When you want a small bar feel and people just want to hang out. This is the best place in town.

Two or three times a year we go to the strip before or after home football games and go to Willies…read more Not sure what has changed but the prices are higher and a college kid wanted to wand me prior to entering. I am a 65 year old man with a cane. It will be a minute before we return.

We've been coming to Willie's for over 20 years. It used to be one of the few places in town that…read morefelt consistent, not just in service, but in spirit. 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.

Good was great. Wait staff was amazing and the store was great also. Love Eskimo Joe'sread more

If you grew up in Oklahoma, then you likely know about the famous Eskimo Joe's. My family went here…read morefor dinner on New Years Eve - we thought we'd encounter a huge wait like we have in the past, but surprisingly they were able to sit us right away. I do recommend checking the waitlist they have on their website if you plan to dine here - it just gives you a good idea of how long the wait will be and you can also add your party to the waitlist before you arrive so you aren't just standing around waiting for 30 minutes to an hour, this location gets pretty packed some nights. The restaurant itself is pretty big, it's been the same for as long as I can remember and I like that about it. It isn't super trendy or chic, it's got the wooden floors and pool tables and it just reminds me of Oklahoma if that makes sense at all. Our server was super nice, he was on top of everything and had a great attitude. I ordered the frito chili pie - mostly for the fact that I live in Florida now and I don't know of anywhere else that I can order that, it's a nostalgic thing for me for sure. I also had a side cesar salad - no complaints there either. The food has always been good for every time I've visited here. You have to check out the gift shop as well while you're here - you can't go to Eskimo Joe's and not bring home a cup, or shirt, or sweater, or koosie showing the world that you've been there lol The gift shop really is one of our favorite parts about eating here. Our kitchen cabinet has stacks of these Eskimo Joe's cups (which is great for a house with kids) and every member of the family has an Eskimo Joe's shirt...we love it here and will definitely be back.

Oh my God. I had my first clubbing experience here when I was 19, going to school at OSU - I'm not…read moresure if it was fall semester of '06 or spring of '07 but wow, what a horrible experience. 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!

The positives: Zanotti's was nice but very busy. The waiters…read morewere all very nice and helpful. Pizzas were yummy. Plenty for one person, maybe 1 1/2 if you aren't starving. We tried the basil pesto & goat cheese crostini and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were amazing! The negatives: It was a little loud, but not unbearable sitting by a wall. I would not love if I had to sit in the middle of the room. Getting seated was also difficult, as they did not have a host stand, so we just waited by the door. My least favorite part of the evening was when we were trying to pay. They were just holding the handheld machine, so we could not take our time looking at the bill and filling out the tip. The presets were something like 20%, 25%, and 30% tips. I am not opposed to tipping that much if we received above and beyond service, but that felt very pushy for such a nice place.

This place is a vibe. I love the decor and live music nights…read more Their food, though a bit pricey, is quite good, as are their drinks. I came here a couple times when I was pregnant and got great mocktails, too. My husband got the smoked old-fashioned and really enjoyed it. We like their flatbreads, the duck confit nachos are yummy and filling, the Brie en croute is delicious, and the duck trap river smoked salmon and deviled eggs is also super fun. Great date night spot or place to chill and hangout with friends.
