Oklahoma Places to See and Eat

We are starting this blog to share about the interesting places that we have traveled to in Oklahoma. I don't know how many people realize all the interesting places there are to visit in the state.

We love traveling around the state and have found many fun and interesting places to see.

We also love to find places to eat and several of our friends have asked us to start a blog about all the places we go. This blog will cover two of our main interests. Places and food!

So here we go...

Mandarin Kung Pao

This weekend we ate at Pei Wei. We had the Mandarin Kung Pao and the Pei Wei Spicy. There were several other dishes that we want to go back and try.

When we go down to the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Reserve we have the best time. It is one of our favorite places to visit.

One of the many beautiful lakes

Buffalo Herd

   



The land is so beautiful there. The lakes are a vivid blue and with the green grass and the colorful rock it makes a great scene.












They have buffalo and longhorn cattle herds and we have seen deer and once a wild hog.

Moose - for our
grandkids

They also have unusual bronze and other material statues.









They have two prairie dog farms now. This one was taken in the spring. But people feed them human food and they are not as many now as there were two years ago.

While we were there we stopped at Meers to eat. When you go to this area, if there is any way you need to eat here. The burgers are so good. It is so much fun to eat here.

Depending on where you sit you may slide away from or to the table! Their fried green tomatoes are some of the best I have ever had. We had the Seismic burger and the regular Meers Cheeseburger, fried green tomatoes and fries. One burger is big enough to split but I didn't want the sweet relish or Jalapenos. It also has Bacon, Cheese, Mustard, Dill Pickles, Tomatoes, Purple Onions and Leaf Lettuce. The Meers burger has Mustard, dill pickles, tomatoes, purple onions and green leaf lettuce. Cheese is added if you want it.

Wow look at all this food. We brought half home and had it for supper. 

They also have their own beer made for them. It's in a 22 oz bottle. It is a wheat brew. Actually very good.

Here is the seismic burger. They are served in actual pie plate pans. You can see how big they are. Two people can get full on just one burger.

This is the Meers Cheeseburger.

More to come. Stayed tuned!
