Rats.

[PrideTrombone]

It was probably ICE STORM APOCALYPSE 2007. :)

[OUDoc]

is GONE. totally demolished. what's the word??????
I figured it must have cut you off in your car.
Or VK drove by it. ;)

[yermom]

i just noticed the 7-11 at Main and Mercedes being gone yesterday...

[afs]

Bird. Bird is the word.

[royalfan5]

They might be replacing the old buildings. They level several McDonald's up here recently to replace them with Brand new outlets as part of an ongoing corporate initiative.

[TopDaugIn2000]

not due to the ice storm believe it or not. I actually noticed it being gone last weekend, they were tearing it down when I drove by.

[Rhino]

I don't know, but they better hurry up and finish building BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (http://www.bjsbrewhouse.com/) on the old Don Pablo's location so I can eat there.

Talk about an upgrade.

[TopDawg]

They're taking their sweet time, aren't they?

[SoonerBorn]

Word is that the McD's will be rebuilt - stronger, faster, better.

[TopDawg]

I can't wait to go Try They're McGriddles!

[yermom]

I don't know, but they better hurry up and finish building BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (http://www.bjsbrewhouse.com/) on the old Don Pablo's location so I can eat there.

Talk about an upgrade.

is that the same place that DC used to work at?

Talk about an upgrade.I love that place. I ate there for a first time in Phoenix.

[1stTimeCaller]

If they are tearing it down in order to build a new one, they only have something like 90 days total to get the demo done and a new one open for business.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Rats.Big f'n rats, with peckers 3 feet long!

BJ's is not that great. it's the same overpriced crap at minimum called pizza or lamentable/contemptible "italian food" instead of "Mexican".

screw the ed noble parkway.

What the hell? I live in Oklahoma for 25 years and they get all the good places when I leave. BJ's are awesome (I am talking about the resteraunt, but the other ones are good too!:D ) They have several of them down here.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

screw the ed noble parkway.Anyplace with their own beer is a good place in my book.

[jk the sooner fan]

bj's is ok, not great, but not bad either

[King Crimson]

i just noticed the 7-11 at Main and Mercedes being gone yesterday...

you non townies ....that place had street cred with Norman West mid-high students......

prophet? sooneron?

[King Crimson]

bj's is ok, not great, but not bad either

4 or 5 dif places in Norman have a better burger and fries than BJ's.

[Dio]

They got my order wrong one too many times, so I levelled the place.

[jk the sooner fan]

and a note to you folks up in sooner land......the whorn loving dallas crew has had lunch at BJ's......so ....just as a PSA.....

[TopDaugIn2000]

great, another overpriced burger barn

[Harry Beanbag]

I think BJs is fine. Sure it's not the greatest food I've ever eaten, but does it have to be in order to be allowed to exist? The beer can be very good, but seems to be a little inconsistent.

[jk the sooner fan]

like i said, its not a bad place to eat, its just not a great one......

[Harry Beanbag]

great, another overpriced burger barn

They do have burgers, but their menu is pretty huge.

[SicEmBaylor]

Is this the BJ's of the Tahlequah variety?

[Rhino]

Like I said, 1000 times better than what was there before.

They're also opening up one near Quail Springs.

Is this the BJ's of the Tahlequah variety? No.

[Soonerus]

I am still in mourning over the loss of the 7-11...

[John Kochtoston]

Wonder how Oklahoma's ultra-modern liquor laws will affect the beer.

[birddog]

here's the beef. they're going to a starbucks-type format.

[Rhino]

Wonder how Oklahoma's ultra-modern liquor laws will affect the beer. It shouldn't.

[jk the sooner fan]

starbucks format? does that mean they'll have a bunch of emo hippy kids working there?

[birddog]

yep, that's what their aiming for. alot of 'em will have internet access.

[Boarder]

Like what? (serious question, I have never eaten there and am trying to get an idea)

[TopDawg]

My top 5 burgers in Norman come from (in no particular order):

Sooner Dairy Lunch
Boomerang
Crossroads (in the student union)
Red Horse Grill
Braums/Sonic

I hear Charleston's has a great burger, but I just can't talk myself into getting a burger when I'm there.

[Boarder]

That's 6. shakes head

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I don't know how good the food at BJ's is under normal circumstances. I ate there at about midnight on New Year's Eve in Phoenix and hadn't eaten anything in about 12 hrs so I was really hungry. The pizza I ate hit the spot and the beer was tasty.

Now the whorn lovin Dallas lunch crew can eat there on gameday to make you know who quit harassing them.

[TopDawg]

That's 6. shakes head

It's a tie for 5th. I can't help it that teams 5 and 6 tied without a tiebreaker.

[Boarder]

Braum's should have gone for two.

[oklaclarinet]

When I first saw the title of the thread, it reminded me of a funny incident that happened to me at that McDonald's. A few years ago, when the McDonald's in the area had OU and OSU snowmen Christmas ornaments, I went by to pick up an OU one for myself. I was also needing a gag gift for a Christmas party, so I thought I would get an OSU one as well. When I went to the counter to ask for one of each, they said that they didn't have any OSU ornaments. Since I still needed a dirty Santa gift, I said that I would just take two OU ornaments instead. For some reason, they decided just to give me the two OU ornaments for free.

[SicEmBaylor]

The answer is.......rats.

only in Poteau...........

[Soonrboy]

Service station makes gut burgers.

[GottaHavePride]

Bird. Bird is the word.

You got it, dude. Mum is the word. Actually, bird. Bird is the word. The bird says "mum".

Oh, and to add to TopDawg's list, I've heard the Service Station, near McFarlin, makes a damn god burger.

Oh, another thing: the "Wonderful Chinese Restaurant" over on East Alameda that went belly up and became a crappy sushi/asian place is now a Goldie's.

if you like WAY overdone crunchy tasteless burgers, then yes, they do.

[oklaclarinet]

No, this event was at the first referenced McDonald's in Norman. Back when I was in school at OU. I haven't lived in Poteau long enough for any interesting McDonald's stories here.

[Kels]

No way! Service Station rocks!

Try going before or after the lunch crowd . . .

[soonerboomer93]

I thought it was Word Up?

oh, my bad. I just have to make a jab at poteau folks whenever possible. :texan:

I've only been there for dinner. never impressed. a good friend of mine LOVES that place, so we got there on occasion.

[Harry Beanbag]

It's the code word. No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heard.

[sooneron]

you non townies ....that place had street cred with Norman West mid-high students......

prophet? sooneron?
Mmmmm, Robotron...

[sooneron]

Yes, first you ate at Sooner Dairy for about 3.25 and then proceeded to 7-11 for some fine dessert and a quick game.

aw hell yeah.

same dude that owned/worked at SDL still owns/works there.

go there next time you are in Norman, and you'll know exactly the dude i'm talking about.

[sooneron]

Yep, I take the wife there often when we are in town. I believe he still has the stache and bit more poundage.

[King Crimson]

yeah, that's right. props on the nino/nina. my vote for the name would have been Harley Davidson Holt. or Catfish. maybe Gator.

Gator Holt. Catfish Holt.

[TopDawg]

I forgot about Service Station. I remember liking their burger last time I had it, but that was a while ago. It's hard for me to not get their Grand Prix when I go there...it's one of my 3 favorite sandwiches in Norman, right up there with the Green Turkey from BisonWitches and the club at McAlister's with the cranberry.

[yermom]

mmm...Flight Fuel Ortega...

I've never heard of anyone taking communion in the form of a burger. What denomination is that?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

I don't know, but they better hurry up and finish building BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (http://www.bjsbrewhouse.com/) on the old Don Pablo's location so I can eat there.

Eh, the food is not so good. The beer is good, especially if you get it to go in a growler. Puke's Pilsner is the best. They never ever seem to have the cask conditioned brew they are supposed to have. The have a hand pump and all (to draw from the cask conditioned said adult beverage), but it is never used...Liars!!!

[Rhino]

The pizza is good. The dessert is good. The beer is good.

What more do you need?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Desert>pizza, beer>desert

[Partial Qualifier]

bird is the new mum.

They're doing the same thing to the McD's in Mustang.

When I worked in England, we supplied AC units to the new McD's. They were all pre-fab and were put up in 30-40 days. A couple of them were done inside of 3 weeks, so 90 days shouldn't be that big of deal for them.

[sooneron]

Is there a way to file an injunction to ensure that a new McD's is NOT built?
