Dining One of the most popular restaurants near Beavers Bend is Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Tap Room , a rustic pizzeria serving up delicious pies, salads and local craft brews. If the weather is nice, dine on the patio for a chance to catch some live music! Rolling Fork Takery , established in 2017, is another worthy dining destination in the area. The restaurant itself is actually an old subway car now transformed into a modern deli with a fun, casual self-serve vibe. The owners take great pride in serving fresh, locally sourced produce and meats so guests can enjoy healthy artisan meals farm to fork. Crowd favorites are the sliders, tacos and salads, but they also have lots of grab-and-go meals and snacks to keep your kids happy on the trails. Dine in on the back patio or order online for a quick carry-out option. On your way home On the drive back to Oklahoma City, stop halfway in Krebs, just outside of McAlester, to grab lunch or dinner and experience the “Little Italy” of Oklahoma. In 1875, Krebs was established as a small mining town, recruiting a mix of immigrants to work the Indian Territory mines. By 1907, nearly half of the growing population was Italian-Amer- ican, so naturally these workers brought their favorite family recipes with them. Pete’s Place is the longest-running Italian restaurant in Krebs, established in 1925, and was once the home of early immigrant Pete Prichard. After suffering a disabling mining injury, Pete pursued home brewing, resulting in his original Choc beer, still served at the restaurant today. Shortly thereafter, Pete gained a reputation for his culinary skills and authentic Italian cuisine, like spaghetti, ravioli and meatballs. These dishes, among others, can still be enjoyed family-style at Pete’s Place. Krebs is also home to Lovera’s , a family- owned Italian market, open since 1946 and touted for its award-winning cheeses. The shelves are lined with an assortment of handcrafted delicacies, including homemade sausages, artisan cheeses, antipasti and olive oils. Whether for a spring getaway, summer vacation or planning ahead for fall fun, the outdoor experiences, respite from daily hustle and bustle and time spent with those you love will make Beavers Bend a family favorite destination for memory making and reconnecting.
