The Pioneer Woman Mercantile
The best ice cream in Northern Oklahoma. Named after Ree’s basset hound, Charlie.
Great dessert after having pizza at P-Town Pizza upstairs!
P-Town Pizza is upstairs over Charlie’s ice cream. The P stands for Pawhuska or the Pioneer Woman, I’m not sure which. But I do know, it’s the best pizza in Northern Oklahoma! My favorite is the Fig and Prosciutto! Plus you must try the Not Knots! Yu...

Eskimo Joe’s has been around since 1975. Stillwater is a college town and Eskimo Joe’s fits in perfect. The food is amazing. I pick Eskimo Joes for a great meal out often! My uncle did lots of woodworking for the owners in the restaurant.
