The Spudder in Tulsa is one of those quirky hidden dining gems that’s worthy of a road trip from any corner of Oklahoma. Since 1976 they’ve been serving mouthwatering steaks and massive spuds in an eclectic setting. The dining area is decorated from floor to ceiling with oil and gas memorabilia and there’s a giant Spudder outside that’s the showpiece of the exterior. If you love delicious food and you’re looking for a destination restaurant, be sure and visit The Spudder.
The Spudder is one of those under-the-radar local gems that serve delicious food every time you visit...you know what you're going to get and you come back time and time again because it's always delicious.
Outside, you'll instantly notice the giant Spudder that was made in the 1920s. A Spudder was a cable tool rig made for drilling shallow wells back in the day.
The place was originally opened by the son of oil tycoon Frank Phillips and changed ownership in 2011. All the oil and gas memorabilia still remains today and offers a fun and quirky atmosphere.
All meals come served with fresh bread served in this fun old-school lunchbox. Open it up and inside is a batch of homemade, buttery rolls that smell heavenly.
All the desserts are homemade by one of the owners. Guests rave about the crème brulée so be sure and give it a try. Don't even think about splitting it...you'll want it all for yourself.
