Best Patio Dining for Families in OKC BY METROFAMILY STAFF. PHOTOS PROVIDED.
W hen the weather’s nice, there’s nothing a family loves more than eating outdoors. Whether we’re grabbing a quick bite before playing at the park or enjoying a long dinner under twinkling lights, patio dining gives us a chance to slow down and soak up everything we love about Oklahoma City. With kids in tow, we’re always on the lookout for restaurants that have patio dining with family-friendly vibes, good food (obviously!) and room for kids to be kids. Here are a few of our personal favorites for the best patio dining in OKC — perfect for your next outdoor dining adventure.
HALL’S PIZZA KITCHEN BY PAYTON MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY
Hall’s Pizza Kitchen Midtown
This rooftop patio has our whole heart. It’s cozy year-round, thanks to heaters and blankets in cooler months, and the view of the OKC skyline? Unmatched. It’s one of those spots that makes you pause and think, “Wow — this is a pretty incredible place to live.” Spark Scissortail Park + Nichols Hills + Chisholm Creek This colorful burger joint is made for families. We love the classic combo of a flavorful burger, their pink fries and creamy custard — and the Scissortail Park location’s patio views the park, so it’s perfect for people-watching and soaking in the sunshine. Barrios Fine Mexican Dishes Midtown Tucked behind this restaurant is one of OKC’s prettiest patios — a lush little courtyard that feels like a secret garden. It’s shaded, peaceful and full of charm. Barrios is our go-to when we want something a little more elevated but still laid-back enough for kids. Their enchiladas are always a solid choice, and the chips, salsa and guac disappear quickly at our table.
Empire Slice House Plaza District
Rain or shine, Empire’s covered patio is a win. With heaters in the winter and a cool breeze in summer, it’s a go-to year-round. This is also one of our top picks for dining with a crowd — the vibe is relaxed, kid noise is no problem and the pizzas are big enough to feed the whole gang.
