Best Chili in Tulsa · Tulsa, OK
Ike's Chili is Tulsa's oldest restaurant, serving the same simple, old-fashioned chili since 1908 from a recipe passed down through four generations. Order it as a bowl, over spaghetti as a 'three-way,' or on a Coney — the plain, beanless, deeply savory chili that made the name.
A Route 66-era Tulsa institution once frequented by native son Will Rogers, Ike's has kept its recipe and its regulars for well over a century.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Ike's Chili cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
Founded by Ikaros Economou in 1908, Ike's has simmered its family recipe in Tulsa for over a century, making it one of Oklahoma's oldest restaurants.
Yes — Ike's Chili is the 2025 Centurion Award winner for Best Chili in Tulsa, a verified, criteria-based award. Named best chili in Tulsa for 2025 for more than a century of the Economou family recipe that Tulsa calls its own.
