I hate Eischens. It's disgusting and you have to stand for 2 hours before you get a seat. Not worth the drive.

Then you must not like fried chicken in general. I've taken 20+ Eischen's virgins out tehre over the years and not one, not ONE, gave it a negative review.

The worst review I remember was something akin to "Don't get me wrong, this is really really good, but I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had."

Yep, my last last Eischen's virgin was an Alabama born southern boy and he loved.

Of course he was on the road down from the Pacific Northwest so he may have been a bit starved for such fare. ;)

I mean, I can understand if you don't like waiting for a table (protip: don't go on a Fri or Sat night; I never do as a rule). That's a legit gripe. Also, I can understand if maybe you don't like fried chicken in general, or chicken on the bone.

But to say that, as far as fried chicken on the bone is concerned, that Eischen's is "disgusting"...well, I just wonder where you get your chicken because it must taste like angels smell and how victory feels.

I dig the fresh salad bar and the potato soup at Pelican's, but I've never been to Chequer's. Will you describe your experience there?

Tacoville, on southwest 29th street. The all meat burritos and the taco burgers are awesome.

White River Fish Market in Tulsa - absolute best fried catfish and all the trimmings (McGehee's????) in Oklahoma.

Spudder Restaurant in Tulsa - Awesome steaks with great ambience.

Around the Corner Restaurant in Edmond - Ozzie's Cafe at the airport in Norman - both excellent down-home fare.

Don's Alley in Del City - best chicken livers, patty melt, beef stew, chicken and noodles ever.

Ted's Cafe Escondido (original on NW 68th off N. May) - Tex-Mex at its best. I dare you to find fajitas any better than Ted's and if you get them to go, two people absolutely can't eat a single order.

Lido Chinese/Vietnamese near 25th and N. Classen - awesome fried spring rolls, crabmeat/asparagus soup, sesame chicken.....mmmmm

Whomever said Coit's has the best chili dogs is right. Schwab's weiners and chili make 'em the best. The old Hyde's drug store at NW 50th and Shartel used to serve them too, at their lunch counter. Remember drug store lunch counters?

Goldie's Patio Grill - still an excellent grilled burger with the pickle bar - I like the Original best in Tulsa at 51st and Lewis

Two Frogs Grill in Ardmore - if you like cajun, you haven't lived until you bite into their "Catfish Leon" - blackened catfish with a crawfish sauce. I never liked catfish cooked any way but fried until I tasted this and I'm hooked. The atmosphere is awesome too. A huge collection of rock guitars (autographed) all around the walls.

I'm sure there are more, but I dearly love these!

Has anyone said McGehee's in Marietta?

The best fried catfish and hush puppies on the planet. No...seriously.

They actually put out a landing strip for people that wanted to fly in for dinner.

I try to make a trip out there when I'm in the state for OU/tx because it's right on the boarder. It's seriously some of the best food I've ever had, and it's a fun to get out of suburbia or the city to kick it right on the red river. I'm glad it's in BFE because I'd seriously be disappointed if they ever lost that small town dive feel. It's an experience for sure.

Eischens is over rated. I'd rather drive less than 10 minutes and go to Chicken Express.

I realize this is an older thread, just thought I would throw in my opinion.

Ken's is so overrated and has really went down hill in the last couple of years. Just check out all the negative reviews on urbanspoon.

Two places that you should try are Munoz in Anadarko and Nicholi's Itailian steakhouse,(they may have shut down) also in Anadarko. Munoz has some of the best fajitas I have ever had.

This. Eischens fried chicken is no better than KFC. No idea why people go there other than an excuse to get out of town.

The best egg rolls probably in the entire COUNTRY (and I've been to 30 of the 50 states) are at WONGS in Clinton. I lived there for 3 years in the early 90's,, and I still go back just to eat there. Incredible!! For a dish, try the Black Bean Chicken. If you don;t see it on the menu...ask. Awesome!!
