My girlfriend and I visited Rally for Valentines Day dinner. They had a set menu specifically for the evening with the perfect mix of food to accommodate any diner. I had the hot-honey pork belly, grilled hangar steak and ended it off with the apple cobbler and homemade vanilla ice cream. It was unbelievably good! She had the blackened diver scallop and shrimp, the pork cutlets, and the lemon-raspberry napoleon to follow. Our waitress, I believe her name was Joella (though I may be remembering wrong), was superb. She was quick, attentive, and very nice. She complemented both of our outfits and was very friendly. Traveling an hour and a half from Stillwater for dinner, I was, admittedly, a little nervous. However, when we walked into the restaurant, all my nerves subsided. We were greeted with fast service and live saxophone that was just loud enough to be enjoyable while not dominating the room. All in all, I have no complaints about this restaurant. Truly a class-act and a place to try if you're in the area. It was $75 a person for this Valentines event, which was very affordable compared to some other similar events. I would highly recommend Rally Kitchen & Bar for your next date night- even if you have to drive an hour and a half like us!

very nicely appointed place to eat only moderate noise , easy to convers food was great! the shrimp and scallops could have been a little bit bigger will plan on eating there again definitely!

There was supposed to be a Valentines menu and there wasnt. The food was bland and had no flavor.
McKenzie
The drinks were great! Boyfriend got the steak and he thought it was the best steak he's had, I had chefs creation pasta which turned out to be spaghetti and meatballs (which I usually don't like) but it was outstanding! Everything had great flavor and the flan was delicious! Will definitely come again

This was supposed to be a special 3 course Valentine Dinner meal. I had a reservation for a week. Upon arrival we were met with we're sorry but we're not able to serve you the Special dinner. You can pick 3 things from our regular menu. Which none of the meal options we were supposed to have were on the regular menu. No one called and told us this beforehand, there was several other couples that were there and you could see they were as surprised as we were but it was to late to get reservations any where else. The waiter and waitresses were poorly dressed for such a nice place, holes in jeans , shirts untucked. Nothing really matching. This was just really poor management and everyone that had reservations for the special dinner should have been called and notified beforehand.

Third visit to Rally, very much enjoy the food, drinks, and look/feel of the restaurant. AND especially the Boomer Sauce!

Made reservations on New Year's Eve place wasn't really packed beautiful hotel decorated nice for Christmas. Was seated immediately but waited about fifteen minutes before placing our drink orders. We ordered appetizers and the bread came out immediately. I watched as our appetizers set in the cue for 25 minutes before another sever brought them to our table. Our server was not very attentive and our cups wasn't filled and as soon as we got our apps our main course was ready. The food was amazing I ordered the ribeye and it was tender. And cooked to perfection. Just next time I hope to have a better experience with a different server because he wasn't that great
Ryan
It great food and service and on the second floor a really nice bar area with fun free blackjack tables and big TVs
Jude
The food was good but not great. It's also on the pricey side for what you get. The service was slow it took more than 30 minutes to get a beer and a glass of wine.

Absolutely—here's the updated review with the salmon salad included seamlessly: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Dining Experience at Rally Kitchen Rally Kitchen in Norman truly delivers a standout dining experience. From the moment our food arrived, it was clear that every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. We started with the artichoke spinach dip, which was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned—easily one of the best appetizers we've had in town. The tomato bisque soup was smooth, comforting, and incredibly flavorful, striking the perfect balance between savory and fresh. The pasta was cooked to perfection and tasted fresh and elevated, with every bite feeling both satisfying and refined. The salmon salad was another highlight—fresh, beautifully prepared, and topped with perfectly cooked salmon that added both flavor and balance to the dish. To top it all off, the espresso martini was exceptional—smooth, well-balanced, and the ideal finish to an already fantastic meal. Rally Kitchen offers delicious food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back again. Whether you're out for a casual dinner or a special night out, this spot is a must-visit in Norman. Highly recommend! Want a slightly shorter version or one optimized for Google reviews?
Delicious food!! Beautiful atmosphere! Service was ok, but the server was not friendly. Food portions were a little small for the price but very tasty. We'll return to try dinner!

It was okay. Oddly quiet in the restaurant so it feels like you need to be quiet. The food was mid at best. The charcuterie board- 2/5. uninspired, basic cheeses and meats you can find at walmart. nothing special at all. deviled eggs- 3.5/5 good for a deviled egg. the filling had a very nice whipped texture and had good flavor. Chicken fried chicken- 4/5 good. the gravy had flavor, the breading was seasoed and adequately salted. Mac and Cheese- 4/5 odd noodles, but had a good amount of cheese. Overall, i feel like Rally is not worth the price, for average quality and tasting food.

Let me start with we showed up about 5 minutes early for our reservation that had been booked for over 3 months! yes it was game day in Norman but that is not my job to manage your restaurant and tell a group that has too many people for their reservation that you cannot accommodate them. I asked how long ago they were sat in the room and the hostess said just about 15 minutes and no, they had not ordered yet. That is the manager's job and HE FAILED MISERABLY! The manager refused to make them leave. I was so disappointed in the manager on Saturday evening. He chose to give my reservation for the private dining room away to another party and change my seating to a large table in the main dining room. We had planned to watch the football game on the TV in the private room and that was not an option in the main dining room. When the hostess told me the room wasn't available, I showed her my reservation online and asked to speak with the manager. His first words were “I understand we have a problem.” NO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM YOU DO! He couldn't even admit he messed up without taking ownership. Samantha is supposed the manager in training about to take over here in the next day or so and she was so kind. It took me a good 30 minutes to get over being so angry, mostly because the table they seated us at was DIRECTLY OUTSIDE MY PRIVATE ROOM!!! I got to watch the party that clearly greased some palms to get my room. Yes, they had the TV on football. Our waitress was perfect and provided great service. The restaurant was a zoo! Another reason we wanted the private room!!! The Marriott & Rally's can & should do better.

Service was excellent as were the drinks! Food was great and reasonably priced. It was loud with the live music but it may have been where we were seated.

Food was awesome! Service as always was perfect! Staff is friendly and energetic- makes you feel like home
