It was a pre-opening tournament.

Their official opening day is 1/25.

They opened today.... Holy cow!

This place is massive and impressive as hell.

Tons of space outdoors and 3 huge indoor areas: 2 on the ground floor and 1 upstairs as well as a huge 2nd level deck.

I actually played a bit of pickleball with one of the staff. I'm a lifelong tennis player so it takes some getting used to (the ball is like a wiffle ball and barely bounces) but is a fast, fun game.

Huge rectangular bar downstairs, another long bar upstairs, then a big outdoor bar.

Dog and kid friendly. Will draw big crowds.

I had the spicy chicken sandwich which was quite good; it's not Nashville style, it's a regular fried chicken breast with buffalo sauce. Quite spicy and juicy. Fries were excellent. Lots of beers on tap and full bar.

Once the weather gets nicer and word gets out, this place is going to be very popular.

Looks awesome!

Also, got to think this would have KILLED it in the Boathouse District or somewhere near Scissortail Park. Not that it won’t here, just saying.

Once you know it's there, it's a pretty good location in that it's easy to get to from Edmond and most of NW OKC.

Like Chisholm Creek, I'll be meeting my Edmond friends there a lot. I was seriously impressed and I loved my food.

They are going to have to sell a lot of chicken to cover the overhead of the facility. Good luck.

They do very, very well in their existing locations in other cities.

Food is a very small part of their appeal and revenue.

Probably the alcohol they sell will do the heavy lifting

The concept is a lot like topgolf. They sell the game and then food as an addition. The entertainment and alcohol is their sales.

They aren’t making their money by being a restaurant. I don’t see it as a destination to just got eat mainly. You’re going for the social and entertainment

Having said all that, their food has a good reputation and I really enjoyed my chicken sandwich and fries.

Stood out even though everyone has chicken sandwiches these days.

And I will say it's a great sports bar. Dozens of places to watch games inside and out. And I'm looking forward to taking my dog.


I was just very impressed by the entire operation; very professional and well done.

i went to the one in Wichita last year, a mere couple of weeks before COVID blew up the planet. It was a hell of a good time. Great place for the gang to hang out, or a family outing, it is a great time. However, i cannot imagine a worse time to open such an establishment. I wish them luck, because it is a great place in a non "everything is on fire and sucks" world.

There is a massive outdoor area and a big 2nd level outdoor deck.

It's not a good time to open any restaurant, but by this summer things should be much better.

I can't wait until the weather warms up. We're just a few miles away, and the wife and I are already making plans and expect we'll be regulars, depending on the crowds.

Does this mean drinks are always on the house?

For the uninitiated (I have never been on FB), what counts as an "engagement"? I understand likes, comments, and shares, but...

Generally speaking, it's the number of people who click on the post and/or click through on the link to the story.

Wow, that really is a great number, then! This place is probably going to kill it. Great location, very central, fun concept, etc. Best of luck to them.

Are those unique clicks or total?

In regards to the weather / temp thing, they had an impressive heating system in Wichita. The space heaters / fire pits were going when we were there last February. Made a nice "camping" kind of feel, Certainly wear a coat, but it was kind of nice to have that huddle around a fire feeling.

How is the food? I will probably be a frequent flyer here. It is within walking distance of the new office.

I really liked my hot chicken sandwich (not Nashville style, more like Buffalo-type sauce) and fries.

The chicken breast was massive and it was generally delicious. Maybe I was just particularly hungry, but I also loved their fries.

I look forward to going back and trying other things.

Actually I think it’s the perfect time to open this. I think more people would be inclined to go to this given it’s lately outdoor rather than just a indoor dining facility.
This is outdoor and you can space yourself out.

Yeah, this is a fantastic set up for a pandemic. The more outdoors and open doors, the safer it is.

Finally made it here and what an awesome place. Even on a Tuesday night is was semi busy. Did the Singo in the game room that was fun. Will have to admit though our party of 4 was not totally blown away with the food but the drinks were very good.
