    We met friends in Sapulpa which is on the opposite side of Tulsa from us so we rarely make it over…read morethere. Decided to ask the former fire chief for a recommendation and he said try Crossroads Cookery. Our friends wanted to go antiquing so this was right in the heart of Sapulpa's antique area, so perfect place for lunch. I really enjoyed all the care they took with making it feel nostalgic but classy at the same time. It's a lovely restaurant but they also have an ice cream parlor area, bar and coffee bar. Now the food was ok for some of us and one in our party got a way overcooked burger that was dry so it sucked for her. My Santa Fe bowl was so good and I recommend it. Hubby got the string onions for the table to share and they were delicious. Our server was really interesting and friendly as well as took care of us. We'll definitely go back during the Christmas Chute!

    You know when you kind of love a place so much you almost don't want the whole world to find out…read moreabout it? That was this place for me. I had noticed it before when visiting the Christmas Chute, but the reviews were a little mixed so we never gave it a try. Fast forward to this weekend when we got invited to a birthday at the speakeasy upstairs... and I'm so glad we finally went. First of all -- they're doing a great job with the speakeasy concept because I genuinely had no idea it was there. It's upstairs above the restaurant and you need a code word to get in. Since we were already there, we decided to have dinner first and the menu honestly surprised me in the best way. It's very much Southern comfort food, but elevated a bit. The vibe inside is eclectic and interesting. The staff was super friendly, and even on a Saturday night it wasn't overly busy. The new streets in Sapulpa look great now that the construction is finished, but because most of the parking is behind the buildings the street can look like a ghost town even when places are actually busy. Kind of a weird illusion. They start you off with bread and a trio of fresh butters which was unexpected and delicious. The bread itself wasn't anything fancy, but the butter definitely was. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered from the kids menu (which I very much appreciated did not say "12 and under"). I got a grilled cheese and the waitress suggested adding a cup of tomato bisque. Yes please. Both were excellent. My husband ordered the grilled chicken and said it was moist and really good. They also have a full bar and a huge coffee bar, which I thought was a fun touch. Then we headed upstairs to the speakeasy and it's a whole different vibe up there. Very cool space. Also extremely eclectic. Think Tommy Bahama meets world traveler's curio cabinet. There were travel finds from around the world displayed in cases, parrot chandeliers, a baby grand piano, and a cheetah print pool table. It somehow all works. Live music was by Steve Lindell and he was fantastic. Two thumbs up. Bar service was great, just a little slow -- but to be fair I don't think they were expecting a 40-person birthday group to roll in all at once. All in all it was a fantastic night. If it wasn't about 45 minutes from my house, we would probably be regulars. But maybe it's okay if it stays just a little bit of a hidden gem.

The bar was lively and I'm sure at peak hours the booths and high tops are full of folks enjoying their meals and drinks. For our meals we had the chicken cobb salad with cajun ranch dressing.

I also got the salmon with grits and greens to go and as of this review I haven't eaten it. If the other items are an indication then I know this will be good.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and the smell coming from the kitchen was a treat all in itself! The waitress was amazing and made a few recommendations, which we took. I didn't get a picture of the biscuits but if you go her and don't get them, it's your loss! These country biscuits were some of the best I ever tasted! They came with a strawberry syrup/jam that was incredible! At the advice of the waitress, I had the Cajun Seafood Pasta! It was everything I hoped for and more! It was delicious! All the favors of New Orleans! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!

We got here at the end of breakfast so the buffet line was set . Breakfast cooked to order. Starting at 10:30 people started coming in. Then come more people. Then more people, then more people. A testament to the food, service and the friendliness of the staff!! It is a nice clean restaurant, a little noisy, but it's a fun, feel-good friendly noise. Food on the buffet is beautiful.

Our experience was great, the staff friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere pretty chill with historical pictures on the walls. Hubs got the prime rib with sweet potato fries and green beans. They offer creamy horseradish or grated, as well as an au jus. Green beans needed a tab bit more salt for our taste but they were vibrant green and delicious! I got the blackened chicken with a loaded baked potato and green beans. The chicken was super moist and well cooked. The blackening seasoning was mild to my taste but I also drink hot sauce like soda pop so this may be a personal preference thing. The baked potato was big, fluffy, and filled with butter, cheese, and bacon. Topped it off with some S&P and it was absolutely hitting all high notes of a solid great baked potato for me. They've got some alcoholic choices but we stuck to sweet tea (theirs is perfect) and Dr. Pepper(my Texan husband said they got "the mix" right). While we were leaving we were told to check out the cat fish next time, and trust, dear reader, there WILL be a next time.

For my starter I ordered "Our Nice Little Salad" this beauty was crisp, fresh, and had tomatoes that popped in your mouth and bursted with flavor. The in-house croutons had that perfect buttery crunch, spiced pecans added a unique boldness and the homemade ranch was thick and creamy. I will say I had to ask three times for ranch. I just kept waiting. For our main courses we had the bone-in pork chop. Thick, juicy, and properly rested paired with red mashed potatoes.... Which were very good. The seasonal corn - was gone so quick! It was just so delicious. Ate that right up!! The shrimp scampi leaned heavily into garlic and butter in the best possible way. Shrimp were big, tender and juicy. Unfortunately my rotisserie chicken.... was very dry. I kept choking because of that. I was unable to eat it, that was disappointing. As far as atmosphere... very warm lighting, intimate feels, candle lit, steady energy, attentive staff. The dining room hums with laughter and happy customers... but without overtaking the conversation at our table. The volume was comfortable considering it was a full house.
