First of all, I am not from Lawton. I lived here from '98 to '05 and come back from time to time to…read moresee relatives and old friends. I was here recently and low and behold, I found this gem. The Side Bar is a true diamond in the rough of what is Lawton, Oklahoma. The owner(s) is definitely not a local and why he would live here is beyond me. BUT the ambiance, decor, and cosmopolitan look is very well done and stands up with any great bar in Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville. It's only when the clientele open their mouths do you realize, "yup, I'm still in Lawton, Oklahoma." The bartenders are not just cute but actually were attentive (more so than many places in Dallas) and, considering it is Lawton, Oklahoma, know what a Manhattan is as well as an Old Fashioned. Unfortunately they served without rye but I don't hold it against them (looking at you management/owner) because I was immediately told about it. I'm looking forward to asking for a sazerac or a cosmopolitan on my next visit so hopefully they have the goods. The only issue I had with the staff (IF he is on the payroll) was some idiot who treated the music as his own personal playlist; diverse clientele be damned. Even the bartenders were annoyed at him but he straightened up once the owner was on site. Also, there is a lot of smoke/vaping but I give that a pass since, well, it is Lawton, Oklahoma. PROS: Atmosphere; diverse crowd; attentive bartenders who knew how to make a drink without googling it; owner seems cool CONS: CASH ONLY (but there is an ATM just outside); may be out of liquor for classic cocktails; smoking/vaping; idiot wannabe DJ In closing: I would have given a 5 star if the liquor was stocked (in spite of the idiot dj). BUT I will be back again and have already recommended to the locals I know there

I've been to Duncan a few times on business but never have stopped here to eat. I finally had a…read morechance to give this place a try. First, its inside the casino so if you don't like that type of setting then you may not like this place. Its not its own room but rather a raised up section in the center of the casino. I didn't mind that aspect but the one issue you do have is the casino is a smoking facility so there is no way to escape the smoke if you are a non-smoker. For that reason alone I knock off a star since I'm not a smoker. I was here on a Sunday night so there was nobody else eating in the restaurant. The service was very good, but then again its easy to sever a party of 1. The menu has a lot of good options but I went with the Pulled Pork plater with a side of mac n cheese and onion rings. The BBQ was pretty good. It was good well and had a great flavor to it. The mac n cheese and onion rings were also good. I've had better but these were certainly acceptable. Overall, I would go back but would also have to take into account who might be with me as not everyone is going to be able to tolerate the smoke atmosphere.

I took my family to Aces on a Sunday afternoon about 1:00 p.m. & just like the previous review said…read morethat they are located in the center of the casino, open concept, & no "no smoking" section. None of us smoke so if you cannot get past this, do not go here. We first ordered the chips and salsa ($4). This was the only thing that we did not like. The salsa you could tell was made with fresh tomatoes but it did not have any seasoning in it at all. It could of used onions, cilantro, a mild jalapeño, and salt. Three people in our party order the chicken fried steak meal ($11) and one person ordered chicken fried chicken ($10). Each of our meals came with two sides, you can chose what you want. They automatically come with homemade mash potatoes & white gravy, green beans, and texas toast (it is more like regular toast). Between all of us we chose mash potatoes, green beans, regular salad (with amazing homemade ranch), caesar salad, beer batter fries, & fried okra. All of us where very happy with our selections. The chicken fried steak is HUGE!!! None of our steaks had any gristle in it!!!!Our server Linda was great. Our water glasses never were empty and she was very helpful with her honesty on selections of food and sides. Toward the end of our meal, the manager came over and checked on us. My daughter was told that there is not any good place to eat in Duncan and I highly recommend Aces. My husband said out of all the casinos that we have eaten at before, this is by far the BEST!!!!
