Seven Local Dining Places Around the Ten District
It's a weeknight in downtown Jenks. The kids want pizza, while someone else wants a sit-down dinner. These seven local dining places make the choice easier by grouping options around Main Street, the Riverwalk, and the kind of meal you have in mind.
On Main Street, The Ten District puts Italian dishes, steak dinners, and casual Mexican meals along your downtown route. The Riverwalk adds pizza and cantina options. Waterfront Grill and Louie's suit mixed groups and family dinners. Choose by the visit you want, not by a ranking: a relaxed meal, a quick pizza stop, or dinner with a group each calls for a different table.
For a wider neighborhood view, visit The Ten District hub. The restaurant menus and listings linked below describe what to expect, but they can't confirm tonight's availability. Hours, prices, menus, and deals change, so check details that affect your plans before you head out.

1. Bella Roma
On the Main Street stretch, Bella Roma suits a meal where the table time is part of the plan. The Italian menu features handmade pasta and classic favorites, with wine and cocktails available. It works for lunch with a friend, a date night, or a small celebration. Expect a sit-down meal, not a quick counter-service stop.
The Bella Roma's restaurant website lists the restaurant at 107 E. Main St., with lunch and dinner menus and reservation information. It also lists Sunday closure and a break between lunch and evening service. Check the schedule before building a downtown afternoon around a meal, since the gap rules out continuous afternoon dining.
When does Bella Roma make sense?
Choose Bella Roma when you want Italian food and time to enjoy the meal. If the group needs a quick dinner, a pizza pickup may fit better. For a planned Main Street lunch or evening out, review the menu and make a reservation if needed.
Best fit: A Main Street lunch, Italian dinner, or small occasion.
Main advantage: The website lets you check menus and reservation options before heading downtown.
Trade-off: Plan around the service schedule, especially between lunch and dinner.
For a celebration, consult the Jenks private-dining guide, then contact Bella Roma to confirm what it can arrange for your group. A private-event inquiry does not confirm a room, menu, or booking, so settle those details before inviting guests.
2. City Hall Steak & Cocktails
On Main Street near Second Street, City Hall Steak & Cocktails suits an evening when the steakhouse setting is part of the plan. The menu centers on prime steaks cooked over live fire, with seafood, wine, and cocktails for a longer dinner.
The City Hall menu and booking website lists hand-cut steaks, a 44-ounce tomahawk, and private-dining options. It's a clear fit for an anniversary, business dinner, or celebration, though the menu and price category make it a more considered choice than a quick family meal.
The OpenTable listing gives the address as 123 E. Main Street and lists a $50-or-more-per-person price category. Dinner hours are 4–9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 4–10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The listing also notes daily happy hour 4–6 p.m. and valet parking.
Plan the occasion first: Reserve a table, check the current menu, and agree on the spending level before you go.
Private rooms can suit a business dinner or celebration, but contact the restaurant to confirm availability and arrangements. A regular reservation does not guarantee a private event setup.
City Hall is for dinner, not a late-night meal after everything else. If you're making an evening of downtown, check this guide to things to do late at night in Jenks and plan around the restaurant's listed hours.
3. Andolini's Pizzeria
Along the Riverwalk, Andolini's Pizzeria suits a group that wants to share dinner rather than order a separate entrée for everyone. Start with the pies, then add other dishes for anyone who wants a different option.
The Andolini's Jenks menu and ordering page lists specialty pizzas, Italian dishes, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. It also features house-made fresh mozzarella on select pizzas, Roman-style square pizza, take-and-bake kits, and online ordering for the Jenks location.
The menu gives a group some room to mix and match: some can share a pizza while others choose a salad or sandwich. Specialty pies may raise the bill, so look over the full order before placing it.
How should you order for a group?
Start with preferences: Agree on toppings and dietary needs before choosing a shared order.
Check availability: Ask the restaurant whether a specialty pie, such as the Roman Soho Pep Square, is currently available before making it the center of your order.
Choose the right format: Dine in as part of a Riverwalk outing, order ahead for pickup, or get a take-and-bake kit for dinner at home.
For dietary questions, consult this guide to local restaurants with gluten-free options, then confirm details with restaurant staff. An ingredient substitution and an allergy-safe preparation process aren't the same thing.
Sharing works best when the group can agree on toppings. If everyone wants a different specialty pie, compare the complete order and cost before checkout.
4. Waterfront Grill
Waterfront Grill suits a group whose plans call for a Riverwalk-area meal and whose tastes do not fit one cuisine. The room and menu offer a sit-down option near the aquarium, though this is a detour from a Main Street walk.
Find it at 500 Riverwalk Terrace, Suite 100, Jenks, OK 74037. The Waterfront Grill website lists lunch service and weekend hours, plus catering. Check the site or call before heading over, since hours can change. The menu spans seafood, steaks, sushi, pasta, salads, and familiar comfort dishes, so different appetites can share a table without everyone ordering the same kind of meal.
There is a trade-off: a broad menu can make decisions slower, and steak or seafood may cost more than a simpler lunch. Check current menu prices before you go; don't assume a varied menu means every choice fits the same budget.
For a meal that includes patio seating, consult the Jenks outdoor-dining guide, then confirm seating with the restaurant. Outdoor availability depends on current arrangements, so avoid making a specific table the condition for the outing.
Choose Waterfront Grill when you want a full-service meal close to the Riverwalk, rather than a stop along Main Street. It works for a mixed-preference group, but the location and potentially higher entrée prices are worth factoring into the plan.
5. Los Cabos Mexican Grill & Cantina
At the Riverwalk, Los Cabos suits a meal before or after a stroll. The casual grill-and-cantina setting works for families and groups who want to sit down together without turning dinner into a formal occasion. It's a different stop from the downtown Main Street stretch, so choose it when the Riverwalk is already part of your plans.
The Los Cabos website lists the Jenks location at 300 Riverwalk Terrace, Suite 100, along with online ordering and catering. It also lists Friday and Saturday service until 11 p.m. That gives you a later weekend option, but confirm kitchen hours before arriving close to closing time.
For a daytime visit, compare options in this Jenks lunch-specials guide. Check with the restaurant before relying on any listed promotion, since prices and offers can change.
If you're deciding between eating in and taking food home, online ordering gives you another route. For a larger group, call ahead to ask about seating. Check current prices and ask staff about ingredients or substitutions if someone has dietary needs.
Weekend evenings can bring a wait. Leave some flexibility in your schedule, and call about current conditions if your group can't wait for a table. Los Cabos fits a Riverwalk outing; a Main Street restaurant makes more sense when you want to stay near downtown shops.
6. Campesinos Mexican Restaurant
Campesinos is the straightforward Main Street alternative for a casual Mexican meal. It fits the evening when nobody wants a steakhouse reservation or a longer outing, just somewhere to sit down and eat.
The Campesinos Mexican Restaurant website lists its address as 393 E. Main St., with lunch and dinner service, online ordering, and operation seven days a week. Its downtown location makes it a useful option to consider while you're already on Main Street.
The limitation is the amount of detail available online about its specialties. Rather than arrive expecting a particular signature dish, check the current menu or ask the restaurant what's available.
Is it a better fit than a Riverwalk dinner?
That depends on where you want to spend the rest of your visit. Campesinos makes sense when you're keeping the outing downtown and want Mexican fare without relocating your plans around the river.
For an easy sit-down meal: Confirm the current service hours and menu, then keep the evening simple.
For a quick family dinner: Online ordering gives you another option when sitting down isn't practical.
For specific dietary needs: Ask about ingredients and preparation directly instead of making assumptions from a dish's name.
Don't read “casual” as a promise about prices, wait times, or portion sizes. Those details need a current menu or a conversation with staff.
Among these local dining places, Campesinos serves a clear purpose: an unfussy downtown meal, with ordering flexibility when your plans change.
7. Louie's Grill & Bar
Sometimes the deciding factor is finding a menu everyone will accept. Louie's Grill & Bar fits that kind of family dinner or casual group meal, with pizza, burgers, wings, sandwiches, and salads.
The Louie's Jenks location page lists online ordering, catering, family packs, daily hours of 11 a.m.–11 p.m., and a Wednesday kids-eat-free offer with an adult entrée purchase. Confirm the offer's current terms, including eligible meals and any restrictions, before counting it into your dinner budget.
Louie's is a casual bar-and-grill choice rather than a restaurant you'd select for a distinctive Italian or steakhouse meal. That trade-off can be an advantage when your group cares more about familiar options than making dinner a special event.
Family-budget note: Compare the complete order, including drinks, extras, and deal requirements. A promotion only helps if it fits what your household actually wants.
Family packs deserve a look when you're feeding people at home, while catering is a separate conversation for a gathering. Ask what each format includes instead of assuming it matches the dine-in menu.
For a downtown outing, check the location and your next stop before deciding where to park. Don't treat every Jenks restaurant as though it shares the same Main Street approach.
Louie's works best when menu familiarity and ordering options matter most. If you want the meal to feel more occasion-specific, Bella Roma or City Hall may be a better match.
How the seven local dining places compare by location, best use, and ordering
The table follows the downtown route, with Main Street stops alongside Riverwalk options. Use the “Best For” column to match the room and menu to your plans, then check ordering details with the restaurant.

Main Street gives you Bella Roma, City Hall, and Campesinos, with different menus for a planned dinner, a steak-focused evening, or a casual meal. Andolini's, Los Cabos, and Waterfront Grill suit Riverwalk outings; Louie's is another option for familiar group-friendly food. Confirm current hours and ordering options before you go, since the table reflects listed details rather than a guarantee of availability.
Pick Your Table Before You Park on Main
Decide what kind of meal you want before turning onto Main Street. City Hall suits a steak dinner; Bella Roma works for Italian lunch or dinner; Andolini's is an easy choice when the table wants to share pizza. For Mexican food, choose between Campesinos on Main and Los Cabos by the Riverwalk. Waterfront Grill and Louie's give groups broader menus when diners want different things.
The right fit depends on the outing. A family trying to eat without a long evening may need a different menu and pace than a couple planning an anniversary dinner. For a group, a range of dishes can matter more than a narrow favorite like pasta.
Parking is practical to sort out first. The City of Jenks downtown parking information lists free street parking and additional parking at Jenks Commons Park, 220 E. A Street. Check posted signs, particularly during special events, and don't assume parking rules are the same across Jenks.
Leave room for the rest of the outing
Check current hours, prices, and children's deals with the restaurant before you go. For City Hall or a private-dining plan, ask about availability and make a reservation. An inquiry alone does not hold a table.
After dinner, choose a walk that suits your location. A Riverwalk meal pairs naturally with a stroll nearby, while a downtown dinner leaves The Ten District's Main Street blocks close at hand. You don't need to fit both areas into one evening.
The Ten District also covers downtown shops and community happenings, so there may be nearby stops to add to the meal. Share which Main Street table your family returns to, along with the practical details you wish you'd known on your first visit.
