I haven’t been to Atlanta, but my girlfriend lived there for many years and insists that Chef Dee Creations, located at 2739 NW 36th Street, is the closest restaurant in Oklahoma City to capture the vibe and feeling of the Dirty South.
I had often wondered about the place every time I passed by and wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, it always seemed closed during my odd dining hours. This time, though, I was in luck. As we turned down NW 36th, the open sign was brightly shining, and eager customers were lining up for that Southern-infused food.
With homemade street art on the walls featuring various slogans, Dee’s is very small. The counter takes up around half the storefront, which is fine, as it seems more focused on carry-out and food delivery than sit-down dining. That works for me.
