I came here on a Wednesday around noon after a work event nearby at Stillwater Medical Center along with my coworkers. I'm from the Edmond/OKC area, but have never been to Stillwater before. I was excited to finally get some of the very popular Eskimo Joe's merch, and snagged a hoodie and sweater. I didn't realize how huge Eskimo Joe's is! This restaurant is connected to a merch/souvenir-type store fully stocked with everything and anything OSU, Eskimo Joe's, and Oklahoma gear. The store staff members were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has great food and service. The group I came with ordered the regular cheese fries and bacon cheese fries. The fries came with ranch and were delicious. A few coworkers who were with me have been here quite a few times because their children go to college at OSU, so they gave me some recommendations. I ordered the Classic Joe burger. This came with a choice of side, and I got the pasta salad with Italian dressing. The pasta salad was underwhelming, but the burger was very satisfying. I appreciated that the bun didn't fall apart and kept all of the inside together.A couple of my coworkers ordered the chicken sandwiches. The chicken breast pieces were huge, but tough. Overall I had a great experience and would come back again and maybe try some cocktails and more menu items - probably will avoid the chicken sandwiches!

Stillwater, OklahomaAlways wanted to come here and finally made it. Let's see what the hype is all about. There were three people working the hostess stand at 1:15 on a Monday. We had a 20 minute wait for a table. I asked the hostess if we could sit upstairs as it was very cold downstairs. They were very accommodating and kind. I asked to see a menu, and when I went to return the menu, they asked me what I thought I was going to get. They even offered a few suggestions. As busy as that front area is, I am thrilled to see the kindness of all of the members at the hostess stand. Special shout out to Kloee for her care and kindness. We were seated upstairs and our waiter is Lance. A quiet guy. But don't be fooled. He is incredibly nice and very concerned about making you happy. I explained I had an allergy and he went back to the kitchen, came back out to tell me that the manager has taken it upon himself to make my meal so that there would be no cross-contamination After the food was delivered. He immediately came to see how things were. Genuinely kind, concerned, helpful waiter. I would love to have him as my waiter any day. Thanks Lance!We started with the infamous cheese fries. They were loaded with hot gooey cheese. The potatoes are cut with the skin still on. They're delicious, but eat them fast. When they get cold, they lose their fun flavor. They are served with a side of ranch dressing.The restaurant is mainly stone and wood. Stone walls, wood floor, wood tables. Lots of orange, yellow and blue flags and balloons in the restaurant. Not sure if this is standard or a special occasion for the month of January. Light music, but not too loud. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with sautéed mushrooms as my side dish. My husband ordered the burger with cheese. He ordered it with a side of mac & cheese. There is a one dollar up charge for both of our sides. However, we did not want fries, beans, applesauce, coleslaw. Those things come at no extra charge.The buffalo chicken sandwich is very saucy. I dare say too much. The sauce does not taste like buffalo wings sauce, but more like a red hot sauce with pepper seasoning, Lots of pepper seasoning. The chicken is a bit dry. The bun is served cold. I think a suggestion to grill it would make the sandwich much better. It was accompanied with lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomato. The sautéed mushrooms are good. Definitely sautéed in butter and red wine. My only concern is they were on the cold side.The cheeseburger was average. Nothing special about it. Neither good, nor bad. The mac & cheese is not worth the extra money to order.Overall, the best part of the meal would be the cheese fries. Although the food overall was not my favorite, I would definitely come back if I were in the area. Big thank you to the staff that I encountered. They made my experience all that more enjoyable.

Great marketing/branding, but the food was very average. The restaurant inside has a lot of character and they have been around for 50 years. This was my first visit, I ordered the Little Joe with fries. Since the server described it like a White Castle burger I also ordered a little Joe with chili. These burgers were definitely not like a white castle in taste or size; they are the size of a McDonald's regular hamburger and are not cooked in butter & onions. The little Joe with chili was their regular hamburger on a plate covered in a mountain of chili. Needless to say, I could not eat all of this.The burgers were very average tasting as was their beanless chili. The fries were good, though there were too many small pieces.They do have a full bar. Draft beer is basically all domestic swill, with the good crafts being served in cans only.

2 StarsThe ambiance was fun, and the service was fine, but the food was a big disappointment. We ordered the blackened chicken dinner, and it was the smallest, driest piece of chicken I've ever had. The Frito pie was mostly just Fritos with barely any chili. The only thing we actually enjoyed were the cheese fries. On the plus side, the prices are reasonable, so at least we didn't spend too much. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere and don't mind mediocre food, it might be okay, but I wouldn't go back for the food.

Eskimo Joes does bar food right! Always have the best service while we are there even if it's packed! The bacon cheese fries never disappoint they were so good. Decided to try a chicken sandwich instead of their awesome burgers. The Fowl Thing sandwich was super good. The chicken breast was cooked perfectly and seasoned very nice.Cade was our server and he was so nice and friendly. Very attentive and got us what we needed promptly. I honestly can't say enough great things about this local Stilly gem.

This was my very first time to eat at an Eskimo Joes. I am a long time wearer of their tee shirts. In my 20s and 30s, I had relatives going to OSU. Each Christmas, I would get a new E J tee shirt. About the time one sister in law graduated, another would start. After years of advising for them by wearing their T shirts, I finally had lunch at Eskimo Joe's. I learned a lot today. All these years, I have been laboring with the false idea that Eskimo Joes is a pizza place. No pizza. It's more of a burger place. Move it in day is probably not the best day to evaluate the restaurant. We were there to help our grandson get moved in to his dorm. The university was packed with students and their parents, grandchildren, and grandparents helping them get moved in to their dorm. We knew wherever we had lunch, there would be a long wait. At least we got to spend our wait time in their merchandise room. It gave us something to do. Today was my first time to get cheese fries. It's never sounded good to me someone else ordered them and I discovered fries make a better base for nachos than chips. My husband and grandson got classic burgers, my daughter got a blackened chicken dinner, and my son in law and I got Little Joe burgers. I had decided that the classic burger is a better deal because it comes with fries and lettuce and tomatoes. I like small burgers but I have to have lettuce and tomatoes. My Little Joe burger had no lettuce and tomato ... just meat and a bun. My son in law explained that he gets the Little Joe because it has onions cooked into the meat. I decided he was right. The meat in a little Joe does taste much better. I had a bite of my husband's classic and the onion cooked with the meat is much better. My grandson took his lettuce and tomato off his classic because he doesn't like lettuce and tomato on his burgers. He gave it to me, so I was happy. The blackened chicken was too salty and not spicy enough. The French fries were greasy and not good. We ate them, anyway. It might be that they are much better when the restaurant is not as busy. I will give them another try. We will be going to Stillwater frequently to see take our grandson to lunch. I will post an update on the fries.

Move in day for grandson OSU freshman. Lunch time. Iconic OSU hangout near campus. After a 30 min wait got seated. Waiter advised us that kitchen was way understaffed and the soda machine is broken. Finally got our food. Burger was pretty good but the fries had definitely been under the heat lamp waaay too long. Grandson says he'll start exploring for other dining options next time we visit.

Good ol joes, stilly's one and only. We like this place, but really only for the sweet pepper bacon cheese fries and milkshakes. The burgers are subpar and I wasn't aware they don't fully cook their burgers and I was not a fan. It's a big place and they still get pretty busy even when schools out. They've got lots of history scattered throughout the place and that's pretty neat. It's worth coming for the experience, but don't expect the best with the food.

I was excited to try this place out, I was greatly disappointed. I can say between the price and the taste of the food, everything was a disappointment. $9 for a small plate of fries with some melted Colby cheese on them...and the chicken sandwich tasted rancid I truly believe the only reason this place is still in business is because it's in a college town

Very fun college town atmosphere ! Would be amazing to come on a theme night or Saturday night. The food was okay, I don't recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich (buffalo sauce was not that good) and my friend ordered pasta salad but they sent a salad. Our server Aidan was great tho!!
