Trivet's Family Restaurant

Trivet's is one of the first restaurants my Husband tried when coming to Oklahoma to find a house before we moved here. He and his mother enjoyed some country cooking and delicious pies. He immediately called me to tell me about it.

At Trivet's, the food isn't amazing or outstanding. It's just a nice place to eat when you're hungry for some home cooking. My favorite thing to order here is the Richard's Grand Potato. It's a large baked potato with cooked onions, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and beef roast. I really like it, and sometimes it hits the spot when I want a hot meal.

They also have excellent pies, including coconut cream, pecan, cherry, and chocolate. All homemade. My favorite is the pecan pie. And people like chewy vs. creamy pie, and their pecan pie is creamy.

Trivet's is located in Elgin, OK in the middle of the main street going into town. You take the turnpike to the Elgin exit and then turn right and just follow the road into town.

Meers Country Store and Restaurant

My Family and I outside of Meers.



The Meers Country Store and Restaurant isn't much of a store, but it is a great restaurant. It has received many awards and high marks for it's Longhorn Burgers, and in my opinion has the best Banana Pudding ever. My husband and I were told about this restaurant by someone who had previously lived here.

Our first venture to Meers was a failure. We mapped the location on Mapquest, and drove for what felt like forever in the middle of nowhere until we finally turned around. We both agreed, there's no possible way there's a restaurant out here! We ended up eating at a sub-par restaurant close to the lake and I wound up with food poisoning. Ick!

We finally decided to go out there again, and lo and behold, they really were out in the middle of nowhere! After driving about 25 miles from our home, we arrived to a dead end right to the Restaurant. It's over 100 years old, and practically falling apart.

After we tried their Meers Burger, we were hooked. Since our first visit, we've taken our parents, friends, and siblings for a Meers Burger as well. We suggest it to all of our friends and anyone we meet who is new to the area.

Meers is located close to the Wichita Mountains, Mount Scott (the only mountain in OK!), and the Wildlife Refuge. There is a really neat Museum at the Visitors center, only a few miles from the restaurant if you head down the left side of the road when you're facing the front of Meers. If you head out there, take pictures of the beautiful scenery! You might see a buffalo along the way!
