The Sugar Shak - Medford, OK
After visiting the Twister Museum in Wakita, our stomachs let us know it was time for lunch. In small-town Oklahoma, dining options can be pretty limited, so we asked Linda at the museum for a recommendation. She pointed us toward The Sugar Shak in nearby Medford, and we're glad she did.
I ordered the Club Wrap with a side of baked beans, and both were excellent. The wrap was packed with fresh ingredients and plenty of meat, making it a satisfying meal. I paired it with a Cherry Limeade, which hit the spot on a warm Oklahoma afternoon.
My wife chose the Italian Hoagie, served warm, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. It was loaded with meat, fresh toppings, and had great flavor.
The restaurant itself is simple and unpretentious--a true small-town sandwich shop. The service was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel like locals even though it was our first visit.
While I wouldn't quite rate it a full five stars, it's a very solid 4-star stop. Good food, generous portions, fair prices, and excellent service made it well worth the visit. If you're traveling through Medford or exploring northern Oklahoma, The Sugar Shak is a great place to grab lunch before getting back on the road.
