Boston Avenue Grille

15 E. 5th St., Suite 150, 392-7171

Check out this breakfast joint bright and early in the morning. Before you head to the office, grab an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with your choice of sausage, bacon or ham, served on a croissant. If you're in a sweeter mood, try the cinnamon rolls, muffins, yogurt or dive into the Kashi bar.

MON-FRI 7AM-2PM

Ike's Chili House

5941 E. Admiral Pl., 838-9410

This place has been around about as long as Tulsa herself, so you know one thing: Ike's knows 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.

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

Tucci's

1344 E. 15th St., 582-3456

These hot days make a good case for a late-evening dinner. Tucci's, open late Friday and Saturday, has the cure for summer blues. The Caesar Salad is always a refreshing option, but if you're in the mood for something heartier, you might try the lasagna or ask for the day's special.

MON-FRI 11AM-2PM; MON-SAT 5PM-10PM

Joe Momma's

112 S. Elgin Ave., 794-6563

Brick oven pizza, live entertainment and an awesome atmosphere! If you don't want Joe Momma to build your pizza, then you can build it yourself, but maybe you could try a taste of the Aloha chicken pizza or the Natalie Portman vegetarian pizza, just for kicks. Sandwiches, calzones and "Rabbit Food," are up for grabs, too. Go to Joe Momma's, and you'll never want to leave.

MON-THURS 11AM-12AM, FRI-SAT 11AM-3AM, SUN 11AM-10PM
