Ada, Oklahoma

Oscar's Chinese Restaurant
618 N Mississippi Ave, Ada, OK, 74820

- The thing about this place is that the outward appearance would lead you to expect not only bad food but perhaps a health code violation or twenty in progress. I was tempted to ask for a hepatitis vaccination as an appetizer instead of the hot and sour soup (which was amazing).

- Don't let the dark, somewhat scary interior and dingy exterior fool you..this place is excellent. Get the special for lunch, they give you three or four different servings which gives you some variety. No buffet here, but the amount of food they give is pretty great.


Lucky 7 Cafe

- I can't even get an address for this place, if you're working out at the OG&E power plant near Ada be sure to hit this place up.
- They hand bread their chicken fried steak and serve it with real mashed potatoes and gravy that will make your arteries beg for mercy.
- Try the catfish if you don't like chicken fried steak (what kind of sick bastard doesn't like chicken fried steak?).
- This place will give you ample opportunity to observe the yocal's in their nature habitat. Last Thursday I observed a gentleman with what appeared to be cow feces (it may have been fake cow crap) covering the better part of his entire shoulder. Oh, and the feeble A/C unit keeps the place just a hair under sweltering.
-All of this said, I ate here three times in two weeks...it's frickin great.


Sante Fe
- Across the street from the Holiday Inn, north Ada.
- Great steak here for a chain restaurant. Get the queso dip starter and enjoy the complimentary whole shell peanuts which are served with every meal.
- I recommend the NY Strip, it has just the right taste and price to beat the corporate card senseless and still satisfies the taste buds.


Papa Giorgios Italian
- Couple blocks west of the Holiday Inn.
- Get the meat pizza (thin crust), they fire it in a special oven and load it up with cheese and enough meat to induce a cardiac 'event'. Pure vegan nightmare.
- Day fresh homemade bread is served with every meal and is excellent.

Cinemark
- Across the street from the Holiday Inn, they're nice enough not to look at you funny when you take in a movie by yourself...well at least not when you're looking
- I recommend the movie popcorn, if you put enough Synthetic Butter (SynButter) on it the calorie intake equals a 28 ounce steak or roughly a baker's dozen choco choco donuts.

-Wash it down with a diet coke, nothing like 2200 calories worth of popcorn washed down with a gallon of DIET coke...because that diet cola will make the difference.

Side Note: SynButter can also be used as a substitute for turbine oil if you find yourself in a pinch.


Prairie Kitchen
- On Richardson Loop, 1 mile west of the Holiday Inn.
- Excellent breakfasts here, the pit ham and eggs were great. They'll give you a 'to go' coffee which is just the right size to make it from here to the OG&E plant.
