Disappointed "Cheeseburger in Paradise" near Memorial couldn't make it. Doesn't bode well for the others.

I've always wondered what happened there. The place always seemed busy. Lots of large gathering/events there as well. I was surprised when it shut down.Originally Posted by Stan Silliman

Our C.I.P. was doing very well. The whole chain closed all but one or two locations. We were regulars there and were told that the local management tried to license the OKC store as a franchise but the mother company was trying to file bankruptcy and didn't want the income a franchise would generate.

The place was busy because they couldn't turn tables. We went three times and the service was super slow. Took forever to get food to the tables. Gotta turn tables to make money. They catered a little bit to our local parrothead club but we stopped going because service was so bad.

I could use a McCormick's & Schmick's ...Seafood & Steaks.
Seafood Restaurant Kansas City, MO - Steakhouse Kansas City | McCormick & Schmick's

Re: If you could have ONE restaurant come to OKC what it would be?
That would work. Would prefer a Morton's as it is my favorite restaurant but any decent high end steakhouse would work. ( capital grill, three forks, del frisco). Anything but a Ruth Chris !! I have e had better service and steaks at an IHOP than Ruth Chris. Red prime does a good job feeling the void though. They get their strips from Allen Brothers in Chicago which also provides Morton's their steaks.
In n Out burgers also!!! 3x3 animal style!

I can't remember if you said you've been to the Ranch or not…you should give 'em a try.
I would rather leave the national Prime Steak chains out of OKC. That probably won't happen though, in which case I'd prefer Morton's over Ruth's or Fleming's (though the 100 wines by the glass would be great to have).

I have several, but Bob Evans would top my list. In-n-Out would be nice to have here. I miss Marie Calenders and their pies. They could come back anytime. I'd love to have Village Inn back in the OKC area.

Re: If you could have ONE restaurant come to OKC what it would be?
Lets see
For fast food, I suppose an In-n-Out would be cool. I have never been to one though, just based on the hype. A Boston Market would be cool, just to have one and to me, it seems like a cool place to hang out and study.
As for further restaurants.
1. Pappadeaux
2.California Pizza Kitchen
3.I would like to see something like Flying Fish off of Coit Rd. in Dallas http://flyingfishinthe.net
4.An actual good Brazilian restaurant. The one in Midtown sucks. Trust me on this, I know. My stepmother is from Brazil and when we lived in Dallas, there were true good Brazilian restaurants.
5.Rainforest Cafe
Really, OKC's restaurant scene is actually really good and vastly improving. There are so many options now is unreal. I would like to build two restaurants here in OKC one day, a concept similar to the Magic Time machine, but a thousand times more awesome. I would like to build that in Bricktown. The other one would be a restaurant that specializes in cooking fried alligator, but has other great Cajun style food. I have found some great locations around lake Arcadia that would be cool for this.

Re: If you could have ONE restaurant come to OKC what it would be?
1. Yes, that would be excellent. I think on the canal in Bricktown would be the perfect place
2. Would be nice. Personally I think Penn Square Mall or somewhere on Memorial Rd would be ideal for California Pizza Kitchen
3. Decent place but not really that much different from the other seafood places OKC has.
4. Definitely this. I haven't had any of the Brazillian restaurants here, but the one in Charlotte, Chima, was one of the best meals I have had in my life
5. Never experienced Rainforest Cafe. I knew they were pretty popular in the '90s but not sure how so now.
Agree. I particularly like some of the asian food available here. There is also surprisingly good sushi being so far from the coast. I know Trapper's has fried alligator, and its the only alligator I have ever ate. How would you rate it?
Re: If you could have ONE restaurant come to OKC what it would be?
Mine would be any restaurant that isn't a chain.
I don't know about others on this thread but when I go to another
city I look for local flavor and not a chain I can get anywhere.

We have that rule when we travel. We don't eat anywhere that we can eat here in OKC.... We don't rule out chains because when I'm going to Detroit to visit friends I can guarantee you I'm eating some White Castle.Mine would be any restaurant that isn't a chain.

I agree but you can end up eating some pretty awful food but on the other hand you can score some great eats. And I like that roulette aspect of it.Mine would be any restaurant that isn't a chain.

I enjoyed it when I was down there, but Lucile's Stateside Bistro in Fort Worth. They're not expanding. Just a one owner restaurant. Will eat there again next time I'm down there.
