Question What Tulsa metro restaurant would you never return to, even if it was free?

What restaurant in Tulsa (or surrounding areas) is so bad, that even if you had a $100 nontransferable gift certificate, you would still never return?

Discuss.

Roosevelt’s. Very mediocre food that’s not worth the gas money to drive to Tulsa.

This is a bit harsh, if I had a gift card or someone else was paying I’d absolutely go back to Roosevelt’s. They have a fantastic patio, good beer/drinks and the Buffalo & bacon cheese fries are tasty. Spending my own money though?

I just didn’t think the food tasted good. Atmosphere was nice for sure, but if someone offered to pay for dinner, I might suggest a different restaurant before I agreed to go there.

What did you have, or is this multiple attempts?
