Place to eat in OKC

[CenTech]

Hi everyone,

My wife and I (both Texas Tech students) are visiting some family in Eureka Springs, Arkansas for spring break. Our route has us going through Oklahoma City. My brother, who is a big Sooner fan, told me the best place to eat in OKC was the Daiquiri Zone. I was just wondering if there were any other suggestions. Neither of us like seafood, but besides that, we're pretty much up for anything unique to OKC.

[soonerbrat]

down in bricktown near the Daiquiri Zone, there are probably 20 or more restaurants. It depends on what kind of food you want.

[Hatfield]

yeah, tell us what type of food you want and we can help you out

[sooneron]

Daquiri Zone?
Unfortunately, you don't like seafood or I'd rec Sushi Neko

Earl's Rib Palace

[soonerbrat]

I don't know why someone thought Daiquiri Zone was the best place to eat..unless they meant there's never a wait there

there's BBQ, Mexican, Burgers, Steaks, Hooters...

[CenTech]

Let's see.

How about a good place for a chicken fried steak?

And God Bless Hooters, but we've got one of those here in Lubbock, and I've been to half a dozen locations across Texas.

Padthai

EDIT: nm, not CFS

[IB4OU2]

When you get to Eureka Springs go to the Autumn Breeze, pricey but really good.

Bricktown Brewery has good chicken fried steak

[CenTech]

It is funny you'd suggest that. I live within walking distance of a Pad Thai place here in Lubbock.

cuz it never get's old!

[CenTech]

So it sounds like this Bricktown place is the place to go?

[soonerbrat]

Bricktown is the name of the area...Bricktown Brewery is the name of the restuarant that has good chicken fried steak..it's right next to daiquiri zone. daiquiri zone is kinda neat, really..flat screen tv's at every table. good if you want to watch march madness. they also have some recliners in the bar area where you can watch the big screen tv's.

Padthai is the name of the place, i haven't tried the one in downtown though

[Jimminy Crimson]

If you want a good chicken fried steak, Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill is the place.

You're welcome.

they don't open til 4 and if you go there, be sure to get there right at 4 to avoid waiting an hour.

They're now open for lunch on Friday & Saturday at 11. :texan:

Chicken fried Steak - Ann's Chicken Fry on NW Expressway

I suggest Pearl's on 63rd - Andouille Chicken Dinner

[soonerbrat]

wow, news to me :)

i'm thinking they probably don't want to venture that far away from I-40

bricktown is ideal.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Daiquiri Zone SUCKS. If you are going to Bricktown, I second the Brewery recommendation.

[soonerbrat]

i wouldn't say daiquiri zone SUCKS...but they are a bit pricey for what they offer.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Tell that to my pork chop that was as thick as a piece of paper.

[mdklatt]

It is funny you'd suggest that. I live within walking distance of a Pad Thai place here in Lubbock.

Wow. What are the odds that there's more than one Thai restaurant named Pad Thai? :D

[mdklatt]

I'll second (or third or whatever) the Bricktown recommendation. You'll be able to find a restaurant that has whatever you're in the mood for, and you'll be driving by it anyway.

[CenTech]

Yeah, I suppose that's not such a big coincidence. I've never had thai food, and don't particularly care to start trying it now.

And actually, we'll becoming through on 44. We're leaving from my in-laws place in Abilene.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

You could go to Cattlemens

[mdklatt]

And actually, we'll becoming through on 44. We're leaving from my in-laws place in Abilene.

But you're taking I-40 to Arkansas, aren't you? Take I-44 to I-40. Even if you're going through Tulsa it's not any farther to take I-40 past downtown/Bricktown instead of staying on I-44.

[soonerbrat]

well...from 44 you can take 40, stop in bricktown, and then get back on 44 that way

if you want an area rich in restaurants and variety, that's what i recommend plus bricktown is pretty cool..neat stuff to see there.

[soonerbrat]

oh yeah...you gotta get onto I-40 to get to arkansas anyway.

[CenTech]

I'm not really all that familiar with Oklahoma. I just know Mapquest puts us on 44 'til up around Tulsa. I imagine we'll jump over to I 40 in OKC though, and go to this Bricktown area. Will we see it from the highway?

yes..you will see it from the highway. you will definitely see Toby Keith's and a big movie theater. just follow the directions

If you know what you're looking for. It's not like there's a big flashing sign or something. It's easy to find, though; it's adjacent to the freeway.

[CenTech]

nm fixed it.

Thanks for all the info. We appreciate it.

[soonerbrat]

there are highway signs that say "bricktown" i think

[soonerbrat]

anyway..if you get off in bricktown, all you gotta do is get back on I-40 and go east and then go N on 35 and that will take you back to 44.

[mdklatt]

I go to Dallas more than I go to Oklahoma City, so I have no idea.

[Norm In Norman]

For CFS, i would recommend Kendall's. It's in Purcell now, but they have the best bar none.

I guess Bricktown Brewery has good food if you are drunk enough.

[Norm In Norman]

You could go to Cattlemens
There we go!

[Jimminy Crimson]

Use the Lincoln exit. Take a RIGHT at the stopsign off the exit ramp, take a LEFT on Reno just past the railroad crossing and that'll put you where you need to be.

[Jimminy Crimson]

For CFS, i would recommend Kendall's. It's in Purcell now, but they have the best bar none.

Toby's CFS reminds me of Kendall's.

So they finally did open back up in Purcell? I'll have to go get me some soon. :texan:

[critical_phil]

...I just know Mapquest puts us on 44 'til up around Tulsa....


Google Maps is the best.......

[CenTech]

True that,

Double True!

[critical_phil]

that was a ****ing softball people.



spek, n00b.......

[Norm In Norman]

Toby's CFS reminds me of Kendall's.

I don't know where in Purcell, but they did re-open to a bigger place. Evidently the rent was more in Norman than in Purcell. Go figure.

Of course, i can't see how he could make more money in Purcell.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Is that the place that has CFS so big it hangs off the plate?

[Jimminy Crimson]

Is that the place that has CFS so big it hangs off the plate?

Yes. Your plate be havin' meat lips :texan:

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Annnnd once again...Jimminy leads us to pron...

[C&CDean]

Kendall's is behind that hotel just off I-35. Get off at the McDonald's exit (91) and go just past the Ace Hardware and you'll see it on the right (SE side of road).

They're also reopening back in their original location in Noble. They're remodeling the place and will open soon.

They have the best CFS, and hamburgers and onion rings around.

[Sooner_Bob]

You people are makin' me hungry.
