View Full Version : Anchor Down
Urbanized 02-03-2016, 02:17 PM ^^^^^^^^
It's worth noting that The Mule had wonky/frustrating hours early in its existence (it was closed Sunday and Monday, IIRC), but eventually brought things more in line with market norms as the business became more successful and as (I presume) customers asked for additional hours. That just seems to be the way they do things; starting with an abundance of caution.
Tundra 02-05-2016, 06:23 PM Okay, add this place to the been there done that list....I am still sick to my stomach 6 hours later, everything is so heavy and I'm into that type of food. Our server was a young hipster chic super nice, but god help her not very observant. we were seated close to a trash can and as she would clear the tables she would toss the food baskets in the trash and i kept hearing a clanging noise every time, as we were finishing up we all put our silverware in our baskets, she came by cleared our table and it all went in the trash can with a clang.... if that kept that been going on all day long there must have been 20 sets or better of silverware in just that trash can.... I don't see this as a place people are going to flock back time and time again... its too greasy and too heavy..
kevinpate 02-05-2016, 08:29 PM greasy? heavy? why, oh, why haven't I made it there yet? And apparently, you could pocket the silverware as a nice bonus and no one would ever know
(I keed, I keed ... swell, sorta.)

I'd like this if the button were available

I love heavy and greasy....but this place made my ill in a bad way
kevinpate 02-06-2016, 04:29 PM I was raised in SE OK. You grow up there, you eat enough fried foods that by your early teens your tummy has its own cast iron lining.
TheTravellers 02-21-2016, 04:05 PM Ate there Friday before the David J show, not impressed. Cool location and that it's in a shipping container, nice to go to once, but not a repeat visit place for us. Had the Roger Dog, Bird Dog and a couple of drinks. They were just corndogs, absolutely nothing special about them, could've bought the same-tasting thing in a freezer from Crest, basically. The Bird Dog didn't taste like sausage or chicken, pretty bland actually. And their Wild Dog was a beef/pork hot link - BFD, you can get those (not wrapped in batter and fried, admittedly) at any BBQ place around. Glad we went to see what it was like, but ain't going back.

It felt the same way, it's nice to say I've been there done that....
Thomas Vu 02-21-2016, 08:01 PM I've been to a few hotdog places in the city, and thought I'd ask this question.
What hot dog place merits a repeat visit?
I can only think of one, mutts, but way too expensive.
I've been to the coney island off of Main in downtown, Mutts, and coney island on Rockwell. Unless you count Sams too, which I went mostly for the price.

I do not like Coney Island , I'm pretty sure the chili is wolf brand, I like Mighty Dog , and Chili dog express.......I repeat these two monthly

I'd say its more hormel. I've always wanted to visit Chili dog express when I worked downtown. Never made it out there and I no longer work in that area...or in general
dankrutka 02-22-2016, 01:14 AM Too bad Coney I-Lander has never made its way down to OKC. Maybe I'm just nostalgic or brainwashed from growing up in Tulsa, but they're the best coneys I've ever had... by far.
Tim's at NW 50th & MacArthur has a great coney.

I agree with this, Coney I-Lander has the best coneys. I have yet to find anything that comes close in OKC. There was a Coney place downtown Tulsa east of Arbys that was in my opinion better, I don't know if its still there.

We generally do hot dogs at home (Coleman natural beef franks, some kind of good potato bun, our own homemade chili), so we haven't really been to any hot dog places here, but we do have Mutt's on our list so we'll hit there eventually.

Isn't that where the original Coney I-Lander is located? The store looks a little different than the others ones, but I think that's a Coney I-Lander too. ;)

Anecdotal experience, I spent $30 on two hotdogs. Different meats and arguably overboard on the toppings. I do like that they grill as opposed to keep in boiled water.

Possibly??? The name escapes me, but both were excellent!! I've made a few trips to Tulsa just for the coneys.

Tulsa has a Coney Island and a coney I Lander , and actually both have location near downtown.

I think the Coney Island is in the Brady District, but the Coney I-Lander is near that Arby's downtown, right?
bradh 02-22-2016, 09:05 PM we need James Coney Island here just to solve my Houstonian homesick days

Coney Island is on Boulder street..
dankrutka 02-22-2016, 10:12 PM Coney Island is on Boulder street..
Which is in the heart of the Brady District north of the bridges that separate it from the CBD.

Pretty sure it's this..... http://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=42254&highlight=yolk
No, it's not Yolk.
This is an empty building on Gatewood just south of 16th:

Traded messages with The Mule / Anchor Down guys and they said they are still working on their concept but it will be a restaurant and bar.

dankrutka 06-18-2016, 01:20 PM Very nice! I'm sure it'll be another great development.
Anonymous. 08-19-2020, 11:16 AM Does anyone know why this has not reopened? I believe the Mule is opened as normal. This place has been closed since the Pandemic closures and they have had paper covering all the windows with a sign that just says "We miss you and stand with you OKC" or some variation of that.
Being closed for the entire warm season cannot be great financially.
I was told they are closed for good.

OkieBerto 09-17-2020, 11:43 AM Anchor Down is being replaced by The BLOK Bar in October 2020.

Good idea to bring more nightlife to Deep Deuce, but is the timing great for a very small building?
