    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

    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

    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.

    Demolished cheese fries. Best in town.

    Soooo good We got the Club and Angry Texan and it was delicious! The bread was toasty and fresh. pulled pork bbq was tangy and perfection. The absolute star of the show was the bacon cheese fries. Best cheese fries in town by far. Ambiance and service was great too ! I love how you can bring your pets to the patio and the plaza is already a vibe in itself.

    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.

    Food

    Approaching the parking lot, I noticed cars parked in an area full of shops and art expos closed…read moreduring non-business hours. I got out of my Uber, and I saw a couple walking into the main building. One would assume that everyone is there for art and passes by thinking nothing of it, but I knew there was a secret entrance waiting to be found. I tipped my Uber and walked in. The couple was gone, and all that was left were closed shops in a long wooden hallway. In the Hallway was a man in normal clothes. He said, "The lounge?" Yes, I replied, and he asked for my ID. I showed it to him, then he pointed to a black box on the wall with a moon sticker on it. I pushed it, and the wall opened like an Indiana Jones movie. First impressions are important, and I was impressed. The hidden entrance established the secrecy and exclusivity that I expected from a speakeasy. The Lunar Lounge featured a 1990s retro space theme. This included decorations and art. They had their business logo on the wall, a mural of a naked women sitting on a crescent moon with long red hair covering her private parts. There was a robot-shaped snack machine with a mini tube television for a head, static on the screen with angry black electrical tape making his eyes and mouth. The music was energetic without overpowering people's conversations. Calling ahead of time, I met with a bartender who explained to me that they had no intention of becoming a speakeasy; they wanted to create a safe place for their friends who were part of the LGBT community to express themselves out of sight of public view without fear of judgment or discrimination. Basically, meeting every requirement of a Modern Speakeasy. The owner did a good job creating a convivial atmosphere. People were friendly and socially warm in this relaxed environment. According to the Annuals of Tourism, "Convivial atmospheres are powerful in that they carry with them a transformative potential in terms of individuals' openness to and anticipation of future encounters, and their attendant feelings"(Rokka). The Hosts, therefore, created an Atmosphere catered to their intended Patrons. Even though the secret entrance and the atmosphere made this speakeasy impressive, the focus is on the drinks. Now, a bartender does not need to be a master at mixology, but for the sake of the evaluation, there are a few things people tend to look for in a drink. I personally evaluate a cocktail based on the balance of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and aftertaste. According to the International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal, "mixologists, with their aesthetic approach, contribute to transforming mixology into a form of cultural and creative expression" (Creta). I ordered a sophisticated drink from their menu, wondering what they might do differently. I ordered their Cosmopolitan, a signature cocktail. Instead of putting one shot or two shots, the bartender put a shot and a half. This made the alcohol blend in with the sweetness, not too sweet, so that someone would not drink it too fast. With the cranberry juice, he added a space candy garnish shaped like the moon, and as it dissolved, it started to dye the drink blue. After I finished the drink, I ordered it again from a different bartender, and she made it the same way. I saw consistency; all their signature cocktails looked cold, full of artistic expression, and used high-quality ingredients. Now, an argument I would consider valid concerning Speakeasies is: "A real Speakeasy is a traditional hidden room within a restaurant or cave with formal attire and with jazz music." And to a point, I would agree, but at that time, cave networks were maintained, and Restaurants were a family business where you could make a secret room without corporate overreach or whistleblowing. Those places were modern at the time. Today, Speakeasy simply means to go somewhere to drink away from the general public to speak easily. This could be two construction workers getting off work to go to an exclusive place where most union workers go to relax after work, to a private room where two politicians talk shop out of earshot of the public, or to a restaurant turning into a bar after business hours and bringing in a DJ, karaoke or actual theatre. All of these activities meet the constantly changing environment that would and could be seen in a speakeasy. Ultimately, the Lunar Lounge succeeds because it captures the cultural purpose of a speakeasy, with secret doors leading to a convivial atmosphere and well-made cocktails. Based on my data and experience at the Lunar Lounge, I would consider it a modern speakeasy. The 18th Amendment wasn't just about stopping the sales of alcohol. It was about stopping people from expressing themselves in America and spreading cultural influence. The Lunar Lounge met my basic evaluation of a speakeasy, not just the physical building, but also the Freedom of Expression that its customers enjoyed.

    Fun entrance and vibe. The service was nice and friendly. Great location. Drinks were delicious. We…read morewill definitely be back.
