Jarrett’s 10 Best Places to Eat
These restaurants are all locally owned small businesses that have one huge thing in common besides great food, that is their exceptional service and commitment to providing the best experience possible. I have personally been to each one of these Restaurants. I love small business restaurants for several reasons. One, I am a small business. As an Edmond Real Estate Agent, I thoroughly understand how difficult it is competing with the big dogs. So, I can appreciate someone doing a great job and I want to support them. After all they are the ones going up against the big dogs.
Great food and Service is the key to get you through the door with only word of mouth. Two, the service is a lot better because they want you to return. Many times, the owners are working there. I always know it will be a good place if the owner comes out to greet you or check in while dining.
When you eat at one of those big chain restaurants you are missing the opportunity to support a local small business. When you support the locally owned businesses you are helping local families support themselves, buy food, pay for college etc. Most importantly the money you spend stays local and in our community. These are MY must go to local eateries.
1. The Heat Pizza (formally Humble Pie) If you loved Humble pie you’ll love this place. The Heat is the place to find buttery, flaky, deep dish crust filled with delicious toppings smothered with homemade sauce. Chicago style pizza right here in Edmond OK. I’ve always loved this place and reading through the reviews is making my mouth water. Keep in mind this is not fast food pizza. It does take a while to prepare a deep-dish pizza to perfection. If you’re in a hurry check out the online menu and call your order in ahead of time. Repeatedly I see in the reviews that this is the best Chicago style pizza in Oklahoma. They also keep saying that the owner often comes by to say hello. The heat pizza makes the list!

10. Eischen’s Bar – While this is not in Edmond, it is nearby and locally owned. Plus, this is one of those places that if you live in Edmond you must visit at least once. The menu is short and sweet. Who does not love fried chicken? This place knows how to do it right. If you’re in the mood for fried chicken, nachos, beer and hanging out with friends this is the place. A couple things to make note of- Make sure you stay the speed limit coming and going. (Small town tickets are big). Also make sure you bring cash because they don’t take plastic. Bring your friends.
