As Easter Sunday approaches on April 20, many Tulsa residents are looking to celebrate the holiday with family and friends over a festive meal. While some may prefer to host at home, dozens of restaurants across the city are preparing to open their doors for brunch, lunch, and dinner services, offering a wide variety of cuisines and atmospheres to fit every taste and budget.

This year, OpenTable has highlighted more than 40 restaurants in the Tulsa area that will be open and accepting reservations for Easter. From classic brunch buffets to elegant multi-course meals, diners will have no shortage of options when planning their Easter Sunday.

One of the city’s most well-known fine dining spots, The Chalkboard Kitchen + Bar, located in the historic Ambassador Hotel, is offering a special holiday brunch. Known for its sophisticated take on classic American cuisine, The Chalkboard promises a seasonal menu with locally sourced ingredients in an intimate setting. Reservations are highly recommended due to limited seating and high demand.

Also joining the Easter lineup is Mahogany Prime Steakhouse, a Tulsa staple for upscale dining. Offering USDA Prime beef and premium seafood, Mahogany is an excellent choice for those looking to celebrate in a refined atmosphere. Easter Sunday diners can expect attentive service and a luxurious menu sure to impress.

For those seeking a more interactive experience, The Melting Pot in nearby Jenks will be open on Easter as well. Known for its multi-course fondue dining, this location offers a memorable meal perfect for small groups or romantic Easter dinners. While it may not follow the traditional ham-and-eggs approach, the fondue experience brings a unique twist to holiday dining.

Families looking for a welcoming and casual environment may gravitate toward The Warren Duck Club inside Doubletree Warren Place. This long-time favorite will offer a full Easter brunch buffet, featuring traditional favorites like honey-glazed ham, omelet stations, fresh fruit, and decadent desserts. It’s a perfect setting for families with kids, and the buffet-style service ensures there’s something for everyone.

For those willing to take a short drive, The Canebrake in Wagoner is offering a rustic Easter brunch experience. Nestled in the scenic countryside, The Canebrake’s seasonal menu draws inspiration from regional flavors and farm-to-table practices. Guests can enjoy the peaceful setting while indulging in creative dishes made with fresh, local ingredients.

Meanwhile, national favorites like Cracker Barrel will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Easter Sunday. With multiple Tulsa-area locations, Cracker Barrel offers a familiar menu with an Easter twist, including their “Heat n’ Serve” meals that guests can enjoy at the restaurant or take home to share. It’s a solid choice for those wanting a traditional Southern meal without the stress of cooking.

The Tulsa Club Hotel downtown will host an elegant Easter brunch in its historic art deco setting. The hotel’s in-house restaurant will offer buffet service and à la carte options, blending classic and contemporary dishes in a beautifully restored space.

In addition, Sapori, located on 15th Street in midtown Tulsa, is preparing a unique Italian-inspired Easter brunch. This neighborhood gem has developed a loyal following for its creative spins on classic Mediterranean cuisine and cozy yet upscale ambiance. Their Easter hours are limited to midday, so early reservations are essential.

Also participating in this year’s Easter festivities is the Marriott Tulsa Hotel Southern Hills, which traditionally features one of the area’s largest and most popular Easter brunch spreads. Complete with carving stations, pastries, seafood selections, and a dessert bar, this event-style meal is ideal for larger family gatherings.

While some restaurants will operate with their standard hours and menus, others have gone the extra mile by curating special Easter menus with exclusive dishes available only on Sunday. Patrons are advised to review the restaurant’s website or call ahead to confirm details, hours, and availability, as some locations require prepayment or large party deposits.

OpenTable’s Easter page for Tulsa also allows users to filter based on dietary preferences, price points, and times of availability — an increasingly helpful tool as tables fill quickly in the days leading up to the holiday. According to the platform, brunch hours from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. are the most popular, with many restaurants already reporting limited availability during peak times.

Local restaurateurs are reporting high interest for Easter this year. With spring weather settling in and families eager to gather, dining out provides a welcome opportunity to focus on time together without the added pressure of meal prep and cleanup.

“Easter is always a big day for restaurants in Tulsa,” said one OpenTable-listed venue. “We’re seeing strong bookings this year, and it’s a great sign that people want to get back to celebrating together.”

Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly buffet, a romantic setting, or a gourmet culinary experience, Tulsa’s restaurant scene is well-prepared to accommodate the Easter crowd. With options ranging from casual to upscale, diners are encouraged to make reservations early to secure their preferred times and locations.
