Aaimpa' Café — Restaurant in Sulphur

My granddaughters & I really enjoy this little cafe. It has a pleasant & peaceful feeling. Very spacious, clean, prices are reasonable, & portion size are good amount. You should never go away feeling hungry. My favorite meal is the combo. You get a huge Indian taco, Pashofa (hominy)soup & a grape dumpling. All are delicious. It has become a favorite little spot for us to go in the summer months when Oklahoma heat drives us back inside to cool down. You should stop by. have a quick bite, cold drink & look around. It's free to enter. We travel through Sulphur, Oklahoma, on our way to Ada. Which is where the headquarters of our Tribe is located. While in the area, like history and museums, the Chickasaw capital bldg is in Tishamigo, Oklahoma, and not that far away. We never get tired of getting the same meal each time . The tacos really are that good.

At this location there's more offerrd to see & do than to only eat. Anyway, we have so many wonderful memories together here. It's nice having this special one of a kind restaurant. If you have time,try to walk around the area for a few minutes. You'll see the many different ways the Chickasaws lived after they had to leave their home lands in Chickasaw, Mississippi.

Go east on Highway 7 to Sulphur, Oklahoma. It's easy to find, the parking lot is big & you get an opportunity to learn a little Oklahoma & Native...

Unfortunately for me I ate at Aaimpa cafe. I unusually like to complain about a place so here it goes: they gave to big of portions that tasted great and the cost was to low! It was clean and cool. That was really upsetting as the staff was friendly on top of it! I had nothing to complain about. On a side note, when you tour the village, I might recommend going out on the sky bridge as it looks down on the village and really has an impact. We watched and participated in a stomp dance. All of the folks were so nice and took time to explain background, importance and helped understanding it's importance. If you do not like friendly people who shake your hand then this might not be...

We were passing through the town and we stumbled upon the Chickasaw Cultural Center. We were greeted at the gate and told about all of the events currently going on. We were originally just there for the cafe, but we stayed and learned a lot!

The Indian tacos were absolutely delicious, mostly owing to the wonderful fry bread. I am going to try to make the fry bread myself because it was so good. The buffalo burger I got was pretty good, not very different from a beef burger. The venison stew was really good, especially when dipping fry bread in it.

If I'm ever traveling through the area again, I'll...
