Mother's Day got you stumped? These Bartlesville restaurants can help
The time has come for all of Bartlesville to descend on local eateries to celebrate our mothers. As it happens, the National Restaurant Association says Mother's Day is the single most popular dining-out holiday of the year.
While some restaurants may close on Sundays, and others aren't necessarily doing anything special for the holiday, a few in Bartlesville are going above and beyond their usual offerings.
Reservations and availability vary by restaurant, so make sure to plan ahead wherever you plan to go.
Here are a few local favorites worth consideration as you plan your Mother's Day celebrations. And if you snap a photo during your meal, send us a copy at the email address listed at the bottom of the page to be featured in a special gallery next week.
Luigi's Italian Restaurant
Luigi's is a staple in the Bartlesville community, having opened in 2011 and proudly serving classic Italian dishes like Tortellini Alla Panna, Chicken Marsala and Stromboli for the last decade.
The restaurant recently opened a new location on Washington Boulevard that owner Vito Morino says provides a better customer experience. If you haven't yet visited, Mother's Day could be a great time to check out the new spot.
Morino is preparing special Mother's Day menu options that include steak tenderloin and Chicken Genovese.
The restaurant will not be taking call-aheads or reservations, but Morino hopes to open the outdoor patio for additional guests.
Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Copper Restaurant & Bar
Copper's opened its doors in 2003 and currently features handcrafted dishes by chef Albert ‘Nook’ Ducre.
The restaurant relocated to the 1st floor of the Price Tower in the Plaza dining area while the 15th and 16th floors are being remodeled.
Mother's Day menu will feature eggs benedict, crab cakes florentine, quail and waffles, shrimp omelet, beignets, mimosa flights and special Mother's Day drinks.
Stop into the art gallery, which currently features the exhibit “Evolution of Heartbreak” works by Alexis Hallum.
Restaurant space is limited; call and make reservations at 918-336-1000.
Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Hideaway Pizza
Located in the heart of downtown, Hideaway is considered by many to be the best pizza in Bartlesville, and some would argue it's among the best across the state.
Hideaway features traditional pizza and unique flavor combinations like The Pollinator which uses olive oil & garlic glaze, salami, spicy capicola, cup ‘n’ curl pepperoni, banana peppers and topped with honey.
Not in the mood for pizza, try one of their baked pastas or sandwiches - and make sure to order spicy fried pickles to share.
Hideaway won't be taking reservations, but you can join their waiting list online.
Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Soho Japanese Steakhouse
Soho opened in 2016 in the former location of Golden Corral and has been wowing customers ever since.
Soho's menu offers a variety, from hibachi meals to fresh sushi.
The hibachi grill dining experience offers tableside cooking, humor, and a little bit of showmanship.
If you are not in the mood for a show, find space in open seating and enjoy the same food, but without all the pizzazz.
Soho takes reservations online or over the phone at 918-876-3936.
Sunday hours are 11:00 a.m to 9:30 p.m.
Cooper and Mill Brewing Company
Cooper and Mill, established in 2020, is the first and only brewery in Bartlesville.
They offer craft beer brewed on-site and have up to ten styles available on tap.
Cooper and Mill is a family-friendly environment with pool tables, cornhole, board games and more with plenty of room to spread out.
They offer pizza for first-come first-serve every Sunday and Mother's Day won't be any different.
Sunday hours 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
