This is a favorite for locals who know the beauty of Lake Hefner. The Red Rock Grill is located on the shore of the lake and from any vantage point in the restaurant you have a magnificent view of the water and the breath taking sunset. The menu features classic American cooking with a wide variety of appetizers as well as entrees. The wine list is extensive and the crowd is a chic as the ambiance. You can’t leave without tasting the wood-fired rotisserie chicken and the famous house salad and homemade cornbread. Red Rock Canyon Grill offers a laid-back culinary experience, with a gorgeous waterfront setting. As sunset there are few views in Oklahoma City that can match it.

This restaurant was originally a small breakfast bakery (featuring the best muffins in town) and lunch spot on Classen. It has now evolved into a new location with both lunch and dinner hours and sets the standard for Brazilian cuisine. Located one block north of the new traffic circle at N.W. 10th and Walker in the Midtown district of downtown OKC. Owned by Ana Paixao Davis, who has imported a delightful slice of her native land to Oklahoma City, the restaurant has the flavor of South America. The menu features a cuisine that combines the Portuguese and African influences of Brazil. Don’t leave without having one of their famous muffins or cookies.

Serving OKC for over half a century, the hot roast beef consists of lean meat and mashed potatoes served atop slices of white bread and smothered with brown roast gravy. This little spot has been satisfying generations of businesspeople, local politicians and anyone who loves hearty American cooking.
CASA PERICO

Located at N.W. 122nd & Penn

You won’t find any “Tex-Mex” at Casa Perico. It mainly uses pork, as it is usually the meat of choice in Mexican cooking, in the dishes. This restaurant adds unique and authentic flavors to its menu. A customer favorite is the carnitas de puerco, a mouth-watering version of pork roast with large chunks of meat simmered in an old-fashioned copper kettle with a variety of spices. For a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine, you won’t want to pass this up.
