The owner on duty today is the brother-in-law to the owner of the Izzy Flat Grill on old Highway 33 near Catoosa. I told him that we have dined at the other restaurant several times and really enjoy the food. That is why we decided to try the Inola restaurant also. After the meal he asked, "which one was the best?" Nope, not falling in to that trap. My answer "They are both good."
Inola should thank the owners for cleaning up the eyesore that this building was to the city. The owners gutted the building. Remodeled inside and out, and added a nice parking area. Nothing fancy inside, but it is clean and has clean new restrooms.
The food is essentially the same as the other Izzy Mexican Flat Grill. The stand out of the restaurant's foods, are the well flavored meats, excellent sauces, good portions and fair prices. The red sauce used on the enchiladas is the real deal, red chili sauce, not tomato sauce. The green is equally delicious. The red salsa served with the chips is good, but ask for the red and green salsa picante. The red is absolutely fantastic, smokey, spicey and hot. High marks for the refried beans too.
My wife had a chicken Taco salad and I had the three-enchilada lunch, all beef, one with red sauce one with cheese and one with green sauce. Great meals. Both meals came with chips and drinks.
Eat here Inola! read more
