This is a fun place, interesting drinks, good food. As a vegetarian there were few choices. I had Mac and Cheese, mashed potatoes with cream gravy and onion rings followed by caramel cheesecake. Pretty good but had to eat the onion rings with a fork.

I like the chimi here. It's a bit high priced before the price increase. The chicken tenders are big, juicy and full of flavor. Combine them with the onion rings and you will be happy.

Food is delicious and service is wonderful. I love how the manager checks in with each table and makes sure everything is good. He's done this each time we've been there. Highly recommend.

Cole was our very attentive and accommodating server. Our two entrees included one with grilled chicken and the other with shrimp. We very much enjoyed our meals and will certainly return. Note: Be sure to request Charro Beans as on of your sides!

Food tasted good. However, the service was not as good as I had hoped for...probably a somewhat new server, but the manager did check on us. The real reason for the 3 stars is the steak pricing. I know there has been a bit of a crunch on supplies, but nowhere I have been (since restaurants reopened) has raised prices so drastically for a steak. When I see $32 for a steak (I believe a filet mignon), along with the other steak prices, I question it.

Not a bad place. Servers are good people and witty. Food is okay but nothing to scream about. Nothing on tap. Don’t confuse John Boy his name is actually Cole and Jordan is an awesome singer.

I remember this place being so much better. Don't get me wrong. The filet steak is still great and the atmosphere is nice. The ribeye's quality seems to have gone down though. Very bland and not seasoned well at all. The BBQ beans are fantastic. I get them every single time. I still enjoy coming here and will continue to do so. Hopefully they can get things right again!

Must have just been having a bad day so I will give it three. Served me wrong beer, Southwest salad had no roasted corn and I didn't get choice of salad dressing. Took me 45 minutes to get two beers and salad. Hope it's better the next time.

Literally the top three places I have ever eaten all around the board food-wise. We got two appetizers and two entrees and four sides and literally EVERYTHING all the way to the dips and sauces that comes with it was amazing!!!! definitely recommend the Thunder shrimp! Service was amazing as well. Atmosphere was good. Bathrooms clean.

Food is fresh and very flavorful. I had the chicken fried chicken with white gravy, loaded baked potato and macaroni and cheese. My husband had the chop steak burger with loaded baked potato and wild rice. Food was hot. Chicken was really tasty. Service with the waitress was excellent. Will come back to try other things. 🤤

When your significant other says "I don't care" in response to where to eat, go here. Heck, go here anyway! Amazing pub style bar and grill. Super delicious food and a nice relaxed feel and atmosphere. Full bar and plenty of sports/entertainment from the multiple overhead TV's. Will definitely be back here soon; wonderful people, awesome food, and just an all around great experience. Keep up the great work and we'll see y'all again soon!

Very good food here! I’ve never had any complaints. Very nice sports bar feel with tons of tv’s for the big game. Great place to catch a football game. Very close to Hwy 412, but it’s easiest to go East (away from Tulsa) as that’s a right turn onto a busy Hwy. Very nice servers, hostesses, and bartenders. Love the decor here. Bathrooms were very clean & nice.

I was disapointed in this place. The chicken fried steak was way overcooked so was the burgers and fries. Serrvice was like you expect to get from someone that was brand new at the job. I would never recommend this place and I will never be back. Terrible place to eat.

We've been a few times and have never been very impressed. We keep going back for the convenient location, mainly. We were there on Saturday evening around 6:30 and were more disappointed than ever. The restaurant was not clean, trash and food droppings were all over the floor. We were sat at a table for four but the table was very small and barely had room for all our meals, so not exactly comfortable. One of the meals we ordered was the bologna sandwich and it came out with barely a squeeze of mustard and 2 slices of pickle. It was advertised to be loaded with pickles, mustard, and onions and it was NOT. I'd say after seeing the dining area conditions this most recent visit, paired with the disappointing meals, we will not be back.

The wait staff is very good. My house salad was very good. Unfortunately they DON'T do steaks very well. Not only are they about 1/4", thick, there was a lot of gristle & fat plus way over cooked. And the flavor wasnt that great. So I do reccomend the establishment but you should stick with anything(I guess) EXCEPT the steaks!

Horrid. not going back. Was great years ago, but this time it was literally like they bought everything at walmart and put it together in a back room with a microwave. And thier house cilantro lime vinaigrette, which is made daily, was none of the three words it claimed to be. It was olive oil, with minimal if any flavor, probably because it's made daily. Balsamic dressing was kraft, yet the cheese in the grilled cheese wasnt. Queso was grainy and melted in a microwave I'm sure. Manager was nice. Waitress didnt know up from down. Had to ask if they had the beer requested, had to ask if they could use shrimp instead of chicken, a simple substitution, and she had to ask. The food was hardly worth 30 dollars let alone 80. Never go here if you have other options.
