Food Friday: Boom Town Creamery

Every once in a while I like to have a sweet treat, Boom Town Creamery has become a favorite in Edmond. I had heard about their first location in the Uptown district of Oklahoma City but to be honest, I don’t get down there often. They started in 2021 on NW 23rd street to great fanfare and have been very popular. In summer of 2023, they moved to Edmond taking over the former Dolci Paradiso location on 5th Street.

This location is a bit closer to home, so much easier to access. I’ve stopped in several times and always have a great experience. Their ice cream is made in small batches with several flavors available. They can serve the ice cream in a come or cup, or if you are adventurous, a flight. They also have pints to take home. They do have several flavors, I have tried the chocolate tornado, cherry goat, cookies and cream, and cookie butter. They are all smooth and flavorful, you can’t take a bite without tasting the add-ins, which is a good thing when it comes to ice cream. What I have loved the best with every flavor is the consistency of the smoothness, it is more like a frozen custard than ice cream.

Service is great and there is seating outdoors, so you can enjoy the evening if you go at night. It is a bit small inside but it seems most people went outside or just left entirely. There is a park right across the street, so that is an option as well. I give them 5 strips of bacon.

Address: 17 E. 5th St., Edmond; 605 NW 23rd St., Oklahoma City; 10740 S. May Ave. #116, Oklahoma City.

Food Friday: Bricktown Brewery

For some reason I always over look the Bricktown Brewery. Not sure why, there’s a location close and they have good food. So on a quiet Friday night, I gave Big K a list of places I wanted to go try again, he selected Bricktown Brewery.

We were seated quickly even though the restaurant was busy. They have an interesting selection of appetizers, we went with the Watonga cheese curds. Didn’t take long for them to come out and wow, were they good. Lightly battered cheese curds, they had the perfect curd squeak and tasted great. Next up were the entrees, Big K got a Rodeo burger. This massive burger has cheddar cheese, jalapenos, bacon, and onion rings covered with Head Country barbeque sauce. He loved every bite. Said the burger was juicy and flavorful with a bit of a kick. I tried the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese as my sides. I consider myself a bit of a chicken fry steak connoisseur and this quickly became one of my favorites. The breading was light on the steak and the cream gravy complimented it perfectly. The mashed potatoes were good as well, they used real potatoes, not the flakes like some restaurants. As good as the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were, the best part was the mac and cheese. This is a baked mac and cheese with a creamy sauce and breadcrumbs on top. This mac and cheese was truly some of the best I have found in Oklahoma City. They also serve it as an entree, I will be ordering it next time.

We had a great experience at the Bricktown Brewery and I really need to remember it is there so I can visit more often. Service was outstanding and the food was incredible. There are lots of locations around the state, so pick one and go. My visit was to the Memorial Road location and it was wonderful.

Food Friday: Dado’s Pizza

We’ve both heard a lot about Dado’s Pizza over the past few years, it has been called the best pizza in Oklahoma City. I finally got to try them out a few weeks ago and even though I haven’t experienced New York pizza yet, this might be as close as I get in Oklahoma City.

It’s actually hard to find at first, stuffed in the middle of a strip mall. Dado’s Pizza is small, when you walk in you are greeted by a huge case with slices of pizza. You can get the pizza by the slice or a whole pie. Because Big K was hungry, we went with a whole pizza as well as an order of mozzarella sticks. Now the restaurant isn’t very big since many of their customers do take out, there is some outdoor seating, as well as a few spots near the door and in the back. We went to the back and waited for our food to arrive. It didn’t take long for the mozzarella sticks. These were big sticks that were almost a meal by themselves. Really good, lots of cheese pull. Then the pizza arrived. We went with the three meats pizza, loaded with sausage, bacon, and pepperoni. It was huge and meant to be eaten the way they do in New York, by folding it. To be honest, I’ve never eaten a slice of pizza that way but it worked. The crust was light, the crushed tomatoes weren’t overpowering. Loved the flavor of the meats, the only downside was I thought there could have been more cheese.

Overall we both loved it. I think next time, I’ll just get a slice or two and not a whole pizza. Maybe try some of their other varieties. I give them 5 strips of bacon.
