    I have loved the mule for years! Love the new location. Great food. Best cheese curds around. Nice drink selection. Attentive staff. Nice seating options inside and outside.

    Large Fried Okra
    Pamela H.

    I looked up this restaurant on the drive to Oklahoma City and new I had to check it out. Unfortunately, it almost did not come to fruition because it was located in a artsy little area with HORRIBLE parking. If I have to stress to get there, my general rule is that it is not worth it. Luckily, I drove around and bit and a spot did become available. The menu was absolutely fabulous with lots of options. I decided on the cheese curds, tomato soup and fried okra. The cheese curds portion size was large and they were probably the best I have ever had. They came with ranch and tomato soup for dipping. The okra was perfectly fried and also delicious. The tomato soup was good however, too salty for my taste. The abundance of salt did make it the perfect dipping companion for the cheese curds though. My server, Rebecca was exceptional and the ambiance was upbeat, artsy, warm and inviting.

    Sweet potato fries

    The mule is a great spot at the Plaza District. Their food always hits the spot! I think the best part of the mules is all their fried side options and sauces! Sweet potato fries, tater tots, fried okra! They're always so good! Then you can go walk around the plaza to not feel as bloated after the staff is always kind and helpful! They can get busy so plan accordingly for rush hour! The macaroni pony w grilled onions and jalapeños is always my go to!

    Cheese curds
    Carolyn P.

    One of our favorite spots. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken sandwich on the Special Board. It was pretty good, lots of chicken. I still love the Cortez served on Jalapeno Bread with added Bacon. I've had it so many times, I have stared checking the Special board first. I can't seem to find anything I like better. So "If it ain't broke don't fix it" ! Parking still can be a problem. We like to park right across from it. If we have our Little one it's hard if we have to park down the street somewhere. We try to never come on Saturday, to crazy for parking.

    Dessert special

    Amazing taste! Had a party of six. We all got different food and shared. EVERYTHING was delicious, particularly the cheese curd poutine fries and the dessert! Prompt and friendly service. Easy 5 stars!

    BCLT and fried okra
    Brian F.

    A staple in the Plaza District. Never disappoints. Drinks and food is always on point. The service is always friendly and welcoming. Just a good relaxed vibe and and place you can hold a conversation while you eat and drink. I always enjoy coming here.

    Big Ass Grilled Cheese
    Starla L.

    I had the pleasure of being invited to The Mule with some friends before we head to the Canterbury voices concert. We had a party of eight, and even though they were pretty busy, we still had solid service. I ordered the big ass grilled cheese with turkey and avocado plus tomato soup. Everything was delicious, I couldn't have asked for more. This was my second visit and I can't wait to come back and try something new on the menu. My group had beers and cocktails, and everyone seemed pleased. I stuck with a sweet tea, and it hit the spot. Great place to grab a bite before an event or just to hang with friends.

    Angry Texan
    Cynthia A.

    Came here to have lunch. I had the angry cowboy and it was delicious. I paid for the lunch special which includes a half sandwich, a small side and a drink. This was an affordable option. My friend ordered the Cortez and she seemed to enjoy it very much. My sandwich was delicious and while I was full, I was hungry again after a couple of hours. lol The restaurant has a bar and can accommodate some larger parties but those larger parties will take up most of the space. The restaurant was clean. Our waitress was great. I will definitely not wait 18 months to return next time.

    Amazing service. We loved the patio seating. The cheese curds were my favorite appetizer. The spinach salad was so good, we substituted the goat cheese for the blue cheese. The bacon, egg sandwich was the best and the pork macaroni a close second. Very reasonable prices.

    The restaurant was quiet and Very hipster. The service was quick and friendly . The food was delicious I got tomato soup with the avocado and bacon sandwich on a Spanish wrap It was on point

    Two story house
    Kathy N.

    Today is Sunday, October 12th 2025. 2:35pm we left. Came in for brunch/lunch. Seated shortly, restaurant was semi-full, maybe 70%. We ordered coffee, which was $3 and pretty OK. Comes with creamer if you'd like. My girlfriend got the Two Story House, with the seasonal side, which was a watermelon arugula salad with farrow and toasted almonds. I got the Cortez sandwich with a side of okra. The Two Story house was pretty good, could've used some salt. The side salad was "REALLY GOOD" and she said she "Really Liked That!" Cortez was OK. Jalapeño cornbread, brisket, roasted jalapeños, some cheese and onions. The brisket itself was moist but really bland. The jalapeños had the most flavor. Okra was standard Oklahoma restaurant fried okra. Not bad but not amazing. It was relatively quiet and calm in the restaurant, not a lot of noise and the pacing of service was great. Thanks

    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Lane M.

    We attended a matinee showing of A Christmas Carol at The Plaza and The Mule was the perfect way to end a wonderful day. Kelsie was the perfect hostess and deserves recognition for taking such great care of us. The restaurant is one large room without separation so I can see it being noisy when the place is packed. It was fine for us but we were eating very early. We started with Bacon Cheese Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes. Both were fantastic choices and the pile of fries delivered was great for sharing among the six of us. Two of us chose The Burger. It was a terrific choice and delivered with more yummy fries. Two people ordered salads; Chicken Caesar and Spinach Salad. Both had fresh greens and were tasty. The last two meals were F.Y.D.H. and the Chicken Bacon Ranch which is a wrap and from an offered bite it's what I'll order when we return. The onion rings were the only thing that weren't a 10. The breading was more like a fish and chips breading and was just too doughy. However, that's a personal preference. We ended the meal by sharing a Tower of Power dessert which is Oreo cookies and ice cream, a combination made in heaven. If you only have time for dessert, this is worth your time. The Plaza District is walkable and full of quirky shops that are worth exploring. The large murals are Instagram worthy and are the perfect backdrop for Facebook posts.

We were told we could not eat because we did not have reservations. We asked if we could possibly take a bar top or outside the waitress said no. This time we had a reservation and arrived 30 mins early when we got there we gave them our name and the waitress said it would be 45 mins. We asked if we could possibly get seated early since we were there (9:30 am) without looking at the schedule or the room she replied "No 45 mins". We turned and left. We had not been gone 10 mins and got a text saying our table was ready. I canceled the reservation. We ate at one of the hotels downtown and it was lovely. I did book this reservation a day early. Will not be booking again. Very disappointed.

The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wait for our food felt a little longer than expected.

This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here. From the health violations and poor food safety I saw in the kitchen, the multiple tables I witnessed sending back food to the multiple parties puzzled as to why they weren't being sat or once they were entirely ignored... it was so wildly bad I was embarrassed for everyone else having the same experience.
