All meals include family stlye spaghetti, meatballs, Ravioli,salad, anti-pasta plate and garlic bread! And that's just before the dinner starts! Went with the Grilled Italian Sausage because pasta on top of pasta is just wrong. Grilled perfectly with a char on the ends! Really good flavor and pairs really well with the sketti/rav mixture. Meatballs cooked right with plenty of sauce. Definite leftover but why be greedy and ask for seconds just to take it home. Single person serving was way more than enough. Then again when my waiter brings extra meatballs and ravioli I am in heaven! Thought about dessert which is a toss up between the Cannoli and the Chocolate Devine. Think perhaps the Italian Creme Cake though. Italian Creme Cake to Go read more

My wife and I made the trip to Pete's Place Italian Restaurant in Krebs Ok. The last time we ate there was more than 20 years ago. The restaurant was pretty much the same as I remembered. My wife and I both ordered Chicken Parmigiana. The complimentary bread was good. However the salad was chopped up lettuce drowned in vinegar. And not eatable. The chicken parmigiana was good, but nothing outstanding. The meatballs and Ravioli were ok. But needed more flavor. Overall our server was excellent. However based on our past experiences, Our food/ prices did not meet our expectations. expectations. read more

Lunch with friends at Petes last Friday. Living in OKC means we don't get to Petes often but it's on our must do list when we can make it happen. This time we were on our way to Queen Wilhemena lodge which made it easy. If you're not familiar with Petes it's an iconic restrauant rich in history and tradition. They're in a relatively new building with individual dining rooms that provide for a private, intimate dining experience Each of us ordered the Italian Lunch, an ample plate of spaghetti with two meat balls, and ravoli. The menu indicated that two ravoli came with the dish, but each our plates had five ravoli. The sauce is delectable. The complimentary bread is very good. The service was excellent. The prices moderate. read more

Pete's Place - Italian Luunch: Spaghetti, two meat balls and Ravoli. It was very good. - Italian Near Me - Krebs, Oklahoma

The food is always spot on and so tasty and delicious. The service is exceptional and the leftovers provide another meal.

We were traveling and hadn't been to Pete's in probably over 10 years so we just had to stop. Service was sweet and attentive. We were placed in our own little private dinning room. The Garlic bread arrived first and it was so warm and delicious!! Then the salad. I know some don't understand the hype about iceberg lettuce with vinegar and oil, but it is so delicious and refreshing. Especially with the cheese and olives and peppers. I ate my ravioli and meatballs first, and then tried the steak and spaghetti. It's just like going Home for a Home cooked meal. I just can't explain it. It "feels" just as good as it tastes! That's Amore!! read more

This place sucks regarding the food. The legendary status is no longer and who ever is responsible for the food on 30 December 2025 should be fired. The Chicken Parmesan lunch plate is the worst I have ever had in my life. Heck I had better Chciken Parmesan in an Army MRE cooked over a cigarette lighter. Seriously!!! The worst food and this is my 3rd time coming here in the past two years. It's actually sad to see such a famous place shit the bed like this! Food: -1/5 | Service: 3/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Pete's has had a complicated couple of years, but I still really love their food. They will always be legendary in the world of Italian food and culture in my book. Pete's used to be a lot more popular. Around the time of COVID, their prices absolutely skyrocketed, and the prices really are ridiculous. It went from a restaurant my family would go to once a week to a place we go to once in a blue moon. I mean, I love their salad, their cheese plate with the pepperoncinis and olives... and I will love their bread forever. As an Italian, I truly do enjoy their spaghetti, and it's always al denté as well. I always order either the lamb fries or the chicken parmesean... both are phenomenal in my book. The issue is, they've changed some things. Like the ravioli for example... it used to be so good, and now it's very very different and I no longer like them. Pete's has an ambiance that, in my opinion, can't be beat. I mean, you get your own private room. But even the green and white checkered floors, the wooden architecture, the authetic italian decor... it just feels cozy and nostalgic. Their service is always great. Very kind, attentive people... I don't really remember any time that I wasn't happy with the service there. I struggle with Pete's now because their prices are just unrealistic, especially in Krebs, Oklahoma. Pete's is iconic and always will be... and any chance I can, I'll eat there. I'll always be loyal to this place! read more

-5 Actually: Very Disappointing Experience I ordered the chicken Parmesan, which is supposed to come with a side salad and spaghetti, and the entire plate was extremely disappointing. First, the presentation was very poor. The chicken was paper-thin, the crust was overcooked, and the cheese on top was overly melted to the point that it was crusty and unappetizing. The taste was horrible. The plate was completely overloaded with red sauce--so much that I could barely see the food underneath. The side salad was not a salad at all. It appeared to be nothing more than old iceberg lettuce that looked weeks past fresh. There were no tomatoes, no dressing, no toppings--just dry, wilted lettuce. The spaghetti was just as bad. It had absolutely no flavor and a rubbery, plastic-like texture. It was very hard and didn't even seem properly cooked. Overall, this was one of the worst Italian meals I've had. I expected much better quality and care in both food preparation and presentation. read more

The bread had mold. The meal was rushed. The food was bland and cold and not fully cooked. The dr pepper was good.

As a kid in the 1970s, going to Pete's Place was an event. The kind of place where families dressed up, packed into station wagons, and waited in line just to get a taste of that legendary Italian feast. It was warm, loud, and full of incredible smells. It felt like Italy had opened a portal in Oklahoma -- and it was worth every minute of the wait. Fast-forward to today, and I walked in with a heart full of nostalgia and an empty stomach. I walked out with a stomach full of regret and a heart broken by flavorless sauce and freezer-burned memories. Let's start with the tomato sauce, the supposed backbone of Italian cuisine. It was bland, watery, and uninspired -- like someone had strained a can of Hunt's through a dishrag and called it Sunday gravy. Not even a hint of garlic, no herbs, no depth -- just red sadness. The chicken Parmesan was an abomination. Pounded so thin I could see through it, it was more batter than bird, and what little meat was in there had the texture of overcooked jerky. Crispy? No. Juicy? Not a chance. It was like chewing a breaded rubber sole. The meatballs were clearly frozen -- perfectly round, dense, and entirely devoid of flavor. You could roll them across the table and play bocce. Homemade? Only if your home has a walk-in freezer and a wholesale account. Then came the ravioli, and I use that term loosely. Thick-edged pasta pouches with a weird, gummy bite, stuffed with mystery filling that tasted like damp cardboard. The only thing Italian about them was the disappointment. The grilled chicken was another highlight of horror -- tough, dry, and suspiciously uniform. It had that unmistakable freezer-to-flattop texture, with the flavor of regret and the chew of boiled shoe leather. And then -- the salad. Oh, the salad. A swampy, vinegar-heavy puddle with a few sad cubes of cheese floating like survivors on a life raft. It wasn't dressed -- it was drowned. I didn't know whether to eat it or send in a rescue boat. Even the bread, once a highlight, tasted a day or two past its prime. Not terrible, just tired. Like it had given up, just like the rest of the meal. Pete's Place used to be a jewel of small-town Oklahoma dining -- now, it's a culinary time capsule that's been buried too long. If you have fond memories, cherish them, but don't go digging them up. What's there now isn't Pete's Place -- it's just a bland, frozen, deep-fried impersonation. read more

This place is definitely not worth the money. The private dining rooms are a nice touch, and they do have a solid beer selection--though it's an odd pairing with a pasta-focused menu. Unfortunately, the food itself was very mediocre. For the prices they charge, I expected much better. The service was also disappointing. We had a large group, but we made a reservation, so they should have been prepared. We were given one serving of pitcher of water and never received refills, even after asking several times. I ordered a beer that didn't arrive until I was nearly finished with my meal. My lasagna entrée took an extremely long time to come out, and the "all you can eat" spaghetti, meatballs, and ravioli dishes were also slow to arrive and cold. We only received one bread basket serving. By the time we got the bill, it was another mess altogether. Overall, the experience was frustrating from start to finish. I would not recommend this restaurant. Save your money--you'll get far better food and service at the nearby Modo Mío Italian place. read more

Definitely quantity over quality!! Atmosphere was good and different. They need to add some Italian seasoning to the food it was sooo bland... read more

The atmosphere is unique and the concept is good but the food has been Americanized too much. The sauce is dark and heavy, which reels me it has a lot of canned tomato paste and sauce. I have traveled throughout Italy and the sauce in Italy is a bright vibrant red made from fresh tomatoes. This is definitely not that. read more

My Dad passed away and we had been traveling from Ohio back home to Texas. We were seated in a small room with a single table for 6. There was no ambiance or sight of other people. I ordered the Italian lunch special ( spaghetti with meatballs and ravioli) salad is extra $3.25. I don't care for fat spaghetti noodles so I requested angel hair, they don't offer angel hair spaghetti. Overall, the separation gave no ambiance, kinda felt closed in after traveling in a car for so long but the sauce and ravioli was deep and savory. The salad had the perfect vinegar and oil mix, garlic bread was wonderful. Meatballs and lasagna was just average. An Italian restaurant should offer pasta's of spaghetti whether it be regular, thin or angel. The ravioli was very very good with their sauce. B+ read more

We stopped here on the way back from Dallas to Tulsa recently. Seating was immediate, and the food started coming quickly. Small nibbles of cheese and tasty bread helped set the stage. A simple Italian salad is also served and a nice starter. It's basically a family style place with everyone enjoying certain Italian favorites such as spaghetti and ravioli. We tried the chicken parm, Italian sausage, fried shrimp, and lasagna. Sharing is a good idea so everyone can try a little bit of it all. Now this was my first time, so I was not familiar with the "private room" seating and such. We were in an interior room, so no windows. Seemed like dining in an office conference room. The service was very good though - attentive but not overbearing. Food quality was average - I'm not a fan of large volume and unfortunately often overcooked pasta... this seemed mass produced versus a made to order and personally more appealing al dente where appropriate. It's a fun experience for a large group, but I wouldn't describe it as exceptional due to the food quality. They've been there a very long time, so as with many places, it's definitely a matter of personal preference -- and clearly LOTS of people love the place. read more

2 star food. 4 star service and ambiance. So I give it a 3. The red sauce is very bland. I see someone on another review said school cafeteria taste and I can't disagree.

The best thing about this place is the neat little private dining rooms and the history. read more

This place was really cool! A group of 7 of us decided to try Pete's as we were in the area with our RV club. The restaurant was very clean and the staff friendly. What makes this place really unique is that rather than having a large dining room, they have separate rooms for each dinner party. We were seated in a room that holds 8. And they have rooms that are much larger. As it was the weekend, the lunch menu was not available. So on the dinner menu, each meal includes the Italian Dinner. From there, if desired, you can spend a little more to get an addition to your meal, such as Lasagna, etc. Our meal began with salad and garlic bread. The salad had a vinegar based dressing on it and it was super tart. Could have used more oil to cut the vinegar. Salad was followed by antipasta plates with cheese, peppers and olives. Yummy. Then the food came out. Large platters of meat ravioli with meatballs covered and a savory red sauce. Then large platters of spaghetti covered in the same red sauce. I enjoyed the platters of food but feel the sauce could have been a bit more inspired. Perhaps more italian herbs and garlic to take it to the next level. read more

I enjoyed everything. The food was amazing. The portions were huge. The salad was perfect and the homemade dressing was delicious. The only problem was my waitress was a little slow at the end. I had to wait 20 minutes for her to come back to collect payment for the meal after she dropped off the ticket and I said don't run off. I have the cash and can pay right now. She was gone for 20 minutes! read more

Amazing food!! And Amazing people!! everyone was really respectful and just a pleasure will definitely go back!

I'll preface by saying I'm from Chicago. So I've had my fair share of good food. I went here with about 20 coworkers for dinner. The service was excellent. I ordered the ribeye rare and they did not disappoint. I do not like mushrooms so I told them to no thank you for those. They come on top. My friend ordered it with mushrooms and he did NOT like them. The steak itself, however, was one of the best I have had. Absolutely terrific. I was very surprised. As you will read in other comments, the pasta is somewhat lacking. Crazy, I know. BUT!!!!! They have an excellent beer selection from the local brewery. If you like sour beers, you will be in heaven. They even have a cooler up front and you can purchase 6 packs to go and have a great selection to choose from. Shred the mushrooms and change the marinara sauce recipe and it's 5 stars easy. read more

Pete's Place - Ribeye - Italian Near Me - Krebs, Oklahoma

Crazy local place, they have a ton of private dining rooms where they serve a wide variety of entrées, with family style sides which could be considered to meal in themselves. They have a lot of unique offerings, such as, Lamb fries. I didn't care for them much, could've use some seasoning. The local grilled Italian sausages were incredible. They bring out spaghetti and meatballs, and ravioli and salad family style for everyone to share with their entrées. I was there with a large group, everyone agreed that the Family style sides were better than the entrées. I gave three stars simply based on the food flavor. The service is out of this world, and they did a fantastic job for a party of 20. They also serve some amazing house-made brew, everybody loves the beer. I had the Miner, And I was incredible. Several other guys tried the IPAs and loved them. read more

I've never left a bad review but here we go. Had always heard about this place so stopped on our way home from a weekend at Robbers Cave. The food prices were very high, but we went for it thinking it would be worth it. Far from it and we felt robbed that I could make better Italian food at home for under $10. No flavors or seasoning, super bland and no Italian flare that you would think - basically the most basic flavorless, un-creative food ever. It was $35 for shrimp Alfredo and they brought out a plate of it the size of my hand! Thought it was supposed to be family style aka large plates! Also they make you buy an entree per person so you don't really get any "free" or "included" food at all like the menu would allude. Our service was not great either. We felt silly after eating here, I feel like it's a tourist trap that we fell for. Will not go back or recommend, sorry. The only reason I did not leave 1 star is because I feel like 1 star is reserved for the absolute worst and this place at least was edible it just wasn't good. read more

My wife and I went with our 1 year old and we wanted to share because the meals are $27-$40 a piece but they wouldn't allow us to share at all. I read another review that they charged a couple who shared. We left because we couldn't justify that kind of money and wasting food That is just crazy. Now if your meals were $10-$14 like Mío Modos or Roseanna's then okay but we wouldn't have eaten even half of the food and it would've gone to waste. Outrageously priced for average food. I do not recommend. read more

I still love Pete's Place. I've been here at least half a dozen times and I'll keep coming here when I'm around here. One of the women I was traveling with has celiac (gluten intolerance) so ate had to eat gluten free.

A solid place that you feel compelled to visit at least once a year. That's how I sum up Pete's place. I would NOT recommend Pete's for dinner with a four hour drive before you, but I would recommend it for dinner (once or twice a year). The staff is always friendly and service is good. The small private dining rooms might freak some out, but it is a relaxing setting. The dinners come family style with spaghetti, meatballs and raviolis coming with the entrees you order. For instance, if you order the chicken breast, that's all that will be delivered to your plate---everything else will be piled high in the middle of the table like the aforementioned pasta, bread, antipasto plate, and salad. Decent wine selection and of course there's Choc beer. There's also a freezer with premade pasta items and shelves with their own pasta and salad dressing lines. They also carry Lovera products. Anywhoo, it's a destination with plenty of food. read more

I high extra high hopes for this place considering it is supposed to be like the " Little Italy " of Oklahoma in Krebs. The concept of the private rooms is super cool although extremely outdated. It's like being on a train to me in a little dining car, which was fun! Waitress was attentive and friendly and then the food comes... you get a Antipasto plate which is anything but a true antipasto plate! You get a few cheese slices, some greens olives and a Pepperoni on a big plate it is so random then you get a salad which is COVERED I mean COVERED in vinegar and it's just sour and salty gross iceberg ( which should never be used) is soaking literally soaking wet! Then you get pasta which comes with each entrée. The sauce was watery and lacked bold flavors of pasta sauce to make it worse, the pasta was completely over cooked almost mushy. GOOD Italian spaghetti is beautifully Al dente. We ordered the sausage which is local Loveras and delicious when we buy at the farmers market and cook it ourselves but they ruined this. It was burned to a crisp and dry as a bone I took it home and ended up throwing it away a total waste and WAY overpriced for one sausage on a giant plate! My wife got lasagna which she described as just bland and watery like the pasta was. Overall wouldn't go back and the prices are utterly obscene for such poor quality food. I didn't get pics of the food but it wasn't worth photographing. read more

Pete"s is located in Krebs Okla, a short drive from. McAlester. They have good service, but their food misses the mark. They have large portions, but the food isn't good quality. I ordered the Italian sausage, which is made locally. The entree comes with garlic bread, spaghetti, a ravioli, and a meatball. From Yelp, I knew not to order the iceberg only salad for $3. The ravioli was thick and doughy. The meatball was the best part of the meal. The pasta was cooked al dente, which I liked. But the sauce was not impressive. It needed some fresh herbs because it was bland and flavorless. This place could really be a rural gem if they improved the quality of their food. read more

Pete's Place - Italian sausage entree - Italian Near Me - Krebs, Oklahoma

Seems like Pete et al have lost their way at some point. Pasta sauce tastes weird. Tomato puree and water top the ingredient list. Lots of different spices to attempt to cover the commercial taste. Dinner is about twice the price as Rosanna s down the street. Lasagna came with bread, antipasto, and a platter of spaghettoni big enough for 4-6 people. Wait Staff were top-notch, seating is in private rooms, nice. Doubt I'll be back. read more

It's been years that I've eat n there but would go back. I still think about this place when I want Italian food.

Very mixed feelings for this place. I'll start with the good- the actual entrees were amazing. I had the fried chicken & my boyfriend had the steak and both were incredibly tasty & I wish that could've been all I ate. The setup of the restaurant is very cool & private, you get your own little room. The lamb fries appetizer was also tasty! I didn't enjoy the salad at all, it was lettuce that was drowning in a vinaigrette. The excess dressing should've been drained & it just wasn't appealing. A few extra ingredients would go a long way. For the entrees you are served bread, spaghetti, antipasta plate, meatballs & ravioli family style. Which out of everything I only enjoyed the bread. It was all very bland. I wish it was an option to get just an entree without the family style extras, because the fried chicken was very good. A lot of people seem to enjoy this place & they are very well known for their choc beer. read more

This place is unique in it's own way. Not only is it nestled back in a little town. It's uniqueness is that it is family owned, and it's also served family style for many years now. Pete's place has had many visitors over the years that were and are now celebrities. Their Italian roots definitely come out in their amazing foods and gravy's. This place has a lot of history involved with it so please take the time to browse and purchase something to show everyone that you have been to a place we're celebrities hang out. A few things I cover in my reviews are as follows: 1. The thermostat was to reflect the customers interest not the staffs. In other words the kitchen had their own HVAC system. 2. Is the establishment clean and clutter free? Yes and restrooms were well kept as well. 3. Would I recommend you to visit? Most definitely!! If you are making a drive from Tulsa or Oklahoma City it's totally worth the stop!!!! I would even venture to say I would go out of my way to come back. In closing the staff had great attention to detail and food was really good. Looking forward to seeing you at my next visit!! Yokokee Robert read more

Sigh, been here before in sept 2019. I didn't like the taste. At all. Bland bland bland! My BF and I stopped in Krebs on the way home from a three day hike/ camp south. We had NO intentions of eating here but isle of Capri was closed soooo we ended up here :((. We were greeted right away and got seated within minutes. Our waitress brought us water but we had no glasses lol. She brought us the water jug and left it lol. I got the chicken and my bf got the feast. They have a weird drink limit of two per person and no doubles. I asked to sample a couple of wines and was told they can't do that??? So I got a Pinot Grigio. They feed you a lot for sure! You get cheese and raviolis. Then salad and they ask you if you want refills so your fed a lot! You also get spaghetti - lots of it. It's the sammmmr tasteless sauce. Bland and no pizazz like Italian food should have! The meatballs - bland. The Italian dressing is so thick but it's yummy. The bread was sooo good! It was an Italian butter bread! The chicken was good and my bf never got his meal meal because I guess the apps were his meal lol???? I asked for a dessert menu and our waitress said it was in her head lol. She listed the options and I asked if they were homemade there. No. Omggg so no I don't want some shipped in dessert! The cost? Two draft beers and two glasses of mine plus grilled chicken and the feast (everything on the app menu), $71!!!! Outrageous. If I were you looking for food options in Krebs, I'd save lots of money and go to the Seinfeld like shop down the street called The Gorilla Store. Have the muffelata or another sammich. They're delicious! And cheap too!!! read more
