I love me some Legends, also the library is pretty darn good for some beers and stuffed pretzels.

I would give it to Legend's due to ability to stay open and keep em coming. I have heard that benvenuti's was pretty good. I may try it out next month. Went to Turqoise on campus and liked it. The place was DEAD.
Oh, and Diner get's another vote from me.

Pepe's is pretty good, and so is Cafe Plaid, but I would have to go with The Diner.

Your argument would carry more weight if you could spell Tarahumara's correctly. ;)
And I'd say it's the best Mexican restaurant in Norman. But best restaurant? I don't know.

it's a toss up with Padthai and Sweet Basil IMO
stir fry is better at Sweet Basil, the Tom Yum is too, i think, but the Pad Thai is better at Padthai. i think Padthai's lunch deal is better too

We ate there last weekend as Dean was just setting out the vittles and the kids were starving.
They have deep fried oreos on the menu.
They also have cold bottled beer.

I just don't get the appeal of that place. Is it because they call french fries "spark plugs"? :confused:
I've been dragged there several times, and the service isn't that great (ironically enough), the food is mediocre at best, and the prices are out of line for what you get. Bleh.
Let me also call out the Mont for being overrated. Yeah, I said it.

I thought their burgers were pretty good. I think I usually got the Harley Hawg burger. We always used coupons from that nifty campus coupon book thing that came out at the begining of each semester. Then again, this was 7 years ago.
Good call on the Mont.

they are modeled after an English Indian Food place, or something.

It's been around forever, yet always seems empty. I have heard the same thing. The guy that owns it is brothers with Patsy, the old head chef at Othello's and owner of Patsy's.

I've been to Toto's twice for lunch. Both times it was absolutely empty except for my party. Even so, it took us close to an hour to get our food. The service was...different. We asked for silverware, and the guy (the owner?) said, "Oh sure, it's right over there. Help yourselves." I definitely got the feeling that serving food to customers was not the primary business of that establishment, if you catch my drift.

Bangers and mash curry?
the menu is fairly diverse. they have burgers and fries, curry, kebabs, gyros, etc...
i mean it's like a place that would sell Indian food in England :D
