    Banana pudding
    Aditya S.

    The meal just kept getting better with each dish. Ambiance and service was fantastic. The brussel sprouts were delicious but the sticky spicy ribs were my favorite item of the night. I've genuinely never seen more tender ribs that took "fall of the bone" to the next level. Flavor and sauce was delicious too. Desert finished a great meal for me, banana pudding is amazing if you have a sweet tooth, and the black sesame crème brûlée is a unique desert with more mild sweetness. Banana pudding was easily the best I've ever had. You can tell that chef Kevin Lee purposefully curated this menu, food and pacing was timed perfectly, staff is all great and especially shoutout my server/bartender Tony, Great recommendations and he will make you a custom cocktail based off a few words or a vibe. Highly recommend everyone checks this place out!

    Kimchi pancake
    Sandra K.

    Tasty Korean food here! We ordered: Brussel sprouts- crispy, sweet, fried, would order again. Kimchi pancake- VERY good. Excellent crisp on the outside. Soft on the inside. Excellent flavor. Waygyu short ribs: we ordered medium rare - it was cooked to our liking. Flavor is excellent. Love the 3 dipping sauces. The fav sauce was the soy garlic ginger w the raw egg. Hot stone Bibimbap: flavor was excellent but was not an authentic Hot Stone / dolsot bibimbap. It was served in a hot stone that wasn't hot and rice was not crispy at all. Plan early by making a reservation if you want to come here. I didn't prefer the dark setting. We sat on the left side of the restaurant, which seemed darker. We had to move the table lamp to the middle of the table to see our food. We had to adjust the lamp to take decent food photos here. Good food needs to be visible too.

    I went to Oklahoma for a Valentine's Day date in Edmond. I took my date to Birdies after after discovering it on Yelp. This was the first time for both of us as I live in Fort Worth, Texas. Biut she does live in Edmond. The restaurant was very nice and upscale. We were supposed to sit at the bar because it was very crowded and we barely got a reservation. But when we got there, the bar was full and it was time for our reservation. I told my date that we would end up getting a table. Just a few minutes later we did get that table so it was very nice. All of the food came family style, so you could just share it, we both enjoy this. The service was great and we were satisfied tremendously. We had the Bulgogi bowl. Next time we will try the ribeye.

    "Twice as good" FOR REAL! Honestly, I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner. My friend and I shared a medium rare wagyu filet, kimchi pancake and Brussels sprouts. The filet practically melted in our mouths, it was prepared and salted to perfection. Definitely make reservations in advance. We were a party of 3 without reservations (not knowing), and I had to send my husband home! Embarrassing, but the bar is so small...DO NOT EXPECT to walk in unless it's only 2 of you. Even then, ...just make the reservation. You could be gambling, haha. No Chef Kevin sightings but we loved the dark modern decor and feel of the restaurant. It's small and cozy with very friendly and warm staff. I cannot wait to go back soon. Such a gem for OKC! Making a reservation this time... ;P

    This may be my new fav restaurant just due to the sheer fun of it. That's not to say all the food isn't excellent, but the uniqueness and "fun factor" set it miles apart from some other things at this price point. This is also definitely my favorite of the "by Chef Name" disappointments that seem to be popping up everywhere. This was also actually my first pick for my bday but they were closed on Mondays. Sweet Potato Burrata - I don't like sweet potato but I like burrata so taking a leap of faith in a new restaurant I decided to try it anyway. It was delicious and possibly the most unique dish I've ever had. It was stunning visually. 5/5 Beef Tartare - My favorite item. Fantastic. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my life. Closer to a yellowtail special mixture at a good sushi restaurant than a traditional beef tartare, it combines two of my favorite things flawlessly. 6/5 Prime Strip - 5/5, but nothing really to comment on. Exactly as you'd expect. Wagyu Ribeye - 5/5, the shape of the meat made it perfect for dipping/lettuce wraps without the need to cut. The quality was excellent. We also got the filet, but that was my girlfriend's so I can't remember enough to comment on it. I may not have even tried it, but everyone enjoyed their meals thoroughly. The sides were good as well, but I can't recall specifics. Another HUGE positive is giving 3 dipping sauces for each steak. That will make me keep coming back. It's so dang fun. At this price point, usually you have to individually order tiny cups of sauce for $3+ each which quickly adds up to $9+ if you want to try more than one. Birdie's just gives you dipping sauces by default which means a lot to me. It changes every year, but as of right now, I think Birdie's is my fav restaurant in the city.

    Sweet potato Burrata
    Candice D.

    Don't judge this place by its name! I was definitely surprised by the quiet elegance of this place. The food was impeccably presented and the taste did not disappoint. We started with the Sweet potato burrata. The candied sweet potatoes makes this dish stand out! This is a definitely must have! I ordered the sticky ribs and was impressed they tasted as good as they looked. perfectly sweet and sticky with a little kick. We finished with a dessert that was similar to Gojujang pudding? I rene ver thinking there's no way I would like a spicy dessert. I'm not sure where the gojujuang flavor was but I surely didn't taste it. What I tasted though, was pure delight in every bite! It was smooth and light with the right amount of sweetness. You'll definitely want more than a couple bites of this!

    Empty tables that the hostess refuse to seat us
    Fanny C.

    Empty tables, empty promises I'm all reservation system, but the table management here is truly a display of inefficiency We stood in the lobby while two tables sat completely vacant because they were reserved in 45 minutes. We were still told no when promised to vacate before the next reservation It's a special kind of "unpleasantry" to watch empty tables waste away while the lobby is full of paying customers. If your reservation book is more important than the customers physically present , you aren't "managing" a restaurant--you're running a reservation system

    Not a negative thing to say! We very much enjoyed the Wagyu short ribs! It comes with 3 sauces and lettuce wraps. We paired that with the bibimbap and it was perfect together! The service was informative and quick. She gave great suggestions and that helped us plan our meal well. There is a small bar inside with bar top seating. I would advise making a reservation in advance. It's not a huge restaurant so seating can be limited given they are mainly open 5-10:30 Tuesday-Saturday. We would definitely go again!

    Came for Valentines around 9 a reservation was made. They have a main and plates advised better to pick from. Was a little skeptical on the sweet potato burrata I don't eat all sweet potato's but it was so good! For the plates I had the Tteokkboki rice cakes and buttered cheese corn scallops, didn't like the texture on the rice cakes but the corn was good it was pretty much corn and cheeses. For the entree I got the prime rib the flavor was good but I think the meat needed to be cooked longer. Lastly I had the Carmel banana pudding if your a fan of cream cheese you'd like it.

    Alicia B.

    Worth every penny! Had an amazing time at Birdie's and will definitely be back. Definitely recommend making reservations. Got here during the week with three other friends and had a great time. The vibes were amazing not noisy, we were able to have great conversation and hear ourselves. The food was chef's I loved everything served especially banana pudding Will I be back ? yes

    We have been a fan of Chef Kevin for a few years now. This was our first time making a trip to visit his restaurant. What a compliment to the start of our trip. We started as most did with the Sweet Potato Burrata. What a great dish. The chips were amazing. The pomegranate seeds helped cut the sweetness. A very rich tasting starter that should actually be a dessert. It was something I would have not expected. We then had the house salad, For us two, we would have been happy with the meal ending with that. We are not big eaters and weren't ready for the size of the Portions. Everything is served family style. Bring your appetite. The dressing was unique and tasty. The salad was perfectly dressed. The pickled onions were to die for. We then had the Bibimbap. WOW, what a flavorful profile. Kevin, you out did yourself. I have never had Korean influenced food before and this has turned me into a fan. Then came the tots. As noted previously, these are some of the best tots ever. What a beautiful piece to an already excellent meal. Finally, we topped off the evening with a Special dessert of banana pudding. I didn't taste bananas, so not too sure I have the name right. But it was delicious with the Gojunang Caramel sauce on top. We are thankful we had the opportunity to share this restaurant with people and ourselves. What a great place to visit!

    It was busy on a Tuesday evening. Food and service were good except we waited quite a while for the ribeye. However, it was worth waiting for. I did not like the kimchi pancake as it was too thick and fluffy instead of thin and crispy. Brussels sprouts were good too.

    First time back at the restaurant since the redo and new theme. The old version was incredible, and this revamp is incredible! Went here with family for a graduation meal, and while I wish I had taken more pictures, everything we had was outstanding! Love the family-style option, although you can order individually. Service was professional yet personal, and the chef came to check on us. Wine selection was also impressive. Will definitely return. Great for a special occasion, but why not make any day special by treating yourself or others to this incredible cuisine and venue.

    My favorite restaurant of the year!…read more 5 stars all the way, from the food, presentation, service, staff, decor, and vibe it was all perfect. I got the Wagyu Burger and chose the Prosciutto-Truffle Mac as my side. The burger was absolutely delicious, and the Mac is now in my Top 5 all time Mac selections. A neighborhood gem for sure! Be sure to ask for Kyler!

    We had a reservation for 6, we arrived on time at 7:45pm, were seated immediately, it took…read moreliterally 45 minutes for the waiter to come to our table and take drink orders, another 20 minutes for us to get our drinks (beers, ice tea and 3 simple cocktails). The appetizer we order based on the waiter suggestion was a sloppy culinary mess, not one person in this group of 6 could eat it. With much delay again, we placed our orders, the salad I order came incorrectly, I orders and spinach salad and received a caesar salad; they forgot the salad my friend ordered until after the main course came and she had to remind the waiter who had not placed that order at all. My husband had to wait 20 minutes for an ice tea refill, my friend was not able to place order for a 2nd beer for about the same time because the waiter would just not come back to check on our table. The caesar salad I ended up eating did taste good, the pizza was decent. The waiter did take the dips off our checks because we sent it back, so I appreciated his responsibility with this. It was a very disappointing experience, 2 of our friends drove from Norman to meet us here and we are not able to see each other often. The ambiance was also very loud and hard to have a conversation without speaking very loud. I do not recommend and will not go back to this restaurant.

    We wanted a casual Sunday night dinner. We had not been to Eddies in Chisholm Creek in Oklahoma…read moreCity. We were thrilled to enjoy quite a variety of food types on their menu. I had a great grilled chicken and avocado sandwich. My friend had a personal pizza. My husband had a very good Cobb Salad with chicken. That looked like a terrific choice. They also had a variety of hamburgers and pastas. Great menu! Eddies had lots of TV monitors & a covered patio where each table fir 4 had its own TV monitor. The service was excellent and prices were good. This is in a great location near Top Golf. I highly recommend Eddies!

After 40 minutes I finally asked my server to physically go check on it. She disappeared into the kitchen for 10 minutes, then came back with the manager. Turns out my server had rung in a cocktail instead of my salad. Fine -- mistakes happen. What's not fine is that the manager's solution was to ask me to pay the difference because the salad cost more. I'd been sitting there for an hour. I said no thanks, cancel the order. On my way out I overheard the manager tell the bartender "don't worry about it" -- apparently already moving on while I was still standing there with no food and no apology. I turned around and confirmed my card wasn't charged. Left after an hour. Hungry. And no putting Eddies on the Do Not Go Back list. Went to RR and had a RR salad. Belly happy!!!
