Where else could you get a cheeseburger or wonderfully heart stopping chili dog with delicious root beer AND a Christmas tree all in one stop. I road trip up 66 to Tulsa every now and then. I will have to try out Webbers.

Mel,
I don't know about their food, just their root beer, but I suspect the food is probably similar since Coit's was originally Weber's.

I will defiantly have to make it up to Webber's in Tulsa to see. Does Webbers use Schwab's?

Mel,
I don't even believe they served hot dogs, I think that was a Coit's addition. And of course, this is about seventy years later, so they probably serve them now, but who knows if they're Schwab's. Maybe somebody will verify/correct my memory. Anyway, I can't answer your question. I will see what I can find with google.
C. T.

Mel,
Looks like they barely pay homage to hot dogs, since they have two choices (three if you count the corn dog), unlike the ten or twelve served at Coit's.

Sorry for the huge post, I tried to attach it but was having trouble, so I just copy/pasted it in my post.
C. T.

Thank you C.T.

Whoever has the recipe for their root beer could make a fortune bottling and selling it.

I don't smoke, I can take-or-leave alcohol, but if I had to admit to one vice, it's a tall glass with ice and a Coca-Cola. Even better if it's the Mexican stuff with real sugar.
Pops in Arcadia has A LOT of different root/birch beer, sarsaparilla, etc. as well as other sodas not available unless at specialty stores. Fortune-making? eh, not really due to demand is so low but that's not to say they aren't extremely marked up. I was shocked to see six packs selling for $10.

fwiw extracts can be easily purchased and you can recreate your own root beer drink at home.

We have a micobrew tasting room about a mile from our house out here in SE Aurora that also brews their own root beer. Need to go get a growler of it some time. I know that Belle Isle Brewing at 50 Penn had their own root beer at one time.

I used to buy a gallon of Coit's Root Beer when I visited the City. One time they gave me a gallon not in the usual plastic jug but in a glass carboy. On the side of the bottle was a label for root beer extract produced somewhere in Texas. Yes, Coit's was made from a commercial concentrate. Unfortunately, I no longer have this bottle and the information for the supplier.

I will defiantly have to make it up to Webber's in Tulsa to see. Does Webbers use Schwab's?

Isn't Webber's located in that cool little part of Tulsa just south of the Philbrooke? That area with all the little shops and restaurants and that old radio or TV tower?

Sorry . . . I somehow missed C.T.'s post mentioning Peoria. That's the area to which I was referring.

Yeah, this is located at 38th and Peoria and the "cool part" of Brookside (meaning that district) ends around 31st. So, it is close, but not in the middle.

I noticed the Coits location on Penn has been torn down...maybe I have missed other threads but what is happening there? Maybe just clearing it knowing that will be done at some point anyway and will make it more maketable.

Yeah, it was recently sold and I talked to the new owner who said it will likely be a car wash.

I was too depressed about it to post.

Yes, I agree with that Pete. Great iconic place. We lived in Bush Hills area when my kids were little and our Saturday morning routine was to go to the Coits on Portland for breakfast most weekends. Was a fun place and knew all the people there by name (Joe, in particular). Good memories!:)

As a kid, my family used to buy our Christmas tree from that Coits.

Then get the rare treat of a frosty mug of their root beer.

Sad.. a car wash?.. how nice

My dad did the same thing and we continued the tradition when we were kids until they shut Coits down.

Ugh hard to look at. I grew up out by Shawnee so family trips into the city were a pretty big deal when I was a kid and we'd always ask to go to Coit's. Chili Cheese Coney, Those tater rounds and a frosty root beer mug. Really sucks. :(

Sad.. a car wash?.. how nice

Yeah, I apparently need to get into the car wash, storage locker, Little Caesar's, nail salon, or donut business, those seem to be going up all over the place, and apparently making money since they keep building the damn things like crazy...

I think you guys are hanging on to memories & not what the actual product provided. Coits was downright disgusting, and served small portions at high prices. The root beer was even bad. There is a definitive reason why it went out of business, and that is because it sucked.

I ate Coits more than my fare share as a kid, but when I got it when I was older it made my stomach sick even though I was barely able to get it past my mouth.

I can say the last time I ate there a number of years ago the food was terrible and the property was really shabby.

Root beer was great, though.

We lived by the Portland location from 86 to 93 and the food was fine then - not great but plenty good to frequent for breakfast, a burger, hot dog or whatever on the weekend. It did go downhill for sure in the years approaching it's closing. Still an iconic place in my opinion and my memories of it are very positive.:tongue:

just saw something on facebook saying that coit's might be getting a second life as a food truck... -M

Saw the same post, apparently they are out at the state fair this year.

What a great idea! Especially with the temperatures for this year's fair - perfect combo.
Those saying Coit's root beer was not good must not be root beer lovers. Toward the end, it was about the only thing that was still good as always. They will do well with a food truck with their hot dogs and root beer.

The only thing I miss other than the places themselves is the root beer.

If they could keep that alive through a food truck, I'd be very happy.

Coit's is alive and well once more, in food truck form! They post where they are going to be on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Coits-Food-Truck/1636043843342737) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/coitsfoodtruck). I caught up with them at NW 39th and Tulsa today, and man, talk about nostalgia... Even the new OKC Blazers were there handing out free tickets!

And yes, I had a root beer! :D

Ironically, I took this photo today of their old location at I-44 and Penn.

Car wash under construction:

http://www.okctalk.com/images/pete/coits102915.jpg

The car wash that was built on the old Coit's land at I-44 and Penn has been abandoned for a while.

But the property was recently sold and it will be converted into a Watershed Car Wash, which is planning a bunch more OKC-area locations.

I'll be grateful when they finally pull down that atrocious painted-over old Coits sign. I can't believe the city has allowed that for a better part of a decade.

Between this, the Braum's across the street repaving, the Casey's taking over of the gas station and the apartments (not to mention the 39th streetscape project) there sure is a lot of updating going on in this immediate area all at once. Good to see.

^

The District Hotel (formerly the Habana Inn) continues a methodical renovation. There is also a new bar going in on 39th.

And the I-44/Penn area has been targeted as part of the MAPS 4 beautification project.

I believe that there is a car wash at NW 23rd & Independence that was a Victory Car Wash that is also being remodeled. I think it may also be a Watershed property.

OMG that 2nd picture is horrifying. Was the lot really in that bad of shape, I cannot recall (though seeing zero rebar I could imagine that i was)?

It is. I pass this twice a day. They were doing a lot of concrete demo work and installing vacuums last time I went by. Glad both of these properties are getting a makeover.
