Food was amazing! Great friendly people who served us. FUNtastic vibes! Highly recommend read more

See all

Haven't tasted the food yet. Been waiting and waiting and waiting....still waiting. It has been 30 minutes since we placed our order. Not looking so good for a return visit. read more

I do not write many reviews. But in this case I felt this one is needed. My wife and I went to the standard today for lunch. I had the burger which was mediocre at best, the french fries I had tasted like they were cooked in the same oil as the cat fish and chicken or the oil was just old. Either way the taste wasn't very good. My wife had the chicken strips. The batter they use was tasty but the chicken was way over cooked and horribly dry. I spoke to the woman who came to the table to grab her plates, and mentioned all of what I just said to her unfortunately, not a peep from the manager to me that is a make it, or break it moment not that I was looking for anything because I wasn't just needed to inform him that he has problems. I was hoping for a better experience but unfortunately that did not happen. Thanks for listening. read more

The service was good I love the beer selection! It's a nice big area great for big groups! Can't wait to sit outside this spring. I didn't get any pics of the food but the chicken is amazing and the biscuits !! read more

This place is closed 3 hours before they were suppose to. It is Friday night I showed up in with a group of 6 at 10:45 and they told me they just did last call and online it says 1am. I was here on Memorial Day weekend as well and they stopped serving food at 7:30pm and did last call before dark. This place never honors the hours they post and I'm so tired of it. I will never be going back. read more

Food is great. Beer is great management is great(and the actually listen to their patrons) atmosphere is great. In case you haven't figured it out yet ITS GREAT read more

Blown away by this place. Food was exceptional as well as the craft tap selection. Lots of room inside and out, plenty of big screens to watch games. Even corn hole area. Really loved the Okie onion burger and the the Okie charcuterie board. Very clean and well run. read more

This place is great! The burger was excellent! The chicken and the fries were good as well. The service was FANTASTIC the food was out quickly. The vibes were nice and cozy. My only gripe is the okra was pretty meh. Otherwise perfect would recommend! read more

The Standard is a great new addition to Downtown Norman. There's a huge selection of beer on tap. And lots of space within which to claim a spot to hang. read more

We decided to try the standard. It was a Tuesday night so they were not that busy. We ordered chicken tenders, fried catfish, cheeseburger, and the mashed potato bowl. We also ordered some beers. The beer selection was great. Huge selection. Typical prices. The food was not that good. Under seasoned. A big problem for me was that it was so slow to get the food out. From the looks of it the chef was cooking the food then bringing it out, then going back in to start cooking the next order. If your wanting a place to go try lots of different kinds of beer and maybe eat something. It was good. If your wanting to go eat and maybe drink some beer then go elsewhere. read more

This place has potential. The building and location are great, buuuut it kind of stops there. The chicken strips were good. The wrap was exactly what you would expect...mid. The sandwich was fine. The customer service was hurried, blunt, and unwelcoming from three different workers-unfortunate. The service was also slow. Will probably not go back. read more

Amazing food! Service was great, will definitely be back! The fried chicken was the best I've ever had anywhere!

Been here for drinks a couple times and it's been good. First time coming for food and would not recommend it . The kitchen has been very very slow and several individuals seem frustrated/ have asked for a refund due to how long it has taken. The TV has been running the same ad over and over again for the last five minutes, driving me insane. Will try again one day but very frustrated right now. Update: just got my food - not worth the wait , won't be back to eat. To drink? Yes. read more

I've been twice to this restaurant. The first time the food was great although the space was incredibly noisy. The second time we thought maybe takeout would the way to go. I don't like to give bad reviews but the food tonight was not up to my standard. The curly fries tasted like detergent; I suspect the grease was old and on its way to rancid. The Cowboy caviar was overly acidic - vinegar and salt seemed to be the main ingredients. It needed some garlic, lime, tomato, onion and maybe a little red pepper in addition to the black-eyed peas and corn. The biscuits too lacked excellence. They were heavy and tasteless in spit of the cheese. On the other hand, although seriously understaffed, everyone was polite and cheerful. My order was ready when I got there and the young cashier tried to give me my order for free. The end read more

I have been here two times wanting to get fried chicken. First time was around 8:00pm on a Wednesday, second time was 6:30 on a Friday. Both times I was told that they are out of fried chicken. I was really wanting to like this place but at this point it's just a waste of time to come in. The beer is okay, food is mediocre, and the service is not good at all. They are constantly out of silverware and probably everything else you need. read more

Pretty good ! We ordered a 3 tender meal with fries, and a whole bird with lemon pepper seasoning, coleslaw and Mac n cheese. Everything was so good ! Took about 30 mins for a whole bird to come out but it was worth it. The coleslaw was different , tasted more like dill or cucumber. It wasn't bad but not was I was expecting. Overall everything was delish. read more

Atmosphere was good, great beer selection and I thought the food was good. I really liked the fried okra. The green tomatoes weren't good. I would have given a better rating but ordered a milkshake. In the time waiting for the milkshake people with me ordered and drank 2 beers. Went and asked about milkshake and was told she'd make it in a minute. Finally went and asked for a refund after 30 minutes. What went from a good experience and a definitely coming back attitude went to a probably won't be back because of how ridiculous the whole situation was. Other people got their floats that ordered after I did. Bad service. read more

I love chicken and consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. The Standard's fried chicken ranks up there with the best. Biscuit was also very good. The restaurant is in a old garage and they have done a good job with the space. Large beer selection focusing on OK breweries. This is now one of my favorite spots in Norman. read more

This is a regular on our list. Menu is not large But what they do they do very well. Mashed potato bowl is comfort food delux. Highly recommend this place. read more

Not a place I'd take the family back too. Decent Fried chicken, but way way way overpriced beer. One and done with the visits for me.

most of the people complaining here are probably mad they didn't get their food in less than five minutes. good place imo!

Zero. We were so disappointed. Cold food. Made yesterday? Tough chicken and poor quality fries. Didn't have the crimson and cream shake they advertised. Argued with me that it wasn't on the nenu. They advertised it on Facebook and instagram. read more

Walked up to the bar to order a drink... the guy behind the bar looked at me and said "What?" ... I order a drink on their menu they didn't have ingredients for... so I say it's meh read more

The food is great. The beer prices are absolutely insane. If you're coming for chicken wings, great, but if you're looking for beer, there's 15 other places in walking distance with great beer for half the price. It's unreal how this place gets away with their beer prices. 10oz run of the mill IPA pours for $9.50. read more

There are a lot of bitter people out there that you can't make happy no matter what you do. The place was good. Beer selection was good and wings were good. Cool spot go check it out read more

Loved this place! Chicken was cooked to golden perfection and okra was hand breaded. Loved the picnic style dining. Makes it impossible not to meet new people. IPA's were a good selection also. Not a "quiet" restaurant/bar, but great to watch games on the big screens. Outdoor area was great for kids! read more

Great spot for big parties, tons of beer options and a great casual dining experience. Good drinking food, nothing amazing but gets the job done. read more

Ordered a margarita. The well tequila was so bad that I couldn't drink it. Told the girl at the counter and she said 'sorry. That's the well for you'. Not helpful. read more

We go with friends so that is the big draw. Sunday it was nice. Food was so so but the service was awesome! Despite the many beer offerings i found myself having to blend beers to get one I liked. We returned on Thurs for trivia night. The acoustics are horrible. My ears are still ringing but had a hard time understanding anything the host said. She wasn't charismatic at all and seemed to take forever between rounds. The food was subpar! Burger was ok. Fries good. The fried green tomatoes were HORRIBLE. I was so excited to get them and they tasted only of grease, breading and something very spicy. What a waste, I couldn't even finish one! The worst part is when we got home we smelled it... we smelled like we worked the fryer at a fast food restaurant. Nasty! My friend got a brownie. It was fresh, fresh out of the freezer! Flavor was good but a cold brownie is not what i expected at a restaurant. Again, the best part it is a convenient meeting place for our friends but I'll eat elsewhere and find a different trivia venue. The bartenders on Sundays are your best bet if you want a more positive experience. The Standard needs to raise their standards. read more

Great service, the burgers are excellent. Staff is friendly and it is a vibrant atmosphere

Norman's first family friendly indoor-outdoor space with a modern vibe and country fixings. The fried chicken Cobb salad was a treat and my kids loved the mashed potato bowl. My husband liked the fried catfish and queso/chips. The prices were also family friendly. You order at the counter so that makes it easy to go here with a large group. Happy to see so many local options on the beer list! read more

Food was not great- had the Mac and cheese special. The fried chicken was barely edible, weird chewy texture. Other food was barely warm and not very good. read more

I was surprised to read some of these reviews. I had the burger, and it was fantastic. I had fried okra instead of fries and it was so crisp and tasty. The beer selection was wonderful and the setting was so comfortable! We are definitely going back! read more

We loved it here! Cool space, the food was great and the staff was very friendly.

This is the restaurant and beer garden we have all been waiting for in Norman! The open concept by turning the former Norman Bodywoks into a collaborative and community focused space was done perfectly - so glad the building was restored into something we can all enjoy. The food is also AMAZING (I had the fried chicken with honey glaze, mashed potatoes, fried okra, and biscuits). Kiddos loved their burger and chicken tenders. Great place for kids to play as well while enjoying a locally crafted beer. Will definitely be coming back often...HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

GREAT burger and fries green tomatoes!! Cool clean atmosphere, great place for adults and kids to have a nice evening. Lots of space to run around. I see us here, a lot. read more

This place is so fun and the food is awesome!! Loved everything about it and such a fun gathering spot to hang out and enjoy with friends or family! read more

The Standard is just what Norman needed! The food and atmosphere are solid. I had the chicken wings with buffalo sauce and okra and was very happy with both. They have a huge selection of local beers as well. Take your kids and let them run around while you relax! read more
