The Snooty Fox in Tulsa (located at the Farm Shopping Center at 51st and Sheridan) cannot afford to rennovate the restaurant to accomodate smoking (it is a small privately owned restaurant), however, they have an absolutely beautiful courtyard behind the restaurant where smoking is permitted. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. The owners lost a lot of business due to the smoking ban. There were many people who came to the Snooty Fox to enjoy quality food and sit at the bar afterwards for a few drinks and cigarettes. The bar is now almost empty every time we go in.

Cuisine: Italian (very unique flavors! unlike any other italian restaurant in town)

A new IHOP was opened recently in Broken Arrow, OK at 71st (Kenosha) and County Line Road (near Lowe's). We used to go to the IHOP at 71st and Garnett. However, when the smoking ban went into effect, we found this other IHOP who has a separate smoking room with separate heating/AC. The IHOP is brand new and was constructed like that when built. Sure wish they would convert all of the restaurants to accommodate their smoking customers.




Friday’s at 61st and Memorial in Tulsa has constructed a ventilated bar for customers who chose to smoke. It’s roomy and isolated from the family atmosphere of the restaurant…it’s a great place to go for happy hour!

They are also in the process of constructing a ventilated bar at the 41st and Yale location, however, they have not yet decided whether they will allow smoking. I, personally, think they are testing the market to see how 61st and Memorial fares. I encourage everyone who enjoys a pro-choice atmosphere to patronize Friday’s at 61st and Memorial, and maybe the 41st and Yale location will follow suit.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you know of any other Oklahoma restaurants who cater to smokers anywhere in Oklahoma please send the details to

bbauer1@netzero.net and they will be added to this list.

I would also recommend that you print out the list and take it to the restaurant so they can post it on their premises if they so desire.

You can also call your reports to me at 405-616-7901.

Also, if you know of any restaurants who have gone out of business as a result of having lost so much business by reason of their compliance with the smoking laws please let us know about that too and I will put up a special listing in memory of their being among the dearly departed.

1. Ma Kittle's Restaurant at S.E. 15th & I-35
Ma Kittle's closed their doors forever 3 days after the smoking ban went into effect.
This was a great restaurant and will be badly missed thanks to the infinite wisdom of our Smoke-a-Nazi lawmakers. Shame on them.

2. Woodbridge Restaurant at 36th & S. Western is in the process of putting in a smoker's area. How long it will take to finish is anybody's guess.

I was there today and whereas it is normally very busy at mealtimes it was totally dead at noon today. All there customers have gone elsewhere and they are really hurting for business because of the smoking ban. Let us hope they get their smoking room fixed before they do go broke.
