Cheever’s Cafe is an upscale American bistro at 2409 N. Hudson Avenue, just south of Oklahoma City’s Uptown 23rd district near the Mesta Park neighborhood. It is known for refined Southwestern and Southern cooking, a polished cocktail and wine program, and one of the city’s best-loved chicken fried steaks. It holds a 4.7 Google rating from more than 2,800 reviews (source: [MenuToEat](https://menutoeat.com/cheevers-cafe/)).
The restaurant takes its name from the historic Cheever’s flower shop building it occupies. The dining room pairs warm, low lighting with an elegant but unfussy mood. The signature order is the Chicken Fried Steak. Diners praise its generous portion and its jalapeño cream gravy, which balances crisp breading with gentle heat (source: [Wheree](https://cheevers-cafe.wheree.com/menu)). The menu also offers shared plates, house cocktails, martinis and a “Day Drinking” list built for long weekend brunches (source: [MenuToEat](https://menutoeat.com/cheevers-cafe/)).
