Cushing may be the “Pipeline Crossroads of the World,” but its dining scene is rooted in small-town hospitality—hearty plates, family recipes, and no-fuss flavor that keeps locals loyal.
Naifeh’s Deli and Grill
A community staple, Naifeh’s blends Mediterranean touches with deli comfort.
Gyros are stacked with well-seasoned meat, tzatziki is cool and garlicky, and the pita is soft and warm.
On the deli side, stacked sandwiches and crisp salads make for quick, satisfying lunches.
It’s friendly, fast, and consistently fresh.
Rodgers & Sons BBQ
This hometown smokehouse keeps things simple and satisfying. Brisket boasts a peppery crust and visible smoke ring, pulled pork is juicy, and ribs strike that tender-but-not-mushy sweet spot.
House-made sides—beans with a hint of sweetness, creamy potato salad—round out plates built for big appetites.
Grab a peach cobbler if it’s on offer.
Mazzio’s Italian Eatery
For family pizza night, Mazzio’s is the familiar favorite—crisp-thin or hand-tossed crusts, classic toppings, and a buffet that hits nostalgia.
Add in cheesy breadsticks and a salad bar, and it’s an easy, affordable crowd-pleaser after games or practices.
Sunny’s Cafe
A cozy spot for breakfast and lunch, Sunny’s is known for fluffy pancakes, country-fried steak with peppery gravy, and omelets loaded with local veggies and cheese.
Coffee refills are constant, service is neighborly, and daily specials keep regulars coming back.
Expect that comforting, “good morning, hon” energy.
Braum’s
Sometimes what you want is simple: a burger basket, crinkle-cut fries, and a scoop or two of real-deal ice cream.
Braum’s is an Oklahoma classic for a reason—fresh dairy, solid burgers, and shakes that taste like childhood. It’s the quintessential quick stop that never disappoints.
