Service:
(on a scale of 0 to 4 stars)
5-10 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 5-9 p.m. Sunday; accepts all major credit cards.
The three big, thick scallops ($25) were flawlessly cooked, and it was the first time in a long time we've had scallops this size with no grittiness in the texture. Prosciutto, dried cranberries and young, tender Brussels sprouts were mixed with the angel hair pasta.
Thin, tender pieces of veal smothered in sauteed wild mushrooms and Marsala sauce made the veal scaloppini ($25) another stunning winter dish. It came with a lemony wilted spinach.
We added a bowl of Tuscan white beans ($5.95) punctuated with sage and sprinkled with parsley to round out both plates.
Although the thought of dessert seemed a little over the top, we were happy we decided to share a bowl of amaretto gelati ($5), which cleaned the palate and provided a sweet ending to the evening.
TY'S HAMBURGERS
1534 S. Harvard Ave.
918-749-8122
Food:
Atmosphere:
Service: order at counter
(on a scale of 0 to 4 stars)
11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday; accepts all major credit cards.
The menu is one of the shortest in town. You can have a quarter-pound or one-third-pound regular hamburger, cheeseburger, hickory burger and hickory cheeseburger, ranging from $2.55 to $3.05. Bacon is 55 cents extra, and a side of curly Q fries with a burger is $1.30.
Other choices included a hickory chicken filet dinner, grilled cheese sandwich, onion rings, chili cheese fries and chili.
Third-pounders were gone when we placed our order, so we had a quarter-pound burger with lettuce, ketchup, mayo, mustard, onion and pickles, and a hickory cheeseburger with the same array of condiments. Both had old-fashioned flavor and went well with the piping hot curly Q fries.
DAIRY QUEEN GRILL & CHILL
3120 W. Kenosha St., Broken Arrow
918-806-8037
Food:
Atmosphere:
Service: order at counter
(on a scale of 0 to 4 stars)
10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday-Saturday, drive-through open to 11 p.m. all week; accepts all major credit cards.
We stayed pretty basic. We ordered a mushroom Swiss grillburger ($3.79), a chili cheese dog ($2.29), fries ($1.79), fried cheese curds ($3.39), a hot fudge sundae ($2.59) and a Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard ($3.69), in addition to a children's burger with fries and drink ($3.89) and chocolate Dilly Bar ($1.79) for the grandkid.
The quarter-pound mushroom Swiss burger had a good, fresh flavor, and the cheese curds had been lightly breaded and fried perfectly.
The Dilly Bar and sundae were excellent, and because I had no clue what was in the Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard (I just liked the name), I was pleasantly surprised to find brownie pieces, cocoa fudge and pecan pieces blended with vanilla soft-serve ice cream.
