Cheever's Cafe

Top choice in Oklahoma


This former art deco flower shop is now an upscale cafe with excellent Southern- and Mexican-influenced fare. The menu changes seasonally and is locally sourced. The ice-cream-ball dessert is the stuff of dreams. The chicken fried steak is considered the best in the state.
