Homestead
History of Homestead
In 1953 Oliver Kinzie bought a restaurant on a whim. He was the owner operator of Kinzie’s Dairy in Cushing Oklahoma. While delivering his soft serve ice cream mix the owner of the Dairy Hut in Cushing said “Why don’t you buy this place.” Oliver went home and discussed it with his wife Phyllis and the rest is history. Oliver Kinzie had just entered into the restaurant business.
The Dairy hut has changed throughout the years it is now named the “Homestead”. After several years under his belt in the restaurant business and three dairy huts Oliver and Phyllis were ready to open another restaurant they would call “Steer Inn”. In 1969 Steer Inn was born offering a sit-down dining room with telephones at tables for ordering your meal.
Steer Inn is still going strong today with the original location in Cushing and a location in Mannford OK on Lake Keystone. Oliver’s family still operate them today with the 2 nd and 3 rd generation at the helm. We pride ourselves is preparing our food with quality ingredients and customer service we are known for.
Whether you enjoy our food at the restaurant, breakfast at the Homestead, take-out or at a catered event we are thankful for your patronage and look forward to serving you for many more years to come.
