The Red Oak Steakhouse is part of the Downstream Casino in Quapaw, OK.\u00a0 Very much off the beaten path, though only a few hundred meters off Interstate 44 where Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas all meet.<\/p>\n

It is absolutely the best steakhouse in the area.\u00a0 The next closest steakhouse of similar caliber would be either Oklahoma City or Kansas City.<\/p>\n

The Martinis are also very good. \u00a0 The stems are kept in the refrigerator, they’re mixed perfectly & amply and served promptly.\u00a0 Their gin selection in pretty sparse but they do have my favorite: Bombay Sapphire.\u00a0 The barkeep is quite friendly and will be happy to regale you with the history of the Bar, the Casino, and the Quapaw tribe.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in this part of the country and hungry, then definitely stop in for the steak.\u00a0 Get a Martini too, they’re good.\u00a0\u00a0 It will be worth the side trip off the freeway.\u00a0 The Red Oak gets one stem:\u00a0 \"Martini<\/a><\/p>\n

For selection the Red Oak Steakhouse gets a C-.\u00a0 Their Gin selection is pretty short with Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, Tanqueray 10, and Hendricks.<\/p>\n
