Dining fare in Oklahoma City, OK is as diverse and its occupants. With a density of restaurants almost as thick as it is in Dallas Texas, Oklahoma can suffice almost any diners palette. While 1st time visitors of OKC might dream images of Cowboy style steakhouses and unending rows of barbecue joints, Oklahoma City has found its way onto America’s culinary map with award winning, innovative restaurants and many talented chefs turning out incredible flavors of American, Italian, Asian and Mexican cuisine.

Downtown Oklahoma City, called "Bricktown", is home to an incredible variety of restaurants, from critically acclaimed destinations like Red Prime Steak Steakhouse, voted by MSN as one of the 10 Best Steakhouses in America. There are upscale restaurants like Deep Fork Grill and The Boulevard Steakhouse to casual neighborhood favorites like The Wedge Pizzeria and Iron Starr Urban Bar-B-Q.

Mesquite-grilled meats and fish are the specialty at Deep Fork Grill, a contemporary restaurant with a vibrant feel, an interesting menu, and a solid reputation. The white table cloth appearance is your first clue at how good the dining fare is going to be at Deep Fork Grill.

The eclectic mixture of antique and modern decor, extra crisp white tablecloths and careful table arrangement coupled with professional service make it easy to imagine you are the only diner there, and you have the undivided attention of the kitchen and staff. Flavorful pasta and the large portions are a delicious and filling meal. Peach-Serrano Glazed Pork Tenderloin and Potato Crusted Salmon make fine alternatives.
