New American Restaurants in Shawnee, OK

“Sheena was very helpful, the food was AWESOME, first time visiting, we willbe back, and pass on attributes!!“

“I recently stopped by the Grandstand Sports Bar & Grill and grabbed an open seat at the bar, where I was warmly welcomed by Cassandra, the bartender. From the moment I sat down, her hospitality stood out—polite, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. As fellow military veterans, we shared a brief moment of camaraderie when she thanked me for my service, a gesture that added a personal touch to the experience.

I ordered a Yuengling and decided to try the alligator bites with a side of fries. The bar wasn’t crowded during my visit, which made for a relaxed atmosphere and allowed Cassandra to be consistently friendly and attentive without missing a beat.

Within ten minutes, my food arrived hot and fresh. The alligator bites were a standout—crispy on the outside, with big, juicy pieces inside, seasoned to perfection. The dipping sauce that accompanied them was flavorful and complemented the dish beautifully. The fries were equally satisfying: golden, crispy, and just the right canvas for a dash of salt and pepper. I enjoyed every bite and didn’t leave a crumb behind.

If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great service and unexpectedly delicious bites, I highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar and ordering the alligator. It’s a bold choice that pays off, and Cassandra’s warm presence!“
