Ike's Chili
Founded in 1908 and billed as Tulsa's oldest restaurant, on Route 66. Famous for its Three-Way of spaghetti, beans and chili.
Founded in 1908 by Ike Johnson near Tulsa's downtown train station. It claims to be the oldest restaurant in Tulsa and is now run by the fourth generation of the family. Humorist Will Rogers was once a regular customer. After several relocations, it settled on East 11th Street (Route 66) in the Meadow Gold District in 2014. The signature Three-Way is spaghetti, beans and chili layered in one bowl. Other dishes include Frito pie and coney dogs. The layout is an old-style small diner, service is fast, and no reservations are needed. About US$10–15 per person. Open for daytime only, closing at 2:30 pm, and closed on Sundays. About 2 km from downtown, a good lunch stop on your Route 66 drive.
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday 10:00–14:30; closed Sunday
