We visited on 2/27/26 at 6pm. This was my third time, but first time reviewing it. It is consistently fantastic! The atmosphere is elevated but inviting. You know you're about to eat at a "nice restaurant" but that you would be welcome in all types of dress anytime of day. I went to the restroom while my husband ordered drinks, I told him to surprise me. The waitress helped him order and he ended up ordering a drink called The Bees Knees. I loved it! He got a ranch water, boring lol. For an appetizer we shared the Crabback. It's basically a fancy crab cake but man was it delicious. Best crab cake type appetizer I have ever had. For dinner we shared the Escovitch Red Snapper. It came with rice and beans and plantains but we traded the plantains for the butternut squash soup. The fish was so tender and flaky. It was topped beautiful, thinly sliced pickled veggys and two huge grilled shrimp. The rice and beans were mixed together and the perfect pairing with the fish. This dish was 10/10 and we will definitely get it again. The butternut squash soup was so creamy and flavorful, best we have had. This restaurant is such a great place to try new food and get some of the yummiest drinks. It's a great place to eat if you are downtown for a concert or show. If you like to expand your horizons and try unique food that is hard to find anywhere else, if you can even find it, then run to Sisserou's in downtown Tulsa.

I love the Rasta Pasta! Very flavorful and filling. It comes either with chicken or as a veggie dish. The bread starter comes with butter or a spicier, saucy spread, which is delicious and has a brief, sharp zing that' hits and leaves quickly. Yes, thank you! My wife got the jerk fried chicken which was prepared almost like chicken fried chicken, with cream gravy and a biscuit rather than what you'd expect more traditional "fried chicken" to look like. Also came with a small corn cob on a stick with spices on it. She said the jerk wasn't very spicy, which some may prefer. We eat here several times a year. It's reliably good every time but doesn't reach excellent. read more

Early lunch because Chris and I have some running around to do here in Tulsa. We sat by the bar as usual. Happy to see water served immediately as soon as we sat down. We started with the Lobster Thermidor. It was very rich! Chris had the Cuban Sandwich and I had the Red Snapper. We came in right after 11:00 am and there was a steady stream of guests coming in for an early lunch. The place is lively and always clean. read more

When visiting Tulsa, this is our favorite stop. Came here for a dinner date. Started with fried sweet plantains, tropical iced tea ( not a fan as it was not sweet and didn't really taste different then regular iced tea), we had the jamaican hard bread which is actually super soft. Butter and Serrano sauce with mango? It was delicious. Then I got the lime Squash with milk added for a Brazilian limeade feel. We ordered the special of the day- jamaican jerk chicken fried , and the Red Snapper Escovitch. Both were absolutely delicious. I have tried the oxtail dish and the rasta pasta and those were delicious last time too. Our server was new and he did an excellent job , friendly,attentive, never had to flag him down for refills on drinks . We had a great time. read more

When I'm housesitting in the area, sometimes Sisserou's serves their brunch for the residents. I always miss it & recently I had time to check their brunch out before going to work. Biscuits & Oxtail Gravy was what stood out to me for many reasons. It was way too good. Everything went well together: the oxtail gravy, the bacon crumbles, the mango chutney (my favorite part). It was the right amount as well. Two biscuits with plenty of the components listed (they weren't stingy with the oxtail). There are two other things I wanted to try off of the menu: Tropical Oatmeal & Mango Coco Chia Pudding. I've tried a good majority of Sisserou's menu & that's rare for me with any place, their food is overall good. read more

We have been here several times over the years. Still consistently good service and food. Service was especially good tonight. The server/ bar tender was friendly, prompt and informative. He sold me on a Mango Margarita when I had not intended to buy a bar drink. It was delicious! I also commented on the habanero sauce that is served with the bread, and he sold me on a bottle (hint thicker but very similar to Marie Sharp sold at most grocery stores for a lot less). The restaurant is roomy and has a definite Caribbean vibe. My wife had the Pork Tenderloin which was moist and full of flavor. Her plantains (very good) were almost as good as she makes at home (best for me to say this). My beet salad was fantastic except the chicken was a little dry. Unfortunately, we moved away from Tulsa and won't be here as often. Wish we had a Sisserou's in the OKC area. read more

I visited Sisserou's on a really special night out. I had high hopes because of the reviews and location in a part of Tulsa known for having great restaurants. I was highly disappointed. I did not expect such low quality food for such high prices. Or low quality, food, at all. The food was not well seasoned. It came out hot, but I question whether it was at all fresh. I am a Black lady from Houston, Texas-I know what Caribbean food tastes like. This was not Caribbean food. The complementary bread brought to the table was awful. The plantains were basic, the rice and beans had an awkward seasoning balance, but the double sandwich was decent. The drinks and dessert were lovely. The one major upside was the fantastic customer service. I can't speak highly enough about the hostess and waitress and other servers. But I have no clue what on earth was going on in that kitchen. I will not return and I wish I was a meaner person. But I had to pay and tip the servers. It wasn't their fault. I don't know how this place is still in business. I thought Oklahomans knew better food. read more

Lucked out and got a table at this great place. Service was excellent, I would recommend reservations for a Saturday evening. The oxtail is a MUST! Highly recommend if you like a hearty savory meal. My wife had the jerk chicken, also EXCELLENT. Would recommend them getting a selection of Bahamian or Caribbean beers(if that's possible) would have paired well for the experience . All around experience was 10/10 though read more

I had the 14oz ribeye pepper steak with peppercorn sauce, which was good, also ordered jerk chicken with plantains and roasted corn; the chicken was decent, but the plantains were crunchy and not sweet. The roasted corn was small but tasty. The waitstaff was excellent--very attentive. For dessert, the coconut crème brûlée was a highlight, while the banana bread pudding and rum cake were just average. The plating was impressive! read more

Listen... Sisserou's is quickly becoming my go to spot! The atmosphere and service is always top notch! And the food is always delicious! The words I put here will never do the food it's true justice! You have to experience it for yourself! The last time I was in I said I would try the Stewed Oxtails the next time and that's what I did!!! I have been eating oxtails for as long as I can remember and these taste like home! It brought on a flood of memories of my mom cooking them... We also had the Salmon Rasta Pasta! Another hit! Salmon was cooked to perfection and all the flavors were spot on! read more

So I was visiting Oklahoma and saw that Sisserou's came highly recommended--and now I see why! As a Caribbean girl with very specific taste buds when it comes to flavor and authenticity, I'm usually hesitant to try Caribbean restaurants in the States. But let me tell you--Sisserou's did NOT disappoint. The ambiance was chill and welcoming. They sat our party of seven in the back, and we were super comfortable. The music set the mood perfectly--good island vibes, and everything felt criss (clean, nice, on point). We started off with some coconut bread/bakes, and they were absolutely delicious. One friend got the shrimp and loved every bite. I went for the Jerk wings since I needed something light before my flight--but also got the oxtail to go (more on that later!). Let's talk about the rum punch. They only serve it on Sundays, and it's just $8 a glass. I got mine no ice because usually restaurants water it down, but I probably should've taken the ice... because WHEW--it was strong AND so good. I ended up ordering two! Now let's squash a stereotype real quick: Caribbean restaurant hosts can sometimes have a rep for being standoffish, but not here. Our host (wish I caught his name!) was hands-down one of the sweetest, most attentive people I've ever met. His energy really added to the experience. The Jerk wings? Phenomenal. The spice, the seasoning, the presentation, and that avocado cream... everything was balanced and bursting with flavor. And about that oxtail I planned to take home? I started eating it before my flight and had to force myself to stop so I could save some for my boo--he had to try what real oxtail tastes like! The portion was generous, definitely enough to share. Bottom line: If I ever find myself in Oklahoma again, I will definitely be back. From food to vibes to service--Sisserou's is the real deal. read more

We wound up eating here twice, because the food was so good and the crème brûlée was outstanding.

For my husbands birthday, me and my daughter wanted to find a unique spot to eat in the downtown Tulsa area. My daughter happened upon Sisserou's, and I quickly made a reservation. We arrived and the atmosphere was so inviting and chill, we were sat down almost instantly. I got the Cuban sandwich, and it had clearly freshly made bread, with the perfect amount of meat and a great mustard flavor. My daughter got the chicken curry, which was a large portion size and was very neatly prepared, while my husband got the ox tail. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there, and later indulged in the lava cake, which was served with a generous amount of ice cream, and we also got a free rum cake because it was my husbands birthday. The food was superb, and we will definitely be going back next time we are in Tulsa! read more

Second visit I have to speak on it. I had the oxtail stew and plantain. The oxtail stew was savory and filling. Not like places that give you 3 small pieces and tons of rice with barely any gravy. Definitely some of the best oxtail that I've had stateside. read more

I was greeted and promptly seated when I arrived. Staff is top notch and made me feel valued. They brought out bread and butter which was nice. I was pretty hungry after my flight landed in Tulsa. I hadn't had anything to eat all day. I ordered the chicken curry, rum cake, pineapple margarita, and a rum and Coke. The chicken curry had so much flavor. I highly recommend this dish. The drinks were made well too. Service was spot on. read more

So I am actually having problems determining how to rate this restaurant. The food was phenomenal and worth a visit. The EXPERIENCE as driven be the wait staff was horrible. We went here for a meal arriving at 6 pm before going to a Killer Queen concert at Tulsa Theater at 8 pm. We did not have a reservation, but were seated very quickly. It took almost 10 minutes for our server, Destiny to come check on us. She asked some questions said she would bring us our water and bread. She had another waiter trailing behind her. I also noticed one other waitress had another following behind. Another 10 minutes later she brings our water and a carafe and takes our appetizer and entree order. We ordered the fried Cod balls for an appetizer, I ordered a Cuban and my wife went with the special which was basically $36 fish and chips. We watched the restaurant fill up and other tables that came after us get their drinks, bread, appetizers, and some even their meals. Meanwhile we still had no bread and had run out of water. I finally waived Destiny down at 6:45 pm and asked if could we get more water and when would our food arrive because we needed to leave Destiny in a very snarky and loud voice informed us she was very busy with all the customers and having to train and we would get our food when it was ready. She chose to add that I needed to be more patient and respect that she is working hard here. After that she basically abandoned our table. The lady who was handling seating was also delivering food. She brought our appetizer at about 7:00pm, we asked her if we could get some water also. She brought out water and bread. At 7:15 the same person brought our dinners. I asked if she could get our check because we needed to leave fairly soon. She was very active and accommodating. She brought out our bill in about 5 minutes. The food would make me way to return. The fried cod balls were hot and tasty. My Cuban was well spiced and my wife loved her fish. Like I said. After asking about the food our waitress pretty much abandoned us. She wasn't checking on us to begin with, but after our talk she never came by. I gave her a 10% tip out of putty she didn't deserve. We left the restaurant at 7:45. Most of the tables that came after us had left, on table of 6 who were drinking hard were still at it. read more

I was visiting Tulsa to help out at a nearby Yelp Elite Event and ended up at Sisserou's for dinner with my colleague. It was my first time having Caribbean food outside of the Caribbean - and it was fabulous! We started with an order of their must-try Jerk Chicken Wings. These meaty wings were not your typical bar wings. They were huge and delish. Honestly, they could have been a meal in themselves. Especially when paired with their complimentary housemade mini loaf of bread. But, of course, we had to try more. After much indecisiveness reviewing their amazing dinner menu, I settled on the highly recommended Stewed Oxtail. It tasted like it had been sitting in grandma's crockpot all day (in a good way), so tender it literally fell off the bone. And the accompanying vegetables were perfectly cooked as well. I also enjoyed their Hibiscus Royale cocktail - so refreshing and delicious. My only regret is that the portions were so big. I had to take most of my oxtails back to the hotel (where I enjoyed them for breakfast before my flight the next day). The atmosphere of this place is beautiful, too. With low lighting and pops of color, it was very welcoming (and the staff were excellent too). Bonus points for the huge parking lot! Highly highly recommend Sisserou's if you're in Tulsa! read more

Food was excellent and so were the drinks! Service could've been a little faster, but perhaps it was just busier than normal.

I didn't know it at the time but I was very fortunate to be in an excellent location in downtown Tulsa. My hotel was in walking distance of at least 10 restaurants. I love Caribbean food so I was shocked that the Sisserou's restaurant was literally 20 seconds from my hotel. I contemplated when I was going to visit but it became apparent that I needed to make this one of my first stops. I can tell you that I was not disappointed. There was no line so I was seated immediately. First I selected on the menu was the patties. I didn't know what to expect but I was open to try anything Caribbean. Once the patties came out I was a little surprised that they weren't bigger but I have to tell you small is just as powerful. They were absolutely amazing! I could have stopped and I would have had a great evening but I selected the snapper meal which took it to another level. The meal not only came with snapper but included shrimp and plantain. Again, a different variation than what I am accustomed but certainly exceeded expectations and would try again without exception. Overall, a great night and would highly recommend this place if you are in downtown Tulsa. read more

This place was good but expected better! Prices were high for Tulsa standards. My rum punch was good and strong. The complimentary bread was delish (careful for the bright orange sauce - super spicy!). I ordered the baked chicken and it was delicious. Good flavoring on the chicken. The chimichurri sauce was a nice touch. The mac n cheese could of been better. Was not really impressed. Expected more. Vegetables were huge and had some good flavors. Meals took a little long to come out (over 30 mins) but our waiter was super friendly. I would come back again if visiting the area, just expected more for the price and amount of reviews! read more

There is 1 (one) vegan option. There are two vegan sides and one of those is the french fries. The 1 (one) vegan option is good but I'm not going to suggest coming here so that I can have it again. It's much more like I won't make the party I'm with go somewhere else with vegan food, I'll come along for the ride and get that 1 (one) vegan option again. It was tasty enough but I'm not going to be craving it. I found this really weird too, you cannot ask that your dish be prepared spicy, in the Scoville sense. We were informed that the kitchen has no way to spice up the preparation- they have no spices, in the Scoville sense, in the kitchen. The only option to spice up things, in the Scoville sense, is with the "hot" sauce. While the "hot" sauce is good, maybe the best part of the meal, it is in no way "hot" in the Scoville sense or in temperature. So that was weird. No one in our party was particularly enthused about their cocktails. They were serviceable but a bit below average. The service was good! Despite having a couple large parties and being generally busy, the service didn't suffer. Everyone was kind and all of our interactions went smoothly. So, Tl;dr I'll come back when meaty friends want to go but I'm not going to be the one to suggest this joint. read more

When talking about the best of the best in Tulsa, Sisserou's should be in the conversation. It is hands down the best Caribbean restaurant that I have ever been to. The food at Sisserou's is always delicious. Jerk chicken has always been the restaurant's popular entree. However, my favorite meal from Sisserou's is the forever stewed oxtail. This mouthwatering dish is not only UNIQUE, but also equally delicious. If you have the stomach for it, then it is a must try. It's worth the money spent as the oxtail tastes amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. Good for groups as well as dates. The old fashioned was the best old fashioned I've had, although weaker in alcohol content. Spacious parking lot so you don't have to worry about not having enough parking in this part of town. P.S. Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of the restaurant on April 2024...and many more to come. read more

Watching Jamaican and Caribbean videos have been my happy place recently; therefore, the massive cravings for the food. FOOD: - ordered the oxtail, so freaking expensive!! after tax, it's $36.09 - I personally appreciate rice with no flavoring and adding the dish or sides to my rice as I eat so I made the major mistake of not asking if they could separate the rice from the oxtail in two separate containers - half the rice was rock hard, crunchy - the potatoes and carrots weren't really cooked - the oxtail tasted better upon reheating due to also not being tender or fully braised through SERVICE: - did not appreciate sticky red substance on my credit card when I received it back (as can be seen on the napkin in the water picture I took and uploaded here) - they were so friendly with providing water as I waited and the water was super refreshing (no tap water undertones) - originally they said the oxtail was sold out so I was going to resort to the veggie curry but the server said she will check and upon checking told me they had a fresh batch ready (immensely appreciative of this!) AMBIENCE: - from all the videos I have been binge watching, you'd think this type of cuisine was casual, simple, and quick eats - however, this place was super, super, super fancy encompassing the vibe and looks of a very expensive restaurant (dim lights, romantic setting, etc) - definitely more of a date night than a let's grab something simple LOCATION and PARKING: - it's crazy how every downtown is pretty much the same - very sketchy especially it being nighttime - private parking lot with a good number of spaces (very tightly placed and great use of space) - I did not feel comfortable whatsoever sitting in my car, I wanted to leave the area asap - free parking...parallel parking/street parking and public garages are also available Reasons for 2 stars: -1 star: the cost, super expensive for the quality and quantity -1 star: quality of the food --rock solid and crunchy rice and half cooked product, a very sweet flavor profile -1 star: consideration of patron-- receiving a sticky credit card back, stating it will be 15-20 minutes wait (but ended up being 30-40 minutes), not very well lit interiorly and exteriorly (making one feel unsafe) read more

I'm so happy that I stopped though this restaurant!! The food was amazing. My table had the Jerk chicken meal, the jerk tacos, the lump crab, and the beef patties. All of it was amazing!

I got the evening's special, which was a Mahi Mahi, and it was incredible.

Came by around 2:30pm and there were a decent amount of people there for a off lunch time - maybe bc it was a Saturday? Service was kind but a bit slow. Ordered the cod fritters and jerk chicken with plantains on the side. There was free bread they seem famous for - it was soft but felt underbaked inside, kinda crumbly yet mushy and it was hard to slice and spread butter on it without falling apart in your hands. Taste was decent though. The meal felt quite heavy overall - chicken was flavorful, juicy, and tender, the best part of the meal. Cod fritters were quite fried and tasted OK but probably wouldn't get it again. The plantains had potential but they didn't need to be fried and dusted with sugar. I never had them that way at other restaurants. Simply prepared ones are great with their natural sweetness. Overall not bad and seems like an accommodating place for large groups. Lots of seating. read more

Had a fabulous dinner here! The salted cod fish balls were great (and I LOVED the breaded fried lemon too). I had the red snapper and it was out of this world yummy. The red beans & rice along with the plantains really complimented the red snapper and garnish of peppers. I will be dreaming of this dish for years to come. Others at my table had the salmon Rasta pasta--the mushrooms were so flavorful. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delightful. The salmon was terrific too. I had a painkiller and it was creamy and refreshing. I tried the Bee's Knees and wow, that's a tasty martini. The drink menu is impressive. We took a steak to go for someone at home and he really enjoyed it. I look forward to returning! Can't wait to try the fish tacos. read more

Atmosphere was so pleasant, our server was excellent, and the food was truly delicious. A very delightful lunch outing with friends,

This was my first visit to Sisserou's and I was immediately sold when I read "Fried Plantains" was one of the sides! I love plantains and these did NOT disappoint. They were crunchy and sweet and so very delicious. I took these home with me and they were so good! I ordered the chicken curry and my meal was so filling. The sauce was tasty, the chicken was cooked very well and the potato/carrots were tender and flavorful. I was very happy with my choice. The staff are exceptional - very friendly and attentive and the ambiance made it a delight to dine there. I'll be back to taste more things...and to order more plantains! read more
