About O Grizzly's Bar & Bistro

O Grizzly's Bar & Bistro offers a welcoming atmosphere with good food and friendly service. The restaurant features a big bar, tables, and some high top tables, with no booths. The OU theme is visible on the walls, reflecting its close proximity to the OU campus, though it’s unclear if the theme is just for show or part of the community. Inside, the service can be slow, but the staff is friendly. The outside seating area is available but may not be as comfortable.

The menu includes popular items like the Tandoor wings, which receive high praise, and the Barbacoa quesadilla and Cuban sandwich. Customers love the blooming onion, describing it as perfection, with light, flavorful batter and a tasty dip. The lunch menu offers big portions, such as the chicken Caesar wrap, which is hearty but lacks flavor. The house salad is typical, with bottled dressing.

The bar food quality remains outstanding, with several dishes like the Pub Burger, French Dip, Nashville Chicken Sandwich, Fried Cauliflower wings, and Hummus receiving excellent reviews. The Lamb Burger, however, was not well-liked, but the attentive manager offered to remove it from the bill and provided a coupon, showing impressive service. Guests appreciate the good food overall, especially the beer cheese, though many agree that soft pretzels would be a great addition to complement it. The bathrooms are clean and single-stall, contributing to a comfortable experience. Despite some slow service and mixed reviews on certain items, O Grizzly's Bar & Bistro is highly recommended for those seeking a solid dining experience in the area.
