Doing a day trip to OKC and needed a nice place to enjoy lunch where we could bring our dogs. AI sent us to Cheever's and what a lovely choice it was. The patio space in the front was very secluded and lush, we had it entirely to ourselves. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. They even brought out a water bowl with ice for our pups. We loved our drinks. My espresso martini was boozy and not too sweet with a love whipped topping on top. Her Road to Hana was very refreshing and the pineapple tajin garnish hit the spot. Quick shout out to the dinner rolls and butter. I was starving so this held me over while our shareables came out. The Spicy Caesar was nice, loved the hit of heat that came with it. The Chicken Pepperjack Strudel, a signature dish, was really really good. Just wish it was warmer in the center but yea definitely order this. Juan's queso is not a typical queso dish. First, it's real cheese and it comes with a black bean puree, salsa verde, and avocado thinly sliced on top. We loved it, especially my wife. If you're in search of a higher end dining experience in OKC, Cheever's is a must. read more

Since everyone has commented on Cheevers brunch (which I have yet to enjoy), I wanted to share our great dinner experience! I came here with a large group of about 8 of us with a reservation made early on. We were seated in a nice, private room and had an overall very lovely experience! First of all, our server Trey was just spot on with all of his recommendations. He recommended the crab cakes, the halibut, and anything that came with the spicy shrimp risotto. Our table got crab cakes to start, and this was probably my favorite dish of the evening! The crab cake was large, fluffy, and full of lump crab topped with a spicy and delicious salsa verde and pico. For the entree I ordered the halibut which was cooked well, but the side of spicy shrimp risotto definitely stole the show (as Trey accurately predicted). Most of our party ordered this and everyone was pretty happy with it! For dessert, our table shared chocolate cake and the coconut creme pie. The chocolate cake was very rich and was probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've had, and I'm not a big chocolate cake person. I still definitely preferred the coconut creme pie, which I would order again next time! Our service was fantastic for the evening, and when Trey tells you to order something, trust him and do it! read more

Wow! What a find on our road trip. We arrived under dressed in our shorts and tees but were welcomed to a lovely restaurant with white tablecloths and fresh flowers. Caressa greeted us and cared about us the entire time. The drinks were epic. We had the Crab cake, spicy Caesar and the Cauliflower Brad Pudding. All delicious and outstanding. A gem of a restaurant. read more

We were so happy we chose this restaurant! The food and service were amazing. If you go, ask for Luz as your server. She was so pleasant and guided us to amazing menu choices. We look forward to coming to OKC again to eat at Cheever's! Thanks Cheever's and Luz for a great experience!! read more

I went to Cheever's last week and I was so excited because I had heard so many good things. The restaurant had such a cute vibe and it was nice and quiet when we went during brunch. Our server was so kind and fun and helpful by offering us recommendations. I tried the chicken and pepperjack strudel which I didn't love the taste of. The flavors didn't feel like they went together for me and it was kind of a confusion taste. I also ordered the Italian sausage rigatoni which they made for me even though it wasn't on the brunch menu which was so kind of them. That was overall much better but a bit oily and heavy. The did give us bread for the table which was great! I think I'll be back and will try some other items on the menu because everyone talks about how amazing their food is. For me it just was a bit of a miss that day. read more

This dinner was a surprise for my wife -- a true date night (though I don't usually call it that). We go out often, but this evening was special: my early retirement celebration. I made reservations, though arriving early meant they probably weren't necessary. I had been here once before just for dessert, so this time I took my wife and we went all in. Our server, Luisa, was outstanding -- warm, funny, and incredibly helpful. My wife isn't much of a drinker, but Luisa recommended a cocktail she ended up loving! I stuck with my go-to: gin and grapefruit juice. For starters, I couldn't decide between appetizers, so my wife went with a cup of soup while I ordered the chopped salad. The soup -- a rich beef stew-style creation -- was hearty and flavorful, while my salad hit all the right notes thanks to the blue cheese crumbles and the lemon vinaigrette. When it came to entrées, I was torn between the Filet and the Halibut. My wife went with the Filet, served with mashed potatoes and green beans, while I chose the Tortilla-Crusted Halibut with spicy shrimp risotto. Both dishes were excellent, but I have to admit -- that Filet may be one of the best I've ever tasted. Slight food envy, but no regrets -- I'll just order the Filet next time! Dessert was a must. I'd had it before and couldn't leave without it. The Ice Cream Ball is pure magic -- a large scoop of vanilla ice cream rolled in candied pecans, covered in chocolate, and topped with a fresh strawberry. Absolutely shareable and absolutely incredible. I also grabbed a slice of Coconut Cream Pie to take home (and I couldn't wait to dig in!). Cheever's never disappoints -- it's the perfect spot for a celebration, a date night, or just a night out when you want something memorable. read more

One of my favorites in the area. I was traveling in the area for work and stopped here so glad I did. The service was warm and inviting. I got the famous seafood tamale which was absolutely amazing and flavorful. Then fir dessert had the ice cream which was also delicious. Highly recommend read more

Cute place. I highly recommend making reservations as it seems pretty popular. We went on 2/7/27 @ 1:15pm and it was pretty full. It's located in a part of town that had a lot of other stuff around; shopping, tattoo shop & other restaurants. The staff was great and food was very good. The have by far the best rolls I have ever had. They give you a basket when you sit down. So good! Price is fair. The menu is a bit small but has good variety. I'm not giving it a 5 because I've had better brunch but it wasn't bad. read more

The ambience was perfect for more private conversations given the different divided sections of the restaurant that can make a large restaurant more cozy. We had a reservation and were seated right away and our waiter quickly welcomed us and gave us a little history about the flower shop building. The beer selection does not include most of popular beers, but it does have IPAs & Yuengling beer. They do have a pretty extensive wine selection and some cocktails, mocktails, & spirits. The complimentary warm bread and butter made for a great start. To start, we had JUAN'S QUESO CHIHUAHUA, a southwest layer dip: black bean puree, avocado, tomatillo salsa, tortilla chips which was absolutely delicious. The three of us had the QUINOA AVOCADO SALAD, with red quinoa, avocado, chile-lime corn, pico de gallo, goat cheese, almonds, garlic vinaigrette, CHEEVER'S CHICKEN FRIED STEAK with jalapeño cream gravy and garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes, and SHRIMP AND GRITS, Bacon-wrapped jumbo shrimp, cheddar-green onion grits, sriracha-honey butter. For dessert we had the ROASTED PECAN ICE CREAM BALL, a vanilla ice cream rolled in brown sugar roasted pecans and red chile - smothered in chocolate sauce. read more

I loved our dinner. The food was incredible! The service was good. The Preservation drink was the best ever. The Almost Famous was beautiful but a little bit on the sour side. The dessert drink similar to a White Russian but with cinnamon (I forget the name) was very tasty. The bread is delicious. It's the smoked salt they sprinkle on the butter that makes it extra special. The Bleu cheese potato chips were out of this world! The bacon is high quality. We got a full order and of course we couldn't finish it. I enjoyed them the next day after I heated the leftovers up in an air fryer (worked great). The chicken fried steak looked wonderful and my husband really liked it. The salmon was perfection. The polenta was yummy. The greens were flavorful. The sauce really pulled it together. I'd eat this again anytime. The crispness of the salmon = magic. I can't recommend this highly enough. We split a spicy Caesar salad. It was ok. Wish we had gotten a different salad. It was a decent Caesar and certainly spicy, but nothing special. Overall we took quite a bit of food home and I enjoyed all the leftovers. If I'm ever in OKC again, I'm going here first. read more

Very classy but not pretentious. Staff are quick to bring you what you request. We went for a light snack before dinner. We elected for pork stew (cup) and warm banana bread with cold butter that sits and melts after they bring it to you. My only complaint is the mocktail was very pretty but way too much ginger making it not drinkable. But if I was back in the area I would definitely visit again. Oh and the rolls with the butter in the little square container are the absolute best!! read more

Beautiful historic building. Food was both gorgeous and delicious. Servers were very personable and all over it. Great experience! Loved it!

Went here with a couple coworkers and the server was great. He laughed and joked with us which was nice to lighten up the mood at dinner. We had a great meal and the atmosphere was also good. Parking lot was small, but there was plenty of street parking around the building. They do take reservations so I would recommend making one just in case they get busy. The ribeye and the espresso martini were very good and would highly recommend. read more

Despite the many high-star rated food reviews, I thought the food was fairly average. The sizing was large, but I expected a bit more to the level of flavoring since the restaraunt had high reviews at 4.5 on Google. Maybe it was just an off day. I placed my order to-go, so I did a pick-up so I can't say much on a dine-in experience ambiance with them or the staff. I got the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. The chicken fried steak was a bit overcooked, as it was kind of dry inside. The mashed potatoes were yummy though, and bread was included. read more

Lunch at Cheever's never misses. The chicken fried steak was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smothered in that signature jalapeño cream gravy with just the right kick. The garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes were rich, buttery, and the perfect comfort-food companion. Everything tasted scratch-made and indulgent without feeling too heavy. Warm service and Cheever's cozy atmosphere make it an easy go-to for a standout lunch. read more

Another great experience. This was actually the 15th anniversary of our first date at Cheever's. Devin took great care of us and delivered fantastic service as has always been the case. We've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries with groups as large as ten. Rest assured that the staff are up to the task. We started with the famous Roasted Chicken and Pepper Jack Strudel. If you know, you know. You could honestly make a meal out of this appetizer. No trip to Cheever's is complete without the strudel. The balsamic glaze on top is amazing and a perfect addition to the plate. My husband had his favorite meal of Tortilla Crusted Alaskan Halibut. If you're looking for an interesting twist to halibut this dish is for you. I ordered a small cup of the Cheever's Chicken Tortilla Soup because it's perfection in a cup. You can order similar soups elsewhere but they are just not the same. For my entree I chose the Italian Sausage Rigatoni. Unfortunately it was a miss on this night. It's not a dish I typically choose and it isn't among my favorites but I was looking for something different. I've had it previously but it didn't taste the same tonight. Don't take this as a negative judgement because I've truly never had a bad meal. The dish was fine, but something was missing. Ordinarily we order the ice cream dessert but it was just too big for the two of us to handle. If you have a big appetite you'll be fine. We usually share it among four people. But I'll admit that we've gone to the restaurant, sat at the bar and destroyed one between the two of us. If you've never had it you must give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Heard about it forever and it was just average to say the least. The gravy was just fair and not enough of it for the price. I wouldn't go back Cheddars had had a bigger better chicken fry for a lot less money. read more

About once a year i visit this establishment, i was soo incredibly disappointed this time. I ordered the filet, while i thought it was correctly cooked, it was not, it was undercooked. That I did not mind, but the mashed potatoes ware Luke warm at best and I asked for the green beans to be subbed with the brussel sprouts which were also undercooked. I did not have the luxury of time to let the staff know. But I expected better for a 60+ tab. Staff was also inattentive, it was not busy when we arrived and ordered. TBH I may never go back, even though I've been going for years. read more

I was by myself so I sat at the bar. Very nice decor. The bartender and waiter serving the bar patrons food were both fast, friendly, and helpful. The Cocktail menu offers a few signature cocktails. The wine List is extensive. I had the chicken fried steak. The portions of the main courses are large. One would not need an appetizer. The food was excellent. The cocktail I ordered was beautiful and tasted great. The parking isn't great, although I was able to find a spot. They do require reservations, at least on Friday night. I'll be back to try another dish and another cocktail. read more

I had to write an update because we had the most amazing meal here tonight. The food was so delicious that I just want to rave about it! I had the salmon served with a polenta cake, collard greens, and a red pepper sauce. It was so deliciously flavorful that I made sure all my table mates tried some. My husband had a special which was crab stuffed shrimp, and he loved it. We have been here several times, and we know what we like to order, but we both stepped out of our box and tried something different. We were so pleased that we did! Well done, Cheever's! read more

We finally got around to trying Cheever's Cafe and it did not disappoint. I had the Tortilla Crusted Halibut and honestly don't know if I will ever try anything else - it was phenomenal!

I literally don't have a negative thing to say about this place! I love how intimate the space is-- it never got too loud or overcrowded, which I personally love. The decor was also very tasteful and fun to observe. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. We were given frequent check-ins and refills. No detail was forgotten! The food, however, was the best of all! EVERYTHING we got was absolutely delicious. There was not a single item we didn't enjoy. The shrimp and grits in particular were incredible-- super creamy and full of flavor! I'd highly recommend. Overall I'd say this place is a true gem! Our family lives an hour away from OKC, but we all collectively agreed we'd go out of our way to come back! EXTREMELY impressed with this place. read more

Thank you very much, Anri, for an outstanding first-time dining experience and for guiding us expertly through our food and drink choices! You were so friendly and kind at every point. Definitely recommend any of the cocktails...but for something light and refreshing stick with the Lavender Haze or better yet, the Rose Garden. I also had the Fact or Figtion because fig is one of my favorite flavors and it did not disappoint. We went all out with three main dishes and the very rich Bleu Cheese Potato Chips for a starter (get the half order...it's enough!) Yes, we knew we had to try the Chicken Fried Steak and it was good, but the stars were the other two dishes: the Rigatoni and the Seafood Tamale. Both were so inventive and full of flavor that each bite brought something new. I will never go back to Cheevers without ordering the Rigatoni...the combo of lemon ricotta and sun dried tomatoes was just muaaahhhh! And the tamales' masa was just perfect, with the sauce and rice complementing all of the delectable shrimp, scallops, lobster tail and veggies that you could guarantee yourself a different experience in every forkful. Perfect space for date night or a group gathering. Well lit throughout but not intrusive, and the separated table areas brought thoughtful intimacy to our dinner. And don't miss getting that ice cream ball at the end! They knew it was my date's birthday and presented us a signed Happy BDay card out of the blue...what an amazing touch. Thank you Cheever's for the consummate OKC dining memory. read more

Listen, 2,526 Google reviews can't be wrong! Make that 2,527 now. To be ranked as one of the top restaurants in all of Oklahoma City and to maintain such lofty ratings on all online platforms is an indication of impeccable quality! While road tripping through Oklahoma, I knew I had to sample a dish known as chicken fried steak, one of several foods for which the state of Oklahoma is known. And locals say that nobody makes it better than Cheever's. So I put that to the test. What they offer is the most wonderful chicken-fried steak with perhaps the most stellar batter I've ever eaten on any fried food! And I've consumed A LOT of fried foods in all 50 states, believe me! The steak isn't bad either, but it's the batter that really shines! And the mashed potatoes upon which this beautiful fried meat rests are even better! They're unusually creamy and flavorful! By the way, even the complimentary rolls at Cheever's are stunning, accompanied by the most intriguing salty butter! Yes, please stop by this spot if you're in Oklahoma City. And when your rolls run out, ASK FOR MORE! read more

Excellent food but it has been awhile since I have been here! It was great when I went and I need to go back..

The service here is incredible! We came with a group of seven including two toddlers, and the servers were so kind and so good about bringing Kid coloring pages and crayons and making sure the kids food came out first. It is also great that they have a kids menu, which consists of corn dogs, Grilled cheese sandwich and chicken strips. The adult food is, of course, phenomenal and very generous in portion sizes! The chicken fried steak should definitely be split between two people. I got the seafood tamales, which were so good. My husband got the ribeye which was cooked really well, but he did feel like the sauce overpowered the meat a little bit. The drinks are also great! We will definitely be back again hopefully for a date night without screaming kids haha. read more

This is the first time I've ordered this, and I really enjoyed the sides (AMAZING flavor!) but the chicken was not my favorite.
