Unmistakable Celebrities From Oklahoma Started These Popular Restaurants
When a celebrity says they like a place, like Sylvestor Stallone, it's a big deal. It's an even bigger deal if they want to put down some roots and bring business to us here. Here's your list of the best restaurants in Oklahoma started by celebrities.
Reba's Place - Atoka, Oklahoma
This place literally brought tears to Reba's eyes when she first walked through after construction was finished. Her 50-50 partnership with the Choctaw Nation opened just last year.
Lining the walls in downtown Atoka, Oklahoma, Reba's Place is Reba's history, memorabilia and proudest moments - emotional stuff for the country music queen. "I wish momma and daddy could see it," she said during her first tour.
Ole Red's - Tishomingo, Oklahoma
We've already mentioned that Blake Shelton loves this bar so much, he often visits it and surprises visitors with a show they didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for.
Blake Shelton, the country music singer from Ada, Oklahoma, has a deep rooted love for good music and good food. "It's always been a dream of mine to create something like this where people... they're going to have a good time as soon as they walk in the door," he said.

Ole Red's is known for bringing Oklahoma's best artists up on stage - they've got to be good enough that if Blake were to show up and start singing with them, they can keep up (yes, it's happened before).
Toby Keith's I Love This Bar - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Toby Keith was always loved by more than Oklahomans. What started in Oklahoma City and Tulsa in the Hard Rock Casino has now grown nationally. But we get to say that it all started right here.
@brookebellendir1 10/10 it was so yummy! @Toby Keith #tobykeith #dinner #ilovethisbar #oklahoma #oklahomacheck #oklahomacity #bricktown #okc #ok #okie #datenight ♬ Oklahoma Breakdown - Toby Keith
They say that the make-it-or-break-it time for most businesses is 3 years - Toby Keith's has definitely outlived that time. Since 2005, Oklahoma has had its own slice of patriotic, red dirt paradise.
You never know who you'll see in Oklahoma or decides to plant their roots. But aren't we glad these people have.
