Places to Eat in OKC

If you are looking for healthy options around town, check out the places listed below! It was intended to be a list of all the local hot spots who serve organic, locally sourced, gluten free, plant-based, or humanely raised options, but it has turned into more of a plant-based options list, minus a few. 

The names with asterisks next to them are all of the places I have tried. The others were ideas given to me by you, my followers! If you have anything to add to this list, please comment below or contact me directly. This will be an evolving list for everyone to use as a resource. I'm sure there are a lot of great places we are missing. Let me know what you try and what your thoughts are!
