Edmond Eateries...Mmm

Hey, we all have to eat!  That's why one of the most common questions I'm asked by people relocating to Edmond is, "Where is a good place to eat?"  Don't get me wrong, folks start with the important questions like schools first.  But we always mange to get to the topic of food.  OK, maybe it's just that I bring up the topic!  What can I say, I like to eat!

I always tell them that while Edmond has it's fair share of chain restaurants like Chili's and Applebee's.  We also have an awesome selection of locally owned places that you will want to check out. 

I threw a question out to my Facebook friends, "What is your favorite locally owned place to eat in Edmond?"  Here are a few they mentioned plus a couple of my family's favorites;

• Cafe 501:  One of my very favorite places to go for lunch and from the Facebook response, it seems I'm not alone!  If you go be sure to try the 501 salad or the Coyote Chicken.  It's on the corner of 5th and Boulevard.
• Boulevard Steakhouse & The Martini Lounge:  Fabulous place to celebrate the milestones in life (like buying a new home!) they have terrific steaks, signature martinis and an extensive wine list.  They are right next door to 501 on Boulevard.
• Chelino's:  Local favorite for Mexican food and they have really good margaritas.  It's at 1612 S. Boulevard.
• Ted's Cafe Escondido:  Best fajitas.  A lot of people get the fajitas from there for parties.  They are at 801 E. Danforth.

• Flat Tire Burgers:  Near UCO and a popular hang out.  If you go, be sure to try the fried pickles!  We always go there after watching the Homecoming Parade since it's right on the parade route at 318 E. Ayers.
• Twelve Oaks Restaurant:  Recommended by Facebook friends.  I have not tried it yet.  I just checked out their menu online and think we will be giving it a try very soon.  They are at 6100 N. Midwest Blvd.
• Steak and Catfish Barn:  Recently featured on Man Vs. Food, need I say more?  5175 E. Waterloo.

• Colby's Grill:  Another that is new to me.  I hear they have the best omelets in town.  My daughter is an omelet fan, maybe we will go for breakfast tomorrow.  511 S. Broadway.
• Lottinville's Wood Grill:  What can I say except that they are my favorite.  Whenever my husband asks where we should go for dinner, I always respond, "How about Lottinvilles?"  They have a great wine list, yummy spinach artichoke dip, and dinner specials every night.  I usually order the steak sandwich or the Cabin Chicken Salad.  900 S. Kelly.

• Hideaway Pizza:  An Oklahoma staple for pizza.  116 E. 5th.

That list should get you started.  I'm getting hungry!  Hey Chris, how about Lottinville's for dinner?
