Food Friday: Louie’s Grill & Bar

A casual restaurant in the Oklahoma City metro to not sleep on is Louie’s. I’ve been a couple of times and the food has always been solid.

I’ve had their burgers many times. One of my last visits I had The Joker burger. This burger isn’t a joke, seasoned patty topped with spicy mac and cheese, bacon, and cheddar jack cheese. Big and juicy with lots of flavor. Since I enjoyed the burger so much, on my next visit I tried their straight up mac and cheese. Same spicy mac and cheese topped with chicken, bacon, cheddar jack, parmesan, and breadcrumbs. So good, creamy with not too much heat. The weren’t stingy with the chicken or bacon either with plenty of both to mix well with the pasta and cheese. I have tried a couple of the appetizers as well. The fried pickles are good, love the type of dill pickles they use. My favorite are the fried green beans. Just love the way they taste, just a bit of a kick to them. Both are served with their chipotle ranch with is also quite good. For some reason, every time Big K goes with me, he gets the beer battered fish platter. He really likes it so I won’t complain too much.

There are lots of Louie’s around. They are part of the Hal Smith Restaurant group which owns a lot of local chains in the metro. I give them 5 strips of bacon. They’ve always been good and consistent with good service.

Food Friday: Granny’s Kitchen

I’ve heard the hype about Granny’s Kitchen for a few years. I’ve heard how popular the Stillwater location has been and I have seen the crowds at their second location on Memorial at Penn. Never had the chance to try them out, until recently with the opening of a fourth location on NW Expressway.

Just a few days after they opened, we decided to stop in. The restaurant was busy but there were a few seats. We placed our order quickly, I went with the Oklahoma Omelet with hashbrowns and pancakes. Big K went all out and got the Nasty Granny. We really didn’t wait too long before the food came out. Wow, was it a lot of food. I knew the Nasty Granny was big but it took up the whole large plate. If you aren’t familiar with the Nasty Granny, it’s a huge chicken fried steak served over a halved biscuit with tater tots, bacon bits, ham pieces, crumbled sausage, onions, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese with cream gravy over all of it. No way I could have tackled this dish but it was perfect for Big K. He loved every bite. I did try a small bite, loved the chicken fry, was lighter than I expected. My Oklahoma Omelet was almost too much for me as well. This three-egg omelet was stuffed with beef, ham, sausage, and bacon with Monterey Jack cheese mixed in as well. It was so good, the egg brought the flavor of the meats together. It’s my new favorite omelet. The hashbrowns were good as well, they were just standard shredded potatoes fried to a golden brown. As much as I loved the omelet, the pancakes were amazing. The were so light and tasted just like the fair (if you know, you know). I really want to try more of the pancakes as well.

Just based on one visit I am totally impressed with Granny’s Kitchen. The service was great as well, no issues at any point. I’m actually ready to go back again, soon. I give them 5 strips of bacon, with a pancake of course.
