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!

After over a decade living in OK, I finally visited this Stillwater destination restaurant. It…read morelived 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!

The day was warm so the AC was up inside. We were seated however, on a second floor, open porch. Thank goodness for the large, iced, cold glasses of water! I ordered Chicken chili and a Black Bean Burger with everything on it (pickle, tomato and lettuce). The rest of the party received their appetizers, and main dishes. I waited, and waited while the server attended to guests being seated at other tables. When my sandwich arrived it was cold and dry. Way disappointing. The chili though, was hot and delicious, especially with the shredded cheddar I received on the side. I guess it was a busy time of day, or that our server was a bit overwhelmed and unorganized, but I won't be returning any time soon for a cold, dry burger.

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.
