I have been a fan of Rainbow Bistro since its opening 3 years ago. The owner is very passionate about food, service and the overall ambience! Inside and out, this place truly feels like it could be in Palm Springs! From the Schnitzel to great burgers! (My favorite burger is the Jager burger, with the dark Jager sauce). Yum! So many wonderful sides to choose from including his mother's signature dish, Helga's Potato Salad! (My favorite side is the Spaetzle!) He has great desserts to offer also. From lemon bars to carrot cake to the very delicious and popular Rainbow Cake! Wine and beer on tap also. I feel this little place is a hidden gem in OKC! Give it a try! read more

A true gem. Every single menu item I had the pleasure of trying was mind-glowingly delicious. The drama queen reuben was a masterpiece of a sandwich with its pickled red cabbage. And the German potato salad didn't last long because it was so delicious. I also got to try the special hot honey schnitzel sandwich and omg what a delight. And the food here isn't the only wonderful reason to stop in. The staff here are wonderful, kind human beings who are so welcoming and lovely. They took amazing care of us and were an absolute delight. The whole experience warmed my heart and filled my belly and I couldn't stop thinking about how quickly I could return to do it all over again. read more

I have indeed returned, and it is still just as marvelous as before. Eat here. It's delicious. Leave a big tip, they deserve it. Joy and happy tummies are here. read more

The people were very nice. I won't say the burger was bad, but there was something weird about the meat. It was mushy though it was done and tasted kinda like meatloaf without the tomato sauce and stuff, almost like the meat had a filler in it to save on meat. The bacon on the burger was fried well and the pimento cheese was good. I am not a tater tot fan at all, but the only choices were those, German potato salad which isn't my thing or potato chips so I chose the best of the three choices. It's a very small place but as a said the people are nice and the place is very clean. I don't think I'd go back though, but some of the other stuff may be better. They have a lot of German food. read more

Rainbow Bistro - Pimento Cheese Bacon Cheeseburger and Tots - Cafes Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Food was yummy! I would go again! Super cute vibe, loved the art. LGBT friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating.

This place is pretty great! If you're looking for a nice little bistro with a German food influence, this is the place to go. Located in the 39th a street district, once you walk inside the Rainbow Bistro, you'll be greeted with a hello and a smile. The bistro is clean and the art is eclectic...expect a lot of personality inside. The menu names are tongue-in-cheek and I had a giggle while deciding what to order. There's outdoor seating, and if you're looking for a quick lunch, you can sit at the counter or take it to-go. There's also parking right in the front. The food is reasonably price (especially for the quality). They have a few traditional dessert selections and they offer Coca-Cola products in the can, ice tea and MOCKTAILS! I had the charcuterie pretzel board. The meat and cheese was really good. It came with three sauces. My favorite was the "awesome sauce". It had a mild curry taste and was great for the pretzel and the meats. The awesome sauce is VERY popular in Germany. The pretzel came out nice and hot and the olives were a great compliment. If you get the large board, it's perfect for two. Next time I plan on trying the "Big Helga" a classic Reuben. This could easily become your regular lunch or dinner stop just give it a try. Pssst, I was told a secret that some exciting new menu items are on the way. read more

Great place to dine in or onthe patio and also for take-out. Love the schnitzel sandwich and potato salad. Will definitely be returning.

Alright, something about me, I LOVE BACON CHEESEBURGERS. Now I want to give credit where it's due! The meat on the Bistro burger is FIRE and the Tots were good. The vibe is okay, the service was friendly, and food was good if you are hungry! If you do get a burger please have them toast the burger. The meat is seasoned good to have cold buns. I will come back though. read more

We decided to test the Rainbow Bistro in the 39th Street district for dinner. The Jagger schnitzel with the hunter gravy for me, and the schnitzel for my wife. Our sides were the red cabbage, potato salad, & potato soup. The crust on the schnitzel was cooked to a golden brown, crispy, & tasty. The hunters' gravy on the other schnitzel was chock-full of mushrooms and meat. The schnitzel was fantastic. The best schnitzel we've had since Old Germany closed down. Both the red cabbage & potato salad were first rate. My wife said that the red cabbage was also the best she'd ever had. The potato soup was a nice warmer upper on this cold, rainy evening. Finally, we finished off our meal with a triple chocolate brownie. Not overly sweet with the right amount of chocolate, yummy! When Ingrid's closed, we had no idea where we would get our teutonic satisfaction. The Rainbow Bistro has filled the bill on that score. The hours are a little different than most restaurants. Thursday through Saturday. Check with the Bistro before driving there. All in all, it was a very nice experience. We will make the Rainbow Bistro one of our regular haunts. read more

So love their Muffuletta! The best I have had in a long long time. (Nick's on 23rd and Western had the best. That was probably 50 years ago) They had a lot of items to choose from. I am going to go back and try them all. The ambiance was unique with some fun comic books to reminisce upon. For the side option for my Muffuletta, I picked Helga's potato salad. OMG, I almost had to go look to see if Helga was in the back! It was delicious. So impressed. This place is going to be FUN! read more

The food is great! Get the potato salad, if they haven't run out for the day. It's soooo good.

Popped into rainbow bistro today. The customer service was amazing and the sandwiches were delicious. It's a very cute spot. Will be back for sure read more

Great sandwiches! I had the red queen and German potato salad, so tasty! Staff was friendly and the service was quick!

This place is awesome! Mom and I came in after a friend recommended, and we were super pleasantly surprised. Owner was super sweet and friendly and the food was KILLER. Several of the recipes came direct from his German mother, and it shows! I got the Hot Mess and my mom ended up getting the Reuben. The German potato salad was also delicious, and the apple streusel cheesecake was a perfect bonus! Highly recommend this little gem! read more

My husband got the hot mess. It was delicious. Very good meat. He also got the potato soup- "to die for". I got the traditional Rueben (big helga). It was VERY good. The owner was so nice and friendly as well as our server. We love supporting small businesses and this is definitely one to support. Thank you! Oh- and don't pass up on the heathbar cookie, to die for :) read more

The food was just OK. The hot dogs need to be served on a hotdog bun....no need to foo foo up a hotdog! Also, the menu is quite small and specific. A little more variety would be great. Simple, good-tasting food is preferable to trying too hard. read more

The food is excellent, customer service above average and the decore completes the experience!!
