A cup of tea with Margo

This blog is all about the things in life so many of us need to slow down and enjoy, such as, family, the seasons, food, music, and whatever else causes inspiration. I hope to write as often as I can and it is my desire for you to be able to take a break and enjoy my entries with a cup of tea.

Pink House Ringing the Dinner Bell RSS

  Wednesday, April 06, 2011
Have you heard the good news yet about the Pink House Restaurant?

Well, after years of being known in Claremore as the top eating spot for lunch, we’ve turned a corner of sorts and are now also serving dinner. Yeaaaaaaa!!!

Our new dinner hours are from 5pm to 9pm, Thursday through Saturday. I can’t tell you how excited I am!

To tell you the truth... it was your requests that convinced me the time was right. You know the saying, persistence breaks down resistance? LOL. Well, everyone was clamoring so much for dinner, we knew we needed to do something to make it happen.

Just don’t come expecting anything ordinary though. We’ll have all your favorite dishes you crave, plus, some new dinner entrees destined to become classics. Items like brisket, prime rib, pork loin, black and bleu Caesar salad and delicious desserts like Key Lime Cake. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

So, get yourself out of the kitchen this week and visit us for dinner. We’ll provide the gourmet food and warm smiles.

You just bring your appetite.

See you soon,

Margo

Spend a Day in Claremore RSS

  Thursday, March 24, 2011
Travel old Route 66 north of Tulsa…past Catoosa’s Blue Whale and an oak tree or two …and you’ll soon come to Claremore, a town known for its deep sense of history and gracious hospitality.   
If you’ve never been here before, I want to personally invite you to come see our town and stop in to the Pink House Restaurant for a visit. We’re located at 4th St. and Weenonah in Downtown Claremore. Have lunch with us…and then make some time to see our historic community. 
Here are some suggestions of what to do:
Will Rogers Museum—Memorial museum at 1720 W. Will Rogers Blvd. spotlighting American Icon, Will Rogers. Features 12 galleries filled with art and artifacts. Great place to spend a carefree day and see some interesting history. Free admission but donation is suggested. 
J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum—If you like guns, this is the place for you. Houses 50,000 items including firearms, swords and knives. Located at 333 N. Lynn Riggs Blvd. Donation only.
Totem Pole Park—Folk Art featuring totem poles made from modern building materials. Currently owned and operated by the Rogers Historical Society. Ten miles northeast of Claremore. 
Shepherd’s Cross—80 acres housing an historic 1920s farmhouse and barn. Features Bible Garden, petting zoo, hayride and gift shop. Be sure to visit on sheep shearing days with the kids. Located at 16792 E. 450 Rd or go to their website at www.shepherdscross.com for directions.
Historic Downtown—Terrific antique shops and art galleries, plus, great turn of the century buildings and architecture. Also, check out the Horse of Course Tack Shop, the largest specialty tack shop in the region. They have a great gift shop and are right in the heart of historic downtown.
I think you’ll find Claremore to be a great place to visit. Come see us anytime and enjoy a little adventure in our charming town.  
See you soon,
Margo
