We tried the basil pesto & goat cheese crostini and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were amazing! The negatives: It was a little loud, but not unbearable sitting by a wall. I would not love if I had to sit in the middle of the room. Getting seated was also difficult, as they did not have a host stand, so we just waited by the door. My least favorite part of the evening was when we were trying to pay. They were just holding the handheld machine, so we could not take our time looking at the bill and filling out the tip. The presets were something like 20%, 25%, and 30% tips. I am not opposed to tipping that much if we received above and beyond service, but that felt very pushy for such a nice place.

I came here a couple times when I was pregnant and got great mocktails, too. My husband got the smoked old-fashioned and really enjoyed it. We like their flatbreads, the duck confit nachos are yummy and filling, the Brie en croute is delicious, and the duck trap river smoked salmon and deviled eggs is also super fun. Great date night spot or place to chill and hangout with friends.

They are really SO NICE and the food was SO GOOD! We will definitely come back again!read more

We ordered the mushroom crostini as our appetizer which was good, but the cocktails stole the show. We both had the smoked old fashioned which was amazing. They use Woodford Reserve and don't skimp on the alcohol. I had a passion fruit drink that comes with a shot of champagne as my second drink. It was a tad sweet but quite delicious. My husband had the Fancy Freedom with Templeton Rye, which was also very good. Will be back for happy hour to try the other cocktails.

While there still isn't one in town this place had me coming back all week. I am a writer and like to sit at a bar people watch and work. The atmosphere and music here were legit. Vibe even without live music (school was out) was wonderful. Both barkeeps were great. And I hope this place is still around next time I visit! Def wish I could have seen some live music since I write about music for work. And was raised on this towns music but next time!!! Thank you Salty Bronc!

If you grew up in Oklahoma, then you likely know about the famous Eskimo Joe's. My family went here…read morefor 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.

The menu also deserves credit because there was a huge variety of options, enough that just about anyone could find something they'd enjoy, and the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, the interior was stunning. Bright, colorful, and beautifully designed in a way that almost felt like dining inside a Mexican cathedral. It had warmth and personality without feeling tacky or overdone. You can tell a lot of care went into creating the space. Which makes the actual food situation even more disappointing. The food itself was not bad in terms of quality or preparation. Underneath everything, there were good flavors there. The problem was the salt. Nearly everything we ordered was so aggressively oversalted that it became difficult to enjoy after a few bites. I'm not usually sensitive to sodium, but it actually caused a mild dermatological reaction for me afterward, and my girlfriend could not even finish half of her meal because it was simply too much. It is honestly a shame because almost every other part of the experience was great. If the kitchen could rein in the salt levels, this place would be a great spot for after a movie. Unfortunately, as it stands now, we will not be returning.
