Guilty pleasure

[sgrizzle]

There have been multiple discussions about the best place for this or that and the what is most like Tulsa. What I'd like to hear is not where you would take visitors, but where is that place where the food isn't the best, the service isn't the best, and you're not proud of going, but you go there anyway.

For me it's the new Taco Tico for combo burritos and fruit pies, anyone else got one?

Goldies... actually, a lot of their food is really good... but I'm not exactly proud of saying I go there to clog my arteries.

Crow's Drive In on West 41st, anything on the menu.

Arnold's at Union and I-44. The food is great. Too good. People often are pried out of their pick up trucks to waddle in for mountains of fries, huge cheeseburgers and lovely shakes.

Brookside by Day for breakfast.  The food is mediocre, the place always seems kind of dirty, and the staff is always rushed, but I still go back for more.

I love their chicken fried steak sandwich.

A vanilla malt at Steve's Sundry...

Ollie's.  Lunch buffet full of comfort food, all commissary-grade.

I think I've said before the only crime in Red Fork is the buffet at Ollie's, yet I still indulge in it.

Bills Jumbo Burgers, 2002 E. Admiral Blvd.  Best in Tulsa.  Call by 11:30 to get one by Noon.

Chas has mentioned my favorite Tulsa restaurant.

Bill's Jumbo Burgers are worthy of song, or at least a limerick or two.

They do any amazing to-go business (and have to because it only seats like five people). On Fridays, you have to call in by 10:45 to get burgers before noon.

The burgers are slow-cooked with lots of tiny onion bits mashed into the patty before cooking. The buns are put on top of the burger while cooking just long enough to have a thin crust on a fresh large bun.

The burgers are huge, topped with tomato and lettuce and are are incredibly affordable. One person can't eat the five dollar burger or two of the three dollar size. Our office will sometimes feed ten people for twenty dollars.

Nothing compares. I love burgers from Ron's, Hanks, Marge's, Goldie's, Weber's, Billy on the Square, Brownie's, Arnold's...all of them.

But Bill's Jumbo Burgers is the best.

Join me in song...

Amen Brother! Shall we gather at the corner...the one where Bill's is cooking up our lunch...big or little, cheese or fries...they are precious in our eyes...

Been eating his stuff since my first Tribune paper route that dropped the bundles by his parking lot (originally just a little West of there in an old gas station building).

Bill's is truly worthy of song and story! I also love Phat Philly's.

The one truly guilty pleasure in accordance with the thread is the restaurant that is just outside of Cherokee Casino.  I forget the name but they have a buffet that has fried catfish and a bunch of comfort food.  It's not great catfish but I still go back again and again.

I need to add phat philly's to my list.. although I do take people there..

[doofus]

Don't forget Ike's Chili too, of course. (Great for a hangover lunch!)
