Not too far from my house are the stockyards, the last true bastion of Oklahoma City’s yee-haw, giddy-up cowboy culture. While one of their most famous restaurants, Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, has been written about by not only me but people with far greater reach, I seriously doubt anyone has taken the time to try Heather’s Stockyards Café, 2501 Exchange Ave.
Known as Stockyards City Café and, on the menu, Heather’s Place in the Yard, at first glance, surrounded by the semis and such, it’s a very easy place to miss. But thank God for the continuous signage that helps point you in the right direction to the parking lot and the bare building with only a neon “Open” sign to help guide the way.
