If you’ve lived in Oklahoma very long then by now you’ve had your fair share of chicken fried steak – the best comfort meal of all time. You can pretty much find it on every corner but there’s a unique place in Oklahoma City that serves one that’s worth writing home about. Cheever’s Cafe serves upscale Southwestern & Southern cuisine with a contemporary flair and pretty much everything on the menu is divine. But, if you’re looking to sink your teeth into a perfectly breaded chicken fried steak with a creamy jalapeño gravy, then you simply must visit this adorable bistro in the heart of Oklahoma City.
Cheever's Cafe is located at 2409 South Hudson Avenue in Oklahoma City, about two miles from downtown OKC. They opened in 2000 in an old flower shop building that's full of history dating all the way back to the 1930s.
Since they are located in a historic building, you can feel the old-world charm all around. It's an upscale cafe with a lovely ambiance and the white tablecloths add a nice extra touch of class.
Patrons rave about Cheever's rolls so don't pass these up. They are served fresh and warm with a side of butter. Just be careful not to eat too many, you'll want to save room for the main course, and just wait until you see the desserts!
The Bleu Cheese Potato Chips are a unique appetizer we recommend you try. They are offered on every menu, so whether you're visiting for brunch, lunch, or dinner you can indulge in this scrumptious appetizer.
They are known for their contemporary comfort food, including this divine chicken fried steak. It comes with a jalapeño gravy that's loaded with flavor and the steak is breaded to perfection with just the right amount of crispiness.
Another savory menu item is the chicken sandwich. As you can see in this picture, the fried chicken breast is so big it's falling out of the bun. The charred jalapeño slaw adds a nice pop of flavor to this staple lunch menu item.
The desserts here are off the charts. For starters, they are massive and plenty big to share. But, we aren't joking when we say they are all about as good as it gets. You just have to try them for yourself, then you'll understand the hype.
