FoodI had Habanero Hawaiian Pizza, and it was okay. It wasn't spicy at all. Normally, I would think that there would be more flavor, but not as tasty as I thought it would be, especially if it's wood oven made pizza. Service The server is friendly with that sweet southern hospitality. She deserves 5 stars. Ambiance Music background, clean and spacious place.Sadly, I had to give 3 stars not because of the staff or the ambient, but because of the food.

Food was good lots of options I loved their appetizers and salads however one of the cooks came out to our table to ask how our steak was which is a wonderful trait but you could tell they did not wear a hair net while cooking and the person smelled of cigarette smoke strongly that was a turn off to going back. The layout of the restaurant is a little confusing but once you kind of walk around its a neat little hangout spot.

Had to come to McAlester and decided to go somewhere we haven't been. We are glad we did. The fried mushrooms are delicious, the Buff Supreme was really good and the Messy Jesse was good.

If we are just going by price and food quality I'd give Compass 4 stars. Reasonably priced, pretty solid wood-fired pizza. The stuffed mushrooms were good too. But unfortunately I have to drop it to 3 stars as the setting is weird and the service was bad, teetering on horrible. It's located downtown at the back of a building that looked like it had a flower shop, a coffee shop and a salon to walk through before you got to the restaurant. I understand you gotta do what you gotta do as a business owner, but it was a bit strange. That didn't detract from our experience, but when we DID get into the restaurant, it's not a good sign that you feel unwelcome and frankly a burden to the staff. Which is exactly what we felt like. We were told "sit wherever". "To drink?" "We have Pepsi products but Pepsi out" as she walked away. It never got better from there. Too bad because I'd recommend the food but when coming thru town next time, I think I'll try somewhere else.

The Delilah pizza and Poblano bacon Mac and Cheese were very tasty and the service was friendly. We recommend that you give The Compass a try!

This place is a good find in main downtown area. Everyone passing through town should definitely make plans to stop by, except closed Sundays.Wonderful bread for a starter!We ordered stuffed mushrooms that were good.Then the Greek Chicken pasta with banana peppers and bacon with the best sauce!I will be wanting this again for sure.Ordered a Individual chicken pizza that was good and bigger than I thought. They have several sandwiches that sound good too.Next time will try something with meatballs. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.This is not just a pizza place but an Italian heaven.Such a relaxed friendly place with good service.Tell owner, Carolyn from the old neighborhood sent you! I bet he gives you a big smile!

Amazing pizzas!! Excellent gluten-free crusts and fantastic pizza combinations that are great spins on the classics. Everyone we interacted with was super-friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely return every time we are in town!!

So about two weeks ago me and my friend went to eat at the compass and everything was going good the service was good until the end when we were paying. Our server was splitting our checks and when I went to pay she snatched the receipt out of my hand before I could tip and said " I need that". I thought nothing of it at the time until I looked at my receipt it came out to $20 mind you my meal was only 12.99!! I was gonna tip her anyways but she took the receipt before I could and as I walked away turns out she filled it out herself and gave herself a hefty tip. I am very disappointed because I love the compass. I can't remember her name but she was short dark brown hair that was up in a ponytail and was at least in her 30s.

When I came across this place online I wasn't really sure what to expect. When you're in McAlester most times people always tell you "Go to Pete's Place! 1925 Pete's Place!"Well I went to Pete's around 12:30 for lunch and it was dead. I was also struggling with whether or not I wanted to tackle an Italian Meal in the middle of the day, so I started to do some research. The reviews for The Compass were pretty good and the pics looked great so I made the 10-15 drive in a different direction to give it a shot.Now upon entering I was even more thrown off. This restaurant sits at the back of a coffee/antique style store in one of those old downtown strips. (Pic posted) You know the ones! Hesitantly I pressed on to the back. I was greeted by a nice young man who sat me and then approached by a very nice waitress. This place was great about giving recommendations. Although the seemed to be know for the pizzas and pasta I just wasn't feeling it so I started to ask about the menu a bit. I felt like the people working their enthusiastically voiced their opinions about what they liked and it all sounded great. I myself really like wings and always tend to try them if they are on the menu. With what appeared to be a lot of great flavors to choose from I went with the traditional approach and got the standard Buffalo sauce as my app. I don't know what they are feeding their chickens in McAlester but these great big party size wings made their way to the table with an excellent buttery rich buffalo coating on them and they were really good. Now I'm not going to sell you on the best ever, like I said I've had tons of wings over the year and that's always a tough call. Plus I plan on saving the best part for last. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich This thing kicked ass, a perfectly fried chicken breast on a house made bun perfectly accompanied by a pickled coleslaw and mango habanero jelly. This place really caught me off guard and I highly recommend giving it a shot! I know I will be and I will be taking the next recommendation from the staff. That is if I can stop myself from getting that Jerk Sandwich again!
