    Burger
    James M.

    Was told we had a 30 minute wait, got in in 20. Large restaurant, with an extensive menu of food from salads to chicken or beef burgers. Food was made to order, and came out in a timely manner. Pricing was really reasonable ($-$$). Burger taste great, fresh and well flavored. I would give the place a 8.5/10. Plenty of seating inside, and upstairs and well lit inside.

    Eskimo Joe's and myself go way back. Bottom line: pepper bacon cheese fries are the best item on the menu. The little joe cheeseburger w/cheese is my go to and It would be a major mistake if you didn't at least split it with someone special. The service is "college" so if you tip them early on, it will be top notch for the rest of the experience. As far as overall interior/aesthetic goes: it's college town rural America. Vibes are extremely high. I suggest arriving 30 minutes before your reservation because it's always busy. Go Pokes.

    Eskimo Joe's turns 50 years old this year. We had to go and celebrate my wife's 50th birthday celebration today there. She got a nice little gift bag of different items and a fancy Eskimo Joe's 50th anniversary T-shirt along with her free meal and a birthday sundae. It was a twenty minute wait for our group but it wasn't packed but it was busy for a nice lunchtime break. The waiter's were very friendly and took care of everyone's meals fast. I got the Swiss and mushroom burger with their fries. It was a nice delicious meal. One thing I noticed walking up to the restaurant was the smell of the charbroiled burgers being cooked. It was a nice appetizer starter just with that. We all had a great time and enjoyed the time out.

    We sat at the bar and had chili fries and a couple local beers. Love that you get a souvenir cup with each draft!!

    Great marketing/branding, but the food was very average. The restaurant inside has a lot of character and they have been around for 50 years. This was my first visit, I ordered the Little Joe with fries. Since the server described it like a White Castle burger I also ordered a little Joe with chili. These burgers were definitely not like a white castle in taste or size; they are the size of a McDonald's regular hamburger and are not cooked in butter & onions. The little Joe with chili was their regular hamburger on a plate covered in a mountain of chili. Needless to say, I could not eat all of this. The burgers were very average tasting as was their beanless chili. The fries were good, though there were too many small pieces. They do have a full bar. Draft beer is basically all domestic swill, with the good crafts being served in cans only.

    Anytime I can be in Stillwater, Eskimo Joe's is on my list. I arrived before opening so I had to purchase a couple of t-shirts. The staff was great, as usual. Cooper was my server today and he was very attentive. I ordered the Fire Burger that was topped with Pepper-Jack cheese, jalapeño peppers and spicy hot buffalo wing sauce. I had their homemade fries. The place was clean. Highly recommended.

    Stillwater, Oklahoma Always wanted to come here and finally made it. Let's see what the hype is all about. There were three people working the hostess stand at 1:15 on a Monday. We had a 20 minute wait for a table. I asked the hostess if we could sit upstairs as it was very cold downstairs. They were very accommodating and kind. I asked to see a menu, and when I went to return the menu, they asked me what I thought I was going to get. They even offered a few suggestions. As busy as that front area is, I am thrilled to see the kindness of all of the members at the hostess stand. Special shout out to Kloee for her care and kindness. We were seated upstairs and our waiter is Lance. A quiet guy. But don't be fooled. He is incredibly nice and very concerned about making you happy. I explained I had an allergy and he went back to the kitchen, came back out to tell me that the manager has taken it upon himself to make my meal so that there would be no cross-contamination After the food was delivered. He immediately came to see how things were. Genuinely kind, concerned, helpful waiter. I would love to have him as my waiter any day. Thanks Lance! We started with the infamous cheese fries. They were loaded with hot gooey cheese. The potatoes are cut with the skin still on. They're delicious, but eat them fast. When they get cold, they lose their fun flavor. They are served with a side of ranch dressing. The restaurant is mainly stone and wood. Stone walls, wood floor, wood tables. Lots of orange, yellow and blue flags and balloons in the restaurant. Not sure if this is standard or a special occasion for the month of January. Light music, but not too loud. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with sautéed mushrooms as my side dish. My husband ordered the burger with cheese. He ordered it with a side of mac & cheese. There is a one dollar up charge for both of our sides. However, we did not want fries, beans, applesauce, coleslaw. Those things come at no extra charge. The buffalo chicken sandwich is very saucy. I dare say too much. The sauce does not taste like buffalo wings sauce, but more like a red hot sauce with pepper seasoning, Lots of pepper seasoning. The chicken is a bit dry. The bun is served cold. I think a suggestion to grill it would make the sandwich much better. It was accompanied with lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomato. The sautéed mushrooms are good. Definitely sautéed in butter and red wine. My only concern is they were on the cold side. The cheeseburger was average. Nothing special about it. Neither good, nor bad. The mac & cheese is not worth the extra money to order. Overall, the best part of the meal would be the cheese fries. Although the food overall was not my favorite, I would definitely come back if I were in the area. Big thank you to the staff that I encountered. They made my experience all that more enjoyable.

    Bacon Cheese Fries
    Ashley R.

    Eskimo Joes does bar food right! Always have the best service while we are there even if it's packed! The bacon cheese fries never disappoint they were so good. Decided to try a chicken sandwich instead of their awesome burgers. The Fowl Thing sandwich was super good. The chicken breast was cooked perfectly and seasoned very nice. Cade was our server and he was so nice and friendly. Very attentive and got us what we needed promptly. I honestly can't say enough great things about this local Stilly gem.

    Who doesn't love Stillwater......As an OSU fan in deed. We drove from OKC just to eat and shop at Eskimo Joe's. HAPPENED AFTER WE WON......LOL Seated fast in the main area to eat. Lunch time during the week. First for service.....could of been better. Young Waitress seemed in super hurry! Everytime she came to table! I ordered the bacon hamburger and was pleased. Daughter had a chicken sandwich but they forgot the pineapple. We had to flag Waitress down and she came with a very sad SMALL pineapple circle for a good size sandwich. The star was the smothered fries with cheese and bacon. Not just normal bacon but so good and sweet. They are a must have for sure. Cups cute as always. Shopping area still very nice. Lost Creek petting zoo close by for summer visits. Not sure We would drive just to eat here again but if your in area....for sure.

    This was my very first time to eat at an Eskimo Joes. I am a long time wearer of their tee shirts. In my 20s and 30s, I had relatives going to OSU. Each Christmas, I would get a new E J tee shirt. About the time one sister in law graduated, another would start. After years of advising for them by wearing their T shirts, I finally had lunch at Eskimo Joe's. I learned a lot today. All these years, I have been laboring with the false idea that Eskimo Joes is a pizza place. No pizza. It's more of a burger place. Move it in day is probably not the best day to evaluate the restaurant. We were there to help our grandson get moved in to his dorm. The university was packed with students and their parents, grandchildren, and grandparents helping them get moved in to their dorm. We knew wherever we had lunch, there would be a long wait. At least we got to spend our wait time in their merchandise room. It gave us something to do. Today was my first time to get cheese fries. It's never sounded good to me someone else ordered them and I discovered fries make a better base for nachos than chips. My husband and grandson got classic burgers, my daughter got a blackened chicken dinner, and my son in law and I got Little Joe burgers. I had decided that the classic burger is a better deal because it comes with fries and lettuce and tomatoes. I like small burgers but I have to have lettuce and tomatoes. My Little Joe burger had no lettuce and tomato ... just meat and a bun. My son in law explained that he gets the Little Joe because it has onions cooked into the meat. I decided he was right. The meat in a little Joe does taste much better. I had a bite of my husband's classic and the onion cooked with the meat is much better. My grandson took his lettuce and tomato off his classic because he doesn't like lettuce and tomato on his burgers. He gave it to me, so I was happy. The blackened chicken was too salty and not spicy enough. The French fries were greasy and not good. We ate them, anyway. It might be that they are much better when the restaurant is not as busy. I will give them another try. We will be going to Stillwater frequently to see take our grandson to lunch. I will post an update on the fries.

    Joe's Classic Burger

    Move in day for grandson OSU freshman. Lunch time. Iconic OSU hangout near campus. After a 30 min wait got seated. Waiter advised us that kitchen was way understaffed and the soda machine is broken. Finally got our food. Burger was pretty good but the fries had definitely been under the heat lamp waaay too long. Grandson says he'll start exploring for other dining options next time we visit.

    We got the bacon on the side.

    We were visiting from Los Angeles taking a weeklong professional development course at OSU and naturally we had to come and check out Eskimo Joe's. There's a fun ambiance and I can just imagine what coming here with your family or a group of friends is like on game day. Food was pretty spot on for a sports bar. I got a mushroom burger and their famous fries. Service was the best thing about this place. We had a wonderful waiter who was very friendly and personable.

Lately, though, it's clear that whatever made this place special has been pushed aside, if not completely forgotten. The sudden disappearance of your bartenders is baffling. Turnover is normal in a college town, sure, but this wasn't a natural shift, it feels like a purge. The heart and personality of the place left with them. What's left behind feels generic, transactional, and hollow. Then there's the decision to go cashless. I'm not sure who thought that was a good idea, but it's incredibly tone-deaf. It's inconvenient, exclusionary, and says more about your priorities than you probably realize. For a place that used to feel local and grounded, it now feels like it's trying to be something it's not, and failing. Willie's had something rare, real character, built over decades. Watching it unravel this quickly is disappointing, to say the least. We won't be back, and that's not something we say lightly. Good luck, truly. But maybe think about what made people come here in the first place. And who.

Everyone knows the Tumbleweed or "The Weed" as people call it. Heck, my parents used to go here when they were in college. Apparently it was bumpin' back then. Not so much now. Even though my experience happened like... four years ago, I still remember it like it was yesterday. A big group of girls from floor 3 of Village C (the journalism floor) headed on out here to go club. I think all of us had, well, never been clubbing before and well, what were we expecting in the middle of nowheresville Oklahoma? My then-friend, a Chicago girl by the name of Carolyn S. came with me and we were horrified when we walked in after giving the bouncer $7 each, to get in. We walked inside to see the bouncers carrying a girl, like a baby, out of the club. I don't know if she had been on E or was just that ridiculously drunk. I can still see her head flopped back in my mind. Scary. Well, now that that was over, we walked into a completely smoke filled room - picture the bar from the movie My Cousin Vinny and this is what it looked like. Smoke so thick you could cut it with a knife and pool tables everywhere. Ugh. The dance floor was teeny tiny, filled with only girls and I was not having it when some girl on my floor trying to dance up on me. I don't swing that way. I don't think there were even 5 guys sitting around the dance floor with country playing. It was really the last straw for me. After 7 minutes in that hell hole, I called up a guy who lived on my floor back at the dorms and demanded he come save Carolyn and me. Within 10 minutes of my call, I was sitting in the middle seat of his truck, with all the windows down, with him complaining how we smelled like ashtrays. NEVER AGAIN!
