Restaurants in Durant

“We attended Oktoberfest here and had such a wonderful time! As new members of the community, it really made us feel welcome and like we fit right in. The atmosphere was fun, friendly, and relaxed — exactly what you’d want from a local brewery. We enjoyed it so much that we came back later to grab some of the beers we had tried, and once again the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We also loved that our kids were welcome — they even had toys and games to keep them entertained while we visited! Overall, it’s such a great local spot with great people, great beer, and a welcoming vibe for everyone. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Simply Devine both times me and my wife have been in. Scallops are to die for and cooked to perfection. First place in the last 10 that are 100% 👌 As a chef of over 25 years well done.”

“We had 28 people and it was private and they had enough waitresses to give us great service. We did call ahead. My grilled chicken with pineapple salsa was so different and tasty”

“Awesome drinks! Finally found a decent margarita & I'm not a margarita man. So tell miss Elli & Mr Steven that lil bear sent you. Great bartenders! 👍🏾👍🏾”

“I’m Roy the pizza daddy and I loved their pizza!! Their golden crust pan pizza was so good and the cheese was very high quality and thick!!”

“Best place in Durant OK!!! Awesome, quick staff..the food was delicious!! Ask for Joseph or Jason coolest guys in there!! They had me taste this sushi is delicious now I’m a sushi lover! Lol 10/10”

“Tonight we came to the pizza place at the casino and Donovan really made our night! We ordered a separate order from our friends and went to run somewhere. We got a phone call from our friends saying that our food was ready and that the guy said we had TWO MINUTES or he was throwing out pizza away…we are literally running through the casino to try and get to our food and we get up there and he goes “JUST KIDDING GUYS” and honestly it was just a really heart warming moment. It’s nice to see employees/mangers able to still have fun in the work environment! He was so kind and I’m so thankful that we choose to eat here tonight!!
The pizza is INCREDIBLE and the cheesecake literally blew our mind!
100% recommend this place, we will be eating here every single time.”

“Mark’s a great bartender!”

“So bummed we can’t make it to see Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace this Sunday 10/12 at Choctaw Grand Theater - Durant OK.

“📍 Guy Fieri’s American Kitchen + Bar – Durant, OK
🗓️ 10/12/2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

After rocking out to Three Days Grace 🤘🔥 at Music Fest, we headed over to Guy Fieri’s restaurant — and WOW… this place is something SPECIAL. 😍🍽️🔥

⸻

🔥 The Food (Next-Level Good)

I ordered the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Wings and HOLY MOLEY 🤯🔥🍗 — absolutely out of this world. Sticky, smoky, sweet, perfect texture… honestly, these wings alone were worth the trip.

My brother-in-law ordered the legendary Trash Can Nachos, and HOLY COW 🐄💥… STACKED, cheesy, crunchy, saucy insanity. And yes — we split everything because BOTH dishes were too good not to share.

This place delivers pure Flavortown magic 🚀🌶️😋.

⸻

🌬️ Atmosphere

Loved the half open-air concept — we were technically inside but still got that cool breeze 🌤️🌬️. Perfect after a night of screaming, cheering, and rocking out.

The pool is literally RIGHT behind/next to the restaurant 🏊‍♂️☀️, giving the whole place a fun resort vibe.

And shoutout to our waiter — I don’t remember his name, but this dude was straight-up giving Shaggy vibes from Scooby-Doo.
Like… Matthew Lillard levels of Shaggy energy 😂🔥.
Total legend. It made the experience even better.

🍴 Final Thoughts

This restaurant isn’t a maybe.
It isn’t a thought.
It’s a MUST. ✔️🔥🍽️

Phenomenal food, awesome energy, incredible setting — one of our favorite dining moments of the entire trip.

⭐️ 5 stars
😎🍔🔥 FLAVORTOWN ACHIEVED.”

“Delicious buffet with loads of options! We had prime rib roast and fried shrimp. Crab legs are smaller so a lot of busy work and not as much crab meat. But they are good! Delicious bread pudding! Excellent service with keeping us in everything we needed. A +++”

“My kids love it here! staff was friendly and service was fast.”

“Great food, very courteous staff. There was a mistake with our food, but the manager handled it very well. My wife and son also have a new place to eat when we're in Durant.”

“Delicious every time. I love the salmon.”

“Been coming here for years, it is legitimately one of my favorite places to go because of vibe. I always know I will see somebody I know there when I visit, and the coffee is amazing”

“Absolutely love the good! The Owners know my face because of how often I eat here 😂. I wish they were open on weekend though.”

“I loved this adorable little restaurant!!! The atmosphere was amazing!!! The music was upbeat and fun!!!! And the food was amazing!!!!

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in town!!!”

“Super yummy! Huge portions! Great surprise!”

“I Love this place you can go in an try the flavors of tea they are awesome! Love me some Georgia Peach an my husband likes the Peach ginger. Great place to get water too!”

“This is an amazing place to get a caffeine boost. Their teas are the best! And who doesnt want a tea that looks neat. Also, the service is outstanding. Each visit, I am greeted with a smile and positive attitude from staff. I live about 1.5 hours away and have made special trips just to pick up dry tea orders because the customer service is phenomenal.”

“My waitress was Leslie. She was awesome, sweet and on top of everything. Considering how packed they was. She got our order had it out to us in about 10 mins. We both got the chicken fried steak so so good. Portions was large and cooked hot. I wish i lived in durant that would be my spot. Give them a try you will be a fan. ☆☆☆☆☆”

“Food was great. I will go back again”

“10/10⭐️ my go-to restaurant. Never had a bad experience, everything is amazing here!”

“Our dinner was fresh and delicious..couldn't ask for a nicer restaurant owner. he truly cares about his community. Thanks for the great food”

“Oh my! Too much to list. Everything is fresh and wonderful!!! The new owners took over August the first and I have been 4 times already in just a week! My husband and I go get something cold to drink and try out a different desert every time. The new owners are very nice and take really good care of their customers. Service with a smile! Definitely a family atmosphere! We will continue to go several days a week, can’t wait to see the deserts for the holidays!”

“best chicken fryed finger's”

“most of the time food is good and hot. but been in there a few times food was cold. they need 2 waitresses cause when its busy one person should not have to do both sides. the restrooms on one side are to small. the other bathrooms need remodeled badly. outside needs painted . and inside needs updated paint and other repairs. other than that waitresses are very friendly and the owner is too. just fix the place up and hire a new cook. and when the cook is done with the order dont just let the food get cold , you need a system where the waitress should be called when a order is up. so it comes out hot. just common sense”

“Breakfast tacos are wonderful. And they are huge.”

“My husband and I ate there it was great, I recommend it. Great food and they actually make their tortillas fresh great place.”

“Normally I stop by for Strombolli. I don't like pizza sauce. Got home today and it's covered in sauce. Please teach them how to make them! Because normally they are fabulous. Luckily my cat and dogs are picky eaters@”

“Perfect!! Ask for Pablo!!”

“Super cute and delicious! Employees were super nice and helpful!”

“first time stopping here on the way home from Choctaw. coming from TX we never drive further out. wanting Mexican food this place popped up of places near us. don't let the outside fool you! pulling up it doesn't look like much, but from experience if the parking lot is full it's the place to eat!being from LA and spending lots of time in TJ I've been missing authentic Mexican street food I grew up on since moving to TX 30 years ago. THIS PLACE HAS IT!! didn't take pics(we dug in) soo good. large portions both hubby and I had to take some home. he got the barria tacos w/rice and beans, I got the taquitos also w/rice and beans. I don't think either one of us said a word because our mouths were always full of food. the horchata was chefs kiss!! we will definitely be back!! all the employees were so nice, place was very clean and packed!!.”

“Food is so delicious and fresh, servings are huge, costs are very reasonable! Super impressed and will definitely be a repeating customer.”

“The 50s decor was awesome. Loved seeing all the wall art from years ago. The food was great! My eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. I don't recall what the potatoes were called, but delicious. The biscuits and gravy reminded me of breakfast with my grandma when I was a child. The fact that they have sliced tomatoes that I could have added to it.... so many more memories just seeing it on the menu. My son said his omelet was great. Everyone working in the diner this morning was great, and our server was the best! She made this morning's breakfast about more than the decor and the menu... We chat about old memories which honestly made our breakfast stop even more epic. I used to think my family was the only one with green onions on the table for every meal. I'll forever appreciate her sharing that she had them too. I've always told people there's something about Oklahoma that keeps bringing me back... I'm pretty sure 1 reason was so I could discover Boomarang Diner💙 They have great food at fair prices. It's definitely a place worth checking out.”

“I enjoy that I can get a Gingerbread Latte hot or cold year round. Hope you will chocolate crescents in the future 😊”

“good slection of food great staff and food is authentic and yummy”

“We love 49th Street!! Michaela does such a good job with our aussiedoodle Bonnie and the staff is so helpful and friendly!🤗”

“The food is amazing!!!! The staff is so polite and eager to accomodate any needs. Worth going to time and time again!!!”

“I've been to rib crib a few times, but today, me, my boys and uncle went in for a meal. Cory was BY FAR the best waiter we have ever had, kept our glasses full, super friendly and was right on time with everything. Everything we go in there, I will definitely ask for him, great job corey!!!!!”

“Nothing better could be done here. I would rate it higher if I had the opportunity to.”

“This is a wonderful bar and grill, we ate a later dinner and the food was really good. The service was outstanding. We had one of the owners Cory and Kristin weight on us Friday. Loved the service and the drinks we came back again Saturday 6/19/21. I highly recommend if you are in Durant, OK you stop by say hello.”

“Pizza & service is always 10/10!!”

“Godfathers is not open 24 hours. Loves, which it is inside of, is. This location of godfathers is not open 24 hours. I have been to some in other loves that will make pizza 24 hours
It would be nice if they would be open 24 hours. There are quite a few people that live here that do shift work that work late at night and there's only one option in this town and that's Wait-a-burger after 10:00 p.m. That gets old..”

“Zombie with crybaby and salt. It is a great place, friendly and good ice!”

“I had a great time at this Whata…. The staff was very friendly and especially the manager, Melanie, she was just so bubbly and happy and very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and what not. And the food was hot and fresh I would put 10 stars but ….. google said only 5”

“Nice Smoked Old Fashioned. Small bar with modern vibe. Whiskey sour needed more…something whiskey maybe???
Enjoyed the Oxacan Old-Fashioned. Interesting mix of Tequila/Mezcal and Flamed Cinnamon.
Friendly and helpful staff, looking forward to my next visit.”

“Fantastic experience!! Very clean!! Love the manager and his family! His eight year old son did a fantastic job! He helped his dad with our table and he could teach a lot of workers how to get the job done! We had heard it was under new management and we will definitely be back!!”

“Really tasty sushi and very convenient. The sushi is much better than the poke bowls in my opinion, but that’s mostly just because the poke bowls come with iceberg lettuce instead of spring mix— that’s probably just me being pedantic but the iceberg lettuce throws the entire vibe off. As a texture thing, I also don’t personally prefer the crab salad as an alternative to the sticks of imitation crab found in several of the spicy rolls, but I know there are people who way prefer it that way so it’s chill. The guy who makes the sushi is so kind, they were out of a kind of roll I was hoping for one time and he made one specially for me, which I hadn’t expected him to do. Have been here several times and will keep coming back, though they are slightly pricier than other comparable grocery store sushi chains.”

“My daughter's cake turned out perfectly ❤️and so delicious!!!'' 🎂”

“Amazing selection of really creative and delicioaus drinks, yummy acai bowls and the best birrilla tacos I've ever had (really!). They were super busy today and were still happy to serve everyone with a smile on their faces. I also had a strawberry cucumber limeade with snowcone ice that was SO GOOD.”

“I am an SE student and I love this place and the student workers (especially Jerica). The food and drinks are always good, but service depends on which older person is working. Today I came in around 10:40. There was one person inside and one in the drive through when I placed my order for a large cold brew. After I ordered it started to pick up. I would really like to know why I had to watch at least 5 cars in drive thru and over a dozen people inside get their food before I got my one drink. I had to wait almost 25 minutes. In fact, half of the people inside finished their food and left before I got my ONE DRINK. Again, I love this place so I’m not sure why this happened today but it was absolutely ridiculous. Apparently make sure you get in the drive thru if all you want is a drink or you will be waiting for half an hour.”

“Some of the best in town you can get. Even beating out the major pizza places in town

Vegetarian options: You can get an all vegetable pizza

Parking: Godfather's pizza is inside love's convenience store. So you share the parking lot with people getting gas, drinks or anything else they need from love's

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“If you are at Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant, you absolutely have to try South Hot Chicken.
I ate here last week and had some of the best chicken I have ever had in my life. My wife and kids have actually been eating here for months and have been telling me it’s the best chicken in the United States, so they finally convinced me to try it.
I came back again this weekend just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke… and it definitely wasn’t. Another wow moment.
A special thank-you to Miss Patricia for making the visit awesome. She helped me pick the perfect sauce, gave great recommendations, and provided outstanding customer service. Honestly, Miss Patricia is the personification of what Choctaw expects from their employees—professional, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. She represents the Choctaw standard perfectly. If I could give her a raise myself, I would.
The chicken is incredible, the service is great, and the experience was excellent both times. I will absolutely keep coming back.
If you’re visiting Choctaw Casino Durant, I highly, highly, highly recommend stopping by South Hot Chicken. You won’t regret it.”

“I can’t even lie!!! Yall night shift yesterday did they thing!!!!! Strong! The best ive ever tasted”

“We drive about a hour to eat LGS, sadly they have closed all that were near us. This location is clean, good service and never had an issue at all. Just good ol fashion LGS filets and crisps!”

“Friendly Employees! Great Quality of Ice cream ,Shakes and food! Love the Fresh Market attached to the Braums! Perfect assortment of good tasting food items!😁😁😁😁♥️♥️♥️💕”

“My son and I came by after his baseball tournament to try The Velvet Taco and it did not disappoint! We were so impressed, the service was great and the food was amazing. The protein bowl was delicious, and my son was obsessed with the bacon burger taco. We will definitely be stopping here again sometime on our way home !!”

“Ate there today in durant .food amd service both great”

“The food was so delicious! Nice variety of food to choose from. The staff is outgoing and friendly. Love the whole place, very bright, clean and inviting!”

“I love this place everyone is so friendly & make you feel right at home”

“When I visited on Saturday, I didn't expect the side of kidness served with our delicious lunch but wanted to share my experience. Below is my post from my own page detailing the kind of folks we have here owning and staffing our local Firehouse Subs. Highly recommend for a fast, but delicious lunch or dinner, impressive decor and wonderful, caring service. Thanks to the Pruitt family, Tessa and staff for the experience. You're setting a standard that sets you, your staff and shop head and shoulders above any others! Original post 12/19/20: ---Running around town this morning/afternoon on Christmas countdown duty and stopped by Firehouse Subs to pick up some lunch for myself, my oldest, Brendon and my dad. So for those of you that haven't been inside or to your local neighborhood Firehouse Subs shop, they decorate their dining area inside with photos and murals etc. of your local station houses and Firemen through the years from your area showing them in action doing the heroic work they're known for. Our Durant shop has some very special memorabilia and the hand painted mural of DHS's class of '89 classmate and Chief Warrant Officer Brady Rudolf with 2 local Policemen, and a couple of our Lion mascots, all standing in front of Brady's memorial in front of Durant High School, is worth your visit alone! But back to my other piece of the story.....So as I waited for the sandwiches, I had to make a quick trip to the powder room from running everywhere with no breaking all morning and after one giant D.P. Having never used their "facilities" there before located in the back of the shop, I had no idea about or had ever seen the framed vintage photos of the Department through the years that line the hallway to the restrooms. I was tickled pink to see this photo immediately, showing my Grandfather (blue) and Great Uncle Lawrence (red). Our family is of course proud that my Pappa Bill was once the Department Chief of Durant. Unfortunately though, the only remaining copies we have of these bits of our family history are so faded and worn that they now need restoration work. And with that thought, the 'ol lightbulb upstairs flickered some 😆 but finally lit up and I grabbed an employee up front. As I drug her away from her work, I explained that these were my relatives and it would make my day to find out where they had the copies of those pictures made so I could also have several made for my surviving uncles and cousins for Christmas. She was so sweet but had no idea where they came from and I expected that she probably wouldn't. But then she says..."Let me call my owner and see if he has that information." I tried to just wave it all off by telling her not to trouble herself, that they were busy and I could call about it later on some other day. But I think she understood what this picture meant to me and mine and put herself in my place because she seemed to be on such a cheerfully determined mission, insisting that I was no trouble at all as she dissappeared into the back office. So I waited just a little while studying up close at my Pappa Bill and this little piece of Durant's and my family's history. It was emotional enough before I heard her open the office door and I turned around to see her coming to me and holding a pristene, poster quality 16×20 copy of the photo. "I called my owner." she said, "He told me to tell you we just happened to still have this one." And as she hands it to me she says, "He wants you to have it and told me to tell you 'Merry Christmas to you and your family'." I was speechless because I thought she was just going to lay it on a table and let me look at the detail I'd never before seen in our family's much smaller, faded and aged photograph, or that she might let me take a picture of it with my phone. Never expected such a simple but incredibly thoughtful gesture when all I'd done for them was to interrupt them as they were going about their job”

“Love this place there consistent in portions food and service is all great”
