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.

Food Friday: The Chuck House

I love a good chicken fry steak. One of my favorite foods and a state food of Oklahoma. I’ve had good ones all over the state, so I feel like I’m kind of an expert on them. The Chuck House in Oklahoma City advertises themselves as the best chicken fry steak in the state so I thought it good to check them out.

We headed to their location at NW 10th and Meridian early on a Saturday night. Got right in with no issue and placed our orders. Everything was served quickly. I was super excited but that was soon replaced my disappointment when I realized that the mashed potatoes were runny. Since I didn’t actually see them come out of the box I can’t say for sure but they sure tasted like the bland flakes from the box mashed potatoes. No flavor whatsoever, had an almost soup like consistency. The cream gravy covering them wasn’t much better. Just way too runny with no flavor at all. On to the steak. It was kind of small for a chicken fry but ok. It was good, tender, the breading wasn’t bad but it was covered in that awful gravy, so it really took away from the steak. Now Big K had their ultimate steak sandwich, which has grilled onions, cheese, and bacon. I had a bite and really liked it.

Overall I’m going to give them 3 strips of bacon. So many things could be improved and if I visit again, I’ll get the steak sandwich instead. They were friendly and service was good. The only other downside was the location, not exactly the best part of town so if you go please be careful.
