Around the Corner Restaurant
11 S. Broadway, Edmond

This cozy, family-owned breakfast and lunch spot is a favorite of Edmond diners. After devouring its made- from-scratch blueberry waffle, youll understand why theres usually a wait for a table, especially on weekends. Youll most likely leave planning your next trip, perhaps for lunch, to have one of the burgers and an order of hand-cut curly fries.
Bigheads
617 S. Broadway Extension, Edmond
340-1925Bigheads offers Cajun-inspired favorites like red beans and rice, chicken and sausage gumbo and poboy sandwiches made with shrimp, catfish, blackened chicken, chicken strips, oysters, crawfish or alligator. There also are daily specials and side orders like sweet potato fries, fried pickles and (fried) calamari.
Othellos Italian Restaurant
1 S. Broadway, Edmond

This family-owned Oklahoma institution started in Norman in 1977 and opened its Edmond location in 2000. This casual eatery offers original family recipes, including tantalizing pasta dishes and perfectly made lasagna. Start with toasted ravioli. For an entree, try a house specialty like linguine with chicken and sun-dried tomatoes.
Haigets Restaurant & Catering
308 W. Edmond Road, Edmond

Haigets Restaurant introduces guests to the tastes of Kenya and Ethiopia. Offerings from each country are featured in separate menu sections, and the helpful staff will guide you through any questions you might have. To ease into the experience, we recommend the beef stew, a savory yet not-too-spicy dish. Enjoy it with chapati, a chewy Kenyan flat bread.
Rocky Mountain Grill
231 S. Coltrane Road, Edmond
562-4777This menu highlights a delicious blend of Tex-Mex and Americana inspired by New Mexico and Colorado cuisines. Breakfast options include a green chili burrito that can be smothered in green chili stew. There are also everyday favorites like French toast; chicken-fried steak; and Brians Special, a burger with all the trimmings topped with a fried egg.

Simply Falafel offers an array of flavorful Middle Eastern and American dishes. There are vegan and vegetarian choices, including tabbouleh, colorful fattoush salad and house tomato basil soup. For non-vegetarians, the lamb burger is well-seasoned and tender, and the chicken shawarma is wonderful as a sandwich or in a platter with basmati rice and vegetables.
