First time in Riverwind Casino! A bit of a long drive to see Collective Soul! But for the ‘90 bands, they are one of my favorite. Thanks for bringing them to OK! Will be back for sure!

Room was very nice. Wish we could have upgraded, but apparently need a host for that and I don't have one. Food at Chips & Ales was great and our server was top notch! Slots were a bit tight so didn't get to play as much as we'd like. Employees were very friendly for the most part.

Didn't go into the actual Casino. Went to the Gary Allan concert on the same property. Well organized. We got there early and once gates open were in pretty quickly. Great options for food too.

Brought my elderly disabled Dad here while on a trip from DFW to Norman and the upper deck was perfect for him. He always plays for fun and not to win, so slots are good. He had a blast even though he can't be around flashy lights for too long. Thank you for providing a safe and fun experience!

My worst experience since covid happened. Spent $300 within 10 minutes. 4 machines 0 wins! I have never experienced such bad luck ever!! I will never play here again! We have other options and I will be going east of OKC next time! Tricked me on trick or treat night! Never again "NEVERwin"!!!! And I had said I would be happy if I can just play awhile or break even. I didn't get either one!!

My husband is always difficult to buy for and the staff was patient with my indecisions and slow browsing.

The store was very clean and the staff was very helpful helping us find what we were looking for. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because it was difficult to navigate an individual in a standard size wheelchair within the different departments.

Sooner Mall

4.1
(3418)
Shopping mall
Sooner Mall, located in Norman, Oklahoma, is a covered shopping complex that has been a popular destination since its establishment in 1975. With over 60 stores including well-known retailers like JCPenney, Dillards, and Old Navy, the mall offers a wide range of shopping options. Visitors can also enjoy various dining choices at the food court. Additionally, the mall features entertainment options such as a trampoline park and virtual reality experiences.
This mall has been a place to go for years, since I was a child. Norman has a lot of places to go, but there's not a lot of public places to just hang out without needing to spend money. With the free playplace for kids, tables and chairs throughout to relax in, multiple locations with free wifi, and many shopping locations (if spending money IS your style). There's a large variety too, multiple food options including sit-down and fast food, plenty of clothing options, an (extremely cheap!) arcade, and plenty of small stores to check out. The mall is a crucial third space, something we really lack nowadays! Support your local malls :)

It has a decent amount of stores, including Dillard's and JcPenneys. Infinity Love Jewelers is my go-to for excellent customer service and a large selection. They also do custom-made jewelry for any occasion

It's a mall. Clean. Feels safe. But like most brick and mortar facilities you can tell they're trying hard just to stay open. A few new stores help with that along with the old stores that still have excellent products. One of the safer feelings malls I've been to recently.

My kids needed to go to the bathroom, my son is very social and saw a security guard walking so he said hi, and asked if he could have a high 5, well the security guard got offended and told my son he was disrupting and bugging people and told him and his sister he would escort them out because he asked him for a high 5, my son thought he was joking but he wasn’t, my son came to me as fast as he could because he was afraid he was going to be escorted out for a silly reason. I do not know the guys name but it you are thinking he was being disruptive let me show you what the security guards do instead of guarding, and walking around the mall. They enjoy having a chill break instead of doing their job.

((Would really like someone to reply or have a further way to contact some form of management)) I stopped in today and purchased a blind box from a pop up stand in the middle, located near bath and body works. The seller was very polite, however upon purchasing and getting home, first, I realized the item I bought was a counterfeit Naruto plush that was sold to me for $25. I don’t mind too much it was fake.. but the seller told me it might be real. So I chanced it. That isn’t the main issue, the main issue is I was charged an extra $3 for the item and I think it’s just sneaky and dishonest on the sellers end.. didn’t feel like I would have this sort of issue at sooner mall, but I guess now I should shop with caution.
Cloe D — Google review
Not a bad mall, not a lot of occupancy but that's pretty common with most malls anymore (Thanks Amazon and Walmart!). One of the classic draws for me, though, is SoonerCade . . . A throwback to the 1980s classic arcade . . . but Better!! $10, play all day, all games, and they've got all the classics too. The food court is OK, but there's also an El Chico if sit-down Tex-Mex sound good to you (and the service is excellent, too). A lot of the mall regulars -- Bath and Body Works, Auntie Ann's, etc. Not a bad way to spend some time of an afternoon

Arena

Auditorium
Arenas & Stadiums
The Lloyd Noble Center, located at the University of Oklahoma, is a vibrant hub for collegiate sports and events. Whether you're cheering on the Sooners in football or basketball, this venue offers an electrifying atmosphere filled with camaraderie and excitement. Visitors have enjoyed various experiences here, from graduation ceremonies to thrilling games. The facility is well-maintained with adequate restrooms and effective sound systems that enhance any event.
The Lloyd Noble Center may be an older facility with an unusual circular layout surrounding a rectangular court, but it offers a surprisingly great viewing experience. This was my first visit, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but with a capacity of just 11,000, there truly isn’t a bad seat in the house. One major perk is the free parking—a rarity at many sporting venues. Even more impressive are the concession prices, which are shockingly affordable. This season, they’re running a Sunday basketball promotion: 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 popcorns, and 4 sodas for just $40—less than the cost of a single ticket at many other college basketball games. The atmosphere was great, even though the arena was only about two-thirds full for a matchup against SEC rival Kentucky. Overall, it was a ton of fun and I'd absolutely recommend catching a game here!
Wallace G — Google review
Easy access and plenty of parking spaces. Walk and entry to the Center has been smooth. The Center is laid out well and is easy to navigate. Seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room for legs. The venue is used for various events.

I was shocked at how big this place was. I'm also very happy to hear how many school districts visit the Lloyd Noble Center to host graduation ceremonies (including my own recently). They have plenty of concession stands and also some awards that were around the area especially the ceiling near the arena. Some of the basketball games here I heard were pretty fun, though I will not factor that in my review since I haven't got to experience it personally, but overall I think that this is a great place to see basketball and graduation at many school districts (or college even depending on the institution). There is a clear bag policy at Lloyd Noble for those who need to know upon entering.

This was our first experience at Lloyd Noble Center and I'm glad to say that our Jayhawks came out with a W. Our seats were surprisingly inexpensive, we were eight rows behind the visitors bench and it was only $85 before all the ridiculous taxes and fees. I love the fact that there is ample and free parking. But I am surprised at the lack of concessions. S E See ya! Rock Chalk.

Chips 'N Ales is an English-style pub nestled within the Riverwind Casino complex, offering a fusion of English pub classics with American flavors. The menu features delectable options such as Alaskan cod with hand-cut chips, chicken pot pie, hand-battered chicken, and juicy burgers. The restaurant exudes an authentic pub ambiance with its exposed brickwork and subtle under-lighting.

Food had great taste. I had higher expectations of the shrimp havarti though. The presentation makes you believe it’s a full bowl of good cheesy shrimp but it’s really 6 holes for the shrimp to lay in melted butter and then a thin layer of cheese is melted on top. The massive pretzel and queso was damn good. The service was good, however we did have to wait for a refill on drinks for a bit. I’d go back but not order the shrimp havarti.

We went there about 9pm, after a very long day, and we had worked up quite an appetite. I was grumbling to my husband about wanting to go somewhere else because I was hungry and was worried it would take forever to get our meal. I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to seat us and get our order taken right away. The food was good, but not necessarily top notch. I think a lot of it is prepared ahead of time for the impatiently starving like myself. I would way it's 3.5/5 stars for quality of food. The longest part of the visit was when the technology crashed, and we had to wait to pay. I was okay with this, since I was fed, so I don't think that should count against the restaurant.

This was my friend and I's favorite restaurant but it has become the worst restaurant in all of Oklahoma City. We came to this restaurant to have fun and order dinner but my friend found some hair inside his food. When he found the hair we were disgusted to eat our food and when this happened we asked for the manager to tell him what happened ,that we found some hair inside our food, What do you think he told us? First He was very rude person with us, he didn't apologize to us and didn't say anything to us or make us to fell better He said I can't do anything about it , he said Do you want me to bring you a new food? Of course we told him we don't want to eat here at all, and we not coming back . When you eat in this restaurant, be careful to not find hair in your food. It is a disgusting restaurant and very bad customer service by the manager whose name I think is Delton. This restaurant does not deserve a even one star. It deserves zero.

Thai restaurant
Nestled in a casual strip mall, Thawan Thai Cuisine is a delightful gem that showcases the rich flavors of Southeast Asia right in Norman. This eatery offers an inviting atmosphere perfect for a laid-back lunch or dinner. The menu features an array of mouthwatering appetizers like Pot Stickers and Chicken Satay, alongside tempting seafood options such as Pad Ped Catfish Fillet and the ever-popular Tom Yum Soup.
A favorite Thai place of ours in Norman! We had friends try Thai food for the first time here and they loved it. My husband likes ordering the pad see ew with chicken at a level 2 and I like getting the Panang curry with tofu at a level 1. The curry is made with coconut milk, so it is perfect for someone who is dairy free. Be mindful of the spice level as a level 1 can still have a slight kick. The dishes are already naturally flavorful and if you’re looking for some heat, I suggest a 3 or 4. The spice is not at all painful but more of a favor amplifier if you like spice. I can’t handle spice, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Overall, if you’re looking to try some Thai food, this is the place to go. Staff is friendly and it’s such a cozy environment to enjoy some good Thai food as there are plenty of options on the menu!

I had the chicken pad Thai, and it was hands down the best I’ve had since being in Oklahoma! The flavors were perfectly balanced—savory, slightly sweet, with just the right amount of tanginess. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the chicken was tender and flavorful, and the portion size was generous. The restaurant itself has a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Thai food, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Basil Fried Rice with beef (Kao-Pad Ga-Praw) and Red Curry with pork (Gang Deang). Very generous serving size and we are so happy that there's enough rice for the curry! Even at a 3 spicy (out of 5), there was quite a kick to the curry. The bell peppers were bright and a great compliment to the creamy curry. The fried rice was savory with a lovely strong taste of the basil and they provide a slice of lime that gives it a great acidity. The bell peppers were a bit overcooked, but still a great dish overall. Service: 5/5 - friendly and quick service Ambiance: n/a - ordered food to go. Value for price: 5/5 - one of our favorite Thai places in quite a while. The food is absolutely delicious, generous portions, and such friendly service!

I’ve been to a lot of sonics here in Norman, and they are so stingy with their strawberries and lime!! I went and got my strawberry and lime water this morning from the one on Chautauqua and let me just say they nailed it!!! My water was perfect. The Limes and strawberries was on point just how I like it

Took a detour here a little while back. By far the slowest Sonic I've ever seen. An hour wait for a slush (which to their credit was fine), under 2 bucks. I know I'm not the only customer, but it probably takes 2 minutes to make. An hour is absurd. Solely due to the very lengthy wait for such a simple item, I will not be returning to this location. Edit: This seems to be a theme for reviews for this particular location. I would highly recommend people avoid this location, for Sonic to take note of this pattern and take a close look at this store, having a number of these reviews in hand, without each one of us having to submit a individual complaint to the location's site that the corporate owner suggests. I will pass on that. These reviews should suffice.

Nestled in Norman, Oklahoma, Legends Restaurant has been a cherished dining destination since 1968. This family-owned gem offers an inviting atmosphere where guests can indulge in delectable surf 'n' turf dishes while enjoying the soothing sounds of a piano player. Renowned for its intimate setting, Legends is the perfect spot for romantic dinners or special celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries. The restaurant prides itself on personalized service, providing customized menus and packages to suit every taste and budget.
I recently visited Legend's Restaurant, and it was nothing short of magical. The live piano performance created an enchanting atmosphere, with the pianist masterfully transitioning from soothing classics to lively jazz pieces. It added a touch of elegance that elevated the entire dining experience. As for the food, it was equally impressive. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The menu offered a variety of options catering to diverse tastes, and the attention to detail in both taste and presentation was evident. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met promptly and courteously.

Their lamb chops are simply out of this world! Having enjoyed lamb chops across several Mediterranean countries, I never thought anything could top those experiences—but Legends Restaurant has truly raised the bar. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor, with a beautiful sear that added the perfect touch of smokiness. The seasoning was spot-on, enhancing the natural richness of the meat without overpowering it. Every bite was a delight, and it’s clear that the chef is a master at their craft. My compliments to the chef Joe and Rebecca sparks! The ambiance of the restaurant is equally impressive—warm, elegant, and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both special occasions and casual outings. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall wonderful experience. If you’re a fan of lamb chops, trust me—this is THE place to be. I can’t recommend Legends Restaurant highly enough. It’s a true culinary gem that deserves every bit of praise!

A Timeless Gem for Date Nights Legend's Restaurant in Norman remains a quiet, charming spot perfect for a romantic evening. While the decor shows signs of its 52-year history, this only adds to its warm, inviting atmosphere—a refreshing contrast to the sleek, modern designs many restaurants have adopted. The food was excellent, with the chocolate cake standing out as a true indulgence. With reasonable prices, a cozy ambiance, and a touch of nostalgia, Legend’s continues to be a delightful choice for a memorable night out.

Our reservation was at 5pm on a Wednesday and my husband and I were the only two diners in the restaurant until 6! It was very nice and quiet for us. Our server Kasey was so sweet and helpful. This was our first time ever going so we had a few questions and she helped us through it all. The building is really cute and reminds me of restaurants in Europe with the exposed brick and eclectic decor. I got their special drink, the blushing botanist and it was so good!!!! We also got the honey brussel sprouts and man, I just could not stop eating them. The house dressing is totally worth it! It was perfect on the garden salad (thank you for the suggestion Kasey!). I ordered the roasted duck and my husband ordered the lamb chops. Both dishes were amazing! I've been looking for a good restaurant that serves a good roast duck and I have finally found it! My husband loved the lamb and his mashed potatoes. Then for dessert I got the creme brulee and he got the rum Bundt cake. Both so delicious!! This was our first time coming here but it will NOT be our last time. The food and service are top notch and the price tag is affordable for what you get meaning we can go more often than once a year. I'm already trying to plan our next visit!

We held a celebration of life luncheon at Legend's Times Two this past weekend for our mother and couldn't have been more pleased. The private building was perfect for us. All the food was delicious, the service was very good, and Becky was a pleasure to work both during the event and while we planned it.

Legends in Norman is such a gem! The margaritas were perfectly mixed, the warm bread basket hit the table fresh and comforting, and the live piano music added such a classy, relaxing vibe to the evening. Everything felt thoughtful—from the service to the ambiance. I can’t wait to dine here again. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger a little longer.

This is easily one of my favorite spots for a nice dinner in Norman, Oklahoma. My girlfriend and I always come here for anniversaries, celebrations, and graduation dinners. The food is excellent, the service is consistently great, and we love walking in to the sound of live piano music. I can’t wait to come back to Norman and eat at Legends again!

For day 2, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Sutton Wilderness Trail Park. Not quite as popular as Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 9 hours.

Well... the campground itself seemed in need of some TLC. The road in, and the parking area definitely need some maintenance. Surprisingly, the bathrooms were well kept. The RV spots in the 1st Hickory Hill are are WAAAYYY too close together. We were right on the water, and there was plenty of space to walk our pups.

Beautiful state park near Norman, Oklahoma. Very peaceful setting. Lots of trees for shade, but also lots of mosquitoes. We stayed at Turkey Pass, which is on the south side of lake just off Highway 9. We had nice Verizon cell service there. They definitely need more signage. You don't have to check in, which is nice, but the only way to get a map was to drive around to the visitor center on the north side. Visit Native Spirits Winery when you're there. It was just 8 minutes from our campsite.

Restaurant
Thunderbird Casino is a long-lasting establishment providing various table games, slot machines, a lounge, a dining area and live weekend musical performances. The selection of slot machines is impressive while the beverages offered at the bar are affordable. Their grill serves delicious food with one of their specialties being catfish platter. However, whether they payout or not can be unpredictable as sometimes winning big is possible but other times $50 may only last for 10 minutes.
I had a great time at Thunderbird Casino! They’ve got unlimited fountain drinks, ash trays and trash cans everywhere, and a ton of staff around which was nice. A few machines were down, but there were still plenty to pick from. Didn’t walk out a big winner, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. Still had fun and would come back!

I only play their free play or pick up the free stuff. A white elderly lady came up and stole my husband's wallet off the machine and got away with $2,500.00. She dropped the wallet off at the players club like she just found it ( right on camera ). Surveillance have her on camera taking the wallet and stealing the money and yet nobody did anything about it. The tribal police were notified, we made a report, but still.... nothing was done about it. We used to spend close to 500 a week in there, we don't anymore.

Jogging Paths & Tracks
The Sutton Wilderness Trail Park is a scenic nature reserve with an expansive lake, rustic woodland trails, and a charming wooden gazebo. The trail spans 1.3 miles, meandering through lush trees and featuring both paved and pea gravel sections. A fishing pond resides in the heart of the park while alternate paths offer varying views for hikers to explore. Visitors can also access other recreational areas such as Rock Creek Park or dog parks nearby.
Awesome! Loved it! I was in town because I drove my daughter and her friend to Soonercon. I love to check out walking trails in new places. I wish I would have had more time and that it wasn't so hot, or I would have explored more. They've got disc golf too, I saw lots of people playing it. Nice lake with fishing too.

Pros: Nice for a city park. Part of the time we could almost forget we were in town. Nice walking trail Epic view of the lake! Cons: we saw several piles of clothes laying around and some gang graffiti.

Pretty nice set of trails, they've recently done some work thinning things out in areas. The cedar smell was great right after the thinning project. The proximity to the dog park and disk golf course are also really nice. The lake/reservoir is nice and people frequently fish from it. They've also recently expanded the parking lot. It's got plenty of shade but also, open grassy trails. A good variety and a good park.

This park is a great place to check out! The trail is wide and flat, approximately 1.3 miles long. Easy hike with almost full shade when trees are leafed out. There is a pond and fishing is allowed. There is also a gazebo at the front. A fair amount of parking although it can be hard to find a spot depending on when you go.

Andrews Park is a vibrant neighborhood park offering various amenities for visitors of all ages. It features playgrounds, picnic areas, a basketball court, and paved paths for leisurely strolls or morning workouts. The park also boasts a splash pad that's popular among kids, although it's noted that some adults use it as a free shower. Additionally, there's a skate area with concrete features including a bowl and half pipe.
Nice oasis in the middle of Norman. Plenty of room to find your space. The skate park was hopping tonight.
Steve A — Google review
This is a pretty good little park with lots of different areas to run, swing, slide, climb, sit, and an area to play tennis. There are two different areas with swings and slides. One area is enclosed with a latch gate for younger kiddos and the second area is for older children with longer/taller slides and swings. There is also a climbing area with a tall rock for older, more agile kids. The one downside to this particular park is the homeless population near the eating/restroom area. For me, it is a little unnerving and I tend to steer clear of it when I do see someone 'staying/sleeping' there. Not my favorite park in Norman.

This park use to be great to visit, since 2019 and a little before then it started to have a homeless population problem pretty bad. During covid it became worse this park unfortunately is filled with homeless people at all times of the day middle of the day they are sleeping at the bathroom. There's drug paraphernalia and drug use going on in this park. What makes this even more sad is that the city of Norman municipal office building is right across from them and the police station. Its just very sad that our tax dollars that pay for the upkeep and for this park in general for it to be overrun by the homeless population. Its not safe to be there for very long like maybe 30 minutes if that long. So so sad

Awesome atmosphere! Great smells and an authentic environment. Service was good, food came out quick! Parking is tricky with it being on Main Street, come with extra time to walk if need be. Not my favorite Thai spot, but it’s good and a cool spot if you’re in the area. Fried chicken rolls were good, the tempura was a little weird… The plates were presented nicely. Could use a bigger portion for the price… Staff was very kind, we got caught up talking and stayed a little after they closed. They were very polite and worked with us lol

My Top Pick for Thai Cuisine in Norman! Having explored all the Thai dining options in Norman, I can confidently say that none match the culinary excellence of this gem. The standout dish? The Chicken Pad Thai – it’s unrivaled in taste and quality across Norman. What sets this restaurant apart is its focused menu. They don’t spread themselves thin trying to offer everything. Instead, they excel in what they do offer, ensuring a consistently delightful experience. A tip for those on the go: the service here is impressively fast! If you’re short on time, a phone order will have your meal ready in just 5 minutes. Highly recommended for both the food and the efficiency!
Max K — Google review
For the prices of the food here, you would expect quality over quantity. But the restaurant lacked in both. The food was abysmal. We ordered panang, pad Thai, and the meat salad (Larb). The panang was overpowered by the coconut juice and was too thick for my tasting. The pad Thai, a simple and signature dish for every restaurant was much too greasy and lacked the authentic taste. The Larb in particular was bland and tasted like they boiled the meat and threw it on top of the salad. It was so distasteful we couldn’t even box it to go. The only credit it deserves is the presentation. The food came out looking great! We expected the service to overcompensate the quality of the food but we were wrong again. With only 2-3 tables within the restaurant, our appetizers took over 20 minutes to come. The waitress was nice but was inattentive. The restaurant looked nice inside and outside but with the prices and the quality of the food, we most likely will not be returning.

This place is very cute and intimate! Great for a date night! The food is very flavorful and delicious! Their dishes are quite spicy so be cautious with the level of spice you choose. This is definitely my favorite Thai spot in Norman ! Make sure to try the pineapple fried rice it is scrumptious!

i placed a mobile order about 10-15 minutes in advance before i showed up. and i spent genuinely 40 minutes in the drive through line, (there was 2 people in front of me). i ordered a variety of things, one of them being the munchie meal that comes with the side of tacos that i did NOT receive in my order. and if we’re honest guys, the tacos are the cheapest and easiest thing to make on the menu. to leave them out is just lazy and poor service. in addition to my missing tacos i purchased and was most excited to try the mozzarella sticks and that’s what i had the highest expectations for, unfortunately it was all stick and no mozzarella. literally, there was no cheese in ANY of them. the workers were unresponsive and inconsiderate. it was a complete dead part of the night and there’s just no excuse for this terrible experience. this jack in the box has wasted my time and money. and i hate to say this isn’t the first time either. i don’t have much more to say other than, Do Better.

I'm over it. The last 4 times we've gotten food here it's been terrible. I mean old fries, old tacos, old burgers. Food is never more than like warm. Service is mediocre half the time, and bad the other half. This last order my tacos were just pure grease and old, my burger had so much sauce it was literally leaking out of the wrapper into bag, the fries were so old and stake it was pathetic. Also the fries were just dripping with oil. Even our drinks were mediocre. Just all around terrible quality food. I'll put this on my list of do not eat from now on.

When I pulled up to the speaker. It was so loud. It sounded like she was yelling at me and she said wait. When she finally came back to the speaker, I said I had an order to pick up and before I could even finish speaking, she said pull the second window and basically interrupted me. There was only One other car in line so even if they’re shorthanded, it’s not like they were busy. The order took over 20 minutes to get out and the lady was very rude. She had dark colored hair with blonde in the front. She was an older lady with red glasses red rims, and glasses were black on the sides. Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had picking up an order. I’ve never been yelled at and interrupted when I was nicely asking for anything. I can see why this Jack in the box has such low ratings. I will never come to this Jack-in-the-Box again.
Crystal W — Google review
First time trying Jack in the Box. I got the Ultimate Cheeseburger, a side of fries, and two tacos. To borrow a Gen Z term, the burger was terrifically mid. Almost no flavor to speak of, but with pickles and more mustard (I think they gave me a single dot of mustard) or whatever condiment you like it could be better. The fries were kind of rubbery, although I had a few that were decent. However, the star the show were the legendary tacos. Those things look like they're cooked in a dumpster fryer but they are mighty tasty. I probably won't be back for anything other than the tacos, although I might try the Sourdough Jack. I fear I might have lost about an hour of my life after eating this though.

I was ordering on the screen which I don’t really mind, but this other lady just asked a worker behind the counter if she could take her order, and the lady behind the counter gave her attitude and the sweet woman just walked out because of how rude she was. I got my food, which was a 8 piece nugget and fries. The oil for the nuggets definitely needed to be changed, the nuggets tasted questionable and I only got two down before just tossing the rest. And the drink machine was pretty much out of every drink, and there was no employee to ask about it.

I have to give credit when it is due...There has been a major Improvement in the last 90+ days..Everything has been consistent and I never have to order food and drive around to the front and wait an additional 15 minutes..

Ranch Steakhouse

$$$$very expensive
Restaurant
If you're on the hunt for a top-notch dining experience, look no further than Ranch Steakhouse in Norman. This beloved establishment is renowned for its exceptional selection of 100% USDA Prime beef, featuring mouthwatering options like filets, sirloin, strip steaks, and ribeyes. For those who crave variety, the menu also includes delectable seafood dishes such as sesame-crusted tuna and lobster tail.
The Ranch Steakhouse is a beautiful establishment with pristine private dining rooms in various sizes, as well as a full-size dining room. The staff was consistently cordial and helpful. I ordered stuffed mushrooms, a seven-ounce filet, and broccoli. Warm rolls with butter was great. The food was very good. While the broccoli was disappointing, and another guest found their ribeye to have too much gristle (especially considering the price), the iced tea and coffee were wonderful. The Bananas Foster was a delightful way to end the meal. Management was attentive and apologized for the issue with the ribeye steak. However, the problem arose because two guests split one steak, and the chef divided it incorrectly. A ribeye is naturally fatty and gristly, which contributes to its flavor, and splitting it lengthwise can result in one half being predominantly fat and gristle. The dinner with family was enjoyable, and the staff was fantastic. Overall, it was a 5-star experience. Thanks….. Ranch Steakhouse!

Wow!! Been waiting for a special occasion to dine here since moving to Oklahoma. being a chef and a ex restaurant owner, I appreciate great food and customer service. Every aspect of my dining experience was 5 ⭐️ . Walked in at opening with no reservations, not dressed for the occasion but was greeted with respect and smiles. They were able to accommodate us even on a Saturday night with no reservation. Stephanie was are server , I can’t say how wonderful and knowledgeable she was about the menu, drinks and specials, her table touches were delightful and welcoming. I play a game when I go out to eat called Hire or Fire. I would’ve hired Stephanie 100 times over and over again, You can tell she’s a well seasoned server and takes pride in her job. All the food was amazing. We really enjoyed the American Wagyu special and the escargot and chicken fried steak was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and try more options and definitely will request Stephanie to be our server again. Well Done ! From the host , to managers , bartenders , food runners and Chefs . Thank you

For the first time in my restaurant reviews I will first put emphasis on the service James our waiter sets and exceeds the standards as a waiter from beginning to end he was completely helpful in describing the food and helping us make wine and food choices. He is definitely a gem to this restaurant and in my opinion should be a trainer for any and new waiters and waitresses. As far as the food definitely recommend the meatballs the calamari is good but in my opinion over breaded and overly salted. The country fried steak is huge probably can fit 2 to 3 people. The Brussels were very good and flavored perfectly. The tuna is the best I ever had. Will highly recommend this restaurant and definitely ask for James.

Absolutely stunning steakhouse! The atmosphere is very classy with a touch of western and almost lounge like! The food was very delicious: the blue cheese Brussels Sprouts were showstoppers, and the steak was top 3 iv had in my life IMO. Robert, our server, made us feel like home, always checked in on us, very friendly and charismatic and recommended the Dolche De Leche and holy hell that was a 12/10, just DAMNNN! The GM David came by and was extremely friendly and we talked for about 10 min! To top it all off, a football celebrity (Whom I will not name for their respect) frequents the establishment time to time and they walked right by our table. Everyone there was so nice and friendly, and really that makes the dinner experience so much more enjoyable! We really can’t recommend The Ranch enough in Norman and although it’s a little pricey: you get fantastic quality, classy atmosphere and people who are friendly and give a damn.

5 star Ranch in Norman. Also in OKC. Fine dining and a large palate to choice from. Especially Cocktails and wine cellars. Food is the key ingredient here. Terrific atmosphere. Comfortable but not overly masculine. Seating are also relaxed, as rushing to rotate tables, doesn't dominate an evening out. Pretty much the Best Steakhouse in town.

Gollee!! Stellar food, but my mantra I tend to live by is that “the most expensive food is not that impressive” or something along those lines. Many places have jacked up prices but are not anything too special in my opinion. This is one of those establishments. And don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time here, as well as the food and the environment. I do recommend you endeavor to try this establishment at least once in your life. After all, we only have one so you may as well experience a night at the Ranch Steakhouse!

Worth the splurge! Every bite was absolutely delicious! Such a tender steak, the sauce was out of this world, more than enough tender crisp green beans and a pile of potatoes! The hot yeast rolls were worth those carbs and the quality butter made the calories worth it!!

We celebrated my wife’s birthday at The Ranch in Norman last night, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. When I made the reservation, I requested a booth and noted we were celebrating a birthday. The team seated us in a comfortable booth in the main dining room, which was perfect. Our server, Stephanie, was fantastic. She immediately set the tone for a relaxed, unhurried evening, gave us time to settle in, and started us off with seasonal fall cocktails from their updated menu. She presented (from memory!) an impressive list of appetizers and entrées, which was both helpful and impressive. We began with the Louisiana crab cake appetizer, phenomenal and highly recommended. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We enjoyed their warm Portuguese bread rolls, then moved on to beautifully prepared filets with baked potatoes and a creamed spinach & artichoke side. Every bite was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. At the end of the evening, my wife enjoyed a decaf pour-over coffee, and Stephanie thoughtfully sent her home with a slice of key lime pie to enjoy later; such a nice touch that made the birthday feel special. The food was excellent, the service exceptional, and the overall dining experience flawless. We wouldn’t change a thing and look forward to returning soon. We will definitely request Stephanie again, and kudos to the bartenders, chefs, and kitchen staff for a wonderful evening.

The Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is a red-brick football arena that serves as the home field for the University of Oklahoma's Sooners. On game day, the atmosphere is electric and lively. The stadium has over 85,000 seats available and offers a variety of vendors selling souvenirs, food, drinks, and other items commonly found at college football games. During halftime, mascots can be seen walking around and taking pictures with fans.
I have been to every stadium of the teams in the SEC. I am an Alabama fan and my team lost but, by far, Oklahoma has the most-hospitable fans of any team in the conference. Fans were welcoming upon arrival, the stadium was awesome. Great atmosphere for a college football game!!!

It's just a great place to go. The energy is just phenomenal here. That's honestly the quick and easy of this review --- it may not be the biggest, or OU may not be top in the nation, but the crowd is always a boomer situation. It's always a blast to go to a game here. Love it.

This is not pointed towards the fans of Oklahoma as they were a class act! I have been to venues all across the world and have never in my life felt more unsafe than this venue. I brought my two children ages 3&5 and to have a mob of people not divided by security or stadium staff is not only unsafe but could be fatal. This was the worst I have ever seen at in my life. Not only were multiple fans crying and trying to just gain breathing room but I had to get to a point for my family’s safety to plow my way through the mob to our seats. You would think for a larger event that the stadium would prepare. They definitely did not. As for the fans, thank you for welcoming us from out of town with open arms. From the restaurants to the fans seated next to us as well at the game everyone welcomed us to with open arms and were very respectful. Unfortunately our excitement to see a blue blood battle turned into a very traumatic experience for my wife and children. Not only did this happen but the same entrance was allowing multiple fans In with glass bottles from tailgates and not enforcing the clear bag policy. We will never be coming to game at this venue again.

Park
Reaves Park is a spacious outdoor area that offers various recreational activities and amenities. Visitors can enjoy the large picnic and BBQ facilities, as well as the sports fields and courts available for different games. The park also features a play structure with a castle theme, which adds an element of fun for children. However, some improvements could be made to enhance visitors' comfort, such as providing more shaded areas and seating options.
Always the best time here for fourth of July. Has become a family tradition. Safe, clean, just need to add more food trucks!! The lines were burly all day. But its worth it because the atmosphere is like out of a movie.

My first time going with friends to a Medieval Fair and it was a blast! Lots of great vendors, food, and entertainment. Only complaint was the lack of shade and sitting places. We got pretty good sunburns and tired knees despite attempts of sunscreen. Not sure where any water fountains would've been either with all the booths.

We were there for the road to the show softball tournament. We played on fields pretty much 13, 14 & 15. Location to sooner softball is amazing which we thought the fields would be great being close to such a nice facility, but we were wrong. The fields could definitely use some updating and the facilities could definitely use updating. I hate to see that there were so many teens from out of state to come play at this facility And to see how bad the facility has got. Especially after playing one day at the tournament at Fire Lake and then coming here. I heard multiple out-of-state teams voice concerns about coming in the future.

The University of Oklahoma, established in 1890, boasts a vast natural history museum and several historic buildings on the National Register. The campus is home to world-class museums such as the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Western History Collections, and the National Weather Center.
Our family met on the campus of the University of Oklahoma on Fathers Day to stroll with our new granddaughter. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Campus was not very busy as it was a holiday Sunday in the summer. There were several other families walking, riding bikes and scooters, enjoying the mild weather. The University was doing quite a bit of construction, but it still looked beautiful. We parked for free behind Dale Hall to walk around the campus and Campus Corner. One of the OU gear stores on Campus Corner was open early, and we bought a few things. Lots of families with children were visiting Baked Bear, a great ice cream shop. It was a beautiful way to spend part of Fathers' Day.

Went to a football game, and was surprised by how welcoming the locals were even though our team gear was their opponent. We couldn't walk anywhere without people asking if we were enjoying our time there amd asking if everyone has been good to us. Absolutely loved how nice everyone was. I wasn't expecting rude or bad anything, but i was blown away by just how endearing and welcoming the locals were. Keep it up Norman, yall are great!

The University of Oklahoma was the best 4 years I could have asked for! I enjoyed so much at this great University! The architecture for one is a beautiful sight! You feel like you are in a different world when you live on campus and its filled with exciting things to do and fun people to meet! We cant forget about the athletics. OU leads the nation with some of the most entertaining teams in almost every sport. Its truly a place where champions go. Also the education is incredible. I attended the Price College of Business and have seen many wonderful habits that they instilled translate to the betterment of my career. I am forever thankful to this University Boomer!

Museums
The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, situated on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, is a renowned university art museum with an extensive and diverse collection. The museum boasts over 20,000 objects including East Asian art, French Impressionism, 20th century American painting and sculpture, traditional and contemporary Native American art, Southwest art, ceramics, photography, contemporary art, and Asian art spanning from the 16th century to present day.
My special thanks to Clara Rosenthal Weitzenhoffer for her Impressionist Collection, which she donated to Oklahoma University. It was the largest gift of French Impressionist art ever made to a public University in the United States. And my pleasure also for the Portrait of the Art Dealer Alexander Reid, Sitting in an Easy Chair by Vincent Van Gogh❤️

Visiting the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art was a great experience. Located at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, it is easy to get to and has a friendly atmosphere. The building is modern and attractive. Inside, the art collection is impressive. The American art section, featuring works by Georgia O'Keeffe and Allan Houser, stood out. The Native American art collection was also very interesting and gave a good look into their culture. The contemporary art pieces were unique. The museum does a great job of educating visitors. There are informative plaques and interactive displays that help you understand the art better. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, ready to help with any questions. The gift shop is nice too, with a good selection of art-related items and souvenirs. From Tuesdays to Saturdays, it is open from 10 AM to 5 PM and on Sundays it's open from 1 PM to 5 pm. The museum is closed on Mondays.

We had a return visit to Norman after many years. This museum was on our list and we were glad not to miss it. The outdoor sculptures caught our eye, but I wondered where the Jimenez mustang was only to find it installed in a gallery inside. First on my list was the Frankoma exhibit. Wonderful. I learned about the few pieces I have. Then the exhibit of the art of the Southwest and the Weitzenhoffer Collection displayed in recreations of their rooms. Well done university museum.

There were a lot of cool pieces, and the few staff we encountered were very nice. I couldn’t carry my backpack through, but my companion could take her belt bag. The staircases were beautiful and everything was very clean and well laid out. Cool museum to check out on humid or colder days if you’re looking for something free to do inside. I’d love to go back again when they change the exhibits.

What a hidden gem! We are avid museum visitors and this museum in Norman has a wonderful collection thoughtfully presented.

The museum has some truly amazing works of art. I was particularly impressed by the first wing on the left after entering through the main entrance. The synesthesia exhibit was neat and I was thankful for the line/crowd control to keep the inside from being so chaotic. However, as someone who has visited hundreds of museums and who frequents them quite often, I was taken aback by how smothered I felt by one of the security personnel. At certain points following our every step closely to where it made myself and my teenage child feel very uncomfortable. For that reason we will most likely not be back.

Bar & grill
Library Bar & Grill is a classic pub located in Campus Corner, offering a wide selection of 32 beers on tap and a menu featuring delicious pizzas and burgers. The establishment boasts a secluded patio, perfect for enjoying the pleasant weather. Visitors have praised the friendly and attentive staff, with particular mentions of Harvey and Amber at the bar, as well as Courtney and Katie on the patio.
Great neighborhood bar! I come here reasonably often and enjoy the very wide selection of draft beers with excellent service from the bartenders especially Harvey and Bri. The food is better than it should be for a small restaurant and it always comes reasonably fast. But on busy days like game day or happy hour it can get busy. If you enjoy the energy of the crowd this can be a big pro. Though if you’re expecting nachos in 4 minutes you can be disappointed. On nice weather days I love to sit on the patio and get great service from servers like Katie and Morgan. Whether you come for an hour or three the Library is a great place to eat, drink and relax!

Vibes, 10/10. Service, great. Food, mid. My pot roast sliders were bland. Skip the au jus and put some sauce on those bad boys. My girlfriend's short rib grilled cheese was more flavorful, but the arugula on it was limp and just didn't hit. We didn't drink, but the drink prices looked reasonable. Cool bar area. We hope to come back sometime to try the drinks... Maybe they'll make the food taste better. But yeah, vibes are great, staff was great, cool little spot.

We love The Library. Been coming here for 10 years and it's awesome every time. The pizza was great and the beer selection is always extensive. Only complaint would be lack of a changing table in the bathroom for my little guy, but besides that, this place is a 10/10.

We have an OU grad that we had a grad party booked for at a beer garden in Norman. When we arrived at the other venue, we were told they were closing their kitchen. Highly disappointed, and starving, we called the Library to see if they could accommodate a party of our size. They said they could and they went out of their way to make sure we all had our food ordered before the kitchen closed. The food was great and the drinks were amazing! Thank you so much for turning our grad party flop into a success!

A classic college pizza joint, just steps away from the University of Oklahoma campus. I ordered a veggie pizza and enjoyed the thin crispy crust. The toppings were generous. I also got a garden salad that was also good. Sinatra was playing, and a Germany-Latvia youth hockey game was on one of the TVs on the wall.

I placed my order online at 11:50, received a text saying they're busy so it'd be ready for pickup between 12:06-12:21, on the way over I received a phone call saying they closed five minutes ago & how much longer will I be. It was a little past 1200 but the hours posted online says they're open till 0200. Your employees and customers will be happier if hours online reflect actual business hours. It was also upsetting to pay $4 to add shrimp to my pizza especially when I only received 4 shrimp & they were salty. For the most part, the food is generally good but customer service could use some work. Please update your hours.

Classic college pizza joint right off OU campus. The service was quick and the food came out hot. I ordered the house salad that was mostly chopped romaine lettuce with small handfuls of tomato and red onion with a sour house dressing (could use some more salt and honey to balance it out). For the main dish, I ordered the veggie pizza which had a good cheese pull and could’ve used some more sauce. As a New Yorker, the pizza crust was a little too thick for me. I can tell this spot is fun during game days with all the tvs and drink deals posted all around the restaurant. Stop in for college pizza if you have a hankering.

I know it is game day but you would think the bar tender would pay attention to the patrons at the bar. Instead she waits on the walk ups. I sit there for 30 minutes with an empty bottle and she waited on 3 walk upstairs next to me first. It would have been 4 if the the walk up had not insisted that they wait on me first. I ordered 2 beers because she is so slow. The pizza is the best in Oklahoma in my opinion.

Please do not support this business if you care about people with disabilities, as this business will blatantly and unapologetically discriminate against them. On 10/7/2025 around 1 pm, I came into this establishment with my study group and my service dog to get lunch. The man behind the counter, who I later learned is the manager, told me that ‘they don't allow dogs in here’. I informed him that my dog is a service dog, and he is not legally allowed to ask me to leave. He then, illegally, demanded to see her paperwork. As there is no requirement for service dogs in the United States to be certified by any organization, I informed him that there is no such thing as legitimate service dog paperwork in the US. He then went quiet for a moment, but after I ordered, he told me that I would need to eat outside. I informed him that it is illegal to make me eat outside just because I have a service dog, and he responded with ‘we will take that chance’. Additionally, there was no outside seating at this establishment, so he was just using alternative wording to kick me out. My service dog was very well behaved the entire time we were in this establishment and was not causing any kind of disturbance. As the man I spoke to in the restaurant did not identify himself as a manager, My parent called to speak with a manager the next day, and spoke to a man called Shawn, who I believe is the same person. Over the phone, he was belligerent and combative, claiming it was his right ‘as an American’ to deny anyone service for any reason. This is not true in cases of discrimination. After this, he told my parent to speak to his lawyer. When information on how to contact his lawyer was requested, such as the lawyer’s name or phone number, the manager simply hung up the phone.

The food is very average. It's not gross but for the price the quality doesn't match up. I'd definitely go somewhere else for much better quality and taste for the same price like Marcos. The pizza reminds me of school cafeteria pizza for looks and taste. It's very bland and leaves your mouth feeling oily after you eat it. The garlic knot bread was fried and you could also taste the oil. Super disappointed with that since garlic bread is my favorite. The salad was honestly very good I don't know why they don't use that same cheese quality on the pizza. For six dollars you get one chocolate cannoli which isn't great for the price considering the size. It felt overly sweet. Honestly, I really wanted to like this place. All the reviews were glowing and very positive but my experience was disappointing. I really hope their quality goes up. But I won't recommend this place to friends.

Chinese noodle restaurant
I have wanted to try Magic Noodle for a while and finally got the chance. The restaurant was crowded, but I managed to get the last available table. Despite being full, it had a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. It was fascinating to watch them handcraft the noodles, just like in Guangzhou, China. The steamed and fried dumplings were excellent starters, and the Rou Jia Mo (Chinese hamburger) was particularly outstanding.
I'm always looking out for a good Pad Thai, and I found one here. The pork and cabbage fried bao was amazing too. I live 45 minutes away, and Uber eats got it here fast and hot. The portions were satisfyingly big, and the prices were not unreasonable. It's a great act of will to wait for my husband to get home so I can share this amazing experience. 😂

This place has fantastic food and friendly staff. Their prices are reasonable, especially with their huge portions. You can see them in the kitchen hand-pulling the noodles fresh. I got the Seafood Hotpot, and it was quite literally the best bowl of soup I've ever had. It was only 17.99 and I had enough leftovers to feed me for three more meals!

My favorite noodle spot , everything here is nicely balanced. The staff are friendly, and even though they made a mistake with my order, they quickly fixed it with a new one. Both the noodles and dumplings were good, and their lychee tea was quite tasty too. I’ll definitely come back again.

This place is phenomenal. The people are very polite, the food is delicious, and getting to watch them make the noodles is pretty cool. We ordered shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, Xian noodles, and Dan Dan noodles. Too good and serving size were pretty hefty. Would recommend anyone to come here.

This was my second visit, the first visit was several years ago, and I thought it was just ok. After this visit, my opinion hasn't changed. I ordered the Stir Fried Shaved Noodle dish with tofu. I asked the waitress twice if the tofu was crispy, and both times she assured me it was crispy. Out comes the dish with tofu, but it's not crispy tofu. The tofu is called dried tofu. I had never had this type of tofu nor was I familiar with it, so I had to do a search online . The tofu has a firm texture and tastes bland. Because of its firmness, it did not absorb the flavor of the sauce, which was also bland. The sauce tasted like beef broth with a hint of soy sauce added to it. I think just a little bit of sesame oil added to this dish would have improved the flavor. The chicken egg roll and sauce were mediocre. Service was satisfactory, just a slight miscommunication regarding the tofu.

Over the past (almost) two years, my family and I have greatly enjoyed visiting and eating at Magic Noodle. Although it is further out for us, it is worth the longer drive to dine here! Our experiences here with the food, service, and staff have always been positive. We love eating here for special occasions or just when we would like to have some good Asian food in Oklahoma! We always get the Chicken/Pork Potstickers, Chicken Stir Fried Shaved Noodles, Dan Dan Noodles, Scallion Pancakes, Shredded Potato Salad, and Soup Dumplings. For certain ones, we get specifically a couple orders of it! Here, everything is so delicious and well-cooked. Every time we go, the quality has been consistent, and it has never disappointed us. The Soup Dumplings are the main highlight of our meals at Magic Noodle. It is wonderfully hot and fresh, and it usually has a decent amount of soup per dumpling. Some places I have eaten at before had little or close to nothing in terms of broth. That does not completely take away from eating the soup dumplings, but it is kind of in the name! Here, we do not tend to have that issue though! Personally, I love pairing the Soup Dumplings (and other dishes as well) with the provided chili oil. My sibling enjoys eating the Chicken/Pork Potstickers. I usually do not gravitate towards eating them, but at Magic Noodle it has the perfect amount of crunch and accompanying flavors of the filling! I can speak similarly of the Scallion Pancakes. For those, it is made with the right amount of thickness in order to maintain that crunch. Also, it works well as something more neutral compared to the Shredded Potato Salad or Chicken Stir Fries Shaved Noodles! My favorite appetizer would be the Shredded Potato Salad—it is absolutely my most favorite thing on their menu! It is not overly spicy (which is fine) but definitely does not lack in flavor! It always pairs nicely with the other dishes (as pictured in this review). The Chicken Stir Fried Shaved Noodles is awesome as well! It is so interesting to be able to watch them make it in the kitchen. Besides that, the meat, noodles, and vegetables and nicely mixed up in equal proportion to each other. Usually, we have some of this left over to take home, and it is still great outside the restaurant! Other than that, one of my parents gets the Dan Dan Noodles. Although I have had only a few bites during our times eating here, it is something I would probably get if I ever ate here by myself. In the review, I also showed this Limited-time Steamed Pork Bao. Unfortunately, I could not remember what flavor it was, but it was so good to try when they had it as a Special. However, I do not think it will be back. If you do go once or even more than that, be sure to see if they have anything else to try for a limited time! Occasionally, my sibling and I order a Tiramisu and split it. This is one of my favorite places to get it from! I feel that the flavors within the Tiramisu are balanced well. Even though my sibling does not enjoy coffee flavors usually, this dessert balances a the slightly bitter flavors with a generous amount of creaminess. It is also presented so beautifully! Often times, we take little bites to truly enjoy and savor the Tiramisu and to see who can get the last bite. We all love Magic Noodle! With its great service and atmosphere, we will keep coming back whenever we can!

Went to this place on a whim and I'm happy I did. This place was standing room only so I figured it had to be good, especially when the majority of the people waiting were Asian (I figured a place has to be legit if people of the same ethnicity are eating there). I was not wrong, this place is AMAZING. The portions are large and I ended up ordering more food just to try it. Plus they make the noodles right in front of you. Definitely a place to try if you're looking for good dumplings.

Hey! I'm the Singapore rice noodle guy with the gray hoodie from earlier. I just want to say how much I appreciate you all. There is, without a shadow of a doubt, not a single noodle shop that comes within a mile of the shining tier of flavour that is Magic Noodle. Frankly I'm glad that the one order was forgotten, because sitting in there and watching you all work was the most peaceful few minutes that I've had all week. All right, for the rest of you customer-type peoples, I have eaten absolutely everything on this menu at least twice, and there really isn't anything bad. There isn't even anything mediocre. It's all good and most of it is downright great and excellent. Whenever you add in the incredibly fair price point, frankly if I was a little more financially well off I would probably order from you all three or four times a week. My girlfriend would be livid me spending so much money on take out, but you better believe I would do it. All right I guess that's it. There's no greater comfort food, for me, then your combo Singapore rice noodles and... I don't know what to add to that. I don't have higher praise than that. You all are great, I love you. And your food too, of course. Thanks!
