Cheever's Cafe - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

First time here. I was in OKC looking for a good lunch spot at Cheever’s Cafe came up multiple times. I had read they can get very busy. I arrived about 11:15 and it only had a few people in there. Smaller place that is semi-upscale looking. Server was with me very quickly and very friendly and answered all my questions. I ordered the prime rib sandwich with house made potato chips. The sandwich was excellent. The meat was so tender and the rustic bread did a great job holding it all together even when dipped in the au jus. The sandwich also has arugula butter and horseradish on it. It was one of the best prime rib sandwiches I have had. The potato chips were also very good and there were a ton of them. While waiting for your entree they do provide you some delicious rolls with a seasoned butter to snack on. It was also very good. Overall it was a great meal and service was spot on as well. I will for sure come back next time I’m in OKC. I have been since told I must try the famous blue cheese potato chips on my next visit.

Nothing bad to say about this place. The food is amazing, the service is amazing, did I mention that this place is amazing.

When we walked in they asked if we had a reservation, we didn’t but they were able to seat us anyway. So might want to make a reservation if you have a party with you.

Food came out quick, hot and delicious. Chicken fried steak was amazing as well as the risotto.

Make this a place for dinner as often as you can!

In 2025 I’m headed back to try out their food! On this visit my party of 3 only went for dessert, which was off the wall delicious!!

We had heard of this fantastic Roasted Pecan Ice Cream Ball and knew we had to try and we did not leave disappointed! The are 3 sizes too choose from basically small, medium & large. The small
1/4 lb which was perfect for me. However, if you go larger you better have some help!

The third member of our group chose the Giant Carrot Cake and he shared with us, no doubt one of the best Carrot Cakes I’ve had! It was so moist & delicious you’ll definitely get a to go container. I’m certain it would be just as moist the next day!

Our group only went for dessert but after looking at the menu we decided we’re coming back for the food!

This is definitely a 5 Star location based on what I saw so I have to go back and confirm. You know if the dessert if excellent the main menu has to be just as good. More often than not we go for the food and leave little room for dessert, but I’m here to tell you leave room for dessert you won’t regret it!

The food was good but not special. I have eaten at a lot better places for quite a bit less in price and got more food. I was expecting more for the price. It would be nice to have salads served before the meal...small cute rolls are served. Tablecloth, candle and flowers on tables gives the place atmosphere. Outside patio tables and chairs.We had one drink each with our meal. Be prepared to spend $70. Or up to $100 plus for 2...not including the tip.

The picture in the bathroom perfectly sums up my meal here. It felt fancy and I was stuffed.

We started with the blue cheese chips. The green onion pesto is bright and flavorful cutting the fattiness of the blue cheese sauce. The chips were perfectly crisp and light, and it had a great saltiness. The blue cheese was a quality cheese with robust flavor and creamy texture. I would come here for that dish alone, which is why it is featured so heavily on the photos posted here.

The rolls are delightfully herbaceous and come with a butter with course pink salt. They are warm and perfectly accompanied the meal.

I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were nice and creamy and the shrimp wrapped in bacon were cooked to perfection.

My husband ordered the chicken fried steak. The jalapeño cream gravy is really what makes this dish. I understand why it is also heavily mentioned and featured. The gravy was superb and the chicken fried steak was of good quality. The potatoes were okay, but if you really enjoy a red skinned potato, you will likely give the potatoes much higher marks.

Service was superb. Our waitress suggested ordering a half order appetizer and I greatly appreciated the suggestion as it would have been too much to have a full order between the two of us. The plates were beautifully plated and presented. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

It gets very busy so I suggest making a reservation. The website makes it simple to make one. Parking is limited so you may have to walk quite a bit to get there once you have found a spot.

An absolute find. Quaint, high end food without being overly bougie. The dress code is high end casual.
Our server Will was excellent. We recommend the shrimp and grits, bread pudding, scalloped potatoes and more. Excellent t in every way.
Highly recommend this spot.

Exceptional service and great food: portions are generous (both my husband & I took home half of our meal. I had seafood enchiladas, he had chicken fried steak. And since a birthday was involved, dessert was on the house (chose the carrots cake: ginormous piece that was crazy good!). Parking can be funky at peak times, and the building and set up may be difficult for folks needing easily accessible seating. (Not impossible, but definitely scope it out first and plan ahead).

First visit! Went for lunch, it was so good! Had the prime rib sandwich and chips, Chicken Fry sandwich and the dessert ice cream ball with candied Pecans. Could have had a little more beef on sandwich but all was so fresh and hand made tasting! Service was fast and friendly, indoor seating was a little close, but outside is nice! Complimentary bread was awesome!
