Charming

Expect the Unexpected at Black Walnut. Concept owned by Chef Andrew Black – a 2023 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef Southwest, and a 2022 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Chef. Blending American cuisine with the neighborhood’s cultural history, the menu is eclectic and vibrant. The pairing of global street cocktails from Bali to Brazil adds to its culinary spirit, and a spacious patio makes this our community’s new favorite place to come together. Dressed but not dressy, Black Walnut OKC is the perfect balance of thoughtful food and an unbuttoned experience.

We really enjoyed our Dinner. It wasn’t overly crowded and service was great. I think the food was excellent for the cost. We had the fried green tomatoes, lobster bites, burgundy mushroom, beef ribs and the rack of lamb. We like the ribs and the fried green tomatoes most. Although, we would eat it all again.

We were here 12 months ago and visited again because we loved it so much the first time. We were sorry we missed Darlene. Service was excellent and food was amazing again! The cocktails were not as good as the first time we went, however the overall experience was still amazing.

Wow, great food. Service was excellent. Very modern environment. Exciting to have a wonderful restaurant. Looking forward to trying more from menu. We had the king salmon and the lamb rib. The salmon had crisp side with soft and moist texture. The lamb tasted great. Non-game. Tod, Shawnee

Nice environment, but the food is just okay. I wish the chef would have more unsweetened food options. Everything seem to have a sweet element and some of us (me) don’t want that. The honey chicken tasted like licorice and the salmon had raisins mixed in it.
