I debated between a four- and five-star rating, but overall this was still a five-star experience…read more This was my second visit, and I returned because I remembered having the best steak I'd ever eaten here. While this steak wasn't quite as impressive, it was a bit tougher than I'd hoped, the flavor was still phenomenal, with a great smoky, straight-off-the-grill taste. Our server, Gracie, was fantastic: friendly, helpful, and accommodating to our large party. We ordered several appetizers and enjoyed most of them, though the cornbread was noticeably dry according to several people at the table. The coconut pineapple margarita was a standout and well worth ordering. The tropical flavors were delicious, and the coconut rim was a great touch. I also loved my salad, especially the tomatoes, which were surprisingly flavorful. For my entrée, the steak was cooked well and paired nicely with the mashed potatoes. Although the texture kept it from matching my first visit, it was still very enjoyable. One thing we really enjoyed was the atmosphere. We were seated in a room toward the back near the wine cellar, adjacent to a pond outside. It ended up being a great spot because we could watch people enjoying the outdoor area throughout the evening. The restaurant struck a nice balance, it felt upscale and welcoming without being overly quiet. Our group was able to be a little loud and goofy without feeling out of place, which made the experience even more fun. What ultimately secured the five-star rating was dessert. I can't remember its name, but it's pictured in the photo. It was enormous and absolutely incredible, one of the best desserts I've ever had and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. The steak wasn't quite as tender as I remembered, but the excellent service, great drinks, solid appetizers, enjoyable atmosphere, and outstanding dessert made for a wonderful experience.

I decided to treat myself today and ordered the Wagyu steak, expecting it to be something special…read more Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Another person in my group also ordered the Wagyu steak, and we both felt the same way--it was not good at all. For a $51 steak, I expected excellent quality, but instead it tasted like something you could buy at a dollar store. I ended up leaving hungry because I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I do want to recognize the staff. Our server was a very polite young man who provided excellent service, and the hostess was welcoming and hospitable. In the end, my bill was around $60 because I decided to splurge on myself today. It's disappointing to spend that much money only to end up wasting it on a steak I couldn't eat. I truly hope the restaurant takes another look at the quality of its Wagyu steak because it did not live up to its price.

Our service and meal were absolutely fantastic. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she took care of our group of about 12 in the back room and was on top of everything all night. She was so kind, patient, and willing to repeat things when needed, which is huge when you have that many people trying to get attention at once. She even thanked us for coming in, which was such a sweet touch. The food was amazing. She accidentally brought out an extra side of squash puppies and let us keep them, so I tried them even though I hadn't ordered them. Let me tell you, you HAVE to order them. They were absolutely divine, and the butter and jam they come with are incredible. I started with a salad, which was also very good, and then ordered the chicken bruschetta based on our server's recommendation. The Brussels sprouts were insane, so flavorful and easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. The bruschetta was delicious too, and I ended up eating almost all of it. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would recommend Pub W to anyone. The back room was the perfect spot for our large group and had such a fun, relaxed vibe. We'll definitely be back the next time work brings us to Norman!

The food scene comparatively means the TX is better OK by a landslide. Why? The immigrants, duh! They put their soul and soles into their cooking and this place was a nice change of pace from what I normally get. But here's the low down. You cannot do two specials at once, why? Because... they're specials. You're not meant to combine them with other things. So get over that. Our server Ryan was awesome and patient with us and explained what we wanted to know so here it is! Ayce special is basically $48 per person. They say one but they also do let you know about their automatic gratuity that is included. The entire table has to do it because dishonest people have taken that mile by ordering one thing and then their friends get the ayce and give their friends more food... so we reap what they sowed. It sucks but get over it. It's 1.5 pounds per round of seafood. So order what you want and do not waste, if you do it's $15 per pound of waste that they charge extra just in case. We took the special blend, medium spice, and had plenty of crab legs, mussels, shrimp head on and off, and sides. Eggs aren't included but they're $2.50 for 2. It comes with 2 potatoes and 1 corn per order but you can order more. We had a great time, though the only thing I could say that the food needs a tad more seasoning. Like a little acid and a little more umami. Maybe more garlic but it was an 8/10 for me. Would we come again and feel sick to our stomach? Yes. Would we bring my family? Also yes.

I guess I beat the crowd since it wasn't terribly busy , but there were several tables with families. When I left though , the parking lot and the restaurant was full then. Good timing for me. My waitress was Olivia and she was very attentive and informative since I told her it was my first time. She answered questions and brought me a refill before I had to ask for one and gave me a sweet tea to go when I paid the bill. Now for the food. I had the Chicken Fried Steak on top of Texas Toast , Mashed Potatoes , White Gravy on both , Green Beans , Sweet Tea , and the Complimentary Croissant with Butter. The Chicken Fried Steak came out perfect , not too thick not too thin , good breading , hot , and the gravy was pretty good. It was on a piece of Texas Toast which I'm not used too , but it was fine. Mashed Potatoes were thick , not too creamy , and good. The gravy went well with both and I did add some pepper since I like mine more peppery . Green Beans , well they threw me off. I was trying to find out what the strange flavor was in them and I had to ask Olivia. She told me it was Sugar , what ? I knew I was tasting sweet and thought it was Honey which would also be kind of weird in Green Beans. I saw little pieces of Onions and she told me they use Bacon and Sugar and I think Butter. When I make Green Beans I use Garlic Salt and Butter and sometimes Bacon , but not Sugar. Complimentary Croissant was just okay , but I would've preferred a Yeast Roll with Cinnamon Butter. Sweet Tea was just right also. I'm originally from South Carolina and sometimes back home it's really sweet , but as I've gotten older I like it a little toned down , but not under sweet. I talked to Olivia about the Baby Back Ribs and will be back to give those a try and maybe bring my Son and his Wife with me. The restaurant was clean and organized and the staff was friendly. I also got a Veteran Discount which I appreciate. I would recommend to anyone if they've never tried a Cheddar's.
