Lone Wolf Howls by the Riverside

Lone Wolf, the Tulsa favorite that once prowled the streets as a humble food truck, is now preparing to leap into new territory. With a spacious five-acre plot right along the river that used to house Sandbar, the eatery is transforming into a full-service destination.

• Riverside Haven: The new location at Riverside has plans for a double-decker patio, yard bar, and sand bar, promising a unique blend of dining and entertainment surrounded by river views.

• Howl Of Approval: The journey from a food truck to a quick-serve restaurant, and now to a full-service aspect, has been met with overwhelming support from the Tulsa community. Owner Phillip Phillips attributes this expansion as a symbol of growth and sees it as "Lone Wolf pushed into the next 10 years," offering an upgraded menu and curated cocktails.
