The OKC dining scene has grown immensely in breadth and variety – it might have been difficult 10 years ago to imagine a vegan food truck being successful enough to expand into a brick-and-mortar restaurant, but we found a crowd eating and a line at the counter in the middle of a weekday afternoon at The Loaded Bowl, 1211 SW 2nd. While its Farmers Market-adjacent location is nice synergy for customers who care about quality ingredients, the outstanding cashew mac and cheese is rich and delicious enough to draw admirers anywhere, especially if you get it with the Down Home Bowl’s meat-free barbeque and broccoli.
