A Tulsa Family Tradition
Since 1929

Nelson's Buffeteria has been a cornerstone of Tulsa dining for over nine decades. What started as a humble family kitchen has grown into an institution that generations of Tulsans call home. Every dish is crafted with the same love and care that has been our hallmark since day one.

World Famous Chicken Fried Steak

We cut, tenderize and hand-bread our Chicken Fried Steak fresh every single day — just like we always have.

Family Owned & Operated

Three generations of the same family serving Tulsa with pride, warmth and unfussy homestyle cooking.

Homemade Pies & Desserts Daily

From Banana Cream to Lemon Meringue — every pie and cake is made from scratch in our own kitchen.
