Food Friday: Prairie Fire Grill

Elk City is a cute town in western Oklahoma, Route 66 runs right through it. They have a great museum out there, they also have some great restaurants as well. One that caught our eye was Prairie Fire Grill, mostly because it’s in an old MKT train station.

We stopped early on a Saturday night and were impressed with the interior which was mostly original to the station. We decided to start with the fried goat cheese. We made a great choice. The goat cheese was split into slabs, covered in panko, and deep fried. Served with a delightful raspberry jalapeno sauce, this was an incredible appetizer. The cheese was melted perfectly with a slight bit of tang. The sauce wasn’t overly sweet or spicy but gave a depth to the goat cheese that I hadn’t experienced before. Now I wanted something different so I went with a Prairie Fire Melt with pork belly added. This sandwich had a three cheese pimento spread with the pork belly in between jalapeno bread, then grilled. It was really good. Once again the jalapeno didn’t add too much fire but just enough to make it interesting. The pork belly had been fried perfectly and paired nicely with the pimento spread. I got their gouda mac and cheese as a side, this was also really good. The gouda give it a bit of tang and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Now Big K also went different as well ordering the Prairie Meatballs. The meatballs are made of ground chuck and hot sausage, served over a bed of mashed potatoes, covered in a Dr Pepper sauce. I had a bite and would love to get that sauce in a bottle, wow. Big K loved the unique flavor of the meatballs and also loved the Dr Pepper sauce covering everything. We also had dessert, because truthfully that pecan cobbler was calling to both of us. It was like a pecan pie with a cobbler top, warmed with a big serving of vanilla ice cream. I still think about how good it was a couple months later.

Service was great, food was served quickly. Everything was so good, it’s worth an hour and a half drive from the OKC metro to check them out. They started in 2011, restored the train station, and have won many awards for their excellent food. I will give them 5 strips of bacon, trust me, it’s worth the drive.

Address: 422 S Main St., Elk City.

Food Friday: Chuck’s Place

While on a day trip down old Route 66, we stopped at a small burger place in Elk City for lunch. Chuck’s Place is in a small strip mall on Route 66 just as you come into town. It was lunch time and it looked like an interesting place to stop.

This is an old-style diner, just walk up to the counter and order. They don’t have a huge menu, burgers, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets along with the Oklahoma staple of chicken fried steak. Since it was lunch time, I went with a fried onion cheese burger with a side of fried cheese curds. Big K got the same but with a side of chili cheese tots. I could see the cook placing the fresh hamburger meat on the grill right after I ordered, so that’s how fresh the food was. Didn’t take long before the waitress brought our food. The burger was juicy with lots of cheese, fried onions, and fresh pickles. The fried cheese curds were awesome as well. I had a bite of the chili cheese tots and they were awesome as well.

Chuck’s Place is a good place to stop for a quick lunch, plus it’s right on historic Route 66. They also serve breakfast in the mornings, looks like I might have to get there earlier next time. They don’t do dinner, weekdays they close by 2p and weekends at 4p. I give them 5 strips of bacon.

Address: 308 N Van Buren Ave., Elk City.
