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.
