This historic burger stand - in place since 1954 - is one of our absolute favorites.
It feels like you're walking back in time: there are no tables, just bar stool seating with the family taking orders and cooking.
Do not take a big group here - but you can always order food for a big group 'to go'...just recommend calling to order before you get there.
There's nothing fancy here - no frills - Claud's has a very limited menu, but the food is deliciously consistent.

Great casual, family-oriented dining, been around in Tulsa for decades (this is their newest location).
The service is 'team oriented', so you may have multiple servers while you're there. Nothing fancy here - just great food in a good atmosphere. Try the chicken fingers...and dip them in gravy!
The other location - located on 15th Street -- is a pub-like setting, and may be a tad closer to The Madison. Food is great at both, but we really enjoy the environment at this location.

Cain's Ballroom is a historic Tulsa music venue. It was built in 1924 and had several purposes before it became known as one of the top performance venues in the country.
As The Home of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys from 1935 to 1942, the ballroom was especially significant for popularizing a new sound of western music called western swing, a form of country and western that combined jazz, hillbilly, boogie, blues, big band swing, rhumba, mariachi and jitterbug music.
Today, Cain's Ballroom is a favorite touring stop for musicians across the country. The venue also regularly books comedians and other touring acts, in addition to hosting private events.

A must-see aquarium, great for all ages. Home to the world's largest collection of bull-sharks (they have other sharks, too!), in a really huge tank that has a walk-through tunnel, allowing you to be right alongside the sharks in their environment. I'd recommend buying tickets in advance.
