Based in Seminole, Fry Daddy’s is open seven days a week, but its schedule takes it to Oklahoma City and every town between the city and Seminole. Its most popular item is the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, but the truck also offers Philly cheesesteak fries and nachos in addition to a classic cheeseburger that can be topped with chili and bacon. There’s also no reason to wait until the state fair to try funnel cake fries when they’re available at Fry Daddy’s year-round.

Big Lenny’s BBQ
Del City

405-863-0338

Pork is the star of the show at Big Lenny’s, where the motto is “BBQ so good, you don’t need the sauce.” St. Louis-cut ribs, which are much larger in comparison to the baby-back cut, get the preference at Big Lenny’s and are served with potato salad and baked beans. You can also get pulled pork stuffed in a baked potato for an epic meal.
