    The Okie Burger
    John J.

    We decided to give the Riverside Cafe a go on this visit to Medicine Park after my son graduated from Ft. Sill. The graduation was on a Wednesday so it was not super busy and easier to accommodate a larger group . The staff was very friendly. The first waitress kind of forgot about us so another took over and the meal was saved. The view of the river is great as well as the outdoor patio but it was getting on the warmer side in June so went for the inside. I got the Okie Burger. It had shoe string onions and bacon and BBQ and ranch sauce. It was a really tasty burger and the fries were perfect. My son got the same thing. They are a great place to visit for a cafe style menu when you are in the Lawton area. You should give them a try.

    Shrimp po-boy

    We decided to try this as there was a patio and we had the pup with us. They did not have a problem with tht as long as she wasn't aggressive (she's not). They sat us inside at a booth which was a nice break from the heat. Our server brought us menus and took our drink orders. When she returned my wife ordered a shrimp po-boy and I had the plain Jane burger with all the fixings. They come on the side which was nice. I had fries and my wife ordered onion strings. Only took a few minutes and our order was out. The burger was seasoned and cook awesome and the fries were seasoned and crispy. My wife's po-boy was huge but she couldn't eat it as a sandwich so she just cut it up and pulled it apart. The onion strings were great. Prices are reasonable. They have a full bar as well. We were sitting overlooking the river (Riverside Cafe). We could see the turtles and some fish. Everyone was very nice and all thanked us on our way out. Good stop.

    Excellent view from our table!

    The view is spectacular and worth the visit. They have both a patio and inside seating. The server was in a hurry and not overly friendly, but the food was good. The catfish was excellent and the fried okra was good, but the portion was very small. We weren't crazy about the onion straws. We felt very rushed because the check arrives at the same time as the food. We felt like we needed to finish our meal and move on...which we did.

    The view from our booth. Too hot to sit outside!

    When Glenda and I do the tourist thing, every meal is on the patio if the heat allows it. Today was too hot so inside by the huge windows will work! Melissa, our waitperson was a doll. She waited on us, entertained us, charmed us, you name it! Glenda did the Cheesy Jane cheeseburger and onion strings. Burger great, onion strings ok. I did the Oklahoma Po' Boy with fries. The catfish poboy was great, but the French fries were the best I've ever had! We both slammed on the fries. I asked the lady up front about the fries. She said my husband is the cook. His seasoning. I guess I'll never know! Loved this place and the patio is a must when it cools down. If you ever make it to the Riverside Cafe, get the fries!

    Just moved to town and discovered medicine park! This little area was such a breath of fresh air compared to Lawton itself. We decided to give Riverside a try and I'm so glad we did. The service was amazing, and each person we had an interaction with was so friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Even the indoor seating has a great view of the water where you can watch the ducks and turtles swim around. And lastly, the food! It was truly some of the best I've had in a very long time. I highly recommend the baked potato salad as a side, I could eat a bowl full of that stuff, no joke Needless to say, this is our new favorite place, and we can't wait to come back

    Absolutely phenomenal. I got the Okie burger hubs got the jalapeño burger.

    Absolutely phenomenal. I got the Okie burger hubs got the jalapeño burger. The environment was so peaceful. The food was everything highly recommended if you've never been there and will be coming back!

    Not my favorite place to eat at in Medicine Park. The location along the river and the view from the deck is nice on a warm day. I appreciate that they allow dogs outside. However, they just serve fried greasy food - nothing special or over-the-top. If you are looking for a basic bite to eat with a cold beer I would suggest this place, but if you're looking for a fancier dining experience I would go elsewhere. For no more than we ordered/needed during our visit, it felt like we were here forever because the service was slow. The spicy cheese curds were just regular curds with a ton of cayenne pepper added to the batter. The french fries were good, but my burger was rather bland. My husband's chicken fried chicken was overcooked and the breading slid right off. Overall, it was just okay and I'm not sure I would return.

    Of you want a good, hearty burger with a nice view of the river, no need to drive to Meyer's. Plus, they have a pet-friendly patio for those who are traveling with a dog.

    The staff was incredibly friendly and the view was wonderful! They had lots of unique foods to choose from and they were delicious! I had the brunch burger and my husband had the bison burger. We also got the spicy cheese curds and they were SO GOOD! Definitely recommend and we would make the trip back

    Super cute atmosphere right on the river. Fun and interesting menu with lots of choices. Friendly, great service. Nachos are amazing. So was Philly cheese steak, even without the bread!

    We had birthday brunch here today for a girlfriend of mine. Mind you, the original party was 25 but my friend called two weeks ago to set up the reservation for 1pm. We waited for well over thirty minutes to be seated. Once we were, hinge went pretty smoothly. Our waiter was nice a d took drink orders first, then apps and entrees. He had no help and did a great job on his own! Shame on his management for not helping him! We started with the cowboy corn or wherever and I thought they were awesome. The BF said too hot but I thought they were delicious:)). I had the steak salad and although the greens were most likely packaged salad from Walmart or the like, the steak was delicious! Very happy

    What an intriguing place! Rustic, nostalgic! Seating was fast on a Saturday despite being busy…read more Staff were all very friendly. Service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the 8oz Meer's cheeseburgers, onion rings, and sweet teas. Everything was cooked and very flavorful. I recommend tasing the burger before adding any condiments. Onion rings were some of the best I've had.. crispy!! Sweet Tea (I live in Virginia) was on point! For dessert we had the raspberry and peach cobblers (to go as we were stuffed!). They were delicious!! Homemade for sure! They offer with ala mode which would be even better but alas that doesn't travel well. All around a great experience. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is it's cash only and you get one receipt and they don't divide it up so you'll need to pay as one group but the modern calculator can help with that. It's definitely worth the visit !!

    This isn't really a Yelp kind of restaurant in the traditional sense…read more A little shocked the reviews are so low. This place is a landmark and interesting to see. Food was fine, staff was friendly. The massive burger wasn't the best thing I've ever had but like I said, it's such an interesting stop it's not even really about the food. Glad to have taken my wife there, would go back just to try the cobbler. People in town were raving about it but just didn't have room left to order it.

    I've lived in Lawton three separate times over the past 12 years, and I finally tried Mutti's for…read morethe first time. And I loved it! The bread was fresh, the salad with pickled cucumbers and green beans was refreshing. My schnitzel plate was hot and crispy, and I couldn't decide on just one side so I got two- the German potato salad and red cabbage. I loved both. Kind of wish I would've added the sauerkraut too though. Lorenzo got the sampler plate with a little of everything, and I heard zero complaints from him. He even loved the homemade curry ketchup. But I think his favorite was the giant mug of German Dunkel he got to drink. The girls loved their kid schnitzel plate too. We could t leave without dessert, so we grabbed a lemon streusel cake to go. The best part was the atmosphere and staff though. The longer we sat, the more restless the kids got. The staff told us they had a kid's section with toys and a play tent that the girls were welcome to. They went from bouncing off the walls to not wanting to leave. I can't believe it took me so long to try Mutti's, but now I can't wait to come back!

    Mutti's is an absolute gem in Lawton. I ordered the sampler and everything on the plate was done…read moreright, hearty, comforting, and full of authentic German flavor. The sauerkraut was especially good, tangy and perfectly balanced. But what truly stole the show was something simple and unexpected: their vinegar salad. Canned green beans, fresh cucumber, and shredded lettuce soaking up the most incredible, clean, old-world vinegar dressing. It was humble, honest food done exceptionally well, the kind of dish that sticks with you long after the meal is over. You can tell this is food made with care and tradition. If you want real German comfort food, Mutti's is a must-visit. I'll absolutely be back.
