Ike's Chili House

5941 E. Admiral Pl., 838-9410

This place has been around about as long as Tulsa itself, so you know one thing: Ike's knows its chili. Cooks prepare 300-pound pots full of chili throughout the week and serve the mildly spicy soup with just about anything. Try a Frito pie, a chili cheeseburger, spaghetti with chili or a chili cheese Coney. You also could have some pasta (spicy or mild, of course), a hamburger or a basket of chicken tenders. Ike's is now also serving the BOK Center.

HOURS: MON-FRI 10AM-7PM, SAT 10AM-3PM

Callaloo's

6946 S. Lewis Ave., 591-2512

Treat your taste buds to a trip to the islands. Serving dishes derived from all over the Caribbean such as traditional dishes of Trinidad and Tobago. Try the curry goat, salmon in coconut sauce or the tender rib eye steak for dinner. For that sweet tooth craving following, dive into their delicious and traditional cheesecake for dessert. Stop by Saturday nights for live, reggae music.

Tally's Good Food Café, 1102 S. Yale Ave., 835-8039

Eating at Tally's is like time-traveling back to the '50s, thanks to the retro neon sign that greets customers and the classic diner interior. Tally's is right on Route 66 (aka 11th Street), and the restaurant follows the promise of timeless home cooked fare. Get your fill of bacon, eggs, waffles, blueberry pancakes after a late night on the town. Tally's won Best Diner at this year's Absolute Best of Tulsa awards, too, so you know they're good!
