    I always love Cheevers. It is so consistent and very good. Underrated lunch spot as well. Great for a special occasion or a night out with a small group of friends.

    Italian Sausage Rigatoni
    Precious O.

    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.

    Ice Cream Ball
    Terry B.

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp and Grits - DInner

    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.

    Cheever's Chicken Fried Steak
    Tracy S.

    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.

    Butter
    April S.

    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!!

    Grilled Ribeye
    Ryan C.

    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.

    Had a really great experience here. Some of the tables are teeny tiny but the food and drinks were wonderful. Really enjoyed the crab cakes. They have lump crab and may just be the best around! Our server was super attentive and fast at everything. I'll be back!

    Cheever s Chicken Fried Steak, Garlic Red Skin Mashers
    Jojo L.

    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.

    Chicken Fried Steak
    Alex B.

    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.

    Smoked Brisket Hash
    Caleb S.

    Good rolls to start. Ordered the smoked brisket hash for my meal. It was good, but nothing special didn't have much seasoning and spices. Also lacked quantity of sweet potato's.

    Roasted Chicken and Pepper Jack Strudel
    Lane M.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Cheever's Cafe

    Is it quiet enough to have a normal conversation?

    Yes. I feel like the back dining room might be a bit louder than the area by the bar, but at weekend brunch at least, I've never had trouble having a normal conversation.

    What are the Brunch hours. Cant seem to figure that out:,(?

    From eating there a few times. When seated on a Saturday/Sunday morning early afternoon I feel like they asked if you wanted to order off the brunch menu which was dropped off with regular menu. Hopefully that makes sense.

    How to get info on private dining?

    They do have a private dining area. The only way I know to get information on it is call them for rates.

    Is the brunch menu only available on Saturdays and Sundays?

    I believe that's true. They open at 10am Sat-Sun. You might call Cheever's to confirm.

    Do you have to make a reservation or can you walk in?

    I walked in. Party of three.

    I've heard the parking at Cheever's is very limited. Is that true?

    Yes. Across the street is some parking and some on NW 23rd but be careful... there are tow away zones in the back alleys that are heavily enforced

    What gluten free options are offered?

    I do not know look at the menu

It was cold outside but warm and welcoming inside the restaurant and we were seated in a big comfy booth which I appreciated. We were immediately given water and drink orders taken. I got the juicy couture from the y2k menu which was a delicious sweet gin cocktail. The cornbread sticks and whipped butter they bring to the table is soft and salty and sweet and went great with our queso appetizer and my entree. For apps we chose the queso fundido and the tuna tartare. Both came with fresh chips that were puffy and perfectly crispy. I loved the tuna, it had a little bit of everything. Spice, salt, tang, creaminess! That luscious whipped avocado it sits on top of kept everything stuck together and easy to scoop up. The crispy queso was huge so I took the rest home. The cheese pulls were insane! Our table ordered the short rib, the filet, and the shrimp and grits entrees and everyone was so satisfied! My short rib was rich and tender and the red wine sauce was glossy goodness. Plus the gratin potatoes with the crispy edges and tons of cheese made the dish so comforting.

This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here. From the health violations and poor food safety I saw in the kitchen, the multiple tables I witnessed sending back food to the multiple parties puzzled as to why they weren't being sat or once they were entirely ignored... it was so wildly bad I was embarrassed for everyone else having the same experience. Again, don't go.

We got the Baked Chèvre for our appetizer. It was layered with flavor and a most delicious and perfect bite for a cold evening. My entree was the Rainbow Trout. The fish had crispy skin and was moist, flaky, and well seasoned. The broad bean mixture served with it was equally delicious. The hubby had Honey Roasted Lavender Chicken which he declared to be one of the best chicken dishes he's ever had. He even raved over the vegetables that came with it. Of course I also had to try dessert. I loved my warm spice cake with a scoop of ice cream and swirls of buttery caramel rum sauce. The cake was so moist and paired perfectly with the sauce and ice cream. Our wait staff was friendly and professional. I forgot to jot down names so I could give them a shout out. Excellent staff is always a part of an excellent dining experience. This was just a delightful experience. The host even gave us the name of some nearby live music venues that we enjoyed later that evening. We will certainly return here the next time we are in OKC. If you are ever in the city, make a reservation and stop by for a fabulous experience.
