    Always a fun place to come to at my old college town. The food is quite unique and always really good. We had the cheese fries for a starter, and I had the little Joe with pineapple and jalapeños., while others ate the Frito pie and regular hamburger. Good prices on everything great service and always some Eskimo Joe plastic cops to take home

    God's country!!

    We have been going to Joe's for years and still love stopping by when we are in Stillwater. The vibe is always fun with lots of energy and fun music or live sports playing. The staff is friendly and attentive. We love the "Stan's Choice" cheese fries and a cold beer or soda. It's an Oklahoma icon. Go say hi and grab a t shirt or collectible cup today. You'll be glad you did.

    Was told we had a 30 minute wait, got in in 20. Large restaurant, with an extensive menu of food from salads to chicken or beef burgers. Food was made to order, and came out in a timely manner. Pricing was really reasonable ($-$$). Burger taste great, fresh and well flavored. I would give the place a 8.5/10. Plenty of seating inside, and upstairs and well lit inside.

    Joe's Classic with coleslaw

    After over a decade living in OK, I finally visited this Stillwater destination restaurant. It lived up to its reputation as a special place. I came to Stillwater on a work trip with 5 other people. It was a Tuesday just before noon. We were quoted an accurate 10 - 15 minute wait time. That gave us time to browse the gift shop before we sat down at our table on the second floor. We had a nice view of the campus and the bar across the street. It was a bit loud in there due to the music and many other guests, but we carried on our lunch table conversation without any trouble. I ordered Joe's Classic with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. It was a solid charbroiled burger -- a step up from Burger King because of the thickness of the patty and because it had a buttered toasted bun. A little ketchup and mustard was all that it needed. For my side order, I got the coleslaw. Overall, not bad. It was served cold and had little bits of carrot and red cabbage for color and extra crunch. The dressing was not overly sweet and had a runny consistency that I liked. However, I prefer a coleslaw dressing with more vinegar than in their recipe. We ordered some of the famous cheese fries to share as a table. They were delicious! I like that they cut their fries in-house, and their custom fry seasoning was delicious. No extra salt or pepper needed!

    If you grew up in Oklahoma, then you likely know about the famous Eskimo Joe's. My family went here for dinner on New Years Eve - we thought we'd encounter a huge wait like we have in the past, but surprisingly they were able to sit us right away. I do recommend checking the waitlist they have on their website if you plan to dine here - it just gives you a good idea of how long the wait will be and you can also add your party to the waitlist before you arrive so you aren't just standing around waiting for 30 minutes to an hour, this location gets pretty packed some nights. The restaurant itself is pretty big, it's been the same for as long as I can remember and I like that about it. It isn't super trendy or chic, it's got the wooden floors and pool tables and it just reminds me of Oklahoma if that makes sense at all. Our server was super nice, he was on top of everything and had a great attitude. I ordered the frito chili pie - mostly for the fact that I live in Florida now and I don't know of anywhere else that I can order that, it's a nostalgic thing for me for sure. I also had a side cesar salad - no complaints there either. The food has always been good for every time I've visited here. You have to check out the gift shop as well while you're here - you can't go to Eskimo Joe's and not bring home a cup, or shirt, or sweater, or koosie showing the world that you've been there lol The gift shop really is one of our favorite parts about eating here. Our kitchen cabinet has stacks of these Eskimo Joe's cups (which is great for a house with kids) and every member of the family has an Eskimo Joe's shirt...we love it here and will definitely be back.

    Eskimo Joe's and myself go way back. Bottom line: pepper bacon cheese fries are the best item on the menu. The little joe cheeseburger w/cheese is my go to and It would be a major mistake if you didn't at least split it with someone special. The service is "college" so if you tip them early on, it will be top notch for the rest of the experience. As far as overall interior/aesthetic goes: it's college town rural America. Vibes are extremely high. I suggest arriving 30 minutes before your reservation because it's always busy. Go Pokes.

    Food and service is great, but there's more flies than a horse barn in this place. It was difficult to eat with constantly having to deal with this.

    Eskimo Joe's turns 50 years old this year. We had to go and celebrate my wife's 50th birthday celebration today there. She got a nice little gift bag of different items and a fancy Eskimo Joe's 50th anniversary T-shirt along with her free meal and a birthday sundae. It was a twenty minute wait for our group but it wasn't packed but it was busy for a nice lunchtime break. The waiter's were very friendly and took care of everyone's meals fast. I got the Swiss and mushroom burger with their fries. It was a nice delicious meal. One thing I noticed walking up to the restaurant was the smell of the charbroiled burgers being cooked. It was a nice appetizer starter just with that. We all had a great time and enjoyed the time out.

    Great marketing/branding, but the food was very average. The restaurant inside has a lot of character and they have been around for 50 years. This was my first visit, I ordered the Little Joe with fries. Since the server described it like a White Castle burger I also ordered a little Joe with chili. These burgers were definitely not like a white castle in taste or size; they are the size of a McDonald's regular hamburger and are not cooked in butter & onions. The little Joe with chili was their regular hamburger on a plate covered in a mountain of chili. Needless to say, I could not eat all of this. The burgers were very average tasting as was their beanless chili. The fries were good, though there were too many small pieces. They do have a full bar. Draft beer is basically all domestic swill, with the good crafts being served in cans only.

    Anytime I can be in Stillwater, Eskimo Joe's is on my list. I arrived before opening so I had to purchase a couple of t-shirts. The staff was great, as usual. Cooper was my server today and he was very attentive. I ordered the Fire Burger that was topped with Pepper-Jack cheese, jalapeño peppers and spicy hot buffalo wing sauce. I had their homemade fries. The place was clean. Highly recommended.

    Great food. Definitely try the cheese fries. Chill atmosphere. Prepare for a wait, but the food is worth it!

Lately, though, it's clear that whatever made this place special has been pushed aside, if not completely forgotten. The sudden disappearance of your bartenders is baffling. Turnover is normal in a college town, sure, but this wasn't a natural shift, it feels like a purge. The heart and personality of the place left with them. What's left behind feels generic, transactional, and hollow. Then there's the decision to go cashless. I'm not sure who thought that was a good idea, but it's incredibly tone-deaf. It's inconvenient, exclusionary, and says more about your priorities than you probably realize. For a place that used to feel local and grounded, it now feels like it's trying to be something it's not, and failing. Willie's had something rare, real character, built over decades. Watching it unravel this quickly is disappointing, to say the least. We won't be back, and that's not something we say lightly. Good luck, truly. But maybe think about what made people come here in the first place. And who.

Everyone knows the Tumbleweed or "The Weed" as people call it. Heck, my parents used to go here when they were in college. Apparently it was bumpin' back then. Not so much now. Even though my experience happened like... four years ago, I still remember it like it was yesterday. A big group of girls from floor 3 of Village C (the journalism floor) headed on out here to go club. I think all of us had, well, never been clubbing before and well, what were we expecting in the middle of nowheresville Oklahoma? My then-friend, a Chicago girl by the name of Carolyn S. came with me and we were horrified when we walked in after giving the bouncer $7 each, to get in. We walked inside to see the bouncers carrying a girl, like a baby, out of the club. I don't know if she had been on E or was just that ridiculously drunk. I can still see her head flopped back in my mind. Scary. Well, now that that was over, we walked into a completely smoke filled room - picture the bar from the movie My Cousin Vinny and this is what it looked like. Smoke so thick you could cut it with a knife and pool tables everywhere. Ugh. The dance floor was teeny tiny, filled with only girls and I was not having it when some girl on my floor trying to dance up on me. I don't swing that way. I don't think there were even 5 guys sitting around the dance floor with country playing. It was really the last straw for me. After 7 minutes in that hell hole, I called up a guy who lived on my floor back at the dorms and demanded he come save Carolyn and me. Within 10 minutes of my call, I was sitting in the middle seat of his truck, with all the windows down, with him complaining how we smelled like ashtrays. NEVER AGAIN!
