The decor is very nice, with calming low lights and floral walls. Our waiter was excellent and helpful. We were thrilled to see Bar Sen's chef was a nominee for the James Beard "Best Chef" award...an elite international honor. We will certainly return! You should too!

    Bar Sen was easily one of the best meals I've ever had and to find this gem in OKC was even better!…read moreHonestly, probably the best Lao food I've ever had in my life. Everything we ordered was incredible and you could tell how much thought and care went into every single dish. What really stood out was how creative and carefully crafted everything felt. The Asian-inspired flavors were unique and elevated without ever being overpowering. Every ingredient seemed intentional, and the flavors complemented each other so well. It felt like a modern and creative take on Lao cuisine while still highlighting the flavors that make the food so special. Foods tried: - Fried Calamari: SO frikkin amazing. flavors were a mix of salty, umami, lime, spiced. high recommended by our lovely waitress who was so spot on about this recommendation - Khao Piek Sen (Lao Chicken noodle soup). THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR EVENING. I actually can't stop thinking about how amazing this was. Think the absolute best chicken noodle soup you've had in your life with the best handmade thick tapioca like noodles. - Yum Sen Lawn (Glass Noodle Salad): very refreshing and nice for a hot OKC day. - Pandan Cinnamon Roll. Good! Pandan flavor was there but cinnamon definitely overpowered a bit, still delicious overall. On top of the AMAZING food, the service was just as wonderful. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience that much better. 5/5 without a doubt. Bar Sen is an absolute gem in OKC and a must-try if you appreciate thoughtfully prepared Asian cuisine. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

They don't take reservations which gave me pause, but when we arrived around 6 PM there were a couple of 2-tops available along with bar seating. We chose the bar which gave us an excellent view of the kitchen. It wasn't long though until all the seating was taken. It's a lively place with a high energy vibe. We started with a couple of beers. I chose the Parrie "PAA PAA" Japaneese rice larger beer. It was light and mildly distinctive. Jan selected Lao Gold, another rice larger. It was light with floral hints. We enjoyed both brews. We ordered the double fried chicken wings to share ($14). They come seasoned with red curry fish sauce, shallots and herbs. They were excellent. We also ordered sticky rice ($4) and charred green chili dipping sauce ($2). Loved the dipping sauce, the flavor and the heat was just right. I was taking the sticky rice and breaking it into chunks and dipping it into the green chili sauce. Nice! We also ordered beef skewers ($15) to share, two to an order. Loved the skewers. As I was eating my skewer, I was thinking that I should had got my own order. Our server/ bartender did a good job. All the staff was friendly and helpful. It did get a little noisy, but it never interfered with our conversation. Everything is ala carte. The prices are moderate.

Even though weather was pretty warm, we enjoyed sitting outside under the covered patio. Food: everything was delicious. Be warned, though, the original papaya salad at "light spice" is incredibly spicy, even for a thai person. Sai Oua (sausage) is exactly how it should taste and I loved this nice little side dish. One star off for service - not only was the service really really slow (had to walk inside to ask for the server to come out and take our order), but we ordered the fried chicken and never received it because our server forgot to put in our order. So sad, especially since the fried chicken is supposed to go with our salads and sticky rice we ordered! And the fact that we don't plan on coming back to OKC in the near future. Street parking wasn't that hard for us during late lunch hours.

I noticed a lady sitting on the patio last time eating some beautiful fried chicken and I decided to inquire....."Hello, ma'am. Do you mind if I ask how the chicekn tastes?" She enthusiastically replied that she loves the chicken at Pub W and that is her go to for fried chicken. What an awesome recommendation. Incredibly flavorful, crispy and came with the perfect mashed potatoes and fresh green beans with roasted bell pepper. The service here is over the top friendly, conversational and a delight! We had the squashpuppies again and they were as awesome as last time. The waitress indicated that ceviche was the special that day and I regret not trying it. Next time!

Tuesday and Thursday (if I understood correctly) the special is a Ruben Sandwich (I love Ruben's). So I ordered the Ruben and since I was debating between that and the fish and chips the hubby got fish and chips (Thats love right there ya'll!!!!) I am SUPER picky about fish and chips batter and I will say I could have been very happy eating the offering. Great batter, light and crispy. A little greasy but I like and expect that :) the fries are of the coated variety, but they came very crisp and hot and were good! I would have the fish and chips again in a heart beat. The Ruben was solid, I am unusual to many in that I don't like a lot of smoke in my meat. It was a little too smokey for me, but I know for some that will be a selling point. The meat was super flavorful and sooooooo tender! It was fantastic in spite of all the smoke lol. The rye is a milder lighter rye, so factor that into your palate as well. The appeared to have done a great job draining the kraut too because my sandwich did not become soggy like many a Ruben before! Solid choice, give it a try. There are a majillion-bjillion-and-one TV's in this place. For a Pub that makes sense, and in Oklahoma it's tough to find any restaurant without t.v.'s it seems.. But if you are looking for that atmosphere they have you covered (it's a draw back for me but so common I don't knock anyone down for it really, especially here where it's expected). The restaurant was super clean and nice, music wasn't so loud you couldn't hear your table partner speak and all that so that was good. Our server was also super nice and kept us updated on our orders pending arrival (which was timely). When seated you are immediately given a cold jug of water by the hostess which is a really nice touch in this 100+degree weather! And if you are a Stonecloud Neon Sunshine beer lover like my hubby... it's on TAP! (the only way to drink it). Pub W seems to be a solid choice and I would absolutely put it in our restaurant rotation for now. We don't really have the budget to go out all the time, so, putting it on the list of solids is a big deal in this family. They had a large beverage menu if you up for imbibing. One day I will go back and try something as quite a few options sounded intriguing. (but I rarely imbibe). Enjoy :)

    We wanted a casual Sunday night dinner. We had not been to Eddies in Chisholm Creek in Oklahoma…read moreCity. We were thrilled to enjoy quite a variety of food types on their menu. I had a great grilled chicken and avocado sandwich. My friend had a personal pizza. My husband had a very good Cobb Salad with chicken. That looked like a terrific choice. They also had a variety of hamburgers and pastas. Great menu! Eddies had lots of TV monitors & a covered patio where each table fir 4 had its own TV monitor.

After 40 minutes I finally asked my server to physically go check on it. She disappeared into the kitchen for 10 minutes, then came back with the manager. Turns out my server had rung in a cocktail instead of my salad. Fine -- mistakes happen. What's not fine is that the manager's solution was to ask me to pay the difference because the salad cost more. I'd been sitting there for an hour. I said no thanks, cancel the order. On my way out I overheard the manager tell the bartender "don't worry about it" -- apparently already moving on while I was still standing there with no food and no apology. I turned around and confirmed my card wasn't charged. Left after an hour. Hungry. And no putting Eddies on the Do Not Go Back list. Went to RR and had a RR salad. Belly happy!!!

    It's popular. It's got history & tradition…read more It's loud on loud. And it's fun! You mention Stillwater and most anyone knows the Eskimo Joe's brand. This place is as Okie State as anywhere in town, with multiple levels and people EVERYWHERE. Want to visit on a fall Saturday game day? Yeah, so does everyone else. But Eskimo Joe's is big enough to handle a LOT of people, what with multi-tiers and decks to accommodate those crowds. I can't imagine what the fire marshal has to go through when assessing the place, but hey, they serve good bar & grille food and plenty of drinks, so those are wins, right? Find a seat - often 'open' seating during those busy-busy times - and you'll have a screen sightline in any direction. Sportsball is everywhere, and with numerous bars in different areas, you don't have to go far to get a drink. The menu has some, uh, college-friendly eats, like Frito-pies & smothered fries, big burgs, & more, like the Messy Pig, a delicious disaster of a pulled pork sandwich. It's not exactly that heart-smart variety, but YOLO, and they do have plenty of light fare. Grab a beer in their recognizable plastic cups and just kick back and enjoy. The food is good, the drink prices are fair, and the atmosphere is more than just Joe College. Service comes at you from all directions but you're free to sidle up and get your drinks wherever you find an open spot. Happy hour runs afternoons Mon-Fri and the service staff will tell you that every day is 'fry day', suggesting fries smothered with goodies. You're likely not parking right in front of EJ's, but that is kind of the mystique. Also, don't miss a run through their branded merch store because the Eskimo Joe's logo is fairly well-represented everywhere. Yes, it's a 'bar' and yes it's loud, but soak up that college-y vibe at one of the premier spots in Stillwater.

Plentiful seating. We ordered a set of onion rings/zucchini sticks that were very good. For our main meal, I had a Sweet Pepper Bacon Cheeseburger and my wife had a Turkey Malt. Both were good. Turkey was a tad dry but was otherwise tasty. The VERY BEST was our server! She was a student at the university with a great background working with horses her whole life. Nicest young lady we could have met on this trip. Will definitely be back to Eskimo Joe's next year while in Stillwater.

The appetizer we order based on the waiter suggestion was a sloppy culinary mess, not one person in this group of 6 could eat it. With much delay again, we placed our orders, the salad I order came incorrectly, I orders and spinach salad and received a caesar salad; they forgot the salad my friend ordered until after the main course came and she had to remind the waiter who had not placed that order at all. My husband had to wait 20 minutes for an ice tea refill, my friend was not able to place order for a 2nd beer for about the same time because the waiter would just not come back to check on our table. The caesar salad I ended up eating did taste good, the pizza was decent. The waiter did take the dips off our checks because we sent it back, so I appreciated his responsibility with this. It was a very disappointing experience, 2 of our friends drove from Norman to meet us here and we are not able to see each other often. The ambiance was also very loud and hard to have a conversation without speaking very loud. I do not recommend and will not go back to this restaurant.
