Head east and a little north of Oklahoma City to the small town of Harrah where you’ll find The Black Raven Irish Pub & Grill. This place serves some of the best food in the midwest, and their raving online reviews back up the claim. It’s worth the drive to enjoy the authentic Irish atmosphere and delicious, homemade food you’ll find here. There isn’t another place like it in all of the state.
If you're looking for an authentic Irish pub and grill, The Black Raven is the place to go. You'll not only find authentic Irish food and beer here, but the atmosphere has a traditional Irish vibe and it's so inviting.
They host live Irish music nights and when they do, it's hard to find a seat in this place. It's always a popular place in town, so arrive early if you visit on a night with a special event.
The menu features authentic Irish food, and it's all homemade. Be sure and try the Shepherd's Pie. This house specialty comes highly recommended and is loaded with lamb, vegetables, and mushrooms. The topping is mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, and gravy.
Bangers and mash is another meal you'll want to indulge in. It's Irish sausage with creamy mashed potatoes topped with brown gravy. For only $11.99, it's a great option.
You'll feel like you're in Ireland when you visit. They have a dining section and a full-service bar that serves all your favorite alcoholic drinks, including Guinness Beer.
Other popular food items include Irish soda bread, cottage pie, Scotch eggs, and corned beef and cabbage. (Pictured here is the Irish soda bread - a no yeast bread that is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.)
