Thread: Will Rogers World Airport

    It's less about the aircraft that a gate or jet bridge can handle and more about building an area that can be built out to Federal Inspection Services/Customs requirements. Right now, WRWA does not have a secure gate/restrooms, etc., that can immediately be used in the event of an international divert. Being an airport that handles diverted flights from DFW, that's an issue. So, the proposed design will first help to solve that problem.

    I can't think of anything that would be as good. Every single time I flew out of okc I grabbed something from that sonic. Whether it be a drink or a meal. sad to see it go.

    Yeah sort of sad to see something so founded in OKC leave the airport. Whatever goes in its place, hopefully it is faster than the current eateries. And please dont make it be mcdonalds.....

    Yeah, for a food court, all the options there are incredibly slow.

    I vote for Chick-fil-a!!

    Three new restaurants will be announced. None of them are McDonald's or Chick-fil-A. One local brand will replace Sonic in the food court, another local brand will replace Oklahoma Bakery (walk-up stand) in the west concourse and Salt Lick will be replaced by an internationally recognized brand.

    Don't worry, it's replacement is also founded in OKC. Not sure about faster.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a Tucker's go into that spot. It would be a burger-for-burger replacement, it's a local brand, and onion burgers are very Oklahoma option to greet visitors flying into our state with.

    my guess is Braum's

    Old School Bagel Cafe might be nice. I love a bagel sandwich before flying.

    My guess is The Garage.

    It's Tucker's.

    I would almost wonder if The Garage has too many options for an airport like Will Rogers. A lot of different proteins to keep up with and a huge amount of toppings.

    Which is one of the reasons I was thinking that Tucker's would be a good fit, aside from the "Oklahoma Onion Burger" connection. Only two proteins, one if they don't include Turkey, and the beef is ground at each restaurant so it's pretty easy to tailor to the actual demand. The only toppings to stock are lettuce, onions, tomato, pickles, jalapenos, onions, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. If they want to include the "one salad" it wouldn't add a lot of inventory either.

    Did Sonic have their whole menu there?

    Glad to hear, I do think that it's a good option for welcoming folks.

    If the prices were competitive, this would be really cool.

    Agree! And Tucker's is a great addition for the airport. Reminds me of some of the local places that have been added to LAX like Lemonade, Cole's, and Pink's.

    Besides the onion burger, is there any other food that really started and flourished primarily in OK?

    Chicken fried steak and that sort of thing is no more unique to Oklahoma than Texas and most our 'local' cuisine is based in Southern culture.

  19. Default Re: Will Rogers World Airport

    I think it's pretty much just the onion burger. Not as cool as a Philly Cheese Steak but we should own it.

    Just maybe the pecan pie ?

    In checking, it is more of a Southern influence.

    ah. what I meant was can't think of anything better that works for the airport. I always seem to get early morning flights and they serve breakfast. Also great to be able to get a route 44 and get a limeade or whatever combination you like to take with you on the flight.

    Their food isn't the best but for what I ever needed (breakfast, or a big drink) it always was my go to spot in the airport.
