    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    We sat at the bar and had chili fries and a couple local beers. Love that you get a souvenir cup with each draft!!

    Upstairs rest in the restaurant

    Stillwater, Oklahoma Always wanted to come here and finally made it. Let's see what the hype is all about. There were three people working the hostess stand at 1:15 on a Monday. We had a 20 minute wait for a table. I asked the hostess if we could sit upstairs as it was very cold downstairs. They were very accommodating and kind. I asked to see a menu, and when I went to return the menu, they asked me what I thought I was going to get. They even offered a few suggestions. As busy as that front area is, I am thrilled to see the kindness of all of the members at the hostess stand. Special shout out to Kloee for her care and kindness. We were seated upstairs and our waiter is Lance. A quiet guy. But don't be fooled. He is incredibly nice and very concerned about making you happy. I explained I had an allergy and he went back to the kitchen, came back out to tell me that the manager has taken it upon himself to make my meal so that there would be no cross-contamination After the food was delivered. He immediately came to see how things were. Genuinely kind, concerned, helpful waiter. I would love to have him as my waiter any day. Thanks Lance! We started with the infamous cheese fries. They were loaded with hot gooey cheese. The potatoes are cut with the skin still on. They're delicious, but eat them fast. When they get cold, they lose their fun flavor. They are served with a side of ranch dressing. The restaurant is mainly stone and wood. Stone walls, wood floor, wood tables. Lots of orange, yellow and blue flags and balloons in the restaurant. Not sure if this is standard or a special occasion for the month of January. Light music, but not too loud. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with sautéed mushrooms as my side dish. My husband ordered the burger with cheese. He ordered it with a side of mac & cheese. There is a one dollar up charge for both of our sides. However, we did not want fries, beans, applesauce, coleslaw. Those things come at no extra charge. The buffalo chicken sandwich is very saucy. I dare say too much. The sauce does not taste like buffalo wings sauce, but more like a red hot sauce with pepper seasoning, Lots of pepper seasoning. The chicken is a bit dry. The bun is served cold. I think a suggestion to grill it would make the sandwich much better. It was accompanied with lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomato. The sautéed mushrooms are good. Definitely sautéed in butter and red wine. My only concern is they were on the cold side. The cheeseburger was average. Nothing special about it. Neither good, nor bad. The mac & cheese is not worth the extra money to order. Overall, the best part of the meal would be the cheese fries. Although the food overall was not my favorite, I would definitely come back if I were in the area. Big thank you to the staff that I encountered. They made my experience all that more enjoyable.

    The open face chili burger has no top bun and is not warm at all. Not recommended 2/10. The bun was the best part.

    I don't believe that I have ever had a bad meal at any restaurant that had the name "Granny" in it…read more Granny's Kitchen did not disappoint. Located on the SE corner 7th and Main St. in downtown Stillwater, in a nicely remodeled brick building. Inside, the restaurant is smartly decorated in a modern décor mixed with a connection to the past. Between the tee shirts that are for sale, historical pictures and a few artifacts representing rural farm life hang on the walls. In a few areas of the walls, the original brick work is exposed, but masked with a coat of paint. The building's true age shows through the makeup. The chaotic conglomeration of bricks testify that masonry skills and craftsmanship were not required of the builder, when the original structure was erected. Building codes likely not in vogue either. A work of historical beauty. On street parking. And directly behind the restaurant, on the east side, is a parking lot. On a busy weekend parking could be a challenge. Somewhat of a tourist attraction. Souvenirs for the out of towners are prominently on display for purchase. A bar is available to help celebrate yesterday's team victory or numb the pain of defeat. Patio seating is available. Breakfast was perfect. My usual. The picture describes the food. The friendly attentive wait staff keeps your coffee cup full. What else can I say it's, "Granny's" Kitchen.

I told the server it was my first time, and she recommended a great meal and gave me a cinnamon roll. Warm and sticky. The meals are large; they said they make them large because it's a college town, and they want to give the kids leftovers. The restaurant is in the downtown area, with plenty of parking. Although the restaurant seems to be a chain, the staff and the food were excellent, so give it a shot. I would absolutely come back.

I ordered on the app last night thinking I could just drive through and pick up dinner for my kids on the way home. Nope. You have to drive up to the curbside pick up. But wait...you just park in the designated place. You don't really get your food delivered to you. So if you are stressed about Covid, too bad. You still have to walk inside, talk to the person at the register and then sit and wait for your food. What is the point of this stupid app?! I waited for 20+ minutes only to be told they didn't have the bottle of sauce in stock that I had ordered. I only ordered it because asking for sauce was not an option in the app! I was willing to pay $3.99 for a bottle of sauce because my kids like it and I wasn't going to have to go in. But I did. And they didn't have it. They were just going to give me packets and refund the charge of the bottle. Unfortunately the manager didn't know how to issue a refund on the app and had me waiting after I'd received my kids food. Finally I decided to leave to get my kids food home so they could eat it while it was at least warm. I told them I'd come back to get the refund. I go back hours later and they have found a bottle. Seriously people. They did not offer to give me a refund. So now I have this giant bottle of sauce that my kids won't eat because we rarely get take out from Freddy's. This all could have been avoided if I'd have just ordered through the drive through.
