I've been away from Oklahoma City for a while, so I was genuinely excited to come back and try some…read morenew spots. This place isn't your typical brunch destination at first glance, but that actually made me even more interested in giving it a try.
Parking is street parking only. It is not the worst situation, but depending on the time of day you might need to drive around a little before finding an open spot. It is manageable, just don't expect to pull right up to the door unless you get lucky.
Once we walked inside, my party was greeted almost immediately. We were seated quickly, and the space had a warm, inviting feel. It struck a nice balance between classic and modern, almost like a hidden gem that still has a polished, slightly upscale atmosphere.
It felt familiar and comfortable, but still special enough for a weekend brunch. Our server was friendly and attentive. He checked on us several times, but always timed it well so it never felt like he was interrupting the conversation or the flow of the meal.
I ordered the Okie Breakfast along with the Hot Stack Waffles. The standout item on the plate was the soft scrambled eggs. I usually don't think too much about restaurant eggs one way or the other, but these were genuinely delicious, even without cheese. They were creamy, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. Honestly, I don't think I've had scrambled eggs at a restaurant this good before. The brunch potatoes were equally impressive, seasoned well and cooked to that perfect balance of crispy edges and soft centers.
The bacon and sausage didn't quite hit the same level for me. They were fine, but not memorable. The bacon could have used a little more time on the grill to give it a crispier texture instead of the softer bite it had. The sausage links were acceptable but didn't add anything special to the dish. They felt more like standard breakfast sausage rather than something that elevates the plate.
I was really looking forward to the bacon biscuits and gravy, especially since most places serve it with sausage gravy instead.
Unfortunately, this part of the meal fell short. The biscuits were quite thick, and the gravy itself felt a little too light. I think the dish would have tasted much better if the biscuits had been split open, buttered, and had the gravy poured over both halves so the flavor could soak in. Instead, it leaned on the dry side, even though there was gravy on the plate.
As for the Hot Stack Waffles, they surprised me. The first few bites were absolutely delicious, but after that I noticed a caramelization on the outside that made them extremely sweet. It almost tasted like candy, which gave me a bit of a sugar overload. Without syrup, the sweetness was already intense, and with syrup it became too much for my taste. The texture was nice and smooth, but the sweetness was stronger than what I usually look for in waffles.
Drinks were exactly what you'd expect. It's hard to go wrong with champagne and juice, and they were simple, refreshing, and enjoyable.
Overall, I had a nice experience. The service was good, the environment felt comfortable, and there were definitely some standout parts of the meal, especially the eggs and potatoes. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to return during my next visit to Oklahoma City, but I do think it is worth trying at least once if you are local or nearby. There is potential here, and depending on what you order, you might walk away very happy.
