Restaurants in your regular rotation

I went to Neptunes on N Rockwell around 16th back in the 90s and maybe the late 80s. It was in a strip shopping center. Im going to have to try the one on Classen.

From my experience, the Classen location has food very similar to the Neptune's I knew in the 70s, specifically the location at 63rd & Meridian.

Same bread, same toppings, same taste.

Unfortunately, I am bound by my young kids to CFA and Raising Cane's. I about can't even eat at those places anymore, but...

Hacienda Taco, Qdoba, and Earl's are my go-to places, but I try to go to a lot of different places when I can. Little Mike's is a great burger with actual cherry and vanilla for your coke.

You are talking about the Trump burger joint I am guessing?

Never had that burger (or even have seen it in person)... but Google does confirm it is the place. Makes sense with the funnies posted throughout.

Yeah, that bread, man....

Im pretty sure Little Mikes was in QS Mall before the NW Highway location.

Shouldn't it be named Liddle Mike's?

Hard pass, BTW.

I might need to start adding Saturn Grill to my regular rotation. Their Meatloaf sandwich is so darn good!

It is a shame, because I do think the food looks good. I will never set foot in a place like that though.

[Dr Beard Face]

Lazy Donkey is our most common spot, absolutely amazing queso
Republic
Bar Arbolada
Barrios
Spark
Ma Der Lao

[Roger S]

Oh and I need to add Basil to my rotation list. It's been a consistent lunch spot this summer.

Hard pass. I prefer my meals without a side of politics. (from either side) I generally won't even go into a business with a political sign up.

[PoliSciGuy]

Kinda slim pickings way out where I'm at but:

Thai La Moon
S&B's Burgers
Pub W
Sushi Bar
Mio's Italian Kitchen (now that Moni's is closed)
Hidalgo's
Szechuan Garden

Totally agree. I am there for the food, not your politics.

[Achilleslastand]

Yes, that was the late 80s/early 90s.

Same guy owns Zorba's and they get the food from the same distributor.

[TheTravellers]

Doesn't pretty much every restaurant here (with exceptions like the farm-to-table, upper-scale, etc. ones) use the same two distributors - Ben E Keith and Sysco?

[PhiAlpha]

Yeah, that bread, man....

Very good.

[Urbanized]

I was told by a worker at Neptune’s that it was now owned by the ownership of OnCue. I’m not certain about how accurate that is, but I do know that it was sold recently because a friend of mine was considering buying it.

That would explain all the recent updates to the interior.

Ah, yeah, makes sense, we thought it was much nicer the last time we were in a couple of weeks ago, and I think their hours might've expanded a bit too.

They are under new ownership but this seems odd considering they are opening a 2nd location in the new eExpress opening in Moore soon. Why would they open in a competitor's convenience store?
