Red brick steps, a flag on the porch, lace in the door glass. Downtown Muskogee, 1914.
The Matthew-Nelson home, built 1914 · TravelOKClimb the red brick steps of a 1914 house on South 7th. Inside it smells like butter and yeast, the clover rolls are still warm, and today's special comes with soup, a roll and dessert. Harmony House has been feeding Muskogee for more than 30 years.

Most places in town serve lunch. Not many bake the bread for it the same morning in a house that's more than 100 years old. Here's what an hour feels like.

The ovens start at 5:30 AM, so you'll smell cinnamon and butter before you reach the bakery case.
“The roll was soft and moist but crunchy on top.” · Foodeist review
Baked potato soup, a scoop of hot chicken salad, and a clover roll you pull apart while it's still warm.

An iced tea sweating in your hand on a hot Oklahoma afternoon. Sweet, unsweet or apricot mango, by the glass or by the gallon.

Ceiling fans, forks on plates, and a server who brings you a sample of both chicken salads when you can't pick.

Owner Mandy Scott calls the special of the day what makes Harmony House different. Each weekday gets its own plate, and on Friday that means King Ranch Chicken.
The case gets restocked every day. Cookies by the dozen, rolls by the pan, pies by the slice. Anything in it can be special-ordered with notice.


That's what Southern Living called theirs, as Harmony House tells it. Muskogee has also voted them Best Place for Lunch, Best Bakery and Best Cake.
Bread orders need 24–48 hours' notice.
Cookie trays and custom iced sugar cookies by the dozen.
Weddings, birthdays, Tuesdays. Pick a flavor, pick a buttercream, and they'll bake it for your day. These are the flavors they list. Ask about anything else.

Buttercreams include salted caramel, raspberry, pink champagne and cream cheese, with fillings like lemon curd and ganache. Call or email to set up a consultation for custom, wedding and celebration cakes.
Harmony House cooks and bakes inside the historic Matthew-Nelson home, built in 1914 in the heart of downtown. It's family-owned, and the recipes have been handed down. Owner Mandy Scott bought the business from the previous owner and kept nearly everything the way it was.
“I didn’t really change a whole lot, I added a few things to the menu. I’m like, if it’s not broken, then don’t fix it.”Mandy Scott, owner · Cherokee Phoenix, 2024
Cinnamon rolls are the best ever! Great service with a unique atmosphere. You have to check this place out!

Fortunately it was Friday and the special was King Ranch Chicken! We both had the delicious special which came with a warm wonderful home made clover roll…

We discussed not knowing which of the two chicken salads to choose from and they gave us samples of both to try to help us decide!

One of the best restaurants in Muskogee, maybe even Oklahoma. The food was amazing, atmosphere is great, and everyone was super nice, friendly, and professional!
