Cushing is small and very local‑feeling, but there’s still a handful of newer or newly buzz‑worthy spots that punch above their weight—especially for comfort food, coffee, and casual hangs. These five are worth a stop if you live nearby or are passing through on Hwy 33.
1. Godofredo’s Pizzeria & Tap Room
A cozy, brick‑walled pizzeria that feels like a little slice of big‑city restaurant in a small town.
Expect hand‑tossed pizzas with classic and creative toppings, wings, salads, sandwiches, and a rotating selection of beers on tap. It’s a go‑to for casual dinners, game nights, and family outings.
2. Naifeh’s Steak House
Not brand‑new, but recently refreshed and still one of Cushing’s most talked‑about spots.
The menu leans classic steakhouse—hand‑cut steaks, baked potatoes, grilled chicken, and seafood—plus salads and hearty sides. It’s the place locals use for celebrations and “nice” nights out.
3. Los Molcajetes
A newer‑feeling Mexican restaurant with bright decor and big portions.
You’ll find combo plates, enchiladas, fajitas, chimichangas, tacos, and margaritas. Chips and salsa hit the table quickly, service is friendly, and it’s an easy weeknight staple.
4. Copper Penny Café
A casual café that’s become a popular stop for breakfast and lunch.
Think omelets, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, burgers, sandwiches, and daily specials. It has that small‑town diner warmth but with a slightly more modern menu.
5. Braum’s (Updated Local Favorite)
While it’s a regional chain, Braum’s is a newer anchor in town and genuinely matters to locals.
Expect burgers, fries, ice cream, and a small market area with dairy products. It’s a convenient, kid‑friendly stop and a regular part of many Cushing residents’ rotation.
