Steak, cocktails, coffee and the like are all done right at Abendigo’s Grill Patio. Spend your evening listening to live music on the patio (click HERE to check their web page for the line-up of artists and dates). Enjoy shopping in their eclectic, yet classy gift shop or enjoy a craft coffee beverage on the front porch while you wait to be seated. We here at the Travel Happy Blog place this as our very favorite spot to enjoy a nice dinner.
The pulled pork nachos are a great starter. Don’t be afraid of dinner portions being too small either! The steaks are always worth a try! The Pasta Louisana and Chicken Madiera are great options as well. Their menu changes with the seasons and they’re always including new and exciting options. If you like a great mixed drink, we mightly recommend the Moscow Mules with locally crafted vodka.

With one of the largest and best-tasting assortments of craft, locally brewed beers in SE Oklahoma, Mountain Fork Brewery is among the great Broken Bow breweries. If you are looking for fantastic grub, they have the best brick-oven pizzas in town!
Try the Tubby Keith, the Kitchen Sink or if you’re one of those freaks that likes pineapple on their pie, the Hula Pie is admittedly very good. Their burgers will also find a spot in your lineup. The Jalapeno Cream Cheeseburger may not be good for your belly, but it’s for dang sure good for your soul.
4. The Hochatown Saloon
Price Point: $$
Location: 28 Old Hochatown Rd, Broken Bow, OK 74728

The Hochatown Saloon is another fantastic spot to hear some great live music while you enjoy fantastic food! We found that as far as value goes, this spot is among the best. The quality of the food and mixed drinks comes at a very reasonable price.
The fun, saloon-style décor takes you back to the wild west, without the shootouts or bad piano playing in the background. The Southwestern Eggrolls are always a hit to start and the Chicken Fried Steak can feed a small village. They also have a fantastic bread pudding to wrap up your meal!
