The site where Lit was located in the Centennial in LBT is going to be a Texadelphia. I've personally never eaten at one, but I'm assuming it's a deli. That's one type of restaurant that's underrepresented in Bricktown so I hope it's a good one.

Texadelphia? Not a deli, its a sandwich/grill and sports bar specializing in "philly cheese steaks" with a Texas twist, whatever that means. And its meh... not too excited about this one.

I don't know if I'd call it a deli, it's more like a Chili's type place, but they specialize in cheesesteaks. There is one in Norman by OU.

Texadelphia is not going to be one of those places that just wows you with their food, but it's a great place to go still. I just graduated from OU and am living downtown and am really excited about T-Delph coming to Bricktown. They have good drink specials and was a great place in Norman to go watch games. One thing about Texadelphia that made it popular was the outdoor patio that used to be and is starting to get back to the place to be when the weather is nice. I don't really see any space for them to put a patio outside though which is unfortunate. One thing that T-Delph used to do back in the day was outside concerts in their parking lots. It would be great if they could find a way to get those going again and I've mentioned to Manny before that I would help do whatever to make this happen. More and more OU students are starting to live in Bricktown and hopefully this increase in former students will be able to bring recognition to T-Delph and allow them to make a name for themselves.

This is a good add. I think it'll make it.

Is this the gourmet deli that was referred to in "more new stuff" thread?

It's not a gourmet deli. It's a philly cheese steak place with great beer specials.

Good to hear! I've been a fan since my days down in Dallas.

It's popular down here, started in Austin in 1981. I like it.

No patio space? They have the whole plaza out front there, AND the north side of the building. Should be plenty of options for outdoor entertainment and tables. I'm sure they'll have to share some of those outdoor tables with Sonic/Falcones, but they're first come first served anyways. Plenty of room for more tables too.

That's great. I drove by and just glancing while I was driving didn't see any space but that is good news.

i thought it was the name of some new texas border town that just popped up somewhere along the arkansas border.

is this place worth checking out?

is this place worth checking out?

meh, maybe after consuming a bucket or two of beers. apparently its hip in texas.. been to the one in Norman a few times...

Come to think of it, and i'm not sure if things have turned over, but the same people that operate 747 on campus corner originally operated the tecksadelfia on lindsay in Norman. some frat dudes from texas with deep pockets backing them. I'm out of the loop these days...

try it at least!

is this place worth checking out?

Yep! Maybe not the place you'd sit around all night unless a good game were on....it would do really well in the Rooster's space if it had gone in there.

NW corner of the Centennial per the DOK yesterday, had not seen it posted. Since the other is near OU, this may be catering to the ACM lunch crowd?

Oh man, I had no clue they were putting one of these downtown, that place is great!

Could be. I ate there once when I was a student there and i really didn't like it, but some people swear by it.

The one in Norman appears to have minimal traffic these days. EVERY time I'm by the Norman location, 2 or 3 cars max in the lot.

If you are a fan of true philly cheesesteaks (regardless of where you are in the Geno's vs. Pat's debate) you will be disappointed at Texadelphia. A place for a beer and a snack - maybe. A great cheesesteak - no.

A little off topic, but Texadelphia didn't make this list - place in Enid did...

That description is spot on.

Seeing as I'm likely not going to make it to Philly anytime in this, or any other, lifetime, I can't wait. I love the Texadelphia sandwiches, "authentic" or not.

Great addition to the Bricktown mix. Hope they succeed.

Food is all a matter of personal preference, I prefer the "Texas Cheesesteak" over a "true Philly Cheesesteak" anyway, I would take Texadelphia over Pat's or Geno's any day, just what I prefer. Just like I prefer Tex-Mex to "authentic Mexican" food. The "authentic Mexican" food that I have had has been pretty bad in my opinion.

The key to a great cheesesteak in Philly is actually the bun. Authentic uses a cheese-wiz type cheese and the steak isn't what we consider steak here. I actually like the SW versions of cheesesteak better. It is a regional thing.

Texadelphia is good. Cherry peppers.

Surprised to hear you have had bad experiences with "authentic" Mexican in Texas? I like both Tex Mex and authentic, as in DFW I have had authentic tacos, mole, guiso, etc...when I first tried it I was not quite sure but it actually is quite tasty. Everyone has there own preference.

I love cherry peppers. Texadelphia always disappointed me though, and I second that here in Norman they always seem to have no one there. I've even gone in during peak meal times and there is no one but my group there.

On a side note, best philly cheesesteak in Oklahoma is at the Rock Cafe in Stroud. They use rye bread there.

Spartan, I am sure they have plenty of business in Norman as it has been open for 4+ years and they would not be expanding if business was bad. The Texadelphia in Las Colinas Irving, is always busy and the food is great! Sorry for your negative spin on things, Spartan. Have a great day!

Norman is inundated with excellent restaurant options unlike the Lost Colinas.

I was stating more that most food taste is a matter of opinion and not absolute fact. When it comes to Mexican/Tex-Mex I just think my Okie white boy (German/Norwegian ancestry) taste buds are just accustomed to Tex-Mex instead of "authentic Mexican" and especially interior Mexican food. Every place that I have tried that claims to be "authentic" has been rather poor in my opinion, some feel the places are great. I have had some from my neighbors which has been good and way too spicy for my Texican wife.

I think some here in Austin claim a place is "great" just because it is local as some of the "institutions" here (all food types) are mediocre to me while others do live up to the billing. I hear people rave about Lockhart BBQ, especially Smitty's and Kruez Markets, every time that I have been to those it has been more than a disappointment, in Lockhart I prefer Black's which has always been consistenly good. While many who "love" those places disparage The Salt Lick in Driftwood which I prefer, I also think Louis Mueller's in Taylor is better than anything in Lockhart.

I know with Texadelphia that my father has eaten at the some here and the one in Norman on a gameday, he thought the one here was better. He wasn't sure if that was due to the gameday rush or if it is their "normal" food as it can change greatly. There can also differences between the franchise places and owned places. I haven't tried Rudy's BBQ up there but went to the Austin franchisee location yesterday. I have tried the Selma location (owned, not franchise) in the San Antonio area and it is different in some ways from the Austin franchise, don't know if Freebirds is the same way since I haven't been to the College Station or Norman ones.

ON a side note just saw the banner over the space proclaiming the new addition to the NW side of The Centennial.. it reads "Bricktown is about to get a lot Cheesier." I can't agree more, as amazing as that seems.

/end negativity

????????????

Norman has great, local food: Pepe Delgado's on Campus Corner has great authetic Mexican. Victoria's has excellent Italian. Bison Witches has great sandwiches and soup. The Diner is great for breakfast. NY Pizza has great pizza and other Italian dishes. Greek House is exceptional. Too many others to list...

Maybe I have bad taste, but I really like Texadelphia's chicken cheesesteak. Texadelphia gets a good crowd on certain days. It just depends when you go. I'm excited that one is opening in BT.

Actually, I believe the owners are "frat"dudes from Oklahoma

It's suppose to open this Friday.. I've been around LOOOOTTTSSS of remodels and have done lots of remodels, that's what I do, and it's coming along nicely.... But I will be impressed if they're open by Friday! It should without a doubt be open by next weekend tho.. Nonetheless it won't be much longer!! How's the food? Atmoshpere? Sports watching?!?

Where exactly is it going to be ?

I think this is a really good addition to Bricktown, actually. Should be hopping before Thunder games.

Meh, never been a fan of their food, atleast from the one in Norman or the one I had in Texas. They do have really good drink specials though and the atmosphere seems pretty good. Why would you be "impressed" if they open by Friday? Are they running behind?

It's located west of Starbucks, where LIT clothing was located. They aren't exactly running behind, just a whole lot to be done before Friday.

Texadelphia is a fun, laid back place. They have good drink specials and I like their food. It's a nice change of pace from In The Raw and Bolero's. I hope they do well.

Say what you want about Hogan, but he has been better at finding tenants than most Upper Bricktown owners.

I agreed. I used to sort of despise Lower Bricktown in a way with its Bass Pro and parking lots. But I find myself there more and more.

Wow, so this week we gained Texadelphia, and lost the Grateful Bean. -2

Has anyone went by there today to see if they opened today?!?

They aren't open yet, walked by on my way to lunch.

I was at Starbucks this afternoon and they were no where close to being open. Construction workers were putting together the deck area.

Any updates on an expected opening or how the progress is coming along?

They tweeted earlier that they will be opening the weekend of August 6th.

Texadelphia opened today. The place looks nice inside and on the patio. I recommend a Philly Cheesesteak. I thinknit will be a good addition to the area as they have good beer specials and relatively cheap food. A good place to go before Thunder games.

We had a big group go up there and sit on the patio all Saturday afternoon. People that have been to the one in Norman shouldn't draw conclusions about the Bricktown one until they go see it for themselves. I think I counted 11 total flat screens with a big projector screen. We frequented the one in Norman a lot and the Bricktown location feels like what the old Texadelphia was like when people still went all the time. They had frozen margaritas and swirls there which is a nice addition. They really added to their menu and I think you will all be very pleased if you go. Definitely go check it out. And yes Kilgore, it will be AMAZING for Thunder games.

Planning to go tomorrow night. I walked by last week and really like what they did with the patio, replacing parking spots.

Some friends and I went the other day and the inside was def. better then the Norman Tex. The staff was really friendly and the food was good.

Service was excellent. The atmosphere is great as well. Food was just okay. Should have ordered my burger medium. The menu warned that by default it would be cooked medium well and it was definitely overcooked by my standards. Fries, chips, queso all good. Overall I recommend it but won't call it a favorite or anything.

Went today for lunch before a movie.

Atmosphere was okay. Not alot of common sense from the staff. They kept complaining about how cold it would get at the register whenever someone would enter in the ToGo doors, yet it never occurred to them to lock those doors and have people enter from the main entrance only. Regardless, the staff was very friendly.

We all had the Founder's Philly Cheesesteak because they said that was the most popular item. We all had waffle fries and one order of chips and cheese dip.

The sandwich was okay, but certainly not what we expected from a place that specializes in cheesesteaks. The meat was too finely ground (and what there was of it wasn't much) and there was hardly anything else except jalapenos. If it was from a concession stand I'd say it was good, but not from a restaurant.

The waffle fries were good but only room temperature and the sauces taste like they were out of a jar. Chips were good, but the cheese sauce was just okay too.

I'd go again with a group if they wanted, but never on my own or on a date.

Agree completely. I went once and if it were the only restaurant open in Bricktown and I wanted something to eat, I'd go back.

I love going to Texadelphia in Bricktown! It has a wonderfully relaxed environment which is perfect for grabbing a bite and watching the game or even better... grabbing a bite and going to the game! :) I've only had burgers and the chicken sandwich before but I've never been disappointed by the quality or quantity! This isn't a 5 star restaurant by any means but it's perfect for dinner and watching the game with friends!

Prices are too high compared to the amount of food you get. The fare is tasty but a drop in prices or increase in portion sizes is needed..

The burgers at Texadelphia are ok, but when I'm craving a cheesesteak sandwich, it's Jersy Mike's for me.

The time I went, I thought the food was good and prices fair, and you know I'm not big on chains. You guys must have hit them on an off night during the storm, and it sounds like it based on your comments of them complaining it was cold.
