Eight places to consider for Italian dinners, barbecue, pizza, and casual lunches during your Broken Bow getaway.
Choosing where to eat is easier when you start with the kind of meal you want. A dinner for two calls for a different place than lunch after hiking or pizza for the whole family.
These eight restaurants give you options for different occasions. They aren’t ranked in order. Use the comparison below to narrow your choices, then check the restaurant’s current menu and hours before heading out.

Pressa Italia
Pressa Italia is a good option when you want dinner to be one of the main events of your trip. Its Italian menu includes homemade pasta and pizza, accompanied by Italian wines and cocktails.
The restaurant has limited seating and recommends reservations, particularly on weekends. It also offers patio dining, so ask about outdoor seating if that’s your preference.
Choose this for an evening when you have time to settle in and enjoy a meal together.
Abendigo’s Grill & Patio
Abendigo’s combines a Southern steakhouse menu with an outdoor patio and live music programming. It suits a planned dinner out, whether you’re traveling as a couple or sharing a weekend with friends.
Check the restaurant’s reservation options and events calendar when choosing your evening. Music schedules vary, so confirm what’s happening on your dates rather than assuming there will be a performance.
Give yourselves enough time to return from the lake or trails before dinner, particularly if you’ve booked a table.
Naaman’s BBQ of Hochatown
Naaman’s is an option for the day your group wants barbecue. The Hochatown menu includes sliced brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and sausage, with sandwiches and meat plates offering different ways to order.
Sides include cheesy corn, potato salad, coleslaw, and twice-baked potatoes. Check the current menu for availability and choices that suit your group.
Naaman’s has multiple locations, so use the Hochatown menu and hours when planning your visit.
Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Tap Room
Grateful Head gives you a straightforward answer when everyone wants to share pizza and keep the meal casual. Its Grateful Dead theme and schoolhouse origins give the restaurant a distinct personality.
The business began serving pizza in Hochatown in 2010 and also has a location in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Make sure you’re checking information for the Oklahoma restaurant.
This is an easy meal to build into a day of activities without making dinner a formal occasion.
Mountain Fork Brewery
Mountain Fork Brewery is worth considering when your group wants a meal alongside locally brewed beer. Its food offerings include pizza, wings, and other pub-style choices.
The brewery was established in 2015 and uses water sourced from the Mountain Fork River. Its website provides current food and beer menus, online ordering, and table-booking options.
Browse the food menu as well as the tap list so everyone in your group knows what to expect.
Fish Tales Winery & Bistro
Fish Tales offers a different kind of stop from the barbecue and pizza options. Its bistro menu features choices such as panini, salads, sharing boards, and dips to accompany wine.
Consider it for a lighter lunch or an afternoon meal when you’d like to sit together over several dishes. Check the current bistro menu before visiting, particularly if anyone has specific dietary needs.
It’s a useful option for a day when you want a meal out but already have dinner planned at the cabin.
Lake Bums Buzz Bar & Grill
Lake Bums serves casual grill food, including burgers, cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches, and salads. It fits a lunch stop or an uncomplicated dinner when your group wants familiar choices.
Check opening days before making it your arrival-night dinner plan.
Tuklo Grill
Tuklo Grill offers Southern cuisine within Choctaw Landing. It’s an option if you’d like to combine a restaurant meal with an event or another activity at the property.
Check its current dining information and reservation availability before visiting. If an event is part of your plan, confirm the venue and timing separately so you can leave enough room for dinner.
Leave an Evening for Dinner at the Cabin
You don’t need a restaurant reservation every night. Bring ingredients for the propane grill, gather around the covered patio table, and enjoy an evening without another drive.
Stay at Okie Hideaway in Hochatown
Okie Hideaway accommodates up to six guests with two king suites, each with a private bathroom, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. The kitchen, grill, and outdoor dining space give you flexibility to mix meals out with time at the cabin.
