Pub W

Don’t have a clue what this place is like. They couldn’t be bothered to open on time.

50% perfect… if you know what to order. Catfish, boudin balls are absolutely a return-​to love. However, étouffée is merely hot but flavorless and I suspect not cooked long enough. Rice is stale underneath… rotate the bags. The garlic bread it comes with is an angry shot put not worth anyone’s effort to chew. Cocktail sauce and creole mustard are vibrant. At gratin potatoes has an inexplicable smoky flavor. Restaurant is very hot so eating Cajun food here on a summer day is a sweaty endeavor. Bread pudding in smaller sizes is great but the consistency and citrus undertones leaving you only wanting a little bite to begin with.

Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in along time while traveling for work. My only regret is I found this place on my last day in Oklahoma City. If you go, get the bread pudding for dessert. You’ll thank me later.

Great sports bar. The Norman location is a bit nicer and not nearly as loud. Ok, we were there while the OKC Thunder beat the Spurs, but even the TVs were too loud. Nearly impossible to carry on any sort of conversation. The food is very good. The spicy shrimp tacos are outstanding. Nice selection of beer and some killer mixed drinks

Menu and beer selections have improved greatly since remodeling from the previous restaurant. Watched the recent Thunder/​Golden State game here and the bartenders provided great service.

First time here and I got the Perfect Margarita. Definitely the best I have ever had. We ordered the pretzel with beer cheese for an appetizer and it was soft and the cheese was smooth and delicious. EXTREMELY impressed. Wow.

Absolutely the slowest and most unpleasant experience thus far. 20 min for drink order, had to flag our waiter down to even place a food order. 45 min later we asked for fruit to keep our child calm while waiting for even our appetizer. Another 10 goes by our server is bussing tables and doing closing duties. Both tables beside us have placed orders, eaten and have since left. My very upset wife who is never ever one to get up and talk to a manager finds one, asks for a fruit cup or some sort of snack to calm her down. She says okay; goes and to run other tables food. Comes back to ask us how things are, still no fruit or snack. I said we are about to leave. All I need is something to get on my daughters tummy to calm her down. She finally get it and brings it right out. Still no appetizer. Another 10 goes by, food comes out with appetizer. Everything is cold. And to top it off, he forgot to place my daughter order of pigs in a blanket, just ended it boxing it up.
To sum it up, my wife and I are one of the younger couples around are frequently treated like our money isn’t as good as the couples next to us. It’s now over an hour in, my daughters food has still yet to arrive. Our waiter is still focused on other tables and lacking to pay attention. We have missed our movie. Food was cold. We Will not be back. Awful. Don’t bring children here either. The bar tenders over serve the patrons, they’ll be loudly talking obscenities. Then another customer called them out for cussing and «they don’t care it’s a fu@#ing bar». Don’t waste your time at this establishment. Followed these people drunk driving to Louie’s, almost hit a motorcycle rider on a double lane change without signaling. Called the police also!.

Pubdub (am I cool enough to call it that? probably not if I had to ask), anyway, Pub W is a nice addition to the Memorial madness chain restaurant area. I have been two times now, once for a work lunch with a big group of coworkers (good place for a big weekday group lunch, they got us in and out quickly), and once for a Sunday brunch.
Food — for lunch I tried the fried shrimp which I’m not sure they have on the menu anymore? It was pretty good and the tartar sauce was real tasty. Several of my coworkers got the Farm Fresh Chicken Salad and it was a big hit. For brunch I had The Killer B’s burger, it was really yummy as well. My husband got The Chupacabra (be sure to ask for the spicy pulled chicken) and really enjoyed it. And the mimosa’s are only $ 2 at brunch and boast fresh squeezed oj. $ 10 well spent ;)
Place — lots of TV’s (but not overly loud), tons of seating and tables you can push together for big groups watching the game, etc. No patio that I know of at the Memorial location, I believe that must be just the Norman one.

My wife and I recently went to Pub W to have a few appetizers and cocktails. We ordered the fried chicken wings (naked) and the fried shrimp. I didn’t like the chicken too much. I felt it was undercooked (as I like my chicken fried hard) and lacked seasoning as well. On the other hand, my wife did enjoy the shrimp as well as her cocktail. All in all, Pub W is ok but I lump it in w/​your typical sports bar type of restaurant. Nothing special here in my opinion.

Taking Sunday brunch to the level it should be in NWOKC on Memorial Road.
You can’t go wrong with Migas, Huevos Rancheros or the new Sweet Potato Pancakes. Husband had the Chicken and Waffle but I didn’t get my fork over to his plate fast enough before it was gone. Needless to say he was ready to come back for more.
I couldn’t get enough of the Sweet Potato Pancakes, originally ordered for my kids to share but ended up eating most myself. The bourbon maple syrup should be outlawed, it’s that good and I am sure just as healthy. Ha.
We arrived Sunday right when they opened so I believe the reason it may have taken longer to get our food than a normal brunch restaurant is because of how many tables were sat at the once? Regardless, Pub W is a nice change in the line up of other Brunch restaurants that line Memorial road.

Pub W is a common go to in our house. It’s just R so convenient since we live so close to the turnpike.
Our last visit, this past Saturday, we went for a late light lunch. Sat at the bar — which we love doing!
I got a Moscow mule, my favorite drink. I was a little disappointed with it though. It was SO gingery. I couldn’t even finish it. I got the hummus plate for lunch, thought it’d be be perfect light lunch. The hummus itself was good, little bland. Could use a spice or two. the pita bread was amazing– soft and warm! Usually I get the chupacabra (sp?) sandwich which is so great — the spicy aioli is the best.
My fiancé got the shrimp tacos and loved them a lot! He was surprised by how much dressing was on them — but enjoyed the spice it gave.

After having just moved from California this place is a great escape. The food and drinks are exceptional. There’s a decent amount of variety of craft beers from all over, so I was able to enjoy my familiar California favors but also test out some new Oklahoman brews. I do wish there were more choices on the wine and cider list though! The flavor of the food has been fantastic each visit.
I appreciate that there’s an area of the restaurant where it’s not so sports-​bar type, just wish I could have sat in that section the last time I went!

Im here literally once a week. Great pub food. Awesome beer, wine and cocktail selection. The vibe is cooler than most in the area but still appropriate for a business dinner or dinner for two! The staff Is always eager to help and very attentive. I will continue to make this my favorite eatery on memorial. Great job guys!
Ps– try the spicy chicken nachos and bread pudding ! You’re welcome!

I’m definitely a fan of Pub W. When I first heard of Pub W, I expected it basically be McNellies 2.0. Well, I was wrong.
I’ve been to both Pub W locations, but the OKC location is definitely my favorite of the two. The Missus and I decided to have dinner here after a movie and were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of Pub W and just how chill it was.
We started with a coupla beers and the Pot Roast Potachos appetizer. Great Grandmother’s spatula were the potachos delicious. I don’t even like jalapenos or grilled onions, but they were incorporated perfectly into the potachos. Well played, Pub W!
As for my main course, I ended up choosing the smoked turkey club on a pretzel bun. I’m usually not a fan of pretzel buns, but these were actually quite tasty. I was a big fan of the combination of honey mustard, smoked turkey, smoked bacon and muenster cheese. So, so good!
Lastly, our server was one of the best we have ever had. Very kind, super attentive yet not overwhelming and very well-​spoken. The Missus and I will be making a return trip!

This is a great new location for Pub W. I’ve visited the Norman location and didn’t get a chance to try the food, but liked the concept. I was happy to find out they were opening this location since it’s a lot closer for me! I’d categorize Pub W as an upscale pub with great food and a pretty nice beer selection. I think they have at least 25 taps and some of those are local, which I always appreciate! It’s also very spacious and I think it’d be great for a large group.
Now for the food, you must order the pot roast potachos! Housemade chips topped with pot roast, cheese, onion, jalepeno and barbeque sauce. It’s an interesting take on a typical nacho dish and all of the ingredients work really well together. Because we ordered a heavy app, I ended up getting the fresh market salad for my entrée. This isn’t an entrée sized salad, but it was plenty after the potachos. The lemon vinaigrette was delicious! The menu had so many tasty sounding options that I’m sure you would be happy with anything. This is some good quality grub!
Last but not least, we had the most polite, attentive server. He truly made our experience worthwhile.

SooooOOoOoOOoo yummy! Like… WOW yummy!
I absolutely LOVE the brunch mimosas! Great deal! $ 2 a glass or $ 7 for a carafe, which holds 4 glasses. I don’t love breakfast food, so the rest of the brunch menu is not super interesting to me, however, they have decent prices on their regular menu items, so I’ve tried several of those.
Most recently I had the newest item which was the lamb burger, garnished with blue cheese. VerrrRRRRrRrRRrrry tasty! Loved the generous portion of blue cheese on the burger. Cooked nicely. I asked for a side of butter lettuce, tomato and onion, so I had half of my burger with the accessories and half without. Both versions were yummers. The quality of food is good enough to not need the accessories, but sometimes it’s nice to have them, just preference I suppose. I’ve also tried the shrimp tacos which were good, only came with two so I wish there was one more, but was a decent portion with the rice and beans. The fish & chips were delish! Not too heavy and nicely battered.
The service is always friendly & prompt so that is a great characteristic to have in ensuring I will come back!
Love the ambiance. Super cute, kinda rustic with a neat, clean feel. I like that it’s not too bright but also not too dimly lit. Just enough to give it a more elegant feel, but still can see everything.
I haven’t had a chance to try the rotating beer Thursdays, but LOVE the idea! & will hopefully get to try it out eventually.
Won’t refrain from returning!

My first few trips to Pub W were just ok. The food was just so-​so and the wine list had decent options, but none of them stood out as a favorite. All of that changed after discovering their Roasted Poblano Corn Chowder and Mama’s Chicken Casserole.
I met a friend for happy hour one afternoon and wanted something to snack on so I ordered a cup of the corn chowder. My only regret was not ordering a bowl as this chowder was perfection in a cup! It was the perfect consistency and had some heat with the poblano without being overpowering. For dinner, I planned on ordering something to take home that could also heat up well since I wouldn’t be eating it right away. Mama’s Chicken Casserole fit the bill perfectly! The chicken and rice base with lots of cheesy goodness melted on top and finished off with tortilla chips for crunch make it the perfect comfort food. It’s also the perfect serving size that fills you up, but doesn’t leave you miserably stuffed like some casseroles can. This dish is normally served with black beans and they are a nice compliment, but nothing special. The other night, I substituted the balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts and they were great!
My other food recommendation is the Pot Roast Potachos. They’re served on homemade potato chips and the pot roast is super flavorful and they really bring the heat with the bbq sauce and the grilled jalapeños. This could easily be a meal by itself or is a great appetizer for sharing!
As far as wine goes, the Layer Cake Chardonnay is just ok. However, on my last visit, I tried the Caymus Conundrum, which is a white blend and I now have a new favorite!
My husband and I used to frequent this place when it was Wes Welker’s and with the discovery of some tasty menu items, I’m happy to say that it’s back on the normal rotation!

I’d been wanting to try out Pub W and heard great things about the one in Norman. We finally tried it out and I liked it a lot. Great beer selection and great bar food too!
We started with the fried Brussels sprouts, which were definitely Oklahoma-​style fried. When I’ve had fried Brussels sprouts before, they’ve been lightly pan-​fried with just a little bit of a crispy coating, but these were deep fried. I’m not complaining, they were delicious, just different from what I was expecting.
For dinner, I had the Cool Bries sandwich, which was a grilled chicken sandwich with apple slices, fig preserves and brie cheese. It was so good and definitely fancier than what I expected from a pub menu. I had it with sweet potato fries, which were also really good. All in all, we enjoyed Pub W and there were some other yummy-​sounding menu options, so I’m sure we’ll be back!

Pro: Love the atmosphere — great music and plenty of flat screen showing sports (NFL pretty season) — food was okay — not bad, but not the greatest — the price is fair —
Con: our waitress wasn’t great — forgot coffee refill and when asked what is good, she didn’t have an opinion — she spilled coffee on my friend (accident does happen, but with bad service, it made a bad experience.
I will give this place another try once NFL starts.

This is not a pub. This is a sports bar.
It was loud, had so many TV’s that they were hanging almost on top of each other and lacked anything remotely resembling atmosphere.
The food, however, was beyond what I expected for this place, so good job on that. I had the «cool bries» sandwich, which was excellent and satisfied my craving for fruit on food.
