Bob and I ventured out to the big town of Mulhall, Oklahoma tonight to eat dinner at "Lucille's Restaurant". Lucille's is only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We began our dinner with Fried Mushrooms. They were awesome. While we were enjoying those, the waitress brought out the biggest hot rolls in the world. The butter just melted over the roll. We both ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. I got mashed potatoes and fried okra while Bob got a baked potato and hush puppies. They brought out another basket of rolls, this time with hot cornbread. The Chicken Fry was huge, smothered in cream gravy. The Mashed potatoes were home made, with real potatoes, covered in gravy. Part way through the meal, the man we think is the manager, came by our table and said to save room for FREE, home made cobbler. I had the Cherry while Bob had the peach. We brought home 2 full take home containers and both are so full we can hardly move. The place is named for Lucille Mulhall, who was a terrific cowgirl. (Be sure to read the back of the menu for her full history.) The restaurant is housed in an old bank and you can go visit the vault and see where thieves cut through the ceiling to get inside the vault. This is definitely worth the trip. The food was wonderful, filling and not terribly expensive, the drive down Highway 77 was really cool. We will be making a return trip. Their web site is www.lucillesok.com.
