Road Trip from Dallas to McAlester OK

[StacyM]

We are going to visit my folks in southeastern Oklahoma, I've never been there. Flying into DFW, then driving up I-75 tp McAlester. Any suggestions for somewhere special to eat along the way? The day of travel happens to be my husbands birthday.

Also any suggestions for bbq in Dallas for when we return?

I used to make that drive every week & the answer unfortunately is: no. The only place even remotely worthy is in Krebbs (next to Mcalester). Either of the 2 Italian joints in Krebbs are decent. The Isle has a good wine selection (I ordered a Rombauer Cab for approx $45)!
