Aquarium
Located in Jenks, just across the river from Tulsa, the Oklahoma Aquarium offers an underwater adventure for families. With over 200 exhibits showcasing marine and aquatic animals from around the world, visitors can marvel at colorful displays and mysterious creatures. The aquarium features a gigantic shark tank tunnel with bull sharks, a touch tank with starfish and anemones, and opportunities to feed turtles, manta rays, and small sharks. A highlight of the visit is walking through an underwater tunnel surrounded by marine life.
Was well worth the $20 and took 2-3 hours to cover. Lots of beautiful jelly fish, turtles, sea horses in different shapes and colors, giant octopus, 1000s of various fish species, huge shark tank, unusual sea urchins. Beautiful coral. Outstanding! Cafe and carousel inside. Virtual documentary in movie chairs. Great day for kids and adults. We visited on a Thursday. Not crowded.

This was my second trip to the Aquarium and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, interactive experience. On our first visit, we paid for the Behind the Scenes Shark Feeding Tour, which was a wonderful, educational experience. I would recommend this for older children and adults who are interested and engaged. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn fun and exciting factoids about the specific animals you're seeing. On today's visit, we had a 10-year-old with us, so we stuck to the "public" opportunities. These included free petting opportunities with several small "tide pools" and larger, timed opportunities to pet stingrays and jellyfish, as well as paid opportunities to feed turtles and stingrays. These exhibits were spaced out well to re-engage children who might be otherwise distracted. On a practical note, throughout the Aquarium were paper towels and hand sanitizer stations, especially around the more hands-on exhibits, there are benches and seating spread throughout for those who require or want frequent rest, and there are bathrooms at both ends of the Aquarium. There are clearly visible, easy-to-read signs throughout the Aquarium with information about the animals and plants on display, however, there are not many audio options. I would love to see an audio component somewhere in the future. Perhaps a QR Code that can be scanned for "guided tour" style information, that way people with learning disorders or who want more in-depth information can more easily access the information on the signs, even when there are lots of people in an exhibit and standing in front of the signs for longer periods is impractical. Over all, our experiences have been wonderful, and we will certainly be back. Highlights definitely worth checking out include: extremely active and playful otters, a shark tunnel, a large octopus, a large sea turtle, an electric eel with a voltage meter, and many more wonderful animals.

Our visit to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Tulsa was a delightful experience for the whole family! The place is well-organized and family-friendly, with plenty of exhibits to explore. The kids especially loved the shark tunnel — walking underneath massive sharks was thrilling and educational at the same time. We also enjoyed the touch tanks, where children could safely touch small sea creatures. The jellyfish and sea turtle exhibits were mesmerizing, and the staff did a great job answering questions and sharing fun facts about the animals. It’s easy to spend 2–3 hours here without feeling rushed. There’s also a nice gift shop and snack area for a quick break. The aquarium maintains a good balance between entertainment and education, making it a great stop for families visiting Tulsa. Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for an enjoyable and educational day trip!

The Oklahoma Aquarium far exceeded my family’s expectations. Everything was clean, staff were super friendly, and there were so many things to see including hands on and feedings. We went on a Saturday early afternoon and although busy, all the other visitors were patient and respectful allowing others to enjoy everything. It was well worth the drive (1 hour 40 minutes) and the cost of admission. My kids and 10 and 16, my husband and I are in our young 40s, so the aquarium is enjoyable for all ages.

All of the kids and adults had a good time. We spent time looking at all the exhibits inside, kids rode the carousel, and played on the playground for awhile. In total, it took about 2 hours to do everything. The sea turtle and shark tunnel were favorites. Our only complaint is the price. It was $97 for 2 adults and 2 kids to get in.

A little pricey, but it was fun. There were several little areas the kids could pet star fish, sting rays, and other things. My kids loved the shark tunnel, but it gave me vertigo, hold the rail! Overall it was a fun experience

Took about 40 Upward Students and we had a blast! Sharks were a big hit! Love how many things you can interact with and there is such a variety of creatures to see and learn about! My teenagers loved it, but I also feel like this would be ideal for toddlers and big kids! So much to see and do for all ages! Oh the photo booth was adorable, and the gift shop almost got all of my money. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Restaurant
Waterfront Grill Tulsa is a stylish restaurant and bar located on the banks of the Arkansas River in Jenks. It offers a classic American menu featuring steaks, seafood, and creative sushi options. The restaurant provides a fine dining experience with beautiful waterfront views from its patio overlooking the water. Whether you're craving succulent burgers, fresh seafood, mouth-watering sushi, or flavorful salads, Waterfront Grill has something for everyone.
We came in for drinks and to check out the menu while waiting to check into our Airbnb. Settled in the bar where Rachel took excellent care of us. The strawberry cocktails went down very smoothly and the blackberry lemon martini was perfection. After leaving to go check in for the weekend, we ended up back at waterfront’s bar hungry this time. The salad, the sushi, and the ahi all perfection. Lost us on the crab stack though as it tasted like the crab meat was mixed in something (maybe remoulade) and wasn’t enjoyed or eaten. Chase and Alex were great and we enjoyed our dinner

My wife and I had brunch with our friends. Their were about 20 of us. My wife had eggs Benedict, which she absolutely loved. I had scrambled eggs, cheesy hash browns, and biscuit and sausage gravy. My favorite part of my dish was the cheesy hash browns. There was really nothing special about the eggs. They were a bit overcooked and underseasoned. I don't eat pork, so I had to scrape as much of the sausage out of the gravy. There was no option available for plain cream gravy. I inspected my friend's orders and saw some that looked really delicious. The item i wish I would have ordered was the made to order omelet. The service we had was excellent. Our server was friendly, personable, and on top of all our needs. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing. I didn't realize the restaurant was that large. There is plenty of seating area plus a large bar in the middle. Overall, I would like to come back to eat dinner sometime.

A great experience overall. Our server Amelia was great. Checking in often, but not in an interrupting way. Food was very good. We are fans of going to the PNW and getting fresh fish there. My wife says that her cod was as good as the cod in the PNW. My ribeye was also excellent. I with they offered different sides though. It’s potatoes that are available three different ways, or rice. That’s it. I prefer a low/no carb option. The only down side to the service was when they brought us our food from the kitchen. It wasn’t Amelia who did this, but they got semi close to our table slammed the plates down and walked away, all while talking to each other. It was just rude. They never said hi, or here’s your food, or anything like that. Just slammed it down and walked away like they were too busy to acknowledge the customer. There was another issue that we had, and I don’t want to publicly say what it was, because it would look really bad for them, and I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, and mark it up to just an error. I was an hour or so after we left that we discovered this, we called them, and at first they brushed us off. About 20 minutes later, the manager called me back, and said he would make it right, I would just need to come back by the store. They did make it right, and I appreciate them having the integrity to do so. That means a lot to me. We will go back and enjoy and nice evening, food, and great service. We are looking forward to it.

This place has a great vibe! Food.. could use some help! Cold broccoli an green beans.. definitely not fresh but frozen. Bland bland bland also. Ribs were good; can’t say they were the best I’ve ever had. Others in the party were please with their food as a first time patron. They have a LOT of items on their menu.. unfortunately, it’s not as ‘homemade’ as you’d hope.

First time here and this was such an amazing experience! We started with the avocado, crab, mango stack and I had the rainbow trout with veggies and my husband had the chicken picatta. Absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. ❤️ had to end with the creme bruleé!! highly recommend!!!

As a chef, when I go out of town, I am always highly impressed when I find something so delicious! This place is a 10/10! The location is on the water in Tulsa, which everyone loves, so they continue to go back, but for me it was the food. The appetizer of ahi tuna MELTED in my mouth. The sauce made it umani and it was chef's kiss. Then our salads were laid out beautifully along with our steak and my fish. I will be back. I absolutely do recommend this establishment if you're ever in Tulsa. They do a variety of different foods, including sushi so you can pick what you want and not feel trapped.

Great local place. Sits on the river in Jenks and is a hot spot for happy hour during the week. They do have daily specials, so check those out before you go in. I had the chicken piccata and hubs had the hickory burger, and we split a wedge salad. Food was good, not wonderful, but it had good flavor. The only reason for my 4 of 5 starts is that we spent $60ish on dinner, and we got a burger, chicken and a salad. Both of us had water, and no desserts. Seems a little pricey, but I know everything is now.

Pizza restaurant
Andolini's Pizzeria in Jenks is a bustling establishment known for its authentic Italian cuisine and specialty pizzas. The restaurant prides itself on using their homemade mozzarella cheese to create delicious dishes. Along with pizza, they also offer salads, appetizers, and sandwiches for a quick meal. Guests can enjoy their food while taking in the scenic view from the outdoor seating along the riverwalk.
Kind staff, comfortable and stylized interior, and delicious pizza! Staff gave the kids small dough balls to play with which was cool for everyone. I didn't know places still did that. Our pizza was delicious and even though my wife and I split the smaller size, a 14 inch, it filled us up fast! Definitely a more pricey place to eat for our family but as a splurge it was worth the cost.

2nd time here and it's excellent!! I highly recommend it! We have the BBQ chicken pizza and it was probably the best pizza I've ever eaten! Can't go wrong with a Stromboli or calzone. The salad is great also, as well as the homemade ranch

We just had lunch at Andolini’s and we were extremely impressed. The reason we went there was because my son wanted gluten free pasta. We called before we left to be sure that they had it. They said yes! We placed our order and learned that they were out of gluten free pasta. He was so disappointed. I felt as bad as I did when he was in 8th grade and his class had a roller skating party and they didn’t have skates big enough for him at the roller rink. 😭 They brought the menu back and my daughter-in-law, decided to order another gluten-free pizza instead of the pasta. We learned that there was only one gluten-free pizza crust, and so there was not going to be a second gluten-free pizza. Then the manager came over to say that she was going to go to the store to buy some gluten-free pasta and while it would take a little bit longer, there would be gluten-free pasta for my son! This made everyone at the table so very happy! Our food was delicious, our drinks were kept full, we received excellent service from Delfina and it was truly an enjoyable meal. Thank you Andolini’s for going above beyond!

We came here yesterday with a group of 16 to include 5 young children. The kids were able to play at the playground until right before the food was ready. Then the dough kept them occupied when first sitting down. We had the lawn boy pizza on gluten free crust and we added pepperoni. Very good!! Shout out to Tyson who then went above and beyond by giving us gelato samples. He even separated the gluten and diary free ones from the regular.

⭐☆☆☆☆ I took my son here today for his birthday. We were the only ones seated outside — the weather was beautiful, but that’s about the only positive. Service was slow and inattentive. They forgot to place our order, so we waited an extra 45 minutes for food that was a total disappointment. The bruschetta was overbaked and tasted like cardboard. My son’s Opulent Mac & Cheese was super dry — not what you’d expect from a dish with that name. Overall, the experience felt like an afterthought, which is especially upsetting on a day that was supposed to be special. Definitely not the quality or service we expected from Andolini’s.

Not much down there to do but to eat and a few places to shop. Maybe it would have been better to go in the evening for the entertainment outside. There was a bill board showing performance times. Daytime was dead. No one was on the walkway. We ate at Los Cabo. Great food! Everyone was there.

We went to Andollinis on the Riverwalk and it was not crowded but it still took a long time to get our food. Our waiter was new and in retrospect needs more training. The waiter messed our order up and the manager never came over to apologize. We got our appetizer after the check and they had still charged us for the app, even though the waiter said they would not charge us. I had to send the check back two times before it was corrected. My salad was supposed to have a chicken breast on it and there was one strip of chicken on it. The pizza was decent but I remember the one in Tulsa being better. Not sure would go again: buyer beware when dining here.

Los Cabos is a must when in Tulsa, Owasso, or Jenks. My favorite is the location near riverside in Jenks. Always great food. Their Boomer Swirls are delicious. And don't ever pass up their queso Blanco. Spring/Summer nights have Live Music and a great patio at two locations. Great place to take the kiddos as well. One of my favorite places to dine!

Fondue restaurant
Fine dining restaurant
If you're on the hunt for a dining experience that combines fun and flavor, look no further than The Melting Pot. This fondue restaurant chain invites you to indulge in a delightful array of heated pots filled with rich cheese, decadent chocolate, or savory broth. It's not just about the food; it's an interactive culinary adventure where you can cook your own meals right at the table!
The Melting Pot in Jenks never disappoints, but Bessie takes the experience to the next level. Half of our party dines here monthly, and without skipping a beat, Bessie remembered their exact order. Her attention to detail, friendly nature, and perfectly timed check-ins made the evening feel seamless and personal. She’s the kind of server who doesn’t just do her job, she makes you feel genuinely welcomed and valued. The food, of course, was rich and satisfying, but the service is what makes this location stand out. If you’re visiting, ask for Bessie. She’s phenomenal.

Good - **** Loved the experience. Its not a traditional dine in restaurant. This was our first time and the server was patient enough to answer all our questions. They give you the ingredients mentioned on the menu and you cook it in the pot on your table based on your choices. Loved the herb chicken breast, steak and pork. The best part is the banana foster chocolate dessert.

Definitely not your average dining experience! Amazing and flavorful with the variety of sauces, meats, cheeses. Staff was perfect 👌 attentive, friendly, and helpful, we never had to ask for anything, glasses stayed full. We had the 4 course: cheese with plenty of drippers, salad, main (meats with side of potatoes, broccoli, & mushrooms), then chocolate fondue that was amazing, along with all the food. $72/pp after tax, before tip. Along the Riverwalk in Jenks so can waddle off some of the food if its not sweltering hot outside. Clean bathroom.

Outstanding Service from Jurayl!! I had the pleasure of dining at The Melting Pot in Tulsa recently, and our experience was made absolutely unforgettable thanks to our incredible waiter, Jurayl. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He guided us through the menu with ease, explained everything about the fondue process, and gave great recommendations that made the night even better. Jurayl’s timing was perfect—always checking in without hovering—and he made sure our experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s rare to find someone who brings that level of professionalism *and* warmth to the table. He truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're dining at The Melting Pot in Tulsa, do yourself a favor and ask for Jurayl. He’s a gem!

Though I had a good experience in the restaurant if you do the take home beware I took the desert of the 50 year anniversary and I was disappointing. 4.3oz including the packaging. No pecans and honestly think I got the regular chocolate and not the 24 cart gold they advertised. For 150 for 2 people I feel it wasn’t meet do to the dessert honestly not enough for two people.

Mexican restaurant
Los Cabos Mexican Grill and Cantina is a casual yet upscale restaurant located in Jenks, Oklahoma, offering a beautiful waterfront patio with views of the Arkansas River. The restaurant serves classic Mexican dishes along with hot and cold salsa. Guests can enjoy live music outdoors, including weekend mariachi bands. While some reviewers found the interior to be a bit dated and dark, others appreciated the great service and food quality.
Right when we walked in I knew it would be a fantastic experience. It smelled wonderful! We were greeted by the owner who was so nice and welcoming. We were seated at a table that afforded a great view of Mexican art. Family owned and run and the service, food just every single thing about this place and our experience was great!

I still remember when Los Cabos first opened its doors in 2005, back when the Riverwalk was just starting to find its rhythm. It was exciting—a little slice of Los Cabos, Mexico, right here in Tulsa, complete with live music and the promise of something special. That first visit was also my last—until now. In fact, it was the location of my very first date with my wife. Back then, I wasn’t even married yet, and now, nearly two decades, three kids, and a whole lot of life later, I finally returned. Why did it take me 19—almost 20—years to come back? I honestly couldn’t say. I live close by, I drive past it nearly every day, yet for some reason, it never called me back. But today, for a business meeting, I decided it was time. Time may fly, but it also leaves its mark, and I could tell Los Cabos had aged—not in a bad way, but in a way that says, "I’ve been here, I’ve weathered the years, and I’m still standing." It was good to see it thriving. At its core, the place felt the same—so much so that I had mixed feelings. Nostalgia is a tricky thing. While I was hoping the food hadn’t changed, something about it wasn’t as vibrant as I remembered. The menu was crowded with options—so many that it felt like it was trying to be everything at once. We settled on some lunch specials, and I had just enough time for a quick walk to the restroom and back. The décor? Still holding onto its character. That, I appreciated. But the food. Ah, the food. I hate to say it, but my tacos leaned more Tex-Mex than the Mexican flavors I had once associated with this place. The sauces lacked punch—one had spice, sure, but it missed the basics, like salt or even a whisper of garlic. It all teetered on the edge of fast-food quality, at least in the case of the tacos I had. Would I come back? I think so. Some places earn a permanent spot in your heart, not necessarily because of the food, but because of the memories attached to them. For me, Los Cabos will always be the setting of my first date with my wife. I just wish they would lean into more authentic, standout dishes—the kind that make people fall in love, not just with the atmosphere, but with the flavors themselves. That being said, the service was top-notch. Our waitress was a powerhouse—genuine, kind, and always keeping our drinks filled without us having to ask. And the bathrooms? Exceptionally clean and well-kept (which, let’s be honest, can make or break a restaurant experience). So yes, Los Cabos is still a gem—but maybe one that could use a little polishing.

My first time dining at this restaurant and I really like the vibe of this place. Lunch was great since we dined in the patio! We ordered a bowl of the Queso to start out with and it was very good. Not so much on the lunch menu. I chose the #1 Acapulco off of the lunch menu and to be honest I didn’t care for it at all. I didn’t know that it came with a sour cream sauce or at least it wasn’t identified on the menu. If you opt to choose this one definitely do not get the sour cream sauce and if you do definitely get it on the side. My two dining partners chose the Beef Fajitas and they both enjoyed them! We chose to split the Sopapilla bites very dessert - good choice! Overall the atmosphere was great, dining in the patio with perfect weather can’t be beat! We had a great server with Will and he took good care of us! I’ll be looking forward to dining here again. Seriously they are better than this rating. I just didn’t care for the meal I chose.

Food was tasty! I had not been to this location before, I was impressed with the fresh ingredients & overall flavors. I love the borracho beans they make, it’s one of my favorites. I usually ask for jalapeños and mix them in.. just a tip for some extra spice. We ordered the seafood enchiladas and the casa grande, basically a mix of several items to try. My go to when I just can’t decide. Service was great, our server was quite busy, but still managed to keep up with our salsa and water requests. 👏

We had a perfect view of the Arkansas River as we dined. It was a rainy, overcast, dreary day, so the patio wasn't open.

Definitely try them if you're in the area.

About 20 minutes later, the manager called me back, and said he would make it right, I would just need to come back by the store. They did make it right, and I appreciate them having the integrity to do so. That means a lot to me. We will go back and enjoy and nice evening, food, and great service. We are looking forward to it.

This place has a great vibe! Food.. could use some help! Cold broccoli an green beans.. definitely not fresh but frozen. Bland bland bland also. Ribs were good; can’t say they were the best I’ve ever had. Others in the party were please with their food as a first time patron. They have a LOT of items on their menu.. unfortunately, it’s not as ‘homemade’ as you’d hope.

First time here and this was such an amazing experience! We started with the avocado, crab, mango stack and I had the rainbow trout with veggies and my husband had the chicken picatta. Absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. ❤️ had to end with the creme bruleé!! highly recommend!!!

As a chef, when I go out of town, I am always highly impressed when I find something so delicious! This place is a 10/10! The location is on the water in Tulsa, which everyone loves, so they continue to go back, but for me it was the food. The appetizer of ahi tuna MELTED in my mouth. The sauce made it umani and it was chef's kiss. Then our salads were laid out beautifully along with our steak and my fish. I will be back. I absolutely do recommend this establishment if you're ever in Tulsa. They do a variety of different foods, including sushi so you can pick what you want and not feel trapped.

Great local place. Sits on the river in Jenks and is a hot spot for happy hour during the week. They do have daily specials, so check those out before you go in. I had the chicken piccata and hubs had the hickory burger, and we split a wedge salad. Food was good, not wonderful, but it had good flavor. The only reason for my 4 of 5 starts is that we spent $60ish on dinner, and we got a burger, chicken and a salad. Both of us had water, and no desserts. Seems a little pricey, but I know everything is now.

If you're on the hunt for a dining experience that combines fun and flavor, look no further than The Melting Pot. This fondue restaurant chain invites you to indulge in a delightful array of heated pots filled with rich cheese, decadent chocolate, or savory broth. It's not just about the food; it's an interactive culinary adventure where you can cook your own meals right at the table!
The Melting Pot in Jenks never disappoints, but Bessie takes the experience to the next level. Half of our party dines here monthly, and without skipping a beat, Bessie remembered their exact order. Her attention to detail, friendly nature, and perfectly timed check-ins made the evening feel seamless and personal. She’s the kind of server who doesn’t just do her job, she makes you feel genuinely welcomed and valued. The food, of course, was rich and satisfying, but the service is what makes this location stand out. If you’re visiting, ask for Bessie. She’s phenomenal.

Good - **** Loved the experience. Its not a traditional dine in restaurant. This was our first time and the server was patient enough to answer all our questions. They give you the ingredients mentioned on the menu and you cook it in the pot on your table based on your choices. Loved the herb chicken breast, steak and pork. The best part is the banana foster chocolate dessert.

Definitely not your average dining experience! Amazing and flavorful with the variety of sauces, meats, cheeses. Staff was perfect 👌 attentive, friendly, and helpful, we never had to ask for anything, glasses stayed full. We had the 4 course: cheese with plenty of drippers, salad, main (meats with side of potatoes, broccoli, & mushrooms), then chocolate fondue that was amazing, along with all the food. $72/pp after tax, before tip. Along the Riverwalk in Jenks so can waddle off some of the food if its not sweltering hot outside. Clean bathroom.

Outstanding Service from Jurayl!! I had the pleasure of dining at The Melting Pot in Tulsa recently, and our experience was made absolutely unforgettable thanks to our incredible waiter, Jurayl. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He guided us through the menu with ease, explained everything about the fondue process, and gave great recommendations that made the night even better. Jurayl’s timing was perfect—always checking in without hovering—and he made sure our experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s rare to find someone who brings that level of professionalism *and* warmth to the table. He truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're dining at The Melting Pot in Tulsa, do yourself a favor and ask for Jurayl. He’s a gem!

The food and atmosphere was amazing. Our waiter Brandon was great. With my friend Ai 🤖 we made him a limerick… Brandon, a waiter so grand, At Melting Pot Tulsa's command. Like a stalker so keen, Every need he had seen, A fondue foe, with a fork in his hand.

Though I had a good experience in the restaurant if you do the take home beware I took the desert of the 50 year anniversary and I was disappointing. 4.3oz including the packaging. No pecans and honestly think I got the regular chocolate and not the 24 cart gold they advertised. For 150 for 2 people I feel it wasn’t meet do to the dessert honestly not enough for two people.

The Macho Nacho was really good. It had a lot of flavor, and it can feed two adults. The sausage dog is also worth ordering. The food is really good here

EDIT: we returned one evening on a Tuesday night. The service was awful. There were plenty of staff but it seemed like only one young girl was working at all. Waited forever to order drinks because the server said she didn’t notice we were there. There was only one other table there and they were seated to our left. We waited over 10 minutes after we got our drinks and the server never came back. My boyfriend waved her over when she finally came out from the back just for her to tell us they were out of bread for the sliders and some meat, which she should have told us from the start. After we got our food, she never checked on us again and only returned to give us our check. Original review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Went during an icy morning. Our waitress told us all the specials which was nice! Great food and very chill atmosphere. Got some sliders and a cheeseburger special. Will be back for casual drinking eventually

Very good bar food. Come hungry, the portions are large. I've never had anything I didn't like, but I usually come here when I'm craving a burger. I highly recommend both the southwest burger, and the shrooms and swiss burger. The French fries are shoestring fries and they are delightfully crispy and tasty.
Bob S — Google review
The wait staff was excellent. The food was very good, even though the Southwestern rice bowl was a little too spicy for my wife. She enjoyed the flavor, it just had too much heat for her to eat it all. I had the beer battered fish with fries and it was awesome. My MIL enjoyed the Asian salad she got and Casey, our daughter really liked her chicken strip and fries. However, the real star of the Show was the funnel cake fingers we had for dessert. Thanks to our waitress, I'm sorry, but I forget her name, for suggesting that we add a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, which took the fingers over the top in my opinion. We will definitely be back...SOON!!!

We usually go to the one in Broken Arrow, but on this side of town. We wanted somewhere quick and usually it is. It wasn’t very busy but took us a while to get our food. We enjoyed our entrees. Lots of TVs and server was nice.

The food and service staff last night was great, as always, but this time my wife forgot her small purse with dl, credit cards and iPhone. Sunday morning, after realizing, we went back and a very friendly cleaning man try to help us. We waited until 8am and asst manager came and got the purse from secured office. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and made my wife’s Mother’s Day even better. We highly recommend this location.

How different it was to be instantly greeted with smiles and “Hi, Welcome to Louie’s!” by multiple staff members. Atmosphere felt friendly and easy going and the service was nothing short of awesome. Lastly, food was delicious! Hats off to the chef behind it. 👏🏼

As much as i like this place, i must tell the truth. The wait staff are top notch. But the food.... its been lacking lately. Like just today. The chicken quesadillias, mostly onions, and grease. very little chicken. I mean very little chicken !!!!!! It was to say the least, dissapointing and the worse i ever had. . I only wish to thank the waitress. But after 20 years, i wont be back.

Pizza restaurant
If you find yourself in Tulsa, Oklahoma, make sure to stop by Andolini's Pizzeria Cherry Street for a delightful culinary experience. This bustling eatery specializes in Italian cuisine and offers an array of specialty pizzas crafted with their homemade mozzarella cheese. The atmosphere is vibrant and reminiscent of a classic pub, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Guests rave about the Slice and Salad combo, particularly praising the house-made Italian dressing as one of the best they've ever tasted.
An all-star cast serving up some of the best pizza anywhere. Love love love love loved the BBQ Chicken pizza — the fried onions were the bomb. And the signature salad was a fresh, crispy, delightful combination of flavors. Everything is house made — the fried mozzarella is a must-try. The attention to detail is evident throughout the experience. Can’t wait to come back. Tyler and his crew are deserving of the highest praise. Firing on all cylinders. Great job. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to visit again.

My family and I just finished eating here and to say it deserves a high rank is the least I could say! The atmosphere was great. Although it was super loud, the feel was very welcoming. The service was great. I think our server was a little new, but he was super sweet and attentive! (Can't remember his name, but looked like a Ken doll.) And the pizza was delicious! Although I'm not a fan of fresh jalapeños (they aren't as spicy), the pepperoni and jalapeno pizza was great! The seasoning for the New York cheese pizza was delicious and the homemade ranch was one of the best I've ever had! Will definitely go back!

Tyler, the General Manager (GM), is the reason we will come back to this place. As visitors from Florida, we were looking for a pizza place to try. This one popped up in a search so we decided to try it. I ended up with the lunch special and my wife ordered a salad. My lunch included a Caesar salad and it was delicious. The garlic knots were the best I ever had. I also hhad a slice of pepperoni 🍕 pizza and it was awesome. I was surprised how good the pepperoni was. But the best part was a visit to our table from the GM. He was friendly and asked us about our meal. The customer service was the best. I asked how he liked working there and about owning a pizza restaurant - I hope he gets the opportunity to own one. We look forward to visiting Andolini's Pizzeria again - great food and great service from the GM.

This place is amazing!! It seems to be a chain, but only local to Tulsa. The owners consistently check in and make sure everything is up to standards. You can tell. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Dominic was my server and he did a great job. From the start, he was making suggestions for things like adding smoked mozzarella to the pizza or cheese and pepperoni to the garlic knots. He was knowledgeable of the menu and able to give great recommendations. The food is also delicious. I will definitely be returning and will be recommending to others.

I love this place. I was visiting and walked up on this gem. The pizza is absolutely delicious. The salad was fresh and the service was friendly. Anytime I'm in town I'll be visiting this pizza spot, we had the meat pizza added peppers on half and a pepperoni pizza which sadly I did not get a photo of. Everything was so good and flavorful. Yummy yummy!

Jason was helped me select the perfect topping combo for my gluten free pizza! GF White Pizza with crushed sweet tomatoes and fresh Italian sausage. The atmosphere is old school Italian Pizzaria cool with the pizza platform in the middle of the tables. The owners weave in their love of cool 80’s music, pop culture references in their custom t-shirts, record cover (modified) art for the pizza boxes and menus! This is a local favorite for a reason. Authentic Italian food with a focus on quality and sourcing. Yum-fun!

Down here in Tulsa for a wedding and we got hungry. It seemed to take forever for the 5 of us to decide where to eat. Andolini's Pizzeria was chosen. And, DAMN! was that a perfect choice! We ordered two 16" pies, each with half of the types I've highlighted in my menu pic. EASILY fed the 5 of us with damn near a while pie for leftovers! But the highlight pie was the BBQ chicken pizza. THE FRENCH FRIED ONIONS on top!!👍😎👍 Best damn pizza I've had in a LONG time. Bring an Andolini's to Barre, Vermont, PLEASE!

Great, high quality pizza! I'm from out of town and usually try to get to Andolini's when I'm in town. Apparently it's Tulsa style pizza. I'd recommend trying it if you haven't been there yet.
