The city of Sallisaw, OK, is home to several restaurants offering the best dishes from the region. Whether you are a local resident or are passing by the area in your new 2023 Buick Enclave Avenir, here are three fantastic local restaurants you can reach in less than 10 minutes by car from the city center.

1. Ruger’s Grill

A spacious and modern restaurant serving a wide variety of steaks, gourmet hamburgers, and seafood dishes, Ruger’s Grill is a true local favorite in Sallisaw. Located at 118 E Cherokee Avenue in the heart of the downtown area, this restaurant is open Monday through Thursday between 6:00 am and 8:00 pm, Fridays and Saturdays from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm, and Sundays between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Although Ruger’s Grill is a fantastic spot to have lunch or dinner while in town, this place also offers takeaway. Besides their daily lunch and dinner specials, some of the most popular dishes you can find here include their breakfast burritos, top sirloin steaks, pulled pork sandwiches, and ½ lb. burgers with bacon and cheese. If you still have room for dessert, options include cinnamon rolls, raspberry chimichangas, and pretzel caramel brownies.

2. Wild Horse Mountain Bar-B-Que

Located just five miles south of the Sallisaw city center, Wild Horse Mountain Bar-B-Que is a true local institution that is certainly worth the 10-minute drive along route US-59. A small, rustic place that has kept its appearance largely unchanged since it first opened its doors to the public in 1965, this place serves large plates of barbecued meats and other American classics.

Open Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm, Wild Horse Mountain Bar-B-Que is a paradise for those wanting to taste the original flavors of the American south. Some of the most popular items on their menu include BBQ and pulled pork sandwiches, pork ribs, and BBQ hot links. When you visit this place, make sure to try their delicious homemade sauces.

3. Blue Ribbon Diner

Another well-known local restaurant serving classic American dishes, Blue Ribbon Diner is located at 1720 Cherokee Avenue and just one and a half miles west of the Sallisaw city center. Open every day of the week between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm, this place offers a large variety of specialties, including pork chops, chicken tenders, hand-breaded catfish, grilled cheese, and homemade burgers.
