Since it seems like your taste buds are beyond superior of the average mans, why even go out? why not just make your own meals at home that you know you will like?

There has been quite a bit of negative reviews on this place. I still haven't tried it and plan on doing so and will give my honest opinion when I do. I really hope it is great though!
It bothers me when someone admits themselves a food snob and have very high expectations of restaurants and they talk down on the vast majority of restaurants they try (or go back and try again knowing their mind wont change). Seems like a waste of time and money for you. But hey, you are making those guys way richer so props to them.
We didn't have "very high" expectations, we had normal expectations (which are waiting less than 5 (not 10) minutes to get a menu, 10 (not 20) minutes to get our appetizers, no puddles of urine on the restroom floor, etc.). We are going back to Kd's for a very specific reason, not because we expect them or our minds to change (although if everything is stellar, we *might* go back after that, but I don't expect that to happen). To be perfectly honest, we went because my wife wanted to, I had no desire to even try it. As far as going back to a place we were disappointed in - we are not so dull as to patronize the same restaurants again and again and again and again, we like trying new places and foods, hence going to a restaurant we haven't been to so we can see what it's like and maybe more times if it's good and maybe not again after that if they're not good. Sometimes, however, the first visit is pretty much all we need to figure out if it's worth a shot again.
I went recently on a Thursday just before 5. I didn't have reservations and didn't wait at all. I ate with three other adults and two children. I had no expectations. I was promptly brought a menu (that lights up). I ordered the wings with buffalo sauce as an appetizer. The sauce was perfect. I ordered the meatloaf. It came with bacon green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was excellent. It was the perfect southern style dish that tasted like grandma's home cooking. I sampled all my family's plates. Bacon wrapped shrimp and cheese grits melted in my mouth, red beans and rice with chicken was perfectly flavored, and the country fried steak (half the plate), was a big southern boys dream. I didn't dare eat dessert but we ordered anyways. The cobbler and ice cream was the perfect ending. The bathrooms were nice and clean. My wife and I can't wait to go back again.

I apologize for turning this into a bilingual thread. My only intention was to compare Travellers' snobbery to that of Marie Antoinette. Point being, no one likes a snob.
Well, since my husband has dragged me into this, I must respond. The fried green tomatoes were fabulous, as were the black-eyed peas and mashed potatoes. The bar area is very cool. But it seems to me that if you are going to offer full restaurant service in the bar area, it shouldn't be the bartender's job to take food orders, seemingly as an afterthought. I almost felt sorry for those girls, the way they were running around (not too sorry because I was hungry). Why not have a waitress?
As for the snob part, we paid a lot to each at Kd's, and tipped appropriately. It is not unreasonable to expect to get our money's worth. Thanks for the attempted French lessons, but I don't think Marie Antoinette ever worried about getting her money's worth!![]()
Wife and I tried to eat there last week after a thunder game. It was about 10:15pm, and they told us they weren't seating anybody else to eat, but we could order a drink from the bar if we could find a seat. Of course, we couldn't find a seat. We left, and ate at Toby Keith's right next door.
By the way, we saw lots of empty tables at KD's, left side of bar. Kind of confused why we couldn't eat, but oh well. Kind of lame if you ask me.
I can't eat out at a fancy joint like this very often. I'm hanging on to my money until the bugs get worked out at this place.
My anniversary is Saturday and my bride of almost 17 years vetoed my thought of a nice juicy strip steak at Red Prime because she has been wanting to try KD's. Managed to swing a Saturday night reservation yesterday so we are heading that way this weekend. Has anyone tried the strip at KD's? Do they know what they are doing or should I just get the meatloaf and save the steak to be eaten another night at Red Prime? Is there a decent wine list at KD's? We are ubering so the vino may flow.
This is a great addition to OKC's menu of eateries !
Does anyone else think Red Prime is over rated?
