Unexpectedly found a true culinary gem in Enid, Oklahoma! In town to celebrate an achievement of my son at Vance Air Force Base. After the ceremonies concluded, the family went for a special meal at On the Sidewalk. The food was spectacular. I generally don't trade much in Italian food because my wife's strong ethnic background more than met those needs. All in our party ordered a different dish. They were all superb! Reminded of a scene from Robert Redford's The Natural-- Don't know how to speak it but it sure eats good. It may be a while before I'm back but now I've got another reason to return. read more

Awesome steaks and love the rack of lamb. Great service. Love it. It is comfortable and they also have a party room.

Just finished dinner here. I had the rack of lamb, Best ever!!! Can not believe the flavor of the meat and the sauce. I will be back! Tim from Spokane read more

We have been to this restaurant 4 times now and we have not had a single dish we we haven't liked. Their prices are so reasonable and the food is delicious we have to give them props where they are due. Great restaurant for all occasions. read more

The place has a very comfortable atmosphere wonderful decorations. I had the seafood wrap. They let my wife customize her pizza. Nice they have a lunch and dinner menu separate. They do have out door seating as well. But it was cold. Parking is down town. So if they may be busy might be a short walk but well worth it. The price is fair won't break the bank. Restrooms nice a clean. We will be back to try there dinner menu. read more

The best rack of lamb anywhere! If you are looking for a unique restaurant this needs to be your choice. The steaks are amazing as well with a different type of flavor die to the spices/rub. read more

Always great food and service with good value and nice conversational vibe great place to grab.a drink and appetizers and talk

Lordeeeeee! Last night we tried the lobster. Deeeeeelicious! It comes with the most superb chunks of filet mignon. So soft, you barely need a knife. I dipped my steak in the lobster lemon butter, and almost cried. Such a wonderful date night. Thx! read more

We stopped in on a very busy night during the Christmas Parade. We were in a rush so only ordered appetizers. Service was prompt and the dishes looked good. However, each one was just a little off. Maybe they were rushed with all the customers. The ambience was very nice and the location is great. They have a full bar and tons of seating. We'll be back again go check it out on a normal night. read more

On the Sidewalk Bar and Grill - Italian Near Me - Enid, Oklahoma

Best restaurant we've found in Enid! Hidden gem, and nice atmosphere for downtown Enid.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. Went for my birthday last night and it was a great place to go. The atmosphere is very nice, somewhat upscale but very laid back. The menu was simple to navigate and had very good selections. I had the ribeye with vegetables and my husband had the rack of lamb. Both were very good. Our server was wonderful. Drinks and dessert were great too! I'll definitely be going back and recommend this place to anyone for a nice date night eatery or even a business lunch/dinner read more

The service was pretty good. The rack of lamb unfortunately was pretty flavorless. This restaurant was recommended by a friend. I'd be willing to give it another shot in the future. I'd just recommend something other than the rack of lamb. The environment is very nice and relaxing! It seems like a great place. Just didn't have the best luck with my order. read more

A local upscale restaurant in downtown Enid. Continental cuisine. Seafood tortellini was excellent, wine prices reasonable. Well done! Management does need to train servers how to serve wine from the bottle. read more

Great food and great service! Their steaks on the dinner menu are amazing as are their pasta menu items. The veal saltimbocca is my fav!

Excellent Food! We went for Early Mothers Day Dinner on Thursday Eve, Great Veal, Brucettta, salad etc. Lots of other choices to pick next time soon! Lemon Bluberry cake was the BOMB! Mark and Nancy Hall, keep it up! read more

I've eaten here 3 times. It truly saddens me when you pay more but the quality doesn't match the price tag. I felt like the food was cheaply done. I wish this restaurant would take more artistry to their cuisine. Or rather so more passion. It was all very basic and truly over priced. The menu used to be better. They had great options. Now it's very limited. Would love the gyro back/more Mediterranean feel this place used to have! Great atmosphere though. read more

Great service. The decor is nice, food is good. It's a nice and quiet place. Rack of lambs was on point and the penne paste was good. One of the top 5 restaurants in Enid! read more

On the Sidewalk Bar and Grill - Bar - Italian Near Me - Enid, Oklahoma

We enjoyed a good lunch here during our Enid trip and decided to try their dinner service (reservations are recommended). I had the Lemonata, a very tasty linguine dish with grilled chicken and artichoke hearts in a lemon sauce. Their rack of lamb is a little pricey but you do get a large portion ($30 for 16 oz) and was prepared perfectly and was oh so tasty. Dessert was just as good, we had the creme brulee and the spumoni. Service was very good and well worth the visit. The small dining room does have more of a bar atmosphere with the music and room layout. I agree with others that this may be the best restaurant in Enid. read more

Very nice spot for Enid. The menu for dinner is a bit upscale and the prices reflect that. I had the ribeye with fried mushrooms and a salad ($34). My wife had the chicken scallopini ($17). The salads were average but the main courses were delicious. We had creme brûlée and the lemon blueberry cake for dinner. The cake was fabulous, I'm not sure if they're making it in house or getting it from somewhere but it was amazing. The server was attentive and no issues there. Hope this place stays open, we like it much more than Napoli's. read more

Easily and by far the best filet I have EVER had. My favorite place for a nice dinner in Enid. Also terrific for lunch gyros and wraps and count yourself lucky if you can catch a Wednesday pot roast sandwich special :))). read more

this is the second time I ordered a salad . first one was with the slivered beef where they MAY have been 3 small pieces of meat and maybe a cup of lettuce . terrible . Today I got the chef salad with grilled chicken. again , hardly any lettuce or tomatoes, a few small pieces of chicken and a clump of cheese on top . Tasted like a 5 year old made it . I've had other dishes there that were pretty good but apparently salads are not their forte . Don't bother getting one . waste of money read more

Been here a few time and I used to enjoy dining here. Had group in from across the country, one suggested we dine here. Just to be quick steaks were all over cooked and service was below average. It really used to be a great place, now I give it a solid 2. Was almost 1, today I am in a good mood and at least the beer was cold and I got a chair. No rush to eat I will try again in 30 days. I was wondering why there was a lot of empty seats. read more

I really don't know what the hype is about this place. I've been twice. The first time was for lunch. A friend and I were excited because we had heard decent things about this place. We stood inside for a while waiting, not sure if we should seat ourselves. Finally someone came over and just told us to sit where ever. We sat outside (tricky sliding doors that don't look like doors - must get into patio from the inside of the restaurant) which was nice downtown. Everything was downhill from there. I ended up with the French Dip and my friend had one of the pizzas. Um, no. My sandwich was uber small for $8, the bread was waaay over toasted to the point it just crumbled when I bit into it. My steak was obviously from the previous weeks leftovers (which is fine..if it's good....but this was dry and not good at all), the cheese was that dry cheap cheese that doesn't really stay melted. The dip. Well, I don't remember the dip. My friends pizza came out and I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a kids pizza or something. It was literally the size of a pita bread, and it looked like a pita. It had these generic vegetables on them that looked like they were straight out of a can. I didn't try it and I had no urge to. It just looked bad. We weren't impressed. After that, I had no intentions of ever going back, but a friend asked my husband and I to meet him there. Ugh. Okay. One more shot. It was 'eh'. The whole meal. I can't say it was bad, but it definitely wasn't good. I got the Veal Marsala and my husband got the Tortellini Mazzini. Eh. Eh. Eh. And my Manhattan was terribly overpriced for Enid America. Just Saying. Normally I'm always willing to give places 2 or 3 trys, you never know when someone is having an 'off' day...but something...ANYTHING has got to make me want to come back. I think the problem with places around here is they are trying to be something they aren't. If you want to be a nice restaurant, be a nice restaurant. If you want to be upscale, then serve upscale. You can't just raise prices for mediocre food. If this food was cheaper and served in a more casual atmosphere, I probably would have enjoyed it more. I just want the restaurants to stop trying so hard. Find something you do well, and do it. read more

Stopped in one evening for a bite to eat and a drink or two. The food was fine and the service was fast and friendly. It's nice to sit out in their patio and watch the world go by (or at least Enid). It's worth a visit and you won't be disappointed! read more

Alright Enid, I sampled what you call the very best and I have to conclude... it's pretty good. Short version: Wine meh, Apps bleh, Salad yuck, Entree yay. No dessert, boo. Long Version: My girl's night out gave me an excuse to (FINALLY) wear a dress in Enid, and although we were overdressed for the Sidewalk, we didn't feel out of place. My group and I started off with booze of course... although the wine selection was good, they had very few glasses for sale, probably only 5 out of easily a 50 bottle selection. No splits either. My advice to this place is to crack open some of these bottles and sell glasses for $12-$15... people like me would pay that to avoid your house selections. I am that much of a booze snob, but not so much of a booze snob that I would buy an entire bottle of wine myself. Come to think of it, that would have really impressed my little group, who was already amazed at my penchant for discussing weapons and self-defense techniques. Thinking back, that was probably a bad first impression. Oh well, I digress. We ordered some apps: shrimp cocktail, bruscetta, and spinach artichoke dip... meh, bleh, and meh. Cocktail was normal, bruschetta was gross (and consequently not actual bruschetta... being that bruschetta does not have olives and onions but does have MOZZARELLA and BASIL) and spinach artichoke dip was normal. The caesar salad I had before dinner was absolutely awful. Salad was mixed greens, not romaine, iceberg overload, and the dressing most definitely came out of a jar. If it didn't come out of a jar, I am really impressed at how this joint managed to screw up homemade caesar dressing. Apparently they have a homemade spicy vinegarette which they serve in old glass Voss water bottles. The dressing was good, but they could do patrons a favor and get a proper container for the dressing, so it looks like our table didn't order a bottle of Voss upchuck. I ordered scallopini for dinner: chicken piccatta, one of my most favorite Italian dishes. I admit: it was really good, on par with piccatta at more expensive restaurants. Heads up: when they say on the menu that a dish includes onions, they mean it. Thank goodness husband was out of town, two days later I still smell like onions. But I love onions, so it's a good thing for me to smell like onions... well not good for you, but I don't mind it, but, you know, whatever. I digress. No dessert this time around, bill came out to around $45 for myself, which included two glasses of wine, an app, and an entree. On pricing, I have to say that some things were overpriced and some things were underpriced, at $10, I felt like the cocktail app was a little overpriced for what you got. My glass of wine was underpriced at $7, and my entree was probably correctly priced. I said in a previous review that a gauge of ambiance probably had no rightful place in an Enid restaurant review. I stand by that statement, although this place does give the old college try. The lighting and bar were jazzy, but their murals look like they were outsourced to a prison or kindergarten class. Was that too harsh? Oh well, don't fret, I still dug the food. read more

Ate lunch and had the Ocean Wrap. Shrimp with a spicy mayo/caper sauce in a tomato wrap. Shrimp can be easily overdone into a piece of rubber. This was not the case here. The shrimp was cooked exactly to appropriate doneness! Excellent. Dinner menu looks good but a bit pricey. Yes I will return. read more

Went there for lunch for the first time. They had a fantastic menu, more casual then the dinner menu and more choices (Enid restaurants seem to have a trend of offering great lunches and lackluster dinners). I had the Grecian burger, which was toped with artichoke, capers, cheese and a house mayo based sauce. It was cooked well and the perfect size. Their fries were fresh and the cappuccino I ordered as a mid work day boost hit the spot. Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly, fresh and hot. Definitely want to come back for lunch! read more

On the Sidewalk Bar and Grill - Capacino - Italian Near Me - Enid, Oklahoma

Be sure to call before you go. Their hours change and the entire restaurant can be reserved. The service leaves a lot to be desired. The food is generic Italian, but all overpriced. One good thing they have is their house salad dressing. read more

Apparently, this is the "to-go" place in Enid. Got to try the Bill Beef, burger, and tiramisu. Friend got the pizza, and it was really small. Everything was okay. The Bill Beef didn't have enough beef, the burger was overcooked, and the tiramisu tasted like it was from a frozen box from the grocery store. The side salad seemed from out of a bag. The price, service and food are satisfactory, but I probably won't be back even if I were in the area again. read more

Good food but it is very overpriced. Normally this would be equivalent to a four star rating. The food is the only reason to keep it above a 1 star. The service is extremely slow. Took over an hour from sitting down to receiving dinner. Culprit of this issue can be isolated to an inattentive staff. Finally do not order a mixed drink. You can get more alcohol in a virgin drink than from ordering here. read more

In town working and stumbled upon this quaint little place. Ended up coming here 2 nights in a row. Great atmosphere great service great food . One place not to miss ! read more

Oh my God for a first visit it was great.... Our waitress did excellent in her service and was very attentive. We had the rack of lamb cooked medium and it was delicious. The sauce was excellent and just the right amount of heat to add to the flavor. We plan to attend this restaurant often. The food was absolutely delicious and perfect for a dinner date. It was beautiful and very romantic ombionce and great tasting food and excellent service. read more

Time: Wednesday evening Location: Downtown Enid Price: $32 Food: Halibut: Halibut steak topped with grilled pineapples, bell peppers and cilantro served with Basmati rice (Lightly SPICY) Music: Classic rock like Beatles Interior Design: It was nice Pros: Beer was good and the food was decent Cons: The cost Overall: Not even close to being worth the cost. Sure its a nice place for Enid but $32 for decent is not good enough. read more

I am really surprised at all the hype around this restaurant. My hubby and I finally got around to eating at this place and I must say, I am really disappointed. As someone else mentioned below, bruschetta does not normally have black olives and onions. They served ours with dried basil flakes instead of fresh basil leaves which was one of the first things that I did not like; in addition to the black olives which obviously came out of a can, the bruschetta was loaded with red onions (i usually love, but not on my bruschetta). Next was the house salad which was completely lackluster. I think if you are going to serve romaine, at least cut out the spines. It had low quality cheddar cheese plus tomato and cucumber. There was nothing even remotely exciting about this salad. I asked for the "balsamic vinaigrette" and was served a bottle of balsamic vinegar...not the same thing. The "french bread" was eh. For the main course I had the lemonata and my husband had the puttanesca. Because I did not have but a taste of my husbands dish I can't really go into detail about what I liked or disliked, but he commented that the tomato sauce tasted like Ragu out of a can, and I have to agree. The sauce had no flavor. Actually i think Ragu can do better. As for my lemonata, which is similar to a chicken scallopini -but with grilled chicken instead. Overall, it was alright. Not horrible, but I noticed that the menu had said it was served vermicelli and I got what thick overcooked spaghetti. If you are going to call it vermicelli, then at least serve some thin spaghetti so it's not as obvious. It had artichoke, onion, and again with the canned black olives. Overall I think this place could be really good, if a little more thought was put into the food. I found a lot of their ingredient choices to be of lesser quality. I am not above shelling out good money for good food but I hate paying average prices for sub par dining. In regards to the facility itself, the ambiance is nice and service is average-ish. I wish I didn't read all the rave reviews before going because I had high expectations. I suppose if you've never had better, this place might seem pretty decent.....no offense to the fans of this place. Just my opinion. Needless to say, this was my first/last time eating here. read more

Again a delicious and relaxing dinner with friends. The steaks were great and this time, the salads were ice cold. They have an excellent bleu cheese dressing. Their special was a side of marinated asparagus spears. They were excellent. A very nice establishment with top notch service. read more

I've only been for dinner and it wasn't the best. The food was tasty but way over priced for the small portions you get. The service was slow even though there were only 5 or 6 parties there. They had a nice beer and wine selection with a full bar. Probably the closest thing Enid has to an Olive Garden just too small of portions for too much money. They are trying to be classier than they are read more

This place is very good. They lack on the portions at lunch and they are very expensive especially for have to go through fast food afterwards. read more

I have eaten there twice, and both times the food was bland. The shrimp scampi did not have a sauce, but tasted like just olive oil. Depending on the day, the service is kinda slow. read more

They aren't prepared for lunch group. 40 min and no food. I finally had to tell them we needed it to go. The bad part is we made reservations, when we got here no one was aware a reservation was made. We've sat here an hour with water and tea. I requested that we needed to food to go back to our Integris clinic. They said food was good but there's always a wait...somethings aren't worth the wait. I asked to speak to the manager after we sat here for an hour and then our food sat in bags and we had to retrieve it ourselves. It was totally unprofessional. read more

I really love their portobello sandwich, so much its inhibiting my ability to try anything else for lunch when I'm Enid. Very tasty place to eat and it feels kind of like a European style cafe bar inside. If I had the time I could probably spend hours relaxing here and just enjoying Enid's beautiful town square. read more
