I'm sorry, but any list that doesn't include Cattlemen's isn't Oklahoma. The best places taste like home and they generally aren't fancy or extravagant. The best meals of my life were served in my Great Aunt Zella's kitchen. Her sour dough rolls, she called them biscuits lol, were without doubt the most delicious bread I've ever tasted and that recipe is lost. 😢

I was born and raised in OKC and have lived here most of my sixty-one years. I've also driven Uber for the past five years. If an out of town passenger asks where to go for dinner, I tell them about Cattleman's Steakhouse. It's not fancy but it's honest and real. There is no slick veneer. There's a good chance your waiter or waitress has been wearing that signature tuxedo shirt and diamond knot tie for twenty or thirty years. During lunch, you might see cowboys with spurs on their boots coming over from the stockyards after dropping off their loads. The steaks are excellent, the prices are reasonable, the potato, salad, and roll are included, the people are friendly, and they have - without a doubt - the best damn coconut cream pie in the state. Cattleman's is the heart and soul of Oklahoma City.

A lot of the houses in this area are extremely old, and some are historic preservation. These houses' plumbing lines are over 50 years old, and they might look great on the outside but need plumbing and more insulation due to the fact that when they were built. Also, okc does not enforce the residential energy code when permitting. Buy smart foks.
@BenFreemanHomes
@BenFreemanHomes 16 күн бұрын
Yes, they are old. My home in this neighborhood was built in 1924 and could use some beefing up of the insulation and windows, especially during those cold winter months when it can be a little drafty. Since our family prefers the character of a 100y.o. home, we've decided it's worth paying a little extra in energy bills during the winter months. One thing I often recommend to my buyer clients is a sewer scope to verify the condition of the sewer line during the inspection period. I've know firsthand of sewer scopes on brand new construction homes revealing debris and other objects in the sewer line--like an actual brick--so it's always a good idea to scope the lines, regardless of the home's age.

If you aren't from around here and you are a woman and live alone on a tight budget and you might have a reason to want time alone , Radius Apartments peeps WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE! Some neighbors you might have will be well heard above you and you are likely to be treated like dirt ! I get harassed and threatened and no one cares and the management helps them do this! My utilities were shut off after the banging on my door when I used my bathtub and tales of leaking ...and NOW A FLOOD IN THE APARTMENT DOWNSTAIRS , AND OVER A 7 MONTH STRETCH OF TIME AFTER THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND ABOUT MOVING ME TO ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR APARTMENTS ?? I showed the management a video of a neighbor calling me out , yelling at me, calling me out of my species and she should have been evicted ! NOW, I AM BEING THREATENED WITH EVICTION IF I KEEP BEING RUDE TO MY NEIGHBORS ! I know that I told Megan, the local manager, that I can't NOT WASH, and soon after my electricity was shut off and they have no proof of anything and I don't just break things and the maintenance yells at me like I'm not a fellow human being ! Red tag the door or evict me , then, if you can't stand the sight of me !

Cattleman’s isn’t updated and modern, but it’s an absolute staple in OKC. My grandparents took me there as a kid and there’s so many memories. When people from out of town ask me what places to check out, I always tell them Cattleman’s and Eischen’s just for the historical significance of them. There’s so many amazing places to eat in and around OKC. My parents got engaged at Pete’s Place in Kreb’s back in 1968. I’d love to see a video on the oldest restaurants to try in Oklahoma.

The sirens are tested every Saturday at noon and we have some of the best meteorologists in the world who will often forecast days in advance when conditions are looking likely for tornadic activity.
