MoneyInc.com recently ranked the White Dog Hill restaurant east of Clinton, Oklahoma, as the best restaurant in the state.
The Clinton Daily News ran a story about the honor during a recent edition. Several other Route 66 restaurants also made the publication’s top 20.
MoneyInc said this about the restaurant, which is just off Route 66:
It might be in the middle of nowhere, but as Only In Your State points outs, White Dog Hil in Clinton is the perfect place to transport you away from the busyness of life. Set in an idyllic hillside position overlooking acres of Oklahoma’s beautiful scenery, the restaurant combines a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with amazing views, friendly service, and the kind of food you’d happily travel miles to try. Ther’s also an excellent selection of imported and craft beers, together with a very impressive cocktail selection – try the Dreamboat, a lip-smacking blend of Prairie Wolf Coffee Liqueur, bourbon, cold brew coffee, Licor 43 Infused Cream, and dark chocolate that’s every bit as dreamy as its name suggests.
Owner Nelson King about 15 years ago converted the former clubhouse that was built in the 1920s for a golf course.
Oklahoma Living magazine produced this video about the restaurant a few years ago:
Other Route 66-related restaurants that made the cut are Cattlemen’s Steakhouse of Oklahoma City, Ike’s Chili in Tulsa and Tally’s Good Food Cafe in Tulsa.
