Chelinos.

    I'm looking for some of the great hole in the wall places, local gems that aren't well publicized. Let me know your favorites!

    Looking forward to your advice!

    The best burgers in town are at Nic's Diner, on NW 16 and Penn, just a little hole in the wall, old school diner, you can only fit about 12 people in there, but the burgers are worth the wait, and makes up for it. The burgers are so big, you have to eat with a fork, you can't even pick it up, and I am not exaggerating.

    So did I. The new location is rather stark and plain compared to the old place, but the food is still good.

    Heck, just start reading a couple pages of this Food Forum and you'll get it down. Tip, you can also do a search in this food section and type in whatever (ie. "bbq" or "italian") and probably get a dozen or more reviews of those types of places.

    These are some of my personal favorites & they're all VERY inexpensive.

    Oma's Pantry, 23rd & Council - great sandwiches, FANTASTIC pizza (not always available though, it's a random special). Friend them on Facebook, you'll see the daily specials...sandwich, chips & drink for less than $6. Oma's Pantry Deli Menu & Online Ordering

    ND Foods, Britton Rd, East of May (by Johnnie's) - nice deli counter, extensive family-style take home options (lasagnas, meatloaf, etc), great sandwiches and the baked goods are awesome.

    Cafe Bela, SW 89th & Penn - coffee/bistro. The "Bellaroni" sandwich is my favorite. Cafe Bella - Espresso-Tea Bar & Bistro - Oklahoma City

    Cajun King, NW 63rd & McArthur - buffet-style cajun/soul food. Definitely nothing to look at inside, but the food is good & the service is always outstanding.

    Tacoville, SW 29th & Newcastle Rd - best tacos & burritos, ever.

    Kolache Kitchen, NW Expressway (near Hideaway Pizza) - one of my favorite places for breakfast (bonus, it's near work!), their kolaches are so good. The ranchero is great, scrambled egg, cheese, sausage & jalapeno inside a pastry. OR go there at lunchtime & there's a guy making sushi. Weird as it sounds, the sushi is some of the best I've had in a while (and cheaper than places like Sushi Neko). Kolache Kitchen

    BBQ Chop Shop, 78th & N. May - They've got the best pulled pork! Great desserts too. BBQ

    I would also recommend checking out Urbanspoon online, you can read reviews of different places. If you've got an iPhone, get the urbanspoon app & use the randomizer. That's how I've found a lot of cool places that I'd never heard of before. Well, the urbanspoon app & okctalk!

    I'm pretty sure it's at 63rd & MacArthur. We're going there for the first time tonight - based on the good reviews I read here.

    Although there are numerous places they haven't gotten to yet, there are also lots of places you won't find reviews on elsewhere.

    I really enjoy the effort that goes into the eataroundokc.com site
