Bryant Square

Yeah, 'cause if there's anything that little section of Edmond needs, it's more chicken.

Surprised there's not a Zaxby's in Edmond...

[Plutonic Panda]

They are building one right by this development across from OU Medical Center.

HAHA.... Yeah... I think they've surpassed the Mile of Chicken on 19th Street in Moore now.

HAHA.... Yeah... I think they've surpassed the Mile of Chicken on 19th Street in Moore now.

Don't forget Chicken Row on 23rd near Penn.

It's a lot of chicken, but it's also somewhat of a variety of different ways the chicken is prepared and served. Yes, it's very saturated, but would we be as vocal if a steak place opens next to a taco place and next to a burger place and complain about "beef row"?

[jjjumper]

The updated plans also show Cowboy Chicken as "proposed".

I like this. That's what we should refer to this area as now.

Just right there at 2nd and Bryant you have Cowboy Chicken. In the same development you have PDQ. Right across the street is KFC. Just down the street on the other side of Bryant you have Raising Canes and across the street from that is Chick-fil-A.

A lot of those have chicken options too. And I'm sure plenty of them have salad options. When we say there's a lot of chicken restaurants in that area, we're talking about chicken restaurants where chicken is their main thing. An oranges to oranges comparison would be how many mexican restaurants are in the area, or how many chinese restaurants or burger joints, or sandwich shops etc.

[oklip955]

Wish we had more steak options.

[d-usa]

I think that some of the chicken places are as similar to each other as a Mexican restaurant and a Chinese restaurant, to be honest. And in that regard they are pretty comparable in numbers to the other genres I think.

PDQ and Chick-fil-a are both chicken sandwich places. I wouldn’t really lump them in with the other chicken places as the offering is very different from them. I would compare them to Sonic and McDonalds as far as "type" of fast food is concerned, rather than Cowboys as an example. I’ll look over the map and see if I can come up with a “division” of chicken genres.

To be honest, I give North Penn just as much crap for being a chicken strip and it’s fun to poke some fun at the genre. But I also think that oversaturation is not something that is unique to the chickens here.

[d-usa]

So if I had to group the genres of chicken places in Edmond:

"Burger-style" sandwich: Chick-fil-A and PDQ
Chicken Strips: Chicken Express, Raising Canes, Slim Chickens
Fried Chicken: KFC, Popeyes
Rotisserie Chicken: Cowboy's

For the Bryant Square area I would group them generally with the other foods:

Burgers/Sandwiches: PDQ, Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds, Sonic, Garage, Freddies, Jakes Coney Island,
Regular Sandwiches: Subway, Which Wich, McAlister, Jimmy Johns, City Bites
Mexican: Del Taco, Qdoba, Los Arcos, Taco Bell
Asian: Panda Express, Pei Wei, Cafe Icon, China House
Pizza: Old Chicago, CiCis, All American
Breakfast/Diner: IHOP, Denny's
Mediterranean/Indian/Middle Eastern: Zoës, Simply Falafel, Mount Everest, Tikka Craze,
Bars: Eddies, Wicked Piston, Rolling Ice Cream and Crepes,
Ice Cream/Desert: Hashtag, Cold Stone

Yes, there are a lot of chicken places popping up over the past few years. And yes, I make fun of that fact as much as the next guy. But I think it's also pretty easy to forget just how over-saturated we are with fast food and casual food places in the metro area. So compared to just how many other food options we have, and considering that even just in the "chicken" category they serve surprisingly different styles of food, I don't think it's that unusual to have this many choices.

You forgot Zaxby's that will open soon to the north...and the Vista Marketplace just to the east with Krispy Krunchy Chicken.

[traxx]

I just thought it was funny and a bit overkill with all the chicken places so close together. Now we're getting into genres and sub genres and sub sub genres. It's being over analyzed. Jokes are like gossamer and one doesn't dissect gossamer.

[d-usa]

Like I said, I like to joke about it as well and although it may have come across that way I didn't mean it in a "stop having fun and joking about this" kind of way. But man, it’s easy to forget just how many food options we have in any given area. I’m surprised they all manage to get business, but I’m guessing having UCO nearby also helps.

If I was in High School or at UCO these options would be great for lunch.

Live very near there for 4 years now and virtually nothing on/near that corner is in our regular rotation. The only one's we frequent are Hash and the Garage. We've done PDQ and Los Arcos a handful of times also. Really liked Simply Falafel, but have only been a couple of times.

[BBatesokc]

When leaving Simply Falafel for lunch yesterday, I noticed the Hashtag restaurant, in front of Target, was closed and all the fixtures were gone. Never tried it.

[jbkrems]

Was Hashtag the short lived ice cream and waffle shop over there ???

[BBatesokc]

Yep.

[MEvans]

Yep.

I believe Hashtag moved to Danforth/Santa Fe, in the strip just to the north of Danforth on the west side. Unless that was a second location.
