I have been to ransom steel many times, and was just there on Friday the 15th to watch a band and this is a top-notch place when you walk in it as if you were walking into big a log cabin that's the best way I can explain it.The atmosphere is very good very nice and cozy the bar and the walkway between it may seem small but there are tables to sit at and there is a second floor with a full bar that was in the not in use at the time as well.I've only marked the food at three stars because when I was there at the time there was always pizza and garlic knots, And I've never been there to have like a full food service meal or anything else like that So when I was there just the other night they had pizza and garlic nuts which were amazingStage is nice and thick enough for a good size band to perform on it from the two photos of the band that was playing yesterday was our friends from Broken Arrow there it has great sound resonance because of the wood.

Went to this place for the first time and loved it... super cool ambiance. Ate the best salad I've ever had!!! And it happened to be a Thursday, and open mic night, which was really fun. Several people got up and sang and played instruments. I'll be back for sure!

Sweet place, awesome venue, good food, great sound and lots of live music, and the staff is super cool too.
Was pretty empty when we went. Service was good and fast. Food is good but honestly, it is a little overpriced for what it is. $17 for a hamburger that's maybe a quarter pound and doesn't even come with fries is just a bit steep.

Food is good, menu variety is limited but the option there are good. No drink menus which is a little frustrating.

If you like Mac & Cheese, you will have a hard time making a selection. James was our server. He was above and beyond amazing. His passion for this place and his job make him the perfect person to be here. We can't thank him enough for the wonderful history lesson and exceptional service he provided us. He is a keeper.... Love the raw wood counters in the bathrooms. Love the rustic look, but modern feel. I am from Southern California and we don't have anything this cool.

Great pizzas! The shepard's pie and bread pudding last week was wonderful too. Our server was very helpful too.
