Testimonials

"We are from Tulsa and love to relax at Lake Tenkiller. We will drive from the east side of the lake to Soda Steve’s for cheese fries, homemade root beer floats, twist cones, Oreo shakes... Everyone in our family has their favorite items on the menu and if we don't cover it on the first trip, we come back for another go around. We love the new expanded location and how we can stretch out on the deck and enjoy the peaceful view of the fountain. We love the feeling of being surrounded by other families that have also come together for fellowship. Happy families, great food and memories being made.... that's why we love it!"

The Alaback Family, Tulsa OK.

As a family that visits Fin & Feather 4-5 times each season, we highly recommend the resort as a wholesome, hospitable, family get away.  Everyone is so warm & friendly  making you feel so welcome.  The most relaxing part for me is not having to cook!  Soda Steve's has such a charming and fun atmosphere, but the best part is the food.  I'm pretty sure we've sampled almost everything on the menu...you cannot go wrong.  My boys won't drink a smoothie anywhere else!

"Soda Steve has the best handmade root beer on this planet! It is so yummy, I can't get enough. It reminds me of the sodas at the local soda fountains in small town America, from my childhood. I enjoyed it soo much, we visited every day, while staying at Greenleaf State Park. They even have free wi-fi, which is a miracle in the Oklahoma Hills. Laura and Chelsea greeted us every day with a smile and cheery disposition. I give it a 5Star on our eating experience rating."

Steve, we have enjoyed lunch and dinner at Soda Steve’s the last couple of weekends and I just want you to know how much we have enjoyed it.  The young people you have working there are doing a fabulous job and the food is excellent.  I think we may have brought in some new customers and they really raved about the food too.  We will hate to see you close down in November but will be looking forward to your re-opening in the spring.  I hope you’ve had a successful year.  Best wishes.

"Great food and friendly service even under great stress. (Fall Festival). The young man behind the counter and the young man in the back greeted us with great smiles when not given the same. Appreciate this very much."

"Steve, yeh, the root beer is exceptional, and everything else, but the thing we couldn’t get over is the FLAVOR of a plain ‘ol Hamburger. I don’t know what you season those patties with, but keep it up. Thanks"

"Had a great time on our 6th year to come to Fin & Feather. Soda Steves was a nice surprise. The food was great! I would highly recommend the dessert nachos. What a treat..Can't wait until next years WCC retreat. By the way, the smoothies are awesome as well. See you next year."

"We had been watching Soda Steve's construction in anticipation of its opening. We are so glad you are up and running. Some of the family's favorites are the Chicken Breast Sandwich, the Hamburger and THE ONION RINGS. WOW. Our 90 year old parents come in and they help them in, get them seated and bring the food to them. You couldn't ask for anything better."

"The hamburgers and cheese fries are great. We just bought a place over at Stone and we are wondering what we are going to do when we come down for weekends when you are closed. We like the atmosphere; it would be fun to have a band playing on weekends. We like to have some sort of activity going. It is very quiet. We wished we would have been down threw the summer. Glad you are there. We tell everyone that we are headed to our trailer and Soda Steve’s. We drive from Meeker, OK; See Ya this week-end."

Diana Kinnamon, Meeker, OK
"We absolutely loved the homemade root beer and I guess our group of 6 ladies ordered about everything you had on the menu. The hamburgers were so good and cooked just right. Two of our ladies shared the nachos and had more than they could eat. We had 2 great suppers (12 entrees) with you and several snacks. The NEW location was great and I especially liked the fact that I could “drive” my little scooter inside and not have to leave it outside unattended. You did a great job with your new location and especially the quality of the food. Thanks for being there for us. See you next year."

My wife & I have a place at Strayhorn Landing.  We love Soda Steve’s and we think the menu is great.  Thanks for opening the new location.  We really enjoy eating out on the patio.

Just thought I would send you a note. We bought a place next to Fin & Feather late in the summer and have really had a great time since. Our favorite thing is to drive the golf cart over to Soda Steve’s and eat some really great food. We live in Oklahoma City so your e-mails are fun to get and we always look forward to coming up now in the fall. We have eaten at your restaurant countless times and the friendly atmosphere and great food have been consistent each and every time we visit. Sometimes we need to hear how people feel about what we are doing so I thought I would send this to let you know. My family looks forward to many years of memories at the lake and you guys are already helping us out in that category. Thanks again for running a first class operation,

Chris Crosbie and family

We were at Fin & Feather in September for our Women’s Retreat & had lunch at Soda Steve’s.  The food was wonderful but dessert was even better!  The dessert nachos were incredible!  The next day we came back for Cherry Limeades ~ best I’ve ever had!

 Soda Steve's, WOW!!!  Food, AWESOME!!! New building, GREAT!!!  I was with Soda Steve on a mission trip in Costa Rica when he birthed.  The idea that has come to reality! We ate our meals there at Soda Brenda's, where the food was good and the atmosphere was very family like. Soda Steve has captured the same. Try it, You'll like it!!

“Can I just say CHEESE FRIES?!”  They are the best!  You can eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Hot or cold, it don’t matter.  They are great ANYTIME of the day! As my husband would say, “They Rock!”  We will definitely keep coming back, and the cheese fries are one of the main reasons!  Thanks to the awesome kitchen staff at the good old Verandah.”

“Cheese fries are awesome!  We drove 3 hours just to get them (seriously).”
Kristin, Ada, OK
“My husband and I came to Fin and Feather on our honeymoon twenty-one years ago.  We haven’t missed a summer since.  We also come to Fall Festival, Thanksgiving, and Easter weekend.  Fin and Feather is a safe and fun place with tons of activities for the entire family.
The family at Fin and Feather have become a part of my own family.  They are our friends.  We have watched their children grow up over the years, and they have watched ours as well.  I strongly recommend Fin and Feather as the perfect vacation spot for everyone.”
 Gwena, Harrah, OK

“My family loves the Fin’s breakfast.  We hardly miss a Saturday morning buffet.  But our most favorite place is the Verandah.  My kids live for the CHEESE FRIES.  One order of cheese fries feeds our whole family – crisp fries, several kinds of cheese and bacon with spicy ranch.  There is none better.” 

 Arnie, Gore, OK

“I work in the Gore area once a month, and I always stop and eat at Fin & Feather.  They make the best pork tenderloin sandwich in Oklahoma.  The waitresses brighten our day with their great hospitality.  I’ve known these ladies for 15 years, and they always treat me like family.  The manager and all the employees are always friendly.”
