Tulsa Places

My little dude and I checked out the Route 66 Historical Village at 3770 Southwest Blvd. in Tulsa. We are SO excited about the Route’s Centennial and getting as many passport stamps as we can!🚗🚙

The Route 66 Historical Village is one of those spots that instantly makes you feel nostalgic. From the massive oil derrick towering over Southwest Boulevard to the vintage train cars, restored steam engine, and old-school Phillips 66-style station, this place perfectly captures Tulsa’s deep roots in oil, railroads, and the Mother Road. Plus, we got to see the new “Welcome to Tulsa” sign up close.

It’s FREE to explore, packed with photo ops, and honestly feels like stepping back in time. Whether you’re a Route 66 enthusiast or just looking for a unique Tulsa stop, this hidden gem is worth the visit.

A guest Route 66 Chic 🐥 joined the mix today! My gal pal joined me at Parsia Mediterranean Grill at 2615 E. 11th st, and let me tell you, it is a must stop along Route 66! Tulsa Places has been exploring restaurants along the Mother Road 🚙 in celebration of its Centennial! 🎉

Parsia is what one might call a hole-in-the-wall … the BEST kind of culinary discoveries 🍴✨

Check out the colorful, fresh grilled veggies on Beth’s Veg Plate 🌈🥗 My shawarma sandwich was absolutely humongous — and the meat was so tender and delicious. It was enough for two meals — no joke. They even brought us some chicken to sample, and honestly… phenomenal. 🤤

Tulsa needs more Mediterranean food like this! So happy we discovered Parsia, and we’ll definitely be back. ❤️

Coming soon to 99th & Mingo… Monarca 🦋 Cuisine Tequila Bar. I still miss Ridge Cantina, but happy to see something going in this space! It’s not Tulsa if a Mexican restaurant isn’t opening somewhere every month… am I right?! 😆

We’re back for our FOURTH stop along Route 66! 🚗✨

In case you missed it, we’re hitting a different restaurant along the Mother Road each month in 2026 to celebrate the Centennial—aka your favorite gal pal duo is officially the Route 66 Chics.

This time, we made our way to Sapulpa’s oldest restaurant, Happy Burger—and it did not disappoint. Honestly, it feels like this place hasn’t changed much since it opened in 1957… in the best way possible. 🍔

Think classic burger joint vibes with all the fried favorites: juicy burgers, chicken fried steak sandwiches, hand-cut fries, tots, plus malts, shakes and those iconic specialty limeades.

The food? So good. Bernie, of course, chose to daintily dig right in to the burger (major throwback to our Burger Babes era of 2023 😂). The toy truck and car decor totally leans into that nostalgic Mother Road charm, and yes… it’s an official stop in the yellow Route 66 Passport—so you KNOW I got that stamp. Woot woot!

If you’re looking for a true Route 66 experience, this classic spot is a must.

Where should we for Stop #5? 🚗🚙
