I was finally let in on an Oklahoma secret yesterday - Eischen’s Bar in Okarche.

It was my first time to make the 30-45 min drive from the metro, but it was well worth it. A few of us went out after work and ordered the famous fried chicken and a couple sides of fried okra. They only have a couple items on the menu, so it isn’t hard to make a decision about what to order.

Supposedly its the oldest bar in Oklahoma - opening in something like 1896. The chicken was brought to the table in paper baskets and they give everyone a handful of waxpaper instead of plates. A couple of us also brought in plastic forks because apparently there is a silverware shortage in Okarche, or at least at Eischen’s.

Make sure and bring cash or check because they don’t accept credit/debit cards.
