The Lists 2023

Every year, after visiting more than 300 restaurants in the OKC metro, I put together lists of the best concepts in popular categories, including cocktails, coffee, and the most frequently requested dishes or styles. Usually, they are just the five best in no particular order, unless it says otherwise, and a visit to any of the five is sure to be excellent. There will occasionally be lists that are longer or shorter depending on the availability of the style/ethnicity and quality. For burgers, since we’re in a golden age of sorts in Oklahoma City, I always list ten.
