“Apparently when you follow BOTH very specific links to book a table for TJ Apres, you are not actually booking that, but they won't tell you that until the day of when you have 8 people expected to be there for your husband's birthday, and they are fully booked.“

“This place always seems too cool for our family to be in .. but the staff makes you feel like you belong. Upscale neighborhood bar with a great variety of small plates for sharing... Everything exceptional! Standards with eclectic twists... This place is a MUST. we come Everytime we get to OKC.“

“What an amazing restaurant. Our family stumbled upon it for lunch and we can’t wait to come back. Everything is freshly prepared. The flavors are perfect. We sampled six different dishes and are planning our next visit so we can try more. Authentic Mediterranean. Unlike anything else in OKC!!!!“

“Outstanding place, never had bad food or bad service in 13 years.“

“We took our out-of-town guests to Paseo Grill to celebrate their anniversary, and we all left feeling like we had been treated to a very special occasion. From being greeted by the maitre d' to receiving our complimentary anniversary desserts, every course of our dinner was a celebration. Our waiter was extremely helpful in offering menu and drink suggestions, even suggesting appetizers and soups as an entree. The food was served hot and delicious. Our only problem was getting too full to try any of the desserts on the menu. As usual, the ambiance of the Paseo Grill was superb, with its curtained booths offering privacy and helping with noise reduction. Paseo Grill is one of our pricier choices for dinners, but it is always worth its cost.“

“💯 Frida is my favorite restaurant in Oklahoma City. Their menu is always perfection. The seasonal drinks and dishes are expertly curated—they never miss! 🍷 The folks behind the bar make some of the best drinks in town and are experts at pairing just the right wine with your chosen entreé. 🍴The service at Frida is flawless. I’m always impressed with the staff and their professionalism. They are truly experts at their craft. 😋 It’s almost impossible to choose just one or two dishes to recommend, everything they serve is amazing! Check out Frida next time you’re near the Paseo Arts District in Oklahoma City.“

“Went with my bestie for breakfast after having this recommended to us at the Dr office (were not from around there). We were not disappointed, so glad we went. Wonderfully greeted and taken to our seats by a beautiful lady with the coolest glasses. 😎 Our waitress Joy was a joy and so informative about the menu. I ordered the chicken fried steak, 2 eggs, hash browns, toast (cause they had apple butter). Great size of steak, nice flavorful breading and thick meat. Eggs were done perfect and hash browns were just like I ordered. Bestie got a veggie omelet add bacon and biscuits with maple bacon gravy. I had to try and it was ok not my cup if tea it was too sweet but it wasn't bad. She ate it up. We were sad to see chocolate gravy only available on weekends but dont worry they have 30 other variations of gravy to pick from. But we will definitely be back. The decor is cute. Parking is crazy and it's easy to miss if you aren't from there. But after talking and teasing the owner(about her 🐖 decor) we had a wonderful time. We needed it. I know we will definitely be back. Support local small business. Prices were good, food excellent, atmosphere spot on, staff and owner amazing 👏 8 outta 10 (-1 no chocolate gravy, -1 she wouldn't give me a pig)“

“Great dining experience with friends! Enjoyed the seafood tamales! Drinks, entrees and desserts were delicious! No complaints. I recommend for a couples night out with friends.“

“We always enjoy our time at Rococo. We brought a friend for his birthday and they were super the whole night!! The food was amazing too.“

“Traveling on I-40, found Charleston’s on the internet. Fabulous service and fabulous food. Go there if you get the chance.“

“Today I had one of the best burgers, usually I get Sandie but I was given an all clear to eat, and I wanted beef! . That burger was so delicious! Everything is always so good. We have been dining with The Mule 9 plus years and never had bad food or service. Explore that menu don't just stick with your usual!“

“Great atmosphere! Very friendly and hard working staff. The pizza and wings were excellent!!“

“The food was great! I liked that the breading on the fried jalapeños was light, so goooood! The avocado burger was great, the meat was perfect! 👌🏻“

“Vast has amazing views and excellent service. The staff were all pleasant and efficient. The bread and sides were all good, but the steak was disappointing. Ordered medium NY strip. One half was on rare side and the other on the well done. Someone visiting might enjoy the view, but that's where it ends.“

“Tended filet. Great service. Outstanding!“

“Awesome atmosphere and amazing food“

“I've never left Pub W unhappy. 😂 Also, Madison is the best!“

“Great Wait staff!! Very friendly!!“

“I sat with Mack and Destiny at the bar today and they were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and had great personalities. I give them a 34 and 1/2 and recommend sitting with them!“

“Tried it for the 1st time tonight. Got the grilled ribeye which was very tender & delicious. Mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had and the side salad was very tasty. Portions were huge, we even have enough for another meal. I did curbside pickup.“

“First time for my family stopping here. The place was super busy, but every employee we encountered was very polite and on their game. Our food was ready quick and was fantastic. Pretty cool place!“

“By far the best brisket and Philly sandwiches I have had since moving to Oklahoma. The fried okra and the sweet potato fries were also top notch! The manager greeted us and she was the sweetest person to talk with. Super friendly and fast service. My new favorite place in the OKC! We will be back every time we are in the city. The decor was totally 80’s, but it was comfortable and clean.“

“Sia was our server today. We haven’t been here in a while and she still remembered us and what we usually order. She epitomizes the Credo of Black Bear Diner and of its founders!.,, as does Stephen and the rest of your Staff! Well done!!! Sincerely the Love & Pittman families.“

“Service at the I240 OKC location is excellent!“

“My food was Delicious 🤤 and healthy the blackened Catfish and asparagus and Grilled Jumbo Shrimp was what I needed thanks Boss Lady!“

“The place is an open and airy feeling. It was a bit noisy even when not full. It could be the older building. It was a busy weekend in the area due to an arts festival, so parking was not good. We did notice festival goers parking in their lot and not coming into the restaurant. A shame for the Red Rooster customers. Others parked in front and walked to 30th Market and the Arts Festival. I was greeted instantly and graciously seated. (I believe she was the owner,too). Quickly greeted at the table and given water by a server. There looked to be only 2 servers, and they and the manager were doing it all: seating, taking orders, waiting, and running the food, drinks, and refills. A dedicated food runner/bar back/busser would have made the service from the 2 waitresses better and the entire service run more smoothly. At one time, the bartender came out to serve a table. I ordered the Mimosa, which came with freshly squeezed OJ and a good "champagne". Both the OJ & the "champs" were ice cold; a pleasant change from the many Mimosa's served elsewhere. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was excellent! Juicy, flavorful with a garlic aioli and chimichurri on it. The house-made bread & butter pickles were excellent and added a slight acidic flavor. Hubby ordered the Pastrami Hash breakfast bowl. We were excited to try it b/c the waitress said it was her favorite, we love a good hash, and she said the kimchi gave it an "additional crunch" with a slight spicy flavor. I pictured crispy potato fingers, mixed with pieces of tender pastrami, a little kimchi, and 2 soft poached eggs on top with a dollop or two of gravy. It came tous like reddish mush. No eggs were found and the potatoes were not crispy. The dish was unappetizing to look at and did not taste good. It tasted like a bunch of mushed up ingredients with BBQ sauce on it. We were asked if we liked it and we told her honestly, no. She quickly rectified the sad dish. We'll try one more time.“

“My husband and I loved the meatloaf! Staff was very friendly! Loved our waitress Krys. She was very helpful and sweet! We will be back!“

“I had the chicken salad today and it is by far the best salad I’ve ever had. My server Buffy was incredible and the chicken enchilada dip was off the charts. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.“

“Carol Is A Server At The North Location Have Visited Her Several Times . Is Great To Chat With And One Of The Mature Staff Members There. Ask For Her She Is Usually There On Sundays. Football Days James Thompson. JustForYou LLC James From Okc Relationship Consultant.“

“Southern comfort food & hospitality at it's best. Our crew has been eating there for many years. Perry's never disappoints !“

“We've only eaten at the location on South Western. It has rapidly become my favorite restaurant. My wife gets the chicken fried steak or chicken fingers. My favorite is the chopped steak with sauteed onions and brown gravy. The sides are good too.“

“Exceptional tasting 1/2 lb Bacon Cheeseburger, meat 100% thick beef, not crappy thin smashed, 2 smoked tasting long sized bacon X'd over meat, bun full sized toasted, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles & condiments on the side on plate, not stacked and messy. Fries McDonalds like but longer and crispier. Go no further for a great burger at an affordable price with excellent service.“

“Friendly staff and great food. The catfish was delicious. Definitely will be returning soon!“

“We love Solo’s! Our dogs have a great time in the small dog park and we have a great time sitting in the patio or dog park ourselves. The staff are all great and welcoming! Highly recommended!“

“Best biscuits ever! Soft and fluffy! Eggs cooked perfectly! Very friendly staff and the updated decor is so nice! The owner came to our table and is so friendly!“

“Good was great and fast. It was very busy. Service suffered a little because of how crowded it was, but that is understandable. I think the restaurant was recently renovated. It looked nice and clean.

Kid-friendliness: Reasonable pricing. Good for families.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible.“

“Service at the I240 OKC location is excellent!“

“love this place the staff is friendly and the food is good“

“This is going to be multifaceted, but, as the owner, I imagine you would like as detailed feedback as possible on your establishment. :)

I’ve come to this location at least once a week with my 69 year old father this summer, and have visited this location several times over the past decade. We start with an hour of billiards, he gets a Guinness, I get a sprite, and we either get the pretzel sticks or the mozzarella sticks (which are both VERY good at this location), and then we’ll do Mario kart (though, none of them sync anymore, which is sad when you want to race against others and not just NPC’s), maybe basketball, and we’ve enjoyed the new hot wheels racing game.

We’ve also enjoyed the bowling as well and I appreciate how clean the place is, every time we’ve visited.

However, the VR experiences at this location are not maintained well. The headsets are very outdated by today’s standards, with very poor resolution, and the strap on the Beat Saber headset would not even tighten.

Maybe you could start by updating the Beat Saber’s VR headset (quest 3s have very good lenses and high resolution screens on them), with a KIWI headset strap, which are built much better than what you are currently using). And then, see if that draws more people, and make a decision on whether you update the other headsets.

Anyway, I’m just a dude, I don’t even have any stock in main event, but, if arcades like this are going to thrive in the future, you gotta keep them up-to-date :D (the hot wheel game was a great move, I thought… I hope people play it).

I saw you respond to a review on here, so I thought it would be worth taking the time to write you. Thank you for giving the kids of OKC a safe place to have fun. -Kenneth“

“My order was messed up on my lunch and Eric the manager there went above and beyond to fix and replace my order for me when I came in after getting off work. He even remembered my name 😊! I highly recommend this location. Also, I didn’t realize how DELICIOUS their cookies are! Great staff, great service, great food.“

“It’s a nice Golden Corral. The food was very fine, nothing too special but all of it was edible and didn’t taste terrible.

The ice cream machine was a little gross with ice cream all over it.

Our waiter, JR, did an excellent job!“
