    The Choice Cafe an intimate American style diner on the south side. Menu February 2017.
    Mary Margaret M.

    The Choice Café is an immigrant owned hole-in-the-wall serving some of the most delicious food in the area. The menu cover shares the story of long-time owner, Sonny, who came to America to be a petroleum engineer. He put himself through college at OU by working at restaurants. He worked in the oil fields, but missed home cooked meals, as the story goes. He worked in various big restaurants and in 1996 decided to open his own spot-a tiny mom & pop café now known as Choice Café located on S. Shields. He is the main man in the kitchen and certainly knows his way around. I dropped in for lunch recently and was really surprised. I didn't know what to expect, but I left full and really happy and planning for my return. I heard about this spot from folks that work in the area--it came highly recommended and boy were they right. --FOOD-- They hand-cut their potatoes for French fries each morning, the waitress told me. That was enough for me--yes, please!! I was delighted with the fries. They were served hot (a MUST for fries) and were dusted with a tasty seasoning--I couldn't get enough. I heard the waitress calling orders back to the kitchen as we sat and waited for our food. I heard her call out a dish with a double side of French fries and now I know why--don't miss out--they are awesome. I had the gyro on pita bread. It was so wonderful. It had the perfect balance of gyro meat, veggies and sauce. I will definitely be back to order the gyro & fry combo again. Every bite was so scrumptious. The chicken sandwich wrap was also so very yummy. The chicken was tender and juicy. The wrap had a great balance of flavor and was a winner. Their pecan pie is off-the-chain. If you like pecan pie, treat-yo-self. It is well worth it. --SERVICE-- We had a wonderful waitress. She took care of all of us and ran the register. She was busy, but was always sure to check in on us and was happy to give recommendations as well--which were spot on. I enjoyed her honesty, attention to detail, and hospitality. --OVERALL-- I really enjoyed my experience here. It is a tried-and-true hole in the wall. As far as hole-in-the-walls go, this is a new favorite. Its not a steakhouse, its not a fast food restaurant, its not a elegant place, but for what it is, it does IT well. I hope if you are in the area and looking for a spot to eat, you will give Choice Café a try, I highly recommend it.

    I often find myself daydreaming of these Chili Cheese dogs. Hands down the best I've ever had!! Choice Cafe is my favorite hole in the wall spot. The hours are very short (I think they close by 3pm?) so get it while you can!! Follow me on IG for more :) @Mayras_Foodgram

    I was blown away by how clean this place is. The woman running the show was very friendly and on top of it all. My food is delicious . I've been working over here more than 6 months and now I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. WOW. As someone that's ran multiple restaurants over the years I am very impressed. Definitely will become a regular. Thanks to the kitchen staff also.

We ordered: Green Smoothie Bowl (V) Avocado, banana, spinach, cauliflower topped with toasted coconut, Big Sky Bakery granola, peanut butter, maple syrup House-Made Whipped Ricotta Seasonal jam, fresh seasonal fruit, spiced nuts, sliced brioche from Bui's Bread B.L.T. House-made bacon jam, lettuce, tomato, avocado, pickled red onion, vegan basil mayo, ciabatta roll What a delightful surprise, as the offerings here are like no museum cafe I have ever visited at home or abroad. Artfully designed menu options and a setting of peaceful tranquility to enjoy your selections. Professional and knowledgeable servers offering suggestions to meet all tastes. A fabulous destination even if you don't plan to visit the museum. Call (405) 768-2845 to place your order. Open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday-Sunday. Closed Tuesdays. Five stars plus!

We had the Mushroom Reuben, the BLT, the open faced shrimp sandwich and the Avocado Linguini. Our appetizers were the salmon potato cakes and the milk bread with whipped ricotta and peach jam (if I remember correctly). The Salmon cakes were really dense with fish and tasted a bit like crab cakes but obviously made of Salmon. It came with a corn cream sauce. Good dish but I think the Japanese Milk Bread & Ricotta was the star. SO GOOD! It was all lightly sweet but the jam with ricotta and the added nuts + fruits - a top notch appetizer for sure. The Mushroom Reuben was good but I'm a meat lover so I did miss the meat but it was still hearty with tons of mushroom with the tanginess of the sauerkraut. Good vegan choice if that's what you prefer. My wife liked it cuz it was different. I enjoyed the BLT. Nice thick bread with all the fixings. Both dishes came with brocolli salad. The brocolli salad was good. It does have nuts in it though so don't let that catch you by surprise. The shrimp sandwich looked good and our friend ate it all so I'm going to give it a thumbs up. All the sandwiches came with some really flavorful bread and butter pickles! The linguine was a bit of a let down. It called for asparagus or something but they ran out of the veggie so our friend basically just paid for pasta and edamame. I personally don't think it was worth it and it was lacking in salt. Overall, this place was good. Portions are good (not huge but enough). Service was quick and friendly. They have a lot of vegan options so if you are vegan, this place is a gem.

    Review #103 (Arbor Café)…read more Location: The Arbor Café is located in the First Americans Museum (FAM) on the 1st floor in the north east side, by the FAM 39 Restaurant. Hours: Open during FAM hours during grand opening weekend Sat, 18 Sep, and Sun, 19 Sep, 8am-5pm; Mon, 20 Sep, 10am-5pm. The manager told me last night hours may vary based on need and availability. Then open during normal hours starting on Wed, 22 Sep, about 10am-5pm Thursdays and Fridays, then on Saturdays and Sundays 11am-5pm. Closed on Tuesdays like the FAM. Drinks: They offer various coffee drinks, from coffee sourced by local Native Americans. One source they use is O-Gah-Pah brand coffee. They offer non-caffeine drinks too like juices, water, etc.. Food: They offer various snacks and food sourced and made from local Native American cultures and chefs, that are made in the 39 Restaurant; but offer a quicker service choice than the formal restaurant. Seating: there are a few tables and chairs in the café area to sit at or you can take your food outside to walk around the grounds. Decor/Design: They have the "Arbor" sign in tan lettering with the "o" in circular tree branches/limbs. The chairs are orange with the tree branches/limbs design and cut-out with spaces, as it is called "Arbor." The tables have beige, tan, and brown wood. {Posted on Sun, 19 Sep 2021}

    I came here expecting wonderful food due to previous reviews, but, in reality, our food came to us…read more50/50%. Please let me explain. I came in and it took a few minutes before someone cane out of their very closed-off kitchen to receive my order. The gentleman did get my order and ensured himself and me that he heard my order correctly...I appreciated that! I ordered three gyros, one without the sauce and another just meat and bread with the third gyro being a full gyro without any special instructions. I also order the kafta, and I am so glad I did! There were several people that came in after me. They all went to the counter and waited without anyone coming out to take their order. Most left as they were all enclosed behind the wooden room divider. This divider certainly did divide the staff and their customers. One could not see into the kitchen at all nor a staff member to see their customers. It was a very strange set-up. When a customer comes into a restaurant, they usually are able to see someone there, but not here. The divider goes from the floor to the ceiling. It is a shame, truly. The dining room held a few tables and chairs. Everything was very clean. No complaints there. I soon received my food and went home. All the gyro sauces are kept in tiny plastic to-go cups. Most of the tops had popped off, during my ride home, leaving most of the sauce covering the inside of the bag, making quite a mess and leaving us with very little sauce. Unloading the sack, very gingerly due to this sauce, I found our order was complete and perfectly executing per my instructions. That is a great feat in itself! I was so happy that I didn't have to call asking for a forgotten gyro or one that was not made properly. We all sat down to eat our gyros and all were going to sample the kafta. The kafta was so very good. It was still hot and juicy! The spices and the meat just made our mouths so happy. We all loved it! The gyros though, were a sad experience for all of us. The gyro kept was mostly VERY dry with some meat being actually crispy and way too dried out! The gyro bread was very dry as well. None of us were able to finish our gyros. The hungriest of us had three bites out of his. We really tried but the sauce did not even make it right as the sauce failed to cover-up that dryness! The owner is most welcome to say his piece as is evident they excercise their right with most of the reviews that are short of singing their praises. But I think that if these reviews are read by them in a way that they were open to constructive criticism, and used that energy in a positive way to figure out what they need to do to protect the meat and bread from drying out as they do the kafta, both the customers and they would help winners. I want to come back soon and try them again with much hope that they have found a way to keep the meat and bread from drying out. If so, my mouth will sing the staff and gyro their praises! I would then be a very happy and consistent customer of LoQm'e! Blessings to you all.
