Most Tulsans will remember the Charlie Mitchell’s restaurants – with two locations, the restaurant brought British pub fare to eager customers – that shuttered in the mid-1990s. The restaurant’s namesake never left Tulsa, but a revival of the original is back and booming. Charlie Mitchell’s Modern Pub offers some of the same classics that made the original so popular with Tulsans – think Shepherd’s Pie, Monte Cristo sandwiches and fish and chips – along with dishes that are familiar to palettes that crave fresher, lighter dishes. The fish tacos, stuffed with grilled or fried fish, cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado and chipotle aioli, are a great option at the stylish pub, as are the brick oven pizzas and diverse selection of salads. One can still get a great, hefty burger topped with all the fixings; this is, after all, still a pub. 4848 S. Yale, Tulsa. www.charliemitchells.com
