So I'll be driving from the great lakes to Norman, OK in about a month.
I'd like to get a really good steak while I'm roughly following old route 66 in Oklahoma. I've heard good and bad things about Cattlemen's Steak house in OKC but know almost nothing of the state. I'm also probably going to nose around for old rt. 66 places like the Blue Whale in Catoosa. Any other hidden gems?

If you are cutting through northwest Arkansas, Herman's in Fayetteville is excellent.

The Deep Fork Grill in OKC, basically at the corner of N. Western and I44 north of downtown, has excellent steaks, though it's not a "steak house" per se. http://www.deepforkgrill.com/ (If you like salmon, the Cedar Plank Salmon is very good as well.) |

Cattlemen's is awesome! There is also a Hawaiian steak house, I think it may be a chain, that has pretty good steaks. I'd tell you to go to Molly Murphy's House of Fine Repute, but unfortunately it closed several years back. Dang it.

Best steak in Tulsa, OK is at Mahogany's Prime. http://www.mahoganyprime.com/index.php Husband and I've eaten at famous steak places like Delmonico's, Delaney's, etc. in New York, Vegas, but Mahogany's is a major contender for best we've ever had. Also only place to get big seafood portions like 22 oz lobster tail (NOT whole lobster you have to fight with to eat). I'm assuming, of course, that you do NOT eat your steak well-done. |

I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, and it might be off your route, but I had an incredible chicken-fried steak at the Kumback Lunch in Perry, OK -- about an hour north of Oklahoma City on I-35. The Sterns of Roadfood fame wrote it up on their website. I'm not a fan of chicken-fried steak, normally, but I followed their advice and it was well worth it. |

Cattlemen's is hit and miss. It can be awesome or vile, topped with lackluster service. Interesting places in OKC are Junior's ( http://www.juniorsokc.com/map.html). It looks a bit like an old brothel on the inside, but it's also the place where the state legislators hang out at night. You might pick up some good stories. Another place is the Haunted House near the junction of 35 and 44 ( http://www.hauntedhouserestaurant.com/). Reservations required, I believe. In Tulsa, you have Jamil's, which recently moved from their old location (run-down but cool) into a new place that belonged to some chain (clean but soulless). ( http://www.bestoftulsa.com/tulsamenus/jamils.shtml) |

I haven't been, but there are several old-style burger houses in El Reno west of OKC that purvey fried onion burgers, where the onions have been mashed into the patty. Several of these places have been featured in Jane and Michael Stern's RoadFood books; here's a link to one of them. http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurant/Reviews/133/sids |
