Food Friday: Bricktown Brewery

For some reason I always over look the Bricktown Brewery. Not sure why, there’s a location close and they have good food. So on a quiet Friday night, I gave Big K a list of places I wanted to go try again, he selected Bricktown Brewery.

We were seated quickly even though the restaurant was busy. They have an interesting selection of appetizers, we went with the Watonga cheese curds. Didn’t take long for them to come out and wow, were they good. Lightly battered cheese curds, they had the perfect curd squeak and tasted great. Next up were the entrees, Big K got a Rodeo burger. This massive burger has cheddar cheese, jalapenos, bacon, and onion rings covered with Head Country barbeque sauce. He loved every bite. Said the burger was juicy and flavorful with a bit of a kick. I tried the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese as my sides. I consider myself a bit of a chicken fry steak connoisseur and this quickly became one of my favorites. The breading was light on the steak and the cream gravy complimented it perfectly. The mashed potatoes were good as well, they used real potatoes, not the flakes like some restaurants. As good as the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were, the best part was the mac and cheese. This is a baked mac and cheese with a creamy sauce and breadcrumbs on top. This mac and cheese was truly some of the best I have found in Oklahoma City. They also serve it as an entree, I will be ordering it next time.

We had a great experience at the Bricktown Brewery and I really need to remember it is there so I can visit more often. Service was outstanding and the food was incredible. There are lots of locations around the state, so pick one and go. My visit was to the Memorial Road location and it was wonderful.

Fat Okie Far from Home: Spangles

When I’m out of town, I like to try new places to eat. I have a rule, if I can get it at home then I can’t have it out of state. One of my favorite places in the Wichita Kansas area is Spangles. I discovered this chain of Kansas based restaurants several years ago and always visit when I’m passing through.

The setting is a 1950’s style diner, complete with neon, records, and posters on the walls. The food is also throwback to the 1950’s style diner, you have burgers, fries, onion rings, and various milkshakes to choose from for dessert. This last visit I went with a sourdough garlic parmesan bacon steakburger with fries. Their burgers are really good, juicy with a nice flavor. I really like the buttery sourdough for their burger, pairs well with the bacon. Their fries are always good as well, crispy. I haven’t had a chance to try their shakes yet, I’m always too full from the burger and fries for dessert. They also serve breakfast, but I’ve never been through Kansas early enough to try it. Spangles is family owned and has been in Kansas since 1978.

Overall, I will give them 5 strips of bacon. I love their food, service, and decor. Gives me an option of someplace I like to eat when I’m in Kansas.
