I think I read it is just rented and a franchise of the Davis one. Our bill was $82 so should be great. First the brisket was moist but almost too much. Not sure about the taste also. Slices were too thick but you get lots of meat. They were out of coleslaw. The potato salad was ok. The Okra was really good, we requested crisp. We did have a few bites that were uneatable tuff stem like. Baked beans were too uncooked, firm. Tasted like pork n beans in sugar. Bread good. Polish sausage was plane , just like barely heated. Just my opinion, of course but for small town I guess it's just ok. I will be sticking with Davis, Stillwater, or now Noble locations.

When we ordered, it took about 30 minutes to get served, the server, while relatively ambivalent, was nonetheless very attentive and was working very hard. Jake's is known for huge portions. Maybe it's a study in quantity versus quality. We were in a party of 9, a lot of differing orders. One person pronounced the popcorn shrimp as "awful". Imported? Three of us ordered the ribs, they were fatty and tough, and the silverskin had not been removed. Another had the Sloppy Jake, and said it had way too much sweet sauce. The highlight was the turkey; succulent, flavorful, melt in your mouth. The hush puppies were excellent. Potato salad could've used some more... something. A couple of baskets of fries were brought out as well, while they were somewhat soggy, they still tasted very good. A bit greasy, but, hey, they're fries. Everyone had to take stuff home, because the portions are so huge.

From Oklahoma City it's less than an hour drive, and before long you know you've left city life behind. As the old saying goes, never judge a book by its cover -- and the same applies here. From the outside the building is pretty modest, but once you step inside you immediately get that cozy, homey feeling. Another unique feature: the restaurant is only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4:30-9:00 PM, and there are no menus. Your server simply tells you the options: * 8 oz or 12 oz Sirloin * Prime Rib * Rib Dinner * Chicken * Smoked Sausage * Salad Bar * Baked Potato, Sweet Potato, or Fries In my opinion, this is a classic approach -- keep the menu simple so the food and experience can shine. Based on reviews I had read on Facebook and Yelp, the advice was to arrive early or expect a line. Since this was our 20th anniversary dinner, we arrived about 30 minutes before opening and waited comfortably in the parking lot. Good move -- we were seated right when the doors opened at 4:30. The atmosphere inside is dimly lit and quaint, giving it a relaxed small-town steakhouse vibe. Our server Virginia greeted us quickly, took our drink order, and we both ordered the 12 oz sirloin with baked potatoes. The salad bar is simple but well done. One detail I loved: refrigerated salad plates -- in my opinion that's the only proper way to serve a side salad. The offerings included iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions, shredded carrots, cucumbers, chives, croutons, and dressings like blue cheese, French/Catalina, and ranch. They also offer fried okra and pinto beans, which adds a nice Oklahoma touch. Instead of rolls, each diner receives a barbecue rib to start the meal -- now that's a unique and delicious idea. Our steaks arrived shortly after. I ordered mine medium rare, my wife went with medium rare plus, and both were excellent. The first bite had that unmistakable mesquite flavor, and the seasoning was spot on. Honestly, we probably didn't need the 12 oz steaks -- neither of us finished them. Could I have? Sure. But why be miserable? The meal was outstanding and exactly what we were hoping for on a special night. The only small disappointment was that there are no dessert options, but that's hardly a deal breaker. Final thoughts: Ken's Steak & Ribs is absolutely worth the trip. It takes a little planning because of their limited hours, but if you're looking for a classic Oklahoma steakhouse experience, this place delivers. We'll definitely be back.

They open at 4:30 and there were just a few tables left. The venue is in an old vintage building so common across small town Oklahoma. It's definitely casual with a very relaxed atmosphere. There is no menu and the offerings are limited: prime rib, sirloin steak and ribs. There is a wonderful salad bar. The salad is cold, as are the plates. On the salad bar is fried Okra and brown beans. They also offer a complimentary rib for each diner. The rib was very good. I ordered the sirloin. It was cooked to order and was flavorful. Sirloin is not a cut I would order if given options. Wish they had filet, T-bone and ribeye on the menu. Jan ordered the prime rib. It was nice and she enjoyed it. Texas Toast is served with the meal. It was nice to do something different. We enjoyed the meal. The hospitality was exceptional. The service very good. The prices are moderate. They do not serve alcoholic beverages.
