Restaurants in Claremore

At Uncle Vinny's NY Pizza, cooks decorate New York–style pizza crusts with nearly two dozen toppings that range from pepperoni and buffalo chicken to veggies such as broccoli and fresh tomatoes. But before layering on hearty ingredients, they can prep the crust with garlic and ricotta cheese or a drizzle of hot oil—a house signature. Alternatively, the toppings can join more classic marinara sauce or be tucked inside of a calzone or glove compartment before a road trip. After ordering pizza, hero sandwiches, or baked lasagna at the counter, guests can lounge at one of the tables dressed in a red-and-white checkered cloth or take their food to go.

Though Lasamee Xiong and her husband Thoa have owned restaurants in Minnesota, Michigan, and Oklahoma, their native land will always be Thailand, according to Tulsa World. With their son Saya at the kitchen's helm, they continue to serve up their homeland's cuisine in the quaint 30-person dining room at Thai Garden. Although Thai fare is the primary focus, the 30-item menu also includes Vietnamese and Chinese selections—many accentuated by spices and herbs directly from Thailand.

To the soft rhythms of Southeast Asian music, green and maroon laminate tables populate with steaming soups, traditional pad thai, and chicken and beef in sweet curry and sichuan sauces. Though fork and knife are the primary utensils at Thai Garden, chopsticks are also available upon request.

At Wanda J's Restaurant, chefs load tables with heaping portions of sumptuous southern comfort fare lauded by Tulsa World. Seasoned batter seals in succulent morsels of chicken, and rivulets of creamy brown gravy drip down stacks of pork and catfish. Meats share the limelight with up to 10 sides such as candied yams and mac 'n' cheese. A kid's menu treats tiny bellies to smaller portions, obviating the need to tote along a shrink ray or wait at the table until kids age into adults.

At Fiesta Mambo, house-made hand-fried chips served with salsa pave the way for a slew of Mexican entrees. Tables groan under plates of tender pork in verde tomatillo sauce and grilled chicken breast topped with chorizo sausage in melted cheese. To the delight of cannibalistic venus flytraps, many dishes can be prepared vegetarian.

The very first International House of Pancakes opened its doors in Toluca Lake, California in 1958. Now, more than 1,000 locations populate the country's states and territories. They stuff bellies with hot lunch, bacon, eggs, and signature pancakes with toppings such as warm fruit compote or cream-cheese icing. The Tulsa location leaves its doors open 24 hours a day, satisfying midnight cravings and welcoming the morning with omelets wide open.
