Here's the Ox Yoke Inn, located in Amana, IA. The Ox Yoke is home to some great steaks. 10-08

UPDATE 12/08 : The Ox Yoke Inn sign was removed in September 2008 to comply with an Amana Colonies sign ordinance adopted in 1996 which forbids neon signs. The Ox Yoke Inn opened in 1940 and then moved to the current site of the restaurant in 1950, a circa 1856 building. The sign dates back to around 1950. 12-08

Check out the marquee for the Del Rancho in Shawnee, OK. The sign makes you want to pull off the highway and grab a steak sandwich.

Nelson's Buffeteria is a well known downtown Tulsa landmark for over 75 years. Or at least it was. Nelson's closed in 2004 to the chagrin of its buffeteria fans.

Fortunately in this case, there is a happy ending after all. According to this Tulsa World article, the same chef and food that was served at Nelson's Buffeteria will be served at Nelson's Ranch House at the former location of Debbie's Ranch House on E Third St. The original Nelson's Buffeteria was founded in 1929 and was known for its down-home cooking such as chicken fried steak. 11-10
