Holy crap. Best fish taco I've ever had. Who's idea was it to put feta cheese on a fish taco? I wish everyone did that. The siracha mayo is out of this world. The staff is so nice. I'm sitting at the bar. The bartender definitely loves her job. Cool as hell. Very rockabilly. This place is a little out of its element and that's what makes it stand out in the commercial restaurant capital of the world. Blues bar atmosphere. This place reminds me of Atlanta or Chicago. Go here to eat. You won't regret it

I don't normally go with a five star the first time I have eaten at a place but this place is great. I would truly give it 4.5 stars if i could because I don't silly names for dishes--but other than that--it was really superb. Hamburger was cooked greatly--which is always a nice surprise--i don't see that often. And it's nice to have a good place to eat on Merdian--because it's a real dead zone done there. Go enjoy.

Had a great, filling fatty meal here last night with some folks from my training class. They had MASSIVE mugs of Shock Top for $3.75 so I was competely won over early. We started with their "special" of cheesy, brisket nachos. The chips weren't the typical nachos, and at first I wasn't a fan, but they grew on me as we inhaled this scrumptious dish. The queso blanco cheese was fantastic, and the great number of peppers gave the whole dish a spicy bite. The brisket was cooked all day apparently -- and although not as tender as I had expected with that description, it was deliciously flavorful! We also got the green lady cheese fries as recommended by many other yelpers. They were also delicious, but together with the nachos a little over the top as they also had lots of cheese and salsa verde on top. They were also a little salty for me... and as the QUEEN of salt, that's saying something! For my burger, I chose the Classic (to equalize the intense amount of cheese and brisket in other parts of my meal). After cutting into it, I realized they had never asked us how we wanted the patty cooked. Mine was much more rare than I usually prefer it, but it was juicy and thick. The veggies - lettuce, red onion, and tomato - were all extremely fresh and perfect! Coupled with the two appetizers, I only ended up eating half of the cheeseburger though. All and all, a REALLY cheap option for a delicious meal. But, make sure you expect to take some tums afterwards because it's heavy.

I really feel like this place should be called 3 Star Grille. I had read the reviews and heard from some people it was awesome and just didn't have the same experience. We ordered the green eyed lady cheese fries for an app, and this was probably the best decision all night! The green chilies were awesome and the fries and queso mix was a perfect combo. We got the One Way Out and the Reggae Mon as cocktails and they were just ok. They weren't very good mixed drinks and I didn't enjoy mine at all. I ended up having to add ice from my water to mine--it was so gross. We saw the bartender looking at the menu to see the ingredients so I'm not sure if she'd even ever made a drink before. I ordered the Willie with ground ribeye, and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak. We shared the Elvis chili fries as a side. I must start off my saying I'm a burger connoisseur, so I love a good burger, this one tasted like a salsbury steak they used to serve in the school cafeteria, and my friends Philly was fine, but nothing special. The Elvis fries lacked depth, the chili was bland and the cheese was flavorless. I hoping to try again, the green eyed lady fries were definitely worth the visit :)

I was on a clean eating challenge, so I opted for the Grilled Fish Tacos instead of a burger. I asked for the Sriracha mayo on the side and that wasn't a problem at all. I liked the flavor of the sauce but I didn't miss it in my tacos. The tacos still had plenty of flavor without. My husband got the burger (spicy one). The waitress warned him it could get pretty spicy and she wasn't wrong. Luckily he can handle spice pretty well so he enjoyed it. We got our food pretty quick even though it seemed to be busy. The owner even stopped by our table and talked to us. I wouldn't mind stopping by here again (and finally getting a burger for myself) when I'm in the area again.

In today's world of online reviews naming your restaurant Five Star Grille, regardless of the etymology, is a daunting proposition. Luckily this establishment lives up to it's name. I decided to stop here while I was in town on a business trip since it was new and got good reviews on here. The staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive but the star here was the food. I had a burger and it was exceptional, probably the best I've had in quite a long time. The location is also within walking distance of the better part of a dozen hotels. Additionally the owner, Don, stopped by to ask me about my meal. This level of involvement is usually a good sign for a restaurant. If you are in town I highly recommend stopping by.

It's a bit far for me but the reviews convinced me to try the place out. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I didn't experience anything worth 4 1/2 stars (save the service, which was very good). My wife and I split their smoke on the water burger (pulled pork and bbq sauce on top of a rib eye ground beef patty), and it was "fine". My wife felt it tasted like a hot dog, and honestly I could barely taste the burger beneath the pork and sauce. It was just sort of filler, which is not what you want in a patty. The fries (not included with a meal) were good, but that's not really worth writing home about. The decor is nice enough and it has a full bar if you're into that. Still, not a place I'd feel the need to visit again or recommend, at least for their burgers.

Joining the conversation with five stars for Five Star Grille! How happy are we to have a new locally owned restaurant down here by the airport? First we got Medio Tiempo, which I love, and now this! Kasey and I stopped here when I got home last Friday, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The grilled chicken sandwich was great, and so was the mushroom and swiss burger (of which I got to try a bite). The fries were also very good - we tried both the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. Our service was great, and the GM came over to talk to us, which I thought was a nice touch. The music was also awesome, which makes sense since the owners are clearly very into music as you can see from the posters on the walls and the menu item names. Also - props for having F5 and DNR on tap. Maybe they would make me an FDR? I also saw they carry The Show wines, not something you see on many menus around here, even though they're great wines at an excellent price point. I'm sold and will be back, next time airport pickups bring me out this way!

I live in Edmond and to be honest this place was not worth the drive. The food was not bad by any means it was actually very good. We ordered the barbecue nachos and for myself I ordered the hotel California (mushroom burger) and it tasted wonderful. But it was nothing special or anything to memorable I feel like I could go somewhere closer and get the same thing. The truest issue was the bugs! I don't know if it's because the door kept opening and shutting but we had flies and gnats galore at our table. Seriously off putting.

This place was absolutely amazing. Service was out of this world, but the food was out of this universe! Green eyed lady cheese fries were off the hook. Golden fried hand cut fries that clearly never frozen covered with a green hatch chili and fresh made queso. The chicken Philli was also out if this world too, but look forward to trying one of their burgers.

As stated in another review, Don Elliot came to the table and introduced himself. I understand that not every owner will be able to do this at every restaurant, but it really does make an impact on me when the owner takes the time to listen to their customers. Thank you for that, Don. I will happily support your business. I passed out your menu at my place of business to all the foodies in the office and put in the good word. As far as the food. The fries are hand cut and are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Allman Brothers burger, because you can never go wrong with The Allman Brothers! Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and swiss. yes.. it was as good as it sounds! I am really excited to try the other menu items. Excellent quality of all ingredients used on the burger but... special mention needs to be made to the bacon... great choice on whichever bacon you use guys! I am looking forward to returning!

Overall - Probably won't make the drive again, but if you live/work in the area, it's worth checking out. Food - Great burger, however slightly overcooked. Drinks - Beer selection was terrible. Drink selection was amateur. The only thing they have going is a fantastic bloody mary mix and Moscow mules with real ginger beer (Crabbie's). Atmosphere - Fine (for the price point). Service - Excellent! Really the shining star of this place besides the food. Their afternoon shift change was a little rough, but everyone was very personable and friendly.

Service was excellent! Food was average. Would not drive out of my way. Burger tasted frozen- hot dog was ok. Burrito was too spicy. I got the sweet potato fries - not included with the meal and they were the best part.

Wow! This place needs to come to San Jose California! The drinks were refreshing and well made. The starters were already a meal with Fritos chili pie and green eyed lady cheese fries! Wow I wanted more and my chops were teased! I was able to try ....The willie and it had just enough chili and cheese and the pattie was moist and very flavorful. The Smoke on the water with slaw on the side was juicy with pulled pork and side of chips! Oh my dip those in honey mustard!!!! Then the Dock of the Bay had just enough spice and kick! Great philly!!! Also..... DONT JUDGE ME!!!! The highway to hell corn dog was a fat hot spicy 1/4 beef with jalapeños battered!!! I was quite the porker!! I LOVED THE WAITRESS!!! I believe her name was Nichelle. Too adorable

We were in OKC for a convention, and decided to leave the fairgrounds for some *real* food. The other five star reviews here led us to the Five Star Grille, and OHMYSTARS they were right. His burger (the Allman Brothers) was juicy and flavorful. My grilled fish tacos were tangy and spicy. The beer was cold. The service was perfect: fast and hospitable and friendly, but very relaxed. The restaurant's ambience is very relaxing, as well, with muted blues and woods, and classic Blues playing on the speakers. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon stop. We liked it so well that we went back at the end of the night for a nightcap and appetizer, heedless of the actual hour. They served us anyway, once again with the same great attention and DELICIOUS FOOD. Bottom line: go there immediately and eat there often. Or ship them to St. Louis so I can.

The remodel of this ex-Cajun Resturant was well received last night by my boyfriend and myself. Until during dinner we attempted to go wifi and it was locked. The wine menu had an logon that wasn't working for my iPhone 6....hence; not going online for our movie review wasn't great. The food I had was delicious (the bird) chicken with pineapple grilled to perfection with sweet potato frys! My boyfriend ordered the buffalo burger & homemade chips. He wasn't impressed with the seasoning (he loves buffalo burgers)...he thought the seasoning had too much garlic in it; he complimented the chips! Service was exceptionally fast, (my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off the waitress tight pants:(. We spoke to the owner, Don Elliot. I praised him for the photos of musicians. He shared his connection to Allman Brothers band & history of other restaurants he has in our great city. He was a perfect host and asked us to share our experience on Yelp & FB; Twitter ... I have had this app for 2 months I have used it for resturant choices, however, never to place a review. This is my virgin review..hope you find it useful enough to go to this resturant to experience it yourself and let me know what you think of it. We would have returned to the Five star if it had stayed open (closed already:(

I ordered the chicken philly with house made potato chips. Being from the Philly area, I decided to check it out. The sandwich was AMAZING! No ketchup needed because the marinated chicken, hot pepper relish, and onions & peppers said it all! I had the chipotle ranch sauce for my chips, but decided to put a little on the sandwich...WOW!!! I would have given it 5 stars, but the sandwiches don't come with sides and are priced separately. When you include a side with the sandwich, then ill give 5 stars...sorry.

Came ALL the way from St. Louis, MO because we heard about this place. Let me tell you what we heard was CORRECT! My son got the Willie and his words were: Oh My God, this is AMAZING! THE FRIES ARE DELICIOUS TOO! If ur here, make this place a stop!

This place is great. If you love great low priced food (who doesnt) and music, you will love this place. The sandwiches are great and the brisket nachos were amazing. The staff is very pleasant with a laid back way of running a bar and a kitchen. From the outside the place doesnt look like much but you will be pleasantly suprised when you enter and see a modern laid back atmosphere with big screen tvs a full bar including good wine and a small stage setup where they have live music on saturdays and sundays. I guess this place just opened in december but i could see these all around the states especially in cities crazy about music. Wish they had one in st louis.

We had high expectations, based on reviews, and our experience verified a 5-star rating for good, interesting, food, and surroundings. It made me wish we were not just passing through Oklahoma City, and could return for a live music night (and sample more of the menu). If we get the chance, we will come here again. There is an entrepreneurial intelligence apparent in all aspects of this restaurant, and I confess this took me by surprise (my bias). It is geared toward a sophisticated crowd. There is a choice of self-order or wait staff. Our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Sinatra. Check out posted photos of the menu to get a feel for the interesting food.

Stopped in before checking in to my hotel. Nice little burger joint! I ordered the "Burning Love" burger, medium rare, beef, home made bun, with no condiments. I don't have a thermometer to check, but it looked more rare then medium rare (I don't really care because I like it moo'ing). I would have ordered rare, but most places refuse so I got used to ordering medium rare. The burger is hot, messing, and delicious. I love spice. Hotter the better. I would consider this a mild, but I know most people would consider it HOT! I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and enjoyed my conversations with the Bar Tender. Over all I would wait the staff as being kind and engaging. I will be back the next time I am in the area!

The nachos with the brisket and jalapenos were really good. However, the fish tacos were ehhh. The service was okay. I will probably be back if my co-workers invite me here again, but I doubt that I would pick to come here by myself.

Had the Dock of the Bay ( Fresh-baked bun, pan-seared ahi with honey srirachi glaze, sesame seeds, honey-lime slaw, wasabi mayo.) Highway to Hell (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.) And the Green-eyed Lady Cheese Fries ( Queso blanco, roasted poblano, sour cream). Staff was very nice and attentive. Food was fresh and tasty. I didn't care for the fries or the queso blanco which wasn't really blanco. The cheeses didn't mix well for me. It was a little pricy but still good.

Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time and our waitress was awesome! I had the Burning Love burger which as you can guess by the name is a scorcher when you're talking about spicy heat! If you aren't in to spicy hot peppers this definitely isn't the burger for you! The smoky undertones in this burger makes it great though. My wife had the Allman Brothers burger which is a mushroom & Swiss burger but what made it so good was the maple and brown sugar bacon. The Green Eyed Lady cheese fries were great too. We will most definitely be back and will tell all of our friends and family about this great place.

Tilly R.
This place is awesome! I can't wait to try it again. The atmosphere was laid back and played some great music. We ordered the frito pie app and it was great and HUGE! enough for 7 of us with some leftover. For my main meal I got the fish tacos and will never eat them from another place again. Totally amazing! Others got nachos, burgers and chicken. No complaints at all, server was also really good! Beer was cold! And prices are great! I was really impressed and will be trying to again very soon! Go!! If you are looking for a cool new place with new flavored, this is it, go!

Jonathan V.
Had the "secret menu" item house nachos with BBQ brisket as seen in another recent yelp review. OMG, outrageous!!!! Also tried the pulled pork tacos. The tacos were very good. The beans and rice were so-so. Homemade fries are great, as is the ranch dressing for dunking. Gotta deduct one star for service. Our waiter did a good job, but was spread too thin with covering too many tables. He even mentioned they were short on help for how popular the restaurant has become. So that's kind of a good thing in a way. Regardless, fully recommend, especially for the nachos!!!!

We tried the Pulled Pork Nachos (forget the menu name) and the green chile cheese fries which were great also. I had the sweet potato fries and they were crisp and not greasy at all. Being from out of town it was nice to try some local beers on tap so of course I had to try DNR. The guy who runs the place (Don) was nice enough to come by and chat for a bit. Would definitely come back!

The owner was present and very friendly as well. They have live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights...we will definitely be back and look forward to hearing some local bands!

Great locally owned restaurant! The bartender is amazing with taste infusions to tickle your fancy! Vodka infusions are the best. We had The Dock of the Bay sandwich (without bread) the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese fries and The Jim Morrison bad dog brat. Finally Oklahoma is finding diversity in cuisine. Although I didn't try them, I was intrigued to find their burgers are diverse in protein sources-sirloin, turkey and buffalo. Have to go back soon because there are so many great items on the menu. See Steven at the bar for an excellent tour guide of the best tastes.

Plenty of room in this place. Good bar vibe and even better food. I ordered the Smoke on the Water (Burger with shredded pork) and it was great. My friend go the Freebird (Chicken Sandwich with pineapple and chipotle honey mustard) and thought it was amazing. The house chips are some of the best I've had, granted that's not many. The sweet potato fries weren't overcooked nor were they greasy. We went on a Friday night and heard some live music which wasn't bad. Overall, I would go back just to taste the other things on their extensive menu. Great experience!

This is my fourth visit so far. We ordered the Brisket Nachos (not on the menu), these are really good, homemade chips topped with a light cheese and sour cream sauce I think, grilled jalapeños and brisket on top of that. Then I had the Pancho Burrito with hatch green chili sauce this time, great flavor from the hatch chili.

Since moving to OKC, I have been to this establishment three times. The first time was fantastic!! It had just opened and it soon became my husbands favorite burger joint. However, the next two times we went have been a total disappointment. Once we got told they didn't have high chairs by a server, so my husband had to go hunt to make sure and found a stack near the bar. The last and final attempt we went, we waited a few minutes after being told to sit anywhere with no one coming to offer a kids menu or high chair. Again, luckily my husband knew where they were and went to get a high chair himself. Can't blame it on servers being too busy because this was 11:15 on a Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. We get the Elvis Fries every time and they are delicious!! The difficult part is paying $9 for a burger and it being dry. They ask you when ordering if you want it pink in the middle. I always say yes Medium temp. I am not sure if it is the percentage of the meat they use not rendering enough fat and being dry or plain overcooking. Needless to say with the decline in service and food quality we will no longer be eating here.

You wouldn't think this place would be amazing by its signage, but trust me, go inside! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a snack and a beer before we picked up my mom from the airport and we can't wait to go back for dinner! We got the green chili stew and it was amazing! It has brisket at the bottom. Whaaa?! And I had a "Willies Jolly Ranch Hand" it was watermelon infused vodka. Delish! Definitely go in and keep this local business going! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to go back!

Joining the conversation with five stars for Five Star Grille! How happy are we to have a new locally owned restaurant down here by the airport? First we got Medio Tiempo, which I love, and now this! Kasey and I stopped here when I got home last Friday, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The grilled chicken sandwich was great, and so was the mushroom and swiss burger (of which I got to try a bite). The fries were also very good - we tried both the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. Our service was great, and the GM came over to talk to us, which I thought was a nice touch. The music was also awesome, which makes sense since the owners are clearly very into music as you can see from the posters on the walls and the menu item names. Also - props for having F5 and DNR on tap. Maybe they would make me an FDR? I also saw they carry The Show wines, not something you see on many menus around here, even though they're great wines at an excellent price point. I'm sold and will be back, next time airport pickups bring me out this way!

I live in Edmond and to be honest this place was not worth the drive. The food was not bad by any means it was actually very good. We ordered the barbecue nachos and for myself I ordered the hotel California (mushroom burger) and it tasted wonderful. But it was nothing special or anything to memorable I feel like I could go somewhere closer and get the same thing. The truest issue was the bugs! I don't know if it's because the door kept opening and shutting but we had flies and gnats galore at our table. Seriously off putting.

This place was absolutely amazing. Service was out of this world, but the food was out of this universe! Green eyed lady cheese fries were off the hook. Golden fried hand cut fries that clearly never frozen covered with a green hatch chili and fresh made queso. The chicken Philli was also out if this world too, but look forward to trying one of their burgers.

As stated in another review, Don Elliot came to the table and introduced himself. I understand that not every owner will be able to do this at every restaurant, but it really does make an impact on me when the owner takes the time to listen to their customers. Thank you for that, Don. I will happily support your business. I passed out your menu at my place of business to all the foodies in the office and put in the good word. As far as the food. The fries are hand cut and are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Allman Brothers burger, because you can never go wrong with The Allman Brothers! Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and swiss. yes.. it was as good as it sounds! I am really excited to try the other menu items. Excellent quality of all ingredients used on the burger but... special mention needs to be made to the bacon... great choice on whichever bacon you use guys! I am looking forward to returning!

Wow! This place needs to come to San Jose California! The drinks were refreshing and well made. The starters were already a meal with Fritos chili pie and green eyed lady cheese fries! Wow I wanted more and my chops were teased! I was able to try ....The willie and it had just enough chili and cheese and the pattie was moist and very flavorful. The Smoke on the water with slaw on the side was juicy with pulled pork and side of chips! Oh my dip those in honey mustard!!!! Then the Dock of the Bay had just enough spice and kick! Great philly!!! Also..... DONT JUDGE ME!!!! The highway to hell corn dog was a fat hot spicy 1/4 beef with jalapeños battered!!! I was quite the porker!! I LOVED THE WAITRESS!!! I believe her name was Nichelle. Too adorable

We were in OKC for a convention, and decided to leave the fairgrounds for some *real* food. The other five star reviews here led us to the Five Star Grille, and OHMYSTARS they were right. His burger (the Allman Brothers) was juicy and flavorful. My grilled fish tacos were tangy and spicy. The beer was cold. The service was perfect: fast and hospitable and friendly, but very relaxed. The restaurant's ambience is very relaxing, as well, with muted blues and woods, and classic Blues playing on the speakers. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon stop. We liked it so well that we went back at the end of the night for a nightcap and appetizer, heedless of the actual hour. They served us anyway, once again with the same great attention and DELICIOUS FOOD. Bottom line: go there immediately and eat there often. Or ship them to St. Louis so I can.

Oh Yum!! This place is fun. We ordered the BBQ nachos and a burger. Everything was really good and lots of food. We also ordered some cocktails. Their cocktail menu is fun and different. Overall a very good experience.

The remodel of this ex-Cajun Resturant was well received last night by my boyfriend and myself. Until during dinner we attempted to go wifi and it was locked. The wine menu had an logon that wasn't working for my iPhone 6....hence; not going online for our movie review wasn't great. The food I had was delicious (the bird) chicken with pineapple grilled to perfection with sweet potato frys! My boyfriend ordered the buffalo burger & homemade chips. He wasn't impressed with the seasoning (he loves buffalo burgers)...he thought the seasoning had too much garlic in it; he complimented the chips! Service was exceptionally fast, (my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off the waitress tight pants:(. We spoke to the owner, Don Elliot. I praised him for the photos of musicians. He shared his connection to Allman Brothers band & history of other restaurants he has in our great city. He was a perfect host and asked us to share our experience on Yelp & FB; Twitter ... I have had this app for 2 months I have used it for resturant choices, however, never to place a review. This is my virgin review..hope you find it useful enough to go to this resturant to experience it yourself and let me know what you think of it. We would have returned to the Five star if it had stayed open (closed already:(

This place is great. If you love great low priced food (who doesnt) and music, you will love this place. The sandwiches are great and the brisket nachos were amazing. The staff is very pleasant with a laid back way of running a bar and a kitchen. From the outside the place doesnt look like much but you will be pleasantly suprised when you enter and see a modern laid back atmosphere with big screen tvs a full bar including good wine and a small stage setup where they have live music on saturdays and sundays. I guess this place just opened in december but i could see these all around the states especially in cities crazy about music. Wish they had one in st louis.

Great place! The staff are engaging and knowledgeable. Menu and food are fantastic, fresh & interesting. The hatch green chili stew is delicious. I've had/tried about 10 items off the menu and this place is a must try, and worth the drive across town!

We had high expectations, based on reviews, and our experience verified a 5-star rating for good, interesting, food, and surroundings. It made me wish we were not just passing through Oklahoma City, and could return for a live music night (and sample more of the menu). If we get the chance, we will come here again. There is an entrepreneurial intelligence apparent in all aspects of this restaurant, and I confess this took me by surprise (my bias). It is geared toward a sophisticated crowd. There is a choice of self-order or wait staff. Our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Sinatra. Check out posted photos of the menu to get a feel for the interesting food.

Stopped in before checking in to my hotel. Nice little burger joint! I ordered the "Burning Love" burger, medium rare, beef, home made bun, with no condiments. I don't have a thermometer to check, but it looked more rare then medium rare (I don't really care because I like it moo'ing). I would have ordered rare, but most places refuse so I got used to ordering medium rare. The burger is hot, messing, and delicious. I love spice. Hotter the better. I would consider this a mild, but I know most people would consider it HOT! I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and enjoyed my conversations with the Bar Tender. Over all I would wait the staff as being kind and engaging. I will be back the next time I am in the area!

The nachos with the brisket and jalapenos were really good. However, the fish tacos were ehhh. The service was okay. I will probably be back if my co-workers invite me here again, but I doubt that I would pick to come here by myself.

Had the Dock of the Bay ( Fresh-baked bun, pan-seared ahi with honey srirachi glaze, sesame seeds, honey-lime slaw, wasabi mayo.) Highway to Hell (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.) And the Green-eyed Lady Cheese Fries ( Queso blanco, roasted poblano, sour cream). Staff was very nice and attentive. Food was fresh and tasty. I didn't care for the fries or the queso blanco which wasn't really blanco. The cheeses didn't mix well for me. It was a little pricy but still good.

Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time and our waitress was awesome! I had the Burning Love burger which as you can guess by the name is a scorcher when you're talking about spicy heat! If you aren't in to spicy hot peppers this definitely isn't the burger for you! The smoky undertones in this burger makes it great though. My wife had the Allman Brothers burger which is a mushroom & Swiss burger but what made it so good was the maple and brown sugar bacon. The Green Eyed Lady cheese fries were great too. We will most definitely be back and will tell all of our friends and family about this great place.

Tilly R.
This place is awesome! I can't wait to try it again. The atmosphere was laid back and played some great music. We ordered the frito pie app and it was great and HUGE! enough for 7 of us with some leftover. For my main meal I got the fish tacos and will never eat them from another place again. Totally amazing! Others got nachos, burgers and chicken. No complaints at all, server was also really good! Beer was cold! And prices are great! I was really impressed and will be trying to again very soon! Go!! If you are looking for a cool new place with new flavored, this is it, go!

Had the "secret menu" item house nachos with BBQ brisket as seen in another recent yelp review. OMG, outrageous!!!! Also tried the pulled pork tacos. The tacos were very good. The beans and rice were so-so. Homemade fries are great, as is the ranch dressing for dunking. Gotta deduct one star for service. Our waiter did a good job, but was spread too thin with covering too many tables. He even mentioned they were short on help for how popular the restaurant has become. So that's kind of a good thing in a way. Regardless, fully recommend, especially for the nachos!!!!

Great lunch and really cool atmosphere! The "smoke on the water" burger with buffalo patty was amazing! And the home made chip were just right! The waiter was friendly and offered suggestions...his suggestion to try the special honey mustard sauce with my sweet potato fries was perfect! A yummy addition I would have never thought to try! The owner was present and very friendly as well. They have live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights...we will definitely be back and look forward to hearing some local bands!

Great locally owned restaurant! The bartender is amazing with taste infusions to tickle your fancy! Vodka infusions are the best. We had The Dock of the Bay sandwich (without bread) the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese fries and The Jim Morrison bad dog brat. Finally Oklahoma is finding diversity in cuisine. Although I didn't try them, I was intrigued to find their burgers are diverse in protein sources-sirloin, turkey and buffalo. Have to go back soon because there are so many great items on the menu. See Steven at the bar for an excellent tour guide of the best tastes.

Plenty of room in this place. Good bar vibe and even better food. I ordered the Smoke on the Water (Burger with shredded pork) and it was great. My friend go the Freebird (Chicken Sandwich with pineapple and chipotle honey mustard) and thought it was amazing. The house chips are some of the best I've had, granted that's not many. The sweet potato fries weren't overcooked nor were they greasy. We went on a Friday night and heard some live music which wasn't bad. Overall, I would go back just to taste the other things on their extensive menu. Great experience!

This is my fourth visit so far. We ordered the Brisket Nachos (not on the menu), these are really good, homemade chips topped with a light cheese and sour cream sauce I think, grilled jalapeños and brisket on top of that. Then I had the Pancho Burrito with hatch green chili sauce this time, great flavor from the hatch chili.

Since moving to OKC, I have been to this establishment three times. The first time was fantastic!! It had just opened and it soon became my husbands favorite burger joint. However, the next two times we went have been a total disappointment. Once we got told they didn't have high chairs by a server, so my husband had to go hunt to make sure and found a stack near the bar. The last and final attempt we went, we waited a few minutes after being told to sit anywhere with no one coming to offer a kids menu or high chair. Again, luckily my husband knew where they were and went to get a high chair himself. Can't blame it on servers being too busy because this was 11:15 on a Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. We get the Elvis Fries every time and they are delicious!! The difficult part is paying $9 for a burger and it being dry. They ask you when ordering if you want it pink in the middle. I always say yes Medium temp. I am not sure if it is the percentage of the meat they use not rendering enough fat and being dry or plain overcooking. Needless to say with the decline in service and food quality we will no longer be eating here.

You wouldn't think this place would be amazing by its signage, but trust me, go inside! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a snack and a beer before we picked up my mom from the airport and we can't wait to go back for dinner! We got the green chili stew and it was amazing! It has brisket at the bottom. Whaaa?! And I had a "Willies Jolly Ranch Hand" it was watermelon infused vodka. Delish! Definitely go in and keep this local business going! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to go back!

New place on S Meridian that just opened. We eat lunch in this area every day, so I was excited about a new choice. This place is now on the regular list for sure. The food was excellent (fries are hand cut and amazing!), and the wait service was prompt, fun and friendly. The joint has has a bit of a sports bar theme with a classic rock and roll theme...sound like an odd mix but it works. Be sure and try the Yellow Submarine Burger!

We were passing through on our road trip and ate here. Brisket nachos are glorious! Also tried the burning love burger...soo good! On top of it all the owner sat down to chat with us. It's rare to get awesome food and great service like this. Atmosphere was also something to behold, I can only imagine the place when they get some live music! I don't write many reviews but I would stop here again if I were passing through.

Not being from the Oklahoma area, a friend of ours took us to Five Star Grille and what was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be a lengthy and enjoyable conversation with the owner and a new must stop spot in Oklahoma City. The food was fantastic and I would feel comfortable recommending this restaurant based on that alone, but the service we got from Trish and the visit from the actual owner himself really made this place stand out for us. Not only did Don (the owner) take the time to visit with my wife and I, but when we mentioned we were planning on taking our kids to Frontier City, he made a phone call to a friend and got us free passes for the entire family. And this was the first time we had ever met the guy!! Great food, great service, and a staff that makes you feel at home. I would highly recommend Five Star Grille and be sure to ask for the brisket nachos which are not on the menu yet, but should be.

Absolutely LOVED the CHEESE FRIES. My salad was just average, but my sister really enjoyed her burger. If I were in the area regularly, I'd definitely check this place out. The service was also very friendly and accommodating.

As stated in the old Almond Joy commercial, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." Also, sometimes you just feel like sinking your teeth into cheeseburger, and the need to fulfill that craving led us to Five Star. We were the first through the door that day and so had plenty of time to crack a few jokes with the waitress as she explained the menu and gave us a few suggestions. While making up our minds we a went with an order of the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese Fries. That pile of fries, cheese, sour cream, and green chilies was delicious and hit the spot. As for burgers, the wife and I went for the Burnin' Love and Smoke on the Water. I particularly liked the Love as a spicy option with just the right amount of heat to tingle but not kill the flavors. In the end, Five Star was a decent meal but fell short of its namesake review. The burgers were decent, however, I don't see myself spending my money to go back.

We were out to do some grocery shopping, but knew going shopping while hungry is not a good thing (not for weight limits of the pantry shelves, nor for the pocketbook). We pulled out the yelp ap and did a search for something easy and close by. Taking a look at the menu of the Five Star Grille and seeing all of the hot spicy dishes (have I mentioned that my husband likes to breath fire) and a few that I would like as well (not the spicy mamma... should be my nickname), we decided to give this place a try. It was very easy to find and access to the parking lot was convenient (thank you so much for not having to put our car on a diet to get into the place). It has a very simple look to the outside, but clean and unassuming. The signs near the door spoke of live music. We couldn't stay for that but plan to go back to listen at another time. I mean really, what is better than live music? Inside, the sounds of guitar and soft rock greeted us, recorded at this time of day but still enjoyable for the ears. Not elevator music and not so loud you want to find ear plugs either. The pictures around the room inside drew our eyes immediately, Johnnny Cash, ZZ top, just to name a few. Nice black and white images to accent the tastefully decorated interior. The dark tones of a bluish grey with dark browns were subtle and yet not boring. Normally, I would say gray is boring, but the way this place combined the tones and the pictures was relaxing. Now, let me tell you about the service. Cameron, you are awesome!! He greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere. Ok, typical kind of stuff for an inexpensive place to eat. But then he was right there to get our drink orders and spilled out the specials of the night from memory including the options. I was impressed, and he also made them sound very good. My husband and I had looked at the menu on the ap, as I said before, and had picked out what we wanted, however, Cameron's description of the BBQ Brisket Nachos (not on the menu we had seen) had us looking at each other and raising that eyebrow of silent question. "Can we get it?" Grin, both of us asking each other at the same time. That silent married couple language thing, I guess. With a smile and a nod, the silent conversation ended and yep, you guessed it, we ordered those nachos. My husband, spicy man, ordered the 'highway to hell' hotdog (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.). That one just made me dab my temples just reading the description. I went a safer route and got the Hotel California sandwich (Portobello mushroom, fresh avocado, red leaf lettuce, red onion, bleu cheese, chipotle mayo on a fresh-baked bun.). I do love my mushrooms and avocados. While we waited, we never even saw the bottom of the glass on our drinks. I did say Cameron was awesome! And even when he was busy with other tables, and there were quite a few that came in about the time we did, either he or another waiter checked regularly on our drinks. Now, so far, I have only described the atmosphere and the service. The food...oh my goodness the food. The BBQ Brisket nachos lived up to their description and then some. I would never have put these items together but wow. We did not order sides due to ordering the nachos and we were glad of it, as the plate was heaping full of goodness. Onions, brisket so tasty, cheese (not sure what kind but it was in sauce form), and home made chips and other things too but I can't remember what. Just remember that it tasted wonderful. We bit into the main course as well, though we were delightfully distracted by the nachos. My husband kept saying...."mmmm" so I am guessing it was good. Giggle. He did say it wasn't as spicy as he was expecting. I asked him if I would consider it hot, and he grinned and nodded. So, it was hot. Don't let him fool you by downplaying it. Mine had some kick to it as well. I normally don't like onions on my meal unless cooked, but on the hotel california, they were good. The heat stayed with me though. Thanks again, Cameron for keeping the drinks refilled. I needed it to cool down from my sandwich. Flavorful and delicious and even though it was spicy to me, I kept eating. Oh yeah, did I ever. There was a roll of paper towels on the table, thankfully, as between the nachos and the juicy main dishes, we needed them. Though I did my best to not waste a bit of the flavor by licking my fingertips. Yep, that good. Now, as to cost. I would have expected it to be much higher especially with the appetizer. But the price was just over $30 for the two of us. If we had not gotten the nachos (so glad we did....yeah can't say enough about those), it would have been under $20 for the two of us including drinks. I really think this place will be getting our repeat business, especially to go sit and listen to live music at some point. If you haven't tried it, it is worth a visit.

I really feel like this place should be called 3 Star Grille. I had read the reviews and heard from some people it was awesome and just didn't have the same experience. We ordered the green eyed lady cheese fries for an app, and this was probably the best decision all night! The green chilies were awesome and the fries and queso mix was a perfect combo. We got the One Way Out and the Reggae Mon as cocktails and they were just ok. They weren't very good mixed drinks and I didn't enjoy mine at all. I ended up having to add ice from my water to mine--it was so gross. We saw the bartender looking at the menu to see the ingredients so I'm not sure if she'd even ever made a drink before. I ordered the Willie with ground ribeye, and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak. We shared the Elvis chili fries as a side. I must start off my saying I'm a burger connoisseur, so I love a good burger, this one tasted like a salsbury steak they used to serve in the school cafeteria, and my friends Philly was fine, but nothing special. The Elvis fries lacked depth, the chili was bland and the cheese was flavorless. I hoping to try again, the green eyed lady fries were definitely worth the visit :)

I was on a clean eating challenge, so I opted for the Grilled Fish Tacos instead of a burger. I asked for the Sriracha mayo on the side and that wasn't a problem at all. I liked the flavor of the sauce but I didn't miss it in my tacos. The tacos still had plenty of flavor without. My husband got the burger (spicy one). The waitress warned him it could get pretty spicy and she wasn't wrong. Luckily he can handle spice pretty well so he enjoyed it. We got our food pretty quick even though it seemed to be busy. The owner even stopped by our table and talked to us. I wouldn't mind stopping by here again (and finally getting a burger for myself) when I'm in the area again.

In today's world of online reviews naming your restaurant Five Star Grille, regardless of the etymology, is a daunting proposition. Luckily this establishment lives up to it's name. I decided to stop here while I was in town on a business trip since it was new and got good reviews on here. The staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive but the star here was the food. I had a burger and it was exceptional, probably the best I've had in quite a long time. The location is also within walking distance of the better part of a dozen hotels. Additionally the owner, Don, stopped by to ask me about my meal. This level of involvement is usually a good sign for a restaurant. If you are in town I highly recommend stopping by.

Byron H.
It's a bit far for me but the reviews convinced me to try the place out. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I didn't experience anything worth 4 1/2 stars (save the service, which was very good). My wife and I split their smoke on the water burger (pulled pork and bbq sauce on top of a rib eye ground beef patty), and it was "fine". My wife felt it tasted like a hot dog, and honestly I could barely taste the burger beneath the pork and sauce. It was just sort of filler, which is not what you want in a patty. The fries (not included with a meal) were good, but that's not really worth writing home about. The decor is nice enough and it has a full bar if you're into that. Still, not a place I'd feel the need to visit again or recommend, at least for their burgers.

Pretty decent for a decent price! Good atmosphere for a local American-style food joint, I had the Yellow Submarine burger which was awesome, fries were a little overcooked and salty to be honest but other than that the service and food was great!

With a smile and a nod, the silent conversation ended and yep, you guessed it, we ordered those nachos. My husband, spicy man, ordered the 'highway to hell' hotdog (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.). That one just made me dab my temples just reading the description. I went a safer route and got the Hotel California sandwich (Portobello mushroom, fresh avocado, red leaf lettuce, red onion, bleu cheese, chipotle mayo on a fresh-baked bun.). I do love my mushrooms and avocados. While we waited, we never even saw the bottom of the glass on our drinks. I did say Cameron was awesome! And even when he was busy with other tables, and there were quite a few that came in about the time we did, either he or another waiter checked regularly on our drinks. Now, so far, I have only described the atmosphere and the service. The food...oh my goodness the food. The BBQ Brisket nachos lived up to their description and then some. I would never have put these items together but wow. We did not order sides due to ordering the nachos and we were glad of it, as the plate was heaping full of goodness. Onions, brisket so tasty, cheese (not sure what kind but it was in sauce form), and home made chips and other things too but I can't remember what. Just remember that it tasted wonderful. We bit into the main course as well, though we were delightfully distracted by the nachos. My husband kept saying...."mmmm" so I am guessing it was good. Giggle. He did say it wasn't as spicy as he was expecting. I asked him if I would consider it hot, and he grinned and nodded. So, it was hot. Don't let him fool you by downplaying it. Mine had some kick to it as well. I normally don't like onions on my meal unless cooked, but on the hotel california, they were good. The heat stayed with me though. Thanks again, Cameron for keeping the drinks refilled. I needed it to cool down from my sandwich. Flavorful and delicious and even though it was spicy to me, I kept eating. Oh yeah, did I ever. There was a roll of paper towels on the table, thankfully, as between the nachos and the juicy main dishes, we needed them. Though I did my best to not waste a bit of the flavor by licking my fingertips. Yep, that good. Now, as to cost. I would have expected it to be much higher especially with the appetizer. But the price was just over $30 for the two of us. If we had not gotten the nachos (so glad we did....yeah can't say enough about those), it would have been under $20 for the two of us including drinks. I really think this place will be getting our repeat business, especially to go sit and listen to live music at some point. If you haven't tried it, it is worth a visit.

Not being from the Oklahoma area, a friend of ours took us to Five Star Grille and what was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be a lengthy and enjoyable conversation with the owner and a new must stop spot in Oklahoma City. The food was fantastic and I would feel comfortable recommending this restaurant based on that alone, but the service we got from Trish and the visit from the actual owner himself really made this place stand out for us. Not only did Don (the owner) take the time to visit with my wife and I, but when we mentioned we were planning on taking our kids to Frontier City, he made a phone call to a friend and got us free passes for the entire family. And this was the first time we had ever met the guy!! Great food, great service, and a staff that makes you feel at home. I would highly recommend Five Star Grille and be sure to ask for the brisket nachos which are not on the menu yet, but should be.

Absolutely LOVED the CHEESE FRIES. My salad was just average, but my sister really enjoyed her burger. If I were in the area regularly, I'd definitely check this place out. The service was also very friendly and accommodating.

As stated in the old Almond Joy commercial, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." Also, sometimes you just feel like sinking your teeth into cheeseburger, and the need to fulfill that craving led us to Five Star. We were the first through the door that day and so had plenty of time to crack a few jokes with the waitress as she explained the menu and gave us a few suggestions. While making up our minds we a went with an order of the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese Fries. That pile of fries, cheese, sour cream, and green chilies was delicious and hit the spot. As for burgers, the wife and I went for the Burnin' Love and Smoke on the Water. I particularly liked the Love as a spicy option with just the right amount of heat to tingle but not kill the flavors. In the end, Five Star was a decent meal but fell short of its namesake review. The burgers were decent, however, I don't see myself spending my money to go back.

Pretty decent for a decent price! Good atmosphere for a local American-style food joint, I had the Yellow Submarine burger which was awesome, fries were a little overcooked and salty to be honest but other than that the service and food was great!

The name says it all! Amazing food, great environment, cool music theme, everything about this place is worth the five stars both on the review and on the name. The service was amazing, i don't remember the last time i went to a place and didn't have to ask to get my drink refilled. Our server was attentive, nice, and helped us pick out some great items from the menu. We started our meal with some Brisket Queso Nachos with white queso made in house. Instead of using your regular tostadas these came with their house kettle chips which were just magnificent. I ordered the pulled pork burger and it looked and tasted amazing, the burger was a ground ribeye patty topped with pulled pork and some cole slaw. The last time i had a similar concoction was at Thee Pitts again in AZ. The burger was perfectly done (medium for me) and the pulled pork was as juicy and easy to chew as i have ever had. I wish i could have stayed in OK just a few more days so that i could have had the pleasure of trying some other of their entrees but this is one place i would take the 10 hour drive all over again just to come and eat here. Kudos on such an amazing place!

Had a great, filling fatty meal here last night with some folks from my training class. They had MASSIVE mugs of Shock Top for $3.75 so I was competely won over early. We started with their "special" of cheesy, brisket nachos. The chips weren't the typical nachos, and at first I wasn't a fan, but they grew on me as we inhaled this scrumptious dish. The queso blanco cheese was fantastic, and the great number of peppers gave the whole dish a spicy bite. The brisket was cooked all day apparently -- and although not as tender as I had expected with that description, it was deliciously flavorful! We also got the green lady cheese fries as recommended by many other yelpers. They were also delicious, but together with the nachos a little over the top as they also had lots of cheese and salsa verde on top. They were also a little salty for me... and as the QUEEN of salt, that's saying something! For my burger, I chose the Classic (to equalize the intense amount of cheese and brisket in other parts of my meal). After cutting into it, I realized they had never asked us how we wanted the patty cooked. Mine was much more rare than I usually prefer it, but it was juicy and thick. The veggies - lettuce, red onion, and tomato - were all extremely fresh and perfect! Coupled with the two appetizers, I only ended up eating half of the cheeseburger though. All and all, a REALLY cheap option for a delicious meal. But, make sure you expect to take some tums afterwards because it's heavy.

Holy crap. Best fish taco I've ever had. Who's idea was it to put feta cheese on a fish taco? I wish everyone did that. The siracha mayo is out of this world. The staff is so nice. I'm sitting at the bar. The bartender definitely loves her job. Cool as hell. Very rockabilly. This place is a little out of its element and that's what makes it stand out in the commercial restaurant capital of the world. Blues bar atmosphere. This place reminds me of Atlanta or Chicago. Go here to eat. You won't regret it

I don't normally go with a five star the first time I have eaten at a place but this place is great. I would truly give it 4.5 stars if i could because I don't silly names for dishes--but other than that--it was really superb. Hamburger was cooked greatly--which is always a nice surprise--i don't see that often. And it's nice to have a good place to eat on Merdian--because it's a real dead zone done there. Go enjoy.

This place is awesome! I can't wait to try it again. The atmosphere was laid back and played some great music. We ordered the frito pie app and it was great and HUGE! enough for 7 of us with some leftover. For my main meal I got the fish tacos and will never eat them from another place again. Totally amazing! Others got nachos, burgers and chicken. No complaints at all, server was also really good! Beer was cold! And prices are great! I was really impressed and will be trying to again very soon! Go!! If you are looking for a cool new place with new flavored, this is it, go!

Had the "secret menu" item house nachos with BBQ brisket as seen in another recent yelp review. OMG, outrageous!!!! Also tried the pulled pork tacos. The tacos were very good. The beans and rice were so-so. Homemade fries are great, as is the ranch dressing for dunking. Gotta deduct one star for service. Our waiter did a good job, but was spread too thin with covering too many tables. He even mentioned they were short on help for how popular the restaurant has become. So that's kind of a good thing in a way. Regardless, fully recommend, especially for the nachos!!!!

I ordered the chicken philly with house made potato chips. Being from the Philly area, I decided to check it out. The sandwich was AMAZING! No ketchup needed because the marinated chicken, hot pepper relish, and onions & peppers said it all! I had the chipotle ranch sauce for my chips, but decided to put a little on the sandwich...WOW!!! I would have given it 5 stars, but the sandwiches don't come with sides and are priced separately. When you include a side with the sandwich, then ill give 5 stars...sorry.

Came ALL the way from St. Louis, MO because we heard about this place. Let me tell you what we heard was CORRECT! My son got the Willie and his words were: Oh My God, this is AMAZING! THE FRIES ARE DELICIOUS TOO! If ur here, make this place a stop!

Seth S.
This place is great. If you love great low priced food (who doesnt) and music, you will love this place. The sandwiches are great and the brisket nachos were amazing. The staff is very pleasant with a laid back way of running a bar and a kitchen. From the outside the place doesnt look like much but you will be pleasantly suprised when you enter and see a modern laid back atmosphere with big screen tvs a full bar including good wine and a small stage setup where they have live music on saturdays and sundays. I guess this place just opened in december but i could see these all around the states especially in cities crazy about music. Wish they had one in st louis.

Great place! The staff are engaging and knowledgeable. Menu and food are fantastic, fresh & interesting. The hatch green chili stew is delicious. I've had/tried about 10 items off the menu and this place is a must try, and worth the drive across town!

We had high expectations, based on reviews, and our experience verified a 5-star rating for good, interesting, food, and surroundings. It made me wish we were not just passing through Oklahoma City, and could return for a live music night (and sample more of the menu). If we get the chance, we will come here again. There is an entrepreneurial intelligence apparent in all aspects of this restaurant, and I confess this took me by surprise (my bias). It is geared toward a sophisticated crowd. There is a choice of self-order or wait staff. Our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Sinatra. Check out posted photos of the menu to get a feel for the interesting food.

Amazing burgers !!! Must come in...great service and excellent food ..from mild to hot burgers ..and the names they come up with are so awesome. . My favorite was the burnin love burger ...the owner came out and asked how it was ..and I said it's a great burger ..and I love how hot it is ..he went to the back and got me a tuperware dish with 7 Hot peppers in it to take home ... and he brought out some extra hot sauce he made and it was beyond hot and I love hot food... thanks again and I'll be going back again !!

Great lunch and really cool atmosphere! The "smoke on the water" burger with buffalo patty was amazing! And the home made chip were just right! The waiter was friendly and offered suggestions...his suggestion to try the special honey mustard sauce with my sweet potato fries was perfect! A yummy addition I would have never thought to try! The owner was present and very friendly as well. They have live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights...we will definitely be back and look forward to hearing some local bands!

Ruby G.
Great locally owned restaurant! The bartender is amazing with taste infusions to tickle your fancy! Vodka infusions are the best. We had The Dock of the Bay sandwich (without bread) the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese fries and The Jim Morrison bad dog brat. Finally Oklahoma is finding diversity in cuisine. Although I didn't try them, I was intrigued to find their burgers are diverse in protein sources-sirloin, turkey and buffalo. Have to go back soon because there are so many great items on the menu. See Steven at the bar for an excellent tour guide of the best tastes.

Plenty of room in this place. Good bar vibe and even better food. I ordered the Smoke on the Water (Burger with shredded pork) and it was great. My friend go the Freebird (Chicken Sandwich with pineapple and chipotle honey mustard) and thought it was amazing. The house chips are some of the best I've had, granted that's not many. The sweet potato fries weren't overcooked nor were they greasy. We went on a Friday night and heard some live music which wasn't bad. Overall, I would go back just to taste the other things on their extensive menu. Great experience!

We were in OKC for a convention, and decided to leave the fairgrounds for some *real* food. The other five star reviews here led us to the Five Star Grille, and OHMYSTARS they were right. His burger (the Allman Brothers) was juicy and flavorful. My grilled fish tacos were tangy and spicy. The beer was cold. The service was perfect: fast and hospitable and friendly, but very relaxed. The restaurant's ambience is very relaxing, as well, with muted blues and woods, and classic Blues playing on the speakers. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon stop. We liked it so well that we went back at the end of the night for a nightcap and appetizer, heedless of the actual hour. They served us anyway, once again with the same great attention and DELICIOUS FOOD. Bottom line: go there immediately and eat there often. Or ship them to St. Louis so I can.

The remodel of this ex-Cajun Resturant was well received last night by my boyfriend and myself. Until during dinner we attempted to go wifi and it was locked. The wine menu had an logon that wasn't working for my iPhone 6....hence; not going online for our movie review wasn't great. The food I had was delicious (the bird) chicken with pineapple grilled to perfection with sweet potato frys! My boyfriend ordered the buffalo burger & homemade chips. He wasn't impressed with the seasoning (he loves buffalo burgers)...he thought the seasoning had too much garlic in it; he complimented the chips! Service was exceptionally fast, (my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off the waitress tight pants:(. We spoke to the owner, Don Elliot. I praised him for the photos of musicians. He shared his connection to Allman Brothers band & history of other restaurants he has in our great city. He was a perfect host and asked us to share our experience on Yelp & FB; Twitter ... I have had this app for 2 months I have used it for resturant choices, however, never to place a review. This is my virgin review..hope you find it useful enough to go to this resturant to experience it yourself and let me know what you think of it. We would have returned to the Five star if it had stayed open (closed already:(

Stopped in before checking in to my hotel. Nice little burger joint! I ordered the "Burning Love" burger, medium rare, beef, home made bun, with no condiments. I don't have a thermometer to check, but it looked more rare then medium rare (I don't really care because I like it moo'ing). I would have ordered rare, but most places refuse so I got used to ordering medium rare. The burger is hot, messing, and delicious. I love spice. Hotter the better. I would consider this a mild, but I know most people would consider it HOT! I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and enjoyed my conversations with the Bar Tender. Over all I would wait the staff as being kind and engaging. I will be back the next time I am in the area!

The nachos with the brisket and jalapenos were really good. However, the fish tacos were ehhh. The service was okay. I will probably be back if my co-workers invite me here again, but I doubt that I would pick to come here by myself.

Had the Dock of the Bay ( Fresh-baked bun, pan-seared ahi with honey srirachi glaze, sesame seeds, honey-lime slaw, wasabi mayo.) Highway to Hell (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.) And the Green-eyed Lady Cheese Fries ( Queso blanco, roasted poblano, sour cream). Staff was very nice and attentive. Food was fresh and tasty. I didn't care for the fries or the queso blanco which wasn't really blanco. The cheeses didn't mix well for me. It was a little pricy but still good.

Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time and our waitress was awesome! I had the Burning Love burger which as you can guess by the name is a scorcher when you're talking about spicy heat! If you aren't in to spicy hot peppers this definitely isn't the burger for you! The smoky undertones in this burger makes it great though. My wife had the Allman Brothers burger which is a mushroom & Swiss burger but what made it so good was the maple and brown sugar bacon. The Green Eyed Lady cheese fries were great too. We will most definitely be back and will tell all of our friends and family about this great place.

Came here with some friends on a Sunday afternoon. They had been before and raved about the burgers. They were right! I had the Smoke On The Water with pulled pork and a buffalo patty. Awesome! We tried the Pulled Pork Nachos (forget the menu name) and the green chile cheese fries which were great also. I had the sweet potato fries and they were crisp and not greasy at all. Being from out of town it was nice to try some local beers on tap so of course I had to try DNR. The guy who runs the place (Don) was nice enough to come by and chat for a bit. Would definitely come back!

We tried it out on a whim and were not disappointed. The special was brisket nachos and there was more than enough to share between my wife and I. I also had a Born in the USA dog and it was delicious! The waiter was excellent and knowledgable of the menu. The atmosphere was really fun and I dug the live music on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back!

As stated in another review, Don Elliot came to the table and introduced himself. I understand that not every owner will be able to do this at every restaurant, but it really does make an impact on me when the owner takes the time to listen to their customers. Thank you for that, Don. I will happily support your business. I passed out your menu at my place of business to all the foodies in the office and put in the good word. As far as the food. The fries are hand cut and are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Allman Brothers burger, because you can never go wrong with The Allman Brothers! Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and swiss. yes.. it was as good as it sounds! I am really excited to try the other menu items. Excellent quality of all ingredients used on the burger but... special mention needs to be made to the bacon... great choice on whichever bacon you use guys! I am looking forward to returning!

Overall - Probably won't make the drive again, but if you live/work in the area, it's worth checking out. Food - Great burger, however slightly overcooked. Drinks - Beer selection was terrible. Drink selection was amateur. The only thing they have going is a fantastic bloody mary mix and Moscow mules with real ginger beer (Crabbie's). Atmosphere - Fine (for the price point). Service - Excellent! Really the shining star of this place besides the food. Their afternoon shift change was a little rough, but everyone was very personable and friendly.

Wow! This place needs to come to San Jose California! The drinks were refreshing and well made. The starters were already a meal with Fritos chili pie and green eyed lady cheese fries! Wow I wanted more and my chops were teased! I was able to try ....The willie and it had just enough chili and cheese and the pattie was moist and very flavorful. The Smoke on the water with slaw on the side was juicy with pulled pork and side of chips! Oh my dip those in honey mustard!!!! Then the Dock of the Bay had just enough spice and kick! Great philly!!! Also..... DONT JUDGE ME!!!! The highway to hell corn dog was a fat hot spicy 1/4 beef with jalapeños battered!!! I was quite the porker!! I LOVED THE WAITRESS!!! I believe her name was Nichelle. Too adorable

This is my fourth visit so far. We ordered the Brisket Nachos (not on the menu), these are really good, homemade chips topped with a light cheese and sour cream sauce I think, grilled jalapeños and brisket on top of that. Then I had the Pancho Burrito with hatch green chili sauce this time, great flavor from the hatch chili.

We were passing through on our road trip and ate here. Brisket nachos are glorious! Also tried the burning love burger...soo good! On top of it all the owner sat down to chat with us. It's rare to get awesome food and great service like this. Atmosphere was also something to behold, I can only imagine the place when they get some live music! I don't write many reviews but I would stop here again if I were passing through.

Since moving to OKC, I have been to this establishment three times. The first time was fantastic!! It had just opened and it soon became my husbands favorite burger joint. However, the next two times we went have been a total disappointment. Once we got told they didn't have high chairs by a server, so my husband had to go hunt to make sure and found a stack near the bar. The last and final attempt we went, we waited a few minutes after being told to sit anywhere with no one coming to offer a kids menu or high chair. Again, luckily my husband knew where they were and went to get a high chair himself. Can't blame it on servers being too busy because this was 11:15 on a Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. We get the Elvis Fries every time and they are delicious!! The difficult part is paying $9 for a burger and it being dry. They ask you when ordering if you want it pink in the middle. I always say yes Medium temp. I am not sure if it is the percentage of the meat they use not rendering enough fat and being dry or plain overcooking. Needless to say with the decline in service and food quality we will no longer be eating here.

You wouldn't think this place would be amazing by its signage, but trust me, go inside! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a snack and a beer before we picked up my mom from the airport and we can't wait to go back for dinner! We got the green chili stew and it was amazing! It has brisket at the bottom. Whaaa?! And I had a "Willies Jolly Ranch Hand" it was watermelon infused vodka. Delish! Definitely go in and keep this local business going! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to go back!

New place on S Meridian that just opened. We eat lunch in this area every day, so I was excited about a new choice. This place is now on the regular list for sure. The food was excellent (fries are hand cut and amazing!), and the wait service was prompt, fun and friendly. The joint has has a bit of a sports bar theme with a classic rock and roll theme...sound like an odd mix but it works. Be sure and try the Yellow Submarine Burger!

Joining the conversation with five stars for Five Star Grille! How happy are we to have a new locally owned restaurant down here by the airport? First we got Medio Tiempo, which I love, and now this! Kasey and I stopped here when I got home last Friday, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The grilled chicken sandwich was great, and so was the mushroom and swiss burger (of which I got to try a bite). The fries were also very good - we tried both the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. Our service was great, and the GM came over to talk to us, which I thought was a nice touch. The music was also awesome, which makes sense since the owners are clearly very into music as you can see from the posters on the walls and the menu item names. Also - props for having F5 and DNR on tap. Maybe they would make me an FDR? I also saw they carry The Show wines, not something you see on many menus around here, even though they're great wines at an excellent price point. I'm sold and will be back, next time airport pickups bring me out this way!

I live in Edmond and to be honest this place was not worth the drive. The food was not bad by any means it was actually very good. We ordered the barbecue nachos and for myself I ordered the hotel California (mushroom burger) and it tasted wonderful. But it was nothing special or anything to memorable I feel like I could go somewhere closer and get the same thing. The truest issue was the bugs! I don't know if it's because the door kept opening and shutting but we had flies and gnats galore at our table. Seriously off putting.

This place was absolutely amazing. Service was out of this world, but the food was out of this universe! Green eyed lady cheese fries were off the hook. Golden fried hand cut fries that clearly never frozen covered with a green hatch chili and fresh made queso. The chicken Philli was also out if this world too, but look forward to trying one of their burgers.

Not being from the Oklahoma area, a friend of ours took us to Five Star Grille and what was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be a lengthy and enjoyable conversation with the owner and a new must stop spot in Oklahoma City. The food was fantastic and I would feel comfortable recommending this restaurant based on that alone, but the service we got from Trish and the visit from the actual owner himself really made this place stand out for us. Not only did Don (the owner) take the time to visit with my wife and I, but when we mentioned we were planning on taking our kids to Frontier City, he made a phone call to a friend and got us free passes for the entire family. And this was the first time we had ever met the guy!! Great food, great service, and a staff that makes you feel at home. I would highly recommend Five Star Grille and be sure to ask for the brisket nachos which are not on the menu yet, but should be.

Absolutely LOVED the CHEESE FRIES. My salad was just average, but my sister really enjoyed her burger. If I were in the area regularly, I'd definitely check this place out. The service was also very friendly and accommodating.

As stated in the old Almond Joy commercial, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." Also, sometimes you just feel like sinking your teeth into cheeseburger, and the need to fulfill that craving led us to Five Star. We were the first through the door that day and so had plenty of time to crack a few jokes with the waitress as she explained the menu and gave us a few suggestions. While making up our minds we a went with an order of the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese Fries. That pile of fries, cheese, sour cream, and green chilies was delicious and hit the spot. As for burgers, the wife and I went for the Burnin' Love and Smoke on the Water. I particularly liked the Love as a spicy option with just the right amount of heat to tingle but not kill the flavors. In the end, Five Star was a decent meal but fell short of its namesake review. The burgers were decent, however, I don't see myself spending my money to go back.

We were out to do some grocery shopping, but knew going shopping while hungry is not a good thing (not for weight limits of the pantry shelves, nor for the pocketbook). We pulled out the yelp ap and did a search for something easy and close by. Taking a look at the menu of the Five Star Grille and seeing all of the hot spicy dishes (have I mentioned that my husband likes to breath fire) and a few that I would like as well (not the spicy mamma... should be my nickname), we decided to give this place a try. It was very easy to find and access to the parking lot was convenient (thank you so much for not having to put our car on a diet to get into the place). It has a very simple look to the outside, but clean and unassuming. The signs near the door spoke of live music. We couldn't stay for that but plan to go back to listen at another time. I mean really, what is better than live music? Inside, the sounds of guitar and soft rock greeted us, recorded at this time of day but still enjoyable for the ears. Not elevator music and not so loud you want to find ear plugs either. The pictures around the room inside drew our eyes immediately, Johnnny Cash, ZZ top, just to name a few. Nice black and white images to accent the tastefully decorated interior. The dark tones of a bluish grey with dark browns were subtle and yet not boring. Normally, I would say gray is boring, but the way this place combined the tones and the pictures was relaxing. Now, let me tell you about the service. Cameron, you are awesome!! He greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere. Ok, typical kind of stuff for an inexpensive place to eat. But then he was right there to get our drink orders and spilled out the specials of the night from memory including the options. I was impressed, and he also made them sound very good. My husband and I had looked at the menu on the ap, as I said before, and had picked out what we wanted, however, Cameron's description of the BBQ Brisket Nachos (not on the menu we had seen) had us looking at each other and raising that eyebrow of silent question. "Can we get it?" Grin, both of us asking each other at the same time. That silent married couple language thing, I guess. With a smile and a nod, the silent conversation ended and yep, you guessed it, we ordered those nachos. My husband, spicy man, ordered the 'highway to hell' hotdog (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.). That one just made me dab my temples just reading the description. I went a safer route and got the Hotel California sandwich (Portobello mushroom, fresh avocado, red leaf lettuce, red onion, bleu cheese, chipotle mayo on a fresh-baked bun.). I do love my mushrooms and avocados. While we waited, we never even saw the bottom of the glass on our drinks. I did say Cameron was awesome! And even when he was busy with other tables, and there were quite a few that came in about the time we did, either he or another waiter checked regularly on our drinks. Now, so far, I have only described the atmosphere and the service. The food...oh my goodness the food. The BBQ Brisket nachos lived up to their description and then some. I would never have put these items together but wow. We did not order sides due to ordering the nachos and we were glad of it, as the plate was heaping full of goodness. Onions, brisket so tasty, cheese (not sure what kind but it was in sauce form), and home made chips and other things too but I can't remember what. Just remember that it tasted wonderful. We bit into the main course as well, though we were delightfully distracted by the nachos. My husband kept saying...."mmmm" so I am guessing it was good. Giggle. He did say it wasn't as spicy as he was expecting. I asked him if I would consider it hot, and he grinned and nodded. So, it was hot. Don't let him fool you by downplaying it. Mine had some kick to it as well. I normally don't like onions on my meal unless cooked, but on the hotel california, they were good. The heat stayed with me though. Thanks again, Cameron for keeping the drinks refilled. I needed it to cool down from my sandwich. Flavorful and delicious and even though it was spicy to me, I kept eating. Oh yeah, did I ever. There was a roll of paper towels on the table, thankfully, as between the nachos and the juicy main dishes, we needed them. Though I did my best to not waste a bit of the flavor by licking my fingertips. Yep, that good. Now, as to cost. I would have expected it to be much higher especially with the appetizer. But the price was just over $30 for the two of us. If we had not gotten the nachos (so glad we did....yeah can't say enough about those), it would have been under $20 for the two of us including drinks. I really think this place will be getting our repeat business, especially to go sit and listen to live music at some point. If you haven't tried it, it is worth a visit.

Had a great, filling fatty meal here last night with some folks from my training class. They had MASSIVE mugs of Shock Top for $3.75 so I was competely won over early. We started with their "special" of cheesy, brisket nachos. The chips weren't the typical nachos, and at first I wasn't a fan, but they grew on me as we inhaled this scrumptious dish. The queso blanco cheese was fantastic, and the great number of peppers gave the whole dish a spicy bite. The brisket was cooked all day apparently -- and although not as tender as I had expected with that description, it was deliciously flavorful! We also got the green lady cheese fries as recommended by many other yelpers. They were also delicious, but together with the nachos a little over the top as they also had lots of cheese and salsa verde on top. They were also a little salty for me... and as the QUEEN of salt, that's saying something! For my burger, I chose the Classic (to equalize the intense amount of cheese and brisket in other parts of my meal). After cutting into it, I realized they had never asked us how we wanted the patty cooked. Mine was much more rare than I usually prefer it, but it was juicy and thick. The veggies - lettuce, red onion, and tomato - were all extremely fresh and perfect! Coupled with the two appetizers, I only ended up eating half of the cheeseburger though. All and all, a REALLY cheap option for a delicious meal. But, make sure you expect to take some tums afterwards because it's heavy.

I really feel like this place should be called 3 Star Grille. I had read the reviews and heard from some people it was awesome and just didn't have the same experience. We ordered the green eyed lady cheese fries for an app, and this was probably the best decision all night! The green chilies were awesome and the fries and queso mix was a perfect combo. We got the One Way Out and the Reggae Mon as cocktails and they were just ok. They weren't very good mixed drinks and I didn't enjoy mine at all. I ended up having to add ice from my water to mine--it was so gross. We saw the bartender looking at the menu to see the ingredients so I'm not sure if she'd even ever made a drink before. I ordered the Willie with ground ribeye, and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak. We shared the Elvis chili fries as a side. I must start off my saying I'm a burger connoisseur, so I love a good burger, this one tasted like a salsbury steak they used to serve in the school cafeteria, and my friends Philly was fine, but nothing special. The Elvis fries lacked depth, the chili was bland and the cheese was flavorless. I hoping to try again, the green eyed lady fries were definitely worth the visit :)

I was on a clean eating challenge, so I opted for the Grilled Fish Tacos instead of a burger. I asked for the Sriracha mayo on the side and that wasn't a problem at all. I liked the flavor of the sauce but I didn't miss it in my tacos. The tacos still had plenty of flavor without. My husband got the burger (spicy one). The waitress warned him it could get pretty spicy and she wasn't wrong. Luckily he can handle spice pretty well so he enjoyed it. We got our food pretty quick even though it seemed to be busy. The owner even stopped by our table and talked to us. I wouldn't mind stopping by here again (and finally getting a burger for myself) when I'm in the area again.

In today's world of online reviews naming your restaurant Five Star Grille, regardless of the etymology, is a daunting proposition. Luckily this establishment lives up to it's name. I decided to stop here while I was in town on a business trip since it was new and got good reviews on here. The staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive but the star here was the food. I had a burger and it was exceptional, probably the best I've had in quite a long time. The location is also within walking distance of the better part of a dozen hotels. Additionally the owner, Don, stopped by to ask me about my meal. This level of involvement is usually a good sign for a restaurant. If you are in town I highly recommend stopping by.

Byron H.
It's a bit far for me but the reviews convinced me to try the place out. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I didn't experience anything worth 4 1/2 stars (save the service, which was very good). My wife and I split their smoke on the water burger (pulled pork and bbq sauce on top of a rib eye ground beef patty), and it was "fine". My wife felt it tasted like a hot dog, and honestly I could barely taste the burger beneath the pork and sauce. It was just sort of filler, which is not what you want in a patty. The fries (not included with a meal) were good, but that's not really worth writing home about. The decor is nice enough and it has a full bar if you're into that. Still, not a place I'd feel the need to visit again or recommend, at least for their burgers.

Pretty decent for a decent price! Good atmosphere for a local American-style food joint, I had the Yellow Submarine burger which was awesome, fries were a little overcooked and salty to be honest but other than that the service and food was great!

The name says it all! Amazing food, great environment, cool music theme, everything about this place is worth the five stars both on the review and on the name. The service was amazing, i don't remember the last time i went to a place and didn't have to ask to get my drink refilled. Our server was attentive, nice, and helped us pick out some great items from the menu. We started our meal with some Brisket Queso Nachos with white queso made in house. Instead of using your regular tostadas these came with their house kettle chips which were just magnificent. I ordered the pulled pork burger and it looked and tasted amazing, the burger was a ground ribeye patty topped with pulled pork and some cole slaw. The last time i had a similar concoction was at Thee Pitts again in AZ. The burger was perfectly done (medium for me) and the pulled pork was as juicy and easy to chew as i have ever had. I wish i could have stayed in OK just a few more days so that i could have had the pleasure of trying some other of their entrees but this is one place i would take the 10 hour drive all over again just to come and eat here. Kudos on such an amazing place!

Holy crap. Best fish taco I've ever had. Who's idea was it to put feta cheese on a fish taco? I wish everyone did that. The siracha mayo is out of this world. The staff is so nice. I'm sitting at the bar. The bartender definitely loves her job. Cool as hell. Very rockabilly. This place is a little out of its element and that's what makes it stand out in the commercial restaurant capital of the world. Blues bar atmosphere. This place reminds me of Atlanta or Chicago. Go here to eat. You won't regret it

I don't normally go with a five star the first time I have eaten at a place but this place is great. I would truly give it 4.5 stars if i could because I don't silly names for dishes--but other than that--it was really superb. Hamburger was cooked greatly--which is always a nice surprise--i don't see that often. And it's nice to have a good place to eat on Merdian--because it's a real dead zone done there. Go enjoy.

As stated in another review, Don Elliot came to the table and introduced himself. I understand that not every owner will be able to do this at every restaurant, but it really does make an impact on me when the owner takes the time to listen to their customers. Thank you for that, Don. I will happily support your business. I passed out your menu at my place of business to all the foodies in the office and put in the good word. As far as the food. The fries are hand cut and are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Allman Brothers burger, because you can never go wrong with The Allman Brothers! Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and swiss. yes.. it was as good as it sounds! I am really excited to try the other menu items. Excellent quality of all ingredients used on the burger but... special mention needs to be made to the bacon... great choice on whichever bacon you use guys! I am looking forward to returning!
(5)Theresa J.
Overall - Probably won't make the drive again, but if you live/work in the area, it's worth checking out. Food - Great burger, however slightly overcooked. Drinks - Beer selection was terrible. Drink selection was amateur. The only thing they have going is a fantastic bloody mary mix and Moscow mules with real ginger beer (Crabbie's). Atmosphere - Fine (for the price point). Service - Excellent! Really the shining star of this place besides the food. Their afternoon shift change was a little rough, but everyone was very personable and friendly.

Service was excellent! Food was average. Would not drive out of my way. Burger tasted frozen- hot dog was ok. Burrito was too spicy. I got the sweet potato fries - not included with the meal and they were the best part.
(3)Michelle A.
Wow! This place needs to come to San Jose California! The drinks were refreshing and well made. The starters were already a meal with Fritos chili pie and green eyed lady cheese fries! Wow I wanted more and my chops were teased! I was able to try ....The willie and it had just enough chili and cheese and the pattie was moist and very flavorful. The Smoke on the water with slaw on the side was juicy with pulled pork and side of chips! Oh my dip those in honey mustard!!!! Then the Dock of the Bay had just enough spice and kick! Great philly!!! Also..... DONT JUDGE ME!!!! The highway to hell corn dog was a fat hot spicy 1/4 beef with jalapeños battered!!! I was quite the porker!! I LOVED THE WAITRESS!!! I believe her name was Nichelle. Too adorable

We were in OKC for a convention, and decided to leave the fairgrounds for some *real* food. The other five star reviews here led us to the Five Star Grille, and OHMYSTARS they were right. His burger (the Allman Brothers) was juicy and flavorful. My grilled fish tacos were tangy and spicy. The beer was cold. The service was perfect: fast and hospitable and friendly, but very relaxed. The restaurant's ambience is very relaxing, as well, with muted blues and woods, and classic Blues playing on the speakers. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon stop. We liked it so well that we went back at the end of the night for a nightcap and appetizer, heedless of the actual hour. They served us anyway, once again with the same great attention and DELICIOUS FOOD. Bottom line: go there immediately and eat there often. Or ship them to St. Louis so I can.
(5)Sarabeth S.
Oh Yum!! This place is fun. We ordered the BBQ nachos and a burger. Everything was really good and lots of food. We also ordered some cocktails. Their cocktail menu is fun and different. Overall a very good experience.

The remodel of this ex-Cajun Resturant was well received last night by my boyfriend and myself. Until during dinner we attempted to go wifi and it was locked. The wine menu had an logon that wasn't working for my iPhone 6....hence; not going online for our movie review wasn't great. The food I had was delicious (the bird) chicken with pineapple grilled to perfection with sweet potato frys! My boyfriend ordered the buffalo burger & homemade chips. He wasn't impressed with the seasoning (he loves buffalo burgers)...he thought the seasoning had too much garlic in it; he complimented the chips! Service was exceptionally fast, (my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off the waitress tight pants:(. We spoke to the owner, Don Elliot. I praised him for the photos of musicians. He shared his connection to Allman Brothers band & history of other restaurants he has in our great city. He was a perfect host and asked us to share our experience on Yelp & FB; Twitter ... I have had this app for 2 months I have used it for resturant choices, however, never to place a review. This is my virgin review..hope you find it useful enough to go to this resturant to experience it yourself and let me know what you think of it. We would have returned to the Five star if it had stayed open (closed already:(

Great food and great service. What more would you want? Had the Jim Morrison and the Melissa.

Courtney was our waitress, very courteous and sweet and very attentive! First time for our family of 7 and very good food and atmosphere. Def recommend.
(5)Felicia H.
I ordered the chicken philly with house made potato chips. Being from the Philly area, I decided to check it out. The sandwich was AMAZING! No ketchup needed because the marinated chicken, hot pepper relish, and onions & peppers said it all! I had the chipotle ranch sauce for my chips, but decided to put a little on the sandwich...WOW!!! I would have given it 5 stars, but the sandwiches don't come with sides and are priced separately. When you include a side with the sandwich, then ill give 5 stars...sorry.
(4)Kerica W.
Came ALL the way from St. Louis, MO because we heard about this place. Let me tell you what we heard was CORRECT! My son got the Willie and his words were: Oh My God, this is AMAZING! THE FRIES ARE DELICIOUS TOO! If ur here, make this place a stop!
(5)Seth S.
This place is great. If you love great low priced food (who doesnt) and music, you will love this place. The sandwiches are great and the brisket nachos were amazing. The staff is very pleasant with a laid back way of running a bar and a kitchen. From the outside the place doesnt look like much but you will be pleasantly suprised when you enter and see a modern laid back atmosphere with big screen tvs a full bar including good wine and a small stage setup where they have live music on saturdays and sundays. I guess this place just opened in december but i could see these all around the states especially in cities crazy about music. Wish they had one in st louis.
(5)Lucas E.
Great place! The staff are engaging and knowledgeable. Menu and food are fantastic, fresh & interesting. The hatch green chili stew is delicious. I've had/tried about 10 items off the menu and this place is a must try, and worth the drive across town!
(5)Pamela L.
We had high expectations, based on reviews, and our experience verified a 5-star rating for good, interesting, food, and surroundings. It made me wish we were not just passing through Oklahoma City, and could return for a live music night (and sample more of the menu). If we get the chance, we will come here again. There is an entrepreneurial intelligence apparent in all aspects of this restaurant, and I confess this took me by surprise (my bias). It is geared toward a sophisticated crowd. There is a choice of self-order or wait staff. Our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Sinatra. Check out posted photos of the menu to get a feel for the interesting food.
(5)Peter M.
The brisket nachos are amazing! Met with Don the owner and he was very friendly. Can't wait to got back

Friendly staff, quick service, good food and reasonable prices. Would definitely go back. Maybe some blinds though? The setting sun is pretty brutal.

Stopped in before checking in to my hotel. Nice little burger joint! I ordered the "Burning Love" burger, medium rare, beef, home made bun, with no condiments. I don't have a thermometer to check, but it looked more rare then medium rare (I don't really care because I like it moo'ing). I would have ordered rare, but most places refuse so I got used to ordering medium rare. The burger is hot, messing, and delicious. I love spice. Hotter the better. I would consider this a mild, but I know most people would consider it HOT! I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and enjoyed my conversations with the Bar Tender. Over all I would wait the staff as being kind and engaging. I will be back the next time I am in the area!

The nachos with the brisket and jalapenos were really good. However, the fish tacos were ehhh. The service was okay. I will probably be back if my co-workers invite me here again, but I doubt that I would pick to come here by myself.
(3)DenieceandAngel R.
Had the Dock of the Bay ( Fresh-baked bun, pan-seared ahi with honey srirachi glaze, sesame seeds, honey-lime slaw, wasabi mayo.) Highway to Hell (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.) And the Green-eyed Lady Cheese Fries ( Queso blanco, roasted poblano, sour cream). Staff was very nice and attentive. Food was fresh and tasty. I didn't care for the fries or the queso blanco which wasn't really blanco. The cheeses didn't mix well for me. It was a little pricy but still good.
(4)Mark R.
Excellent food, service is wonderful. Best food I have had in okc during our stay. Would highly recommend it.
(5)Grant A.
I love this place it was amazingly awesome great food with a really good environment a great band called Attika state playing very cool our watier was super nice and friendly the manger was nice too he came up and talked to us and gave us 10$ off next meal and was friendly too I highly recommend this place I Guarantee you will be satisfied with your experience.

The 5 stars is no mistake! Delicious food and great service. Apparently there's a secret menu, so ask about that!
(5)Justin H.
Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing people. If you enjoy dining out and eating good food, I highly recommend 5 Star Grille!!
(5)Jeremy S.
Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time and our waitress was awesome! I had the Burning Love burger which as you can guess by the name is a scorcher when you're talking about spicy heat! If you aren't in to spicy hot peppers this definitely isn't the burger for you! The smoky undertones in this burger makes it great though. My wife had the Allman Brothers burger which is a mushroom & Swiss burger but what made it so good was the maple and brown sugar bacon. The Green Eyed Lady cheese fries were great too. We will most definitely be back and will tell all of our friends and family about this great place.
(5)Tilly R.
This place is awesome! I can't wait to try it again. The atmosphere was laid back and played some great music. We ordered the frito pie app and it was great and HUGE! enough for 7 of us with some leftover. For my main meal I got the fish tacos and will never eat them from another place again. Totally amazing! Others got nachos, burgers and chicken. No complaints at all, server was also really good! Beer was cold! And prices are great! I was really impressed and will be trying to again very soon! Go!! If you are looking for a cool new place with new flavored, this is it, go!
(5)Jonathan V.
Had the "secret menu" item house nachos with BBQ brisket as seen in another recent yelp review. OMG, outrageous!!!! Also tried the pulled pork tacos. The tacos were very good. The beans and rice were so-so. Homemade fries are great, as is the ranch dressing for dunking. Gotta deduct one star for service. Our waiter did a good job, but was spread too thin with covering too many tables. He even mentioned they were short on help for how popular the restaurant has become. So that's kind of a good thing in a way. Regardless, fully recommend, especially for the nachos!!!!
(4)Dana S.
Manager reached out after a miscommunication during our 1st visit and received a hand written note from the owner! Excellent customer service.
(5)Jessica W.
This place is really good and the service is amazing. Every time we eat here we are always so amazed by how nice everyone who works there is! The food is great. Love the sweet potato fries.
(4)Sam W.
Stopped in because it was close to the airport and man were we happy we did! The food was very good and the owner, Don was kind enough to go through the menu and talk us through our choices. He even brought out a couple signature apps to try. We'll be coming back for sure. The nachos and the philly were very good.
(4)Sue P.
Tried the homemade chips w/ chipotle honey mustard sauce, fish tacos, classic Philly, and Graham burrito. Everything was SO good. Staff was super nice! I will return if I find myself in Oklahoma City again.
(5)Chase R.
Came here with some friends on a Sunday afternoon. They had been before and raved about the burgers. They were right! I had the Smoke On The Water with pulled pork and a buffalo patty. Awesome! We tried the Pulled Pork Nachos (forget the menu name) and the green chile cheese fries which were great also. I had the sweet potato fries and they were crisp and not greasy at all. Being from out of town it was nice to try some local beers on tap so of course I had to try DNR. The guy who runs the place (Don) was nice enough to come by and chat for a bit. Would definitely come back!
(5)Robert G.
Tried to have dinner here, but the place was vacant. Very disappointing to see that this supposedly popular place was not open as advertised. A number of friends of ours drive out of our way to get here. How ridiculous is that.
(1)Mitch W.
We tried it out on a whim and were not disappointed. The special was brisket nachos and there was more than enough to share between my wife and I. I also had a Born in the USA dog and it was delicious! The waiter was excellent and knowledgable of the menu. The atmosphere was really fun and I dug the live music on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back!
(5)Frank G.
Decided to check this place out, hotel even recommended it. Got a Swiss cheese burger with bacon and sweet potato fries. Cooked perfectly, incredible spice on burger and the burgers are chopped rib eyes steak. Very good, will come back soon and try the philly cheese steak. Owner does greet everyone
(5)Biff O.
Amazing burgers !!! Must come in...great service and excellent food ..from mild to hot burgers ..and the names they come up with are so awesome. . My favorite was the burnin love burger ...the owner came out and asked how it was ..and I said it's a great burger ..and I love how hot it is ..he went to the back and got me a tuperware dish with 7 Hot peppers in it to take home ... and he brought out some extra hot sauce he made and it was beyond hot and I love hot food... thanks again and I'll be going back again !!
(5)Jana W.
The food is great...very fresh and delicious! The service was very good, and the owner even welcomed us. Live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays.
(5)K P.
Great lunch and really cool atmosphere! The "smoke on the water" burger with buffalo patty was amazing! And the home made chip were just right! The waiter was friendly and offered suggestions...his suggestion to try the special honey mustard sauce with my sweet potato fries was perfect! A yummy addition I would have never thought to try! The owner was present and very friendly as well. They have live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights...we will definitely be back and look forward to hearing some local bands!
(5)Ruby G.
Great locally owned restaurant! The bartender is amazing with taste infusions to tickle your fancy! Vodka infusions are the best. We had The Dock of the Bay sandwich (without bread) the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese fries and The Jim Morrison bad dog brat. Finally Oklahoma is finding diversity in cuisine. Although I didn't try them, I was intrigued to find their burgers are diverse in protein sources-sirloin, turkey and buffalo. Have to go back soon because there are so many great items on the menu. See Steven at the bar for an excellent tour guide of the best tastes.
(5)Zachary Z.
Plenty of room in this place. Good bar vibe and even better food. I ordered the Smoke on the Water (Burger with shredded pork) and it was great. My friend go the Freebird (Chicken Sandwich with pineapple and chipotle honey mustard) and thought it was amazing. The house chips are some of the best I've had, granted that's not many. The sweet potato fries weren't overcooked nor were they greasy. We went on a Friday night and heard some live music which wasn't bad. Overall, I would go back just to taste the other things on their extensive menu. Great experience!
(4)Matt G.
Excellent food and service. Offering a variety of burgers and sandwiches, great tacos and don't forget the hand cut fries.
(5)Linda P.
So excited a new place in town! Wonderful burger and sweet potato fries! Don Elliott owner stopped by our table for a visit was great getting to know him. Give this place a try I don't think you will be disappointed! I almost forgot they have a gluten free choices!
(5)Steven G.
This is my fourth visit so far. We ordered the Brisket Nachos (not on the menu), these are really good, homemade chips topped with a light cheese and sour cream sauce I think, grilled jalapeños and brisket on top of that. Then I had the Pancho Burrito with hatch green chili sauce this time, great flavor from the hatch chili.
(5)Carolyn P.
Since moving to OKC, I have been to this establishment three times. The first time was fantastic!! It had just opened and it soon became my husbands favorite burger joint. However, the next two times we went have been a total disappointment. Once we got told they didn't have high chairs by a server, so my husband had to go hunt to make sure and found a stack near the bar. The last and final attempt we went, we waited a few minutes after being told to sit anywhere with no one coming to offer a kids menu or high chair. Again, luckily my husband knew where they were and went to get a high chair himself. Can't blame it on servers being too busy because this was 11:15 on a Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. We get the Elvis Fries every time and they are delicious!! The difficult part is paying $9 for a burger and it being dry. They ask you when ordering if you want it pink in the middle. I always say yes Medium temp. I am not sure if it is the percentage of the meat they use not rendering enough fat and being dry or plain overcooking. Needless to say with the decline in service and food quality we will no longer be eating here.
(1)Alisa F.
You wouldn't think this place would be amazing by its signage, but trust me, go inside! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a snack and a beer before we picked up my mom from the airport and we can't wait to go back for dinner! We got the green chili stew and it was amazing! It has brisket at the bottom. Whaaa?! And I had a "Willies Jolly Ranch Hand" it was watermelon infused vodka. Delish! Definitely go in and keep this local business going! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to go back!
(5)Paula T.
Unbelievably delicious mahi tacos! Enormous Caesar salad. Plan to share each for a perfect lunch for two. Will keep this place high on the "next time I'm in OKC" list.
(5)Jason M.
I visited the 5-star Grille in early January of 2015 and the food was great. I got the queso french fries. Really liked it! I got to talk to the owner and he made sure everything was awesome.
(5)Mike T.
Awesome, casual atmosphere. Quality food at great prices. Killer drinks and friendly service. This new place will do well!

(5)Jessica R.
Courtney was our waitress, very courteous and sweet and very attentive! First time for our family of 7 and very good food and atmosphere. Def recommend.
(5)Felicia H.
I ordered the chicken philly with house made potato chips. Being from the Philly area, I decided to check it out. The sandwich was AMAZING! No ketchup needed because the marinated chicken, hot pepper relish, and onions & peppers said it all! I had the chipotle ranch sauce for my chips, but decided to put a little on the sandwich...WOW!!! I would have given it 5 stars, but the sandwiches don't come with sides and are priced separately. When you include a side with the sandwich, then ill give 5 stars...sorry.
(4)Kerica W.
Came ALL the way from St. Louis, MO because we heard about this place. Let me tell you what we heard was CORRECT! My son got the Willie and his words were: Oh My God, this is AMAZING! THE FRIES ARE DELICIOUS TOO! If ur here, make this place a stop!
(5)Theresa J.
Overall - Probably won't make the drive again, but if you live/work in the area, it's worth checking out. Food - Great burger, however slightly overcooked. Drinks - Beer selection was terrible. Drink selection was amateur. The only thing they have going is a fantastic bloody mary mix and Moscow mules with real ginger beer (Crabbie's). Atmosphere - Fine (for the price point). Service - Excellent! Really the shining star of this place besides the food. Their afternoon shift change was a little rough, but everyone was very personable and friendly.
(4)B C.
Service was excellent! Food was average. Would not drive out of my way. Burger tasted frozen- hot dog was ok. Burrito was too spicy. I got the sweet potato fries - not included with the meal and they were the best part.
(3)Julie S.
Joining the conversation with five stars for Five Star Grille! How happy are we to have a new locally owned restaurant down here by the airport? First we got Medio Tiempo, which I love, and now this! Kasey and I stopped here when I got home last Friday, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The grilled chicken sandwich was great, and so was the mushroom and swiss burger (of which I got to try a bite). The fries were also very good - we tried both the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. Our service was great, and the GM came over to talk to us, which I thought was a nice touch. The music was also awesome, which makes sense since the owners are clearly very into music as you can see from the posters on the walls and the menu item names. Also - props for having F5 and DNR on tap. Maybe they would make me an FDR? I also saw they carry The Show wines, not something you see on many menus around here, even though they're great wines at an excellent price point. I'm sold and will be back, next time airport pickups bring me out this way!
(5)Kristian J.
I live in Edmond and to be honest this place was not worth the drive. The food was not bad by any means it was actually very good. We ordered the barbecue nachos and for myself I ordered the hotel California (mushroom burger) and it tasted wonderful. But it was nothing special or anything to memorable I feel like I could go somewhere closer and get the same thing. The truest issue was the bugs! I don't know if it's because the door kept opening and shutting but we had flies and gnats galore at our table. Seriously off putting.
(3)Bryan B.
This place was absolutely amazing. Service was out of this world, but the food was out of this universe! Green eyed lady cheese fries were off the hook. Golden fried hand cut fries that clearly never frozen covered with a green hatch chili and fresh made queso. The chicken Philli was also out if this world too, but look forward to trying one of their burgers.
(5)Melissa M.
Been there twice and I loved it really good food and nice environment. Love the live shows
(5)Craig H.
As stated in another review, Don Elliot came to the table and introduced himself. I understand that not every owner will be able to do this at every restaurant, but it really does make an impact on me when the owner takes the time to listen to their customers. Thank you for that, Don. I will happily support your business. I passed out your menu at my place of business to all the foodies in the office and put in the good word. As far as the food. The fries are hand cut and are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Allman Brothers burger, because you can never go wrong with The Allman Brothers! Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and swiss. yes.. it was as good as it sounds! I am really excited to try the other menu items. Excellent quality of all ingredients used on the burger but... special mention needs to be made to the bacon... great choice on whichever bacon you use guys! I am looking forward to returning!
(5)Michelle A.
Wow! This place needs to come to San Jose California! The drinks were refreshing and well made. The starters were already a meal with Fritos chili pie and green eyed lady cheese fries! Wow I wanted more and my chops were teased! I was able to try ....The willie and it had just enough chili and cheese and the pattie was moist and very flavorful. The Smoke on the water with slaw on the side was juicy with pulled pork and side of chips! Oh my dip those in honey mustard!!!! Then the Dock of the Bay had just enough spice and kick! Great philly!!! Also..... DONT JUDGE ME!!!! The highway to hell corn dog was a fat hot spicy 1/4 beef with jalapeños battered!!! I was quite the porker!! I LOVED THE WAITRESS!!! I believe her name was Nichelle. Too adorable
(5)Anthony L.
Closed and no notice of re-opening. Notification on the door states closed as of june 29th, was really looking forward to eating here
(1)Tera B.
We were in OKC for a convention, and decided to leave the fairgrounds for some *real* food. The other five star reviews here led us to the Five Star Grille, and OHMYSTARS they were right. His burger (the Allman Brothers) was juicy and flavorful. My grilled fish tacos were tangy and spicy. The beer was cold. The service was perfect: fast and hospitable and friendly, but very relaxed. The restaurant's ambience is very relaxing, as well, with muted blues and woods, and classic Blues playing on the speakers. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon stop. We liked it so well that we went back at the end of the night for a nightcap and appetizer, heedless of the actual hour. They served us anyway, once again with the same great attention and DELICIOUS FOOD. Bottom line: go there immediately and eat there often. Or ship them to St. Louis so I can.
(5)Sarabeth S.
Oh Yum!! This place is fun. We ordered the BBQ nachos and a burger. Everything was really good and lots of food. We also ordered some cocktails. Their cocktail menu is fun and different. Overall a very good experience.
(5)Lois R.
The remodel of this ex-Cajun Resturant was well received last night by my boyfriend and myself. Until during dinner we attempted to go wifi and it was locked. The wine menu had an logon that wasn't working for my iPhone 6....hence; not going online for our movie review wasn't great. The food I had was delicious (the bird) chicken with pineapple grilled to perfection with sweet potato frys! My boyfriend ordered the buffalo burger & homemade chips. He wasn't impressed with the seasoning (he loves buffalo burgers)...he thought the seasoning had too much garlic in it; he complimented the chips! Service was exceptionally fast, (my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off the waitress tight pants:(. We spoke to the owner, Don Elliot. I praised him for the photos of musicians. He shared his connection to Allman Brothers band & history of other restaurants he has in our great city. He was a perfect host and asked us to share our experience on Yelp & FB; Twitter ... I have had this app for 2 months I have used it for resturant choices, however, never to place a review. This is my virgin review..hope you find it useful enough to go to this resturant to experience it yourself and let me know what you think of it. We would have returned to the Five star if it had stayed open (closed already:(
(4)Seth S.
This place is great. If you love great low priced food (who doesnt) and music, you will love this place. The sandwiches are great and the brisket nachos were amazing. The staff is very pleasant with a laid back way of running a bar and a kitchen. From the outside the place doesnt look like much but you will be pleasantly suprised when you enter and see a modern laid back atmosphere with big screen tvs a full bar including good wine and a small stage setup where they have live music on saturdays and sundays. I guess this place just opened in december but i could see these all around the states especially in cities crazy about music. Wish they had one in st louis.
(5)Lucas E.
Great place! The staff are engaging and knowledgeable. Menu and food are fantastic, fresh & interesting. The hatch green chili stew is delicious. I've had/tried about 10 items off the menu and this place is a must try, and worth the drive across town!
(5)Pamela L.
We had high expectations, based on reviews, and our experience verified a 5-star rating for good, interesting, food, and surroundings. It made me wish we were not just passing through Oklahoma City, and could return for a live music night (and sample more of the menu). If we get the chance, we will come here again. There is an entrepreneurial intelligence apparent in all aspects of this restaurant, and I confess this took me by surprise (my bias). It is geared toward a sophisticated crowd. There is a choice of self-order or wait staff. Our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Sinatra. Check out posted photos of the menu to get a feel for the interesting food.
(5)Peter M.
The brisket nachos are amazing! Met with Don the owner and he was very friendly. Can't wait to got back

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a snack and a beer before we picked up my mom from the airport and we can't wait to go back for dinner! We got the green chili stew and it was amazing! It has brisket at the bottom. Whaaa?! And I had a "Willies Jolly Ranch Hand" it was watermelon infused vodka. Delish! Definitely go in and keep this local business going! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to go back!

Unbelievably delicious mahi tacos! Enormous Caesar salad. Plan to share each for a perfect lunch for two. Will keep this place high on the "next time I'm in OKC" list.

I visited the 5-star Grille in early January of 2015 and the food was great. I got the queso french fries. Really liked it! I got to talk to the owner and he made sure everything was awesome.

Awesome, casual atmosphere. Quality food at great prices. Killer drinks and friendly service. This new place will do well!
(5)Keri B.
The burgers are big and juicy and the fries are awesome. The bacon was amazing, like it's real bacon instead of what you get at a lot of resteraunts. The service was also excellent, though I've only been here when it's slow so far.

New place on S Meridian that just opened. We eat lunch in this area every day, so I was excited about a new choice. This place is now on the regular list for sure. The food was excellent (fries are hand cut and amazing!), and the wait service was prompt, fun and friendly. The joint has has a bit of a sports bar theme with a classic rock and roll theme...sound like an odd mix but it works. Be sure and try the Yellow Submarine Burger!

We were passing through on our road trip and ate here. Brisket nachos are glorious! Also tried the burning love burger...soo good! On top of it all the owner sat down to chat with us. It's rare to get awesome food and great service like this. Atmosphere was also something to behold, I can only imagine the place when they get some live music! I don't write many reviews but I would stop here again if I were passing through.

Awesome food and service ....if you like spicy food then you have got to try the Burning Love burger and then green eyed lady fries....live music on Wednesday nights....Stephen was an awesome server and the rest of the staff was fantastic as well !!!

Not being from the Oklahoma area, a friend of ours took us to Five Star Grille and what was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be a lengthy and enjoyable conversation with the owner and a new must stop spot in Oklahoma City. The food was fantastic and I would feel comfortable recommending this restaurant based on that alone, but the service we got from Trish and the visit from the actual owner himself really made this place stand out for us. Not only did Don (the owner) take the time to visit with my wife and I, but when we mentioned we were planning on taking our kids to Frontier City, he made a phone call to a friend and got us free passes for the entire family. And this was the first time we had ever met the guy!! Great food, great service, and a staff that makes you feel at home. I would highly recommend Five Star Grille and be sure to ask for the brisket nachos which are not on the menu yet, but should be.
(5)Anne S.
Absolutely LOVED the CHEESE FRIES. My salad was just average, but my sister really enjoyed her burger. If I were in the area regularly, I'd definitely check this place out. The service was also very friendly and accommodating.

As stated in the old Almond Joy commercial, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." Also, sometimes you just feel like sinking your teeth into cheeseburger, and the need to fulfill that craving led us to Five Star. We were the first through the door that day and so had plenty of time to crack a few jokes with the waitress as she explained the menu and gave us a few suggestions. While making up our minds we a went with an order of the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese Fries. That pile of fries, cheese, sour cream, and green chilies was delicious and hit the spot. As for burgers, the wife and I went for the Burnin' Love and Smoke on the Water. I particularly liked the Love as a spicy option with just the right amount of heat to tingle but not kill the flavors. In the end, Five Star was a decent meal but fell short of its namesake review. The burgers were decent, however, I don't see myself spending my money to go back.
(3)Virginia M.
We were out to do some grocery shopping, but knew going shopping while hungry is not a good thing (not for weight limits of the pantry shelves, nor for the pocketbook). We pulled out the yelp ap and did a search for something easy and close by. Taking a look at the menu of the Five Star Grille and seeing all of the hot spicy dishes (have I mentioned that my husband likes to breath fire) and a few that I would like as well (not the spicy mamma... should be my nickname), we decided to give this place a try. It was very easy to find and access to the parking lot was convenient (thank you so much for not having to put our car on a diet to get into the place). It has a very simple look to the outside, but clean and unassuming. The signs near the door spoke of live music. We couldn't stay for that but plan to go back to listen at another time. I mean really, what is better than live music? Inside, the sounds of guitar and soft rock greeted us, recorded at this time of day but still enjoyable for the ears. Not elevator music and not so loud you want to find ear plugs either. The pictures around the room inside drew our eyes immediately, Johnnny Cash, ZZ top, just to name a few. Nice black and white images to accent the tastefully decorated interior. The dark tones of a bluish grey with dark browns were subtle and yet not boring. Normally, I would say gray is boring, but the way this place combined the tones and the pictures was relaxing. Now, let me tell you about the service. Cameron, you are awesome!! He greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere. Ok, typical kind of stuff for an inexpensive place to eat. But then he was right there to get our drink orders and spilled out the specials of the night from memory including the options. I was impressed, and he also made them sound very good. My husband and I had looked at the menu on the ap, as I said before, and had picked out what we wanted, however, Cameron's description of the BBQ Brisket Nachos (not on the menu we had seen) had us looking at each other and raising that eyebrow of silent question. "Can we get it?" Grin, both of us asking each other at the same time. That silent married couple language thing, I guess. With a smile and a nod, the silent conversation ended and yep, you guessed it, we ordered those nachos. My husband, spicy man, ordered the 'highway to hell' hotdog (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.). That one just made me dab my temples just reading the description. I went a safer route and got the Hotel California sandwich (Portobello mushroom, fresh avocado, red leaf lettuce, red onion, bleu cheese, chipotle mayo on a fresh-baked bun.). I do love my mushrooms and avocados. While we waited, we never even saw the bottom of the glass on our drinks. I did say Cameron was awesome! And even when he was busy with other tables, and there were quite a few that came in about the time we did, either he or another waiter checked regularly on our drinks. Now, so far, I have only described the atmosphere and the service. The food...oh my goodness the food. The BBQ Brisket nachos lived up to their description and then some. I would never have put these items together but wow. We did not order sides due to ordering the nachos and we were glad of it, as the plate was heaping full of goodness. Onions, brisket so tasty, cheese (not sure what kind but it was in sauce form), and home made chips and other things too but I can't remember what. Just remember that it tasted wonderful. We bit into the main course as well, though we were delightfully distracted by the nachos. My husband kept saying...."mmmm" so I am guessing it was good. Giggle. He did say it wasn't as spicy as he was expecting. I asked him if I would consider it hot, and he grinned and nodded. So, it was hot. Don't let him fool you by downplaying it. Mine had some kick to it as well. I normally don't like onions on my meal unless cooked, but on the hotel california, they were good. The heat stayed with me though. Thanks again, Cameron for keeping the drinks refilled. I needed it to cool down from my sandwich. Flavorful and delicious and even though it was spicy to me, I kept eating. Oh yeah, did I ever. There was a roll of paper towels on the table, thankfully, as between the nachos and the juicy main dishes, we needed them. Though I did my best to not waste a bit of the flavor by licking my fingertips. Yep, that good. Now, as to cost. I would have expected it to be much higher especially with the appetizer. But the price was just over $30 for the two of us. If we had not gotten the nachos (so glad we did....yeah can't say enough about those), it would have been under $20 for the two of us including drinks. I really think this place will be getting our repeat business, especially to go sit and listen to live music at some point. If you haven't tried it, it is worth a visit.

I really feel like this place should be called 3 Star Grille. I had read the reviews and heard from some people it was awesome and just didn't have the same experience. We ordered the green eyed lady cheese fries for an app, and this was probably the best decision all night! The green chilies were awesome and the fries and queso mix was a perfect combo. We got the One Way Out and the Reggae Mon as cocktails and they were just ok. They weren't very good mixed drinks and I didn't enjoy mine at all. I ended up having to add ice from my water to mine--it was so gross. We saw the bartender looking at the menu to see the ingredients so I'm not sure if she'd even ever made a drink before. I ordered the Willie with ground ribeye, and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak. We shared the Elvis chili fries as a side. I must start off my saying I'm a burger connoisseur, so I love a good burger, this one tasted like a salsbury steak they used to serve in the school cafeteria, and my friends Philly was fine, but nothing special. The Elvis fries lacked depth, the chili was bland and the cheese was flavorless. I hoping to try again, the green eyed lady fries were definitely worth the visit :)
(3)Alisa S.
I was on a clean eating challenge, so I opted for the Grilled Fish Tacos instead of a burger. I asked for the Sriracha mayo on the side and that wasn't a problem at all. I liked the flavor of the sauce but I didn't miss it in my tacos. The tacos still had plenty of flavor without. My husband got the burger (spicy one). The waitress warned him it could get pretty spicy and she wasn't wrong. Luckily he can handle spice pretty well so he enjoyed it. We got our food pretty quick even though it seemed to be busy. The owner even stopped by our table and talked to us. I wouldn't mind stopping by here again (and finally getting a burger for myself) when I'm in the area again.

In today's world of online reviews naming your restaurant Five Star Grille, regardless of the etymology, is a daunting proposition. Luckily this establishment lives up to it's name. I decided to stop here while I was in town on a business trip since it was new and got good reviews on here. The staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive but the star here was the food. I had a burger and it was exceptional, probably the best I've had in quite a long time. The location is also within walking distance of the better part of a dozen hotels. Additionally the owner, Don, stopped by to ask me about my meal. This level of involvement is usually a good sign for a restaurant. If you are in town I highly recommend stopping by.
(5)Byron H.
It's a bit far for me but the reviews convinced me to try the place out. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I didn't experience anything worth 4 1/2 stars (save the service, which was very good). My wife and I split their smoke on the water burger (pulled pork and bbq sauce on top of a rib eye ground beef patty), and it was "fine". My wife felt it tasted like a hot dog, and honestly I could barely taste the burger beneath the pork and sauce. It was just sort of filler, which is not what you want in a patty. The fries (not included with a meal) were good, but that's not really worth writing home about. The decor is nice enough and it has a full bar if you're into that. Still, not a place I'd feel the need to visit again or recommend, at least for their burgers.
(3)Shane L.
Pretty decent for a decent price! Good atmosphere for a local American-style food joint, I had the Yellow Submarine burger which was awesome, fries were a little overcooked and salty to be honest but other than that the service and food was great!

The name says it all! Amazing food, great environment, cool music theme, everything about this place is worth the five stars both on the review and on the name. The service was amazing, i don't remember the last time i went to a place and didn't have to ask to get my drink refilled. Our server was attentive, nice, and helped us pick out some great items from the menu. We started our meal with some Brisket Queso Nachos with white queso made in house. Instead of using your regular tostadas these came with their house kettle chips which were just magnificent. I ordered the pulled pork burger and it looked and tasted amazing, the burger was a ground ribeye patty topped with pulled pork and some cole slaw. The last time i had a similar concoction was at Thee Pitts again in AZ. The burger was perfectly done (medium for me) and the pulled pork was as juicy and easy to chew as i have ever had. I wish i could have stayed in OK just a few more days so that i could have had the pleasure of trying some other of their entrees but this is one place i would take the 10 hour drive all over again just to come and eat here. Kudos on such an amazing place!

Had a great, filling fatty meal here last night with some folks from my training class. They had MASSIVE mugs of Shock Top for $3.75 so I was competely won over early. We started with their "special" of cheesy, brisket nachos. The chips weren't the typical nachos, and at first I wasn't a fan, but they grew on me as we inhaled this scrumptious dish. The queso blanco cheese was fantastic, and the great number of peppers gave the whole dish a spicy bite. The brisket was cooked all day apparently -- and although not as tender as I had expected with that description, it was deliciously flavorful! We also got the green lady cheese fries as recommended by many other yelpers. They were also delicious, but together with the nachos a little over the top as they also had lots of cheese and salsa verde on top. They were also a little salty for me... and as the QUEEN of salt, that's saying something! For my burger, I chose the Classic (to equalize the intense amount of cheese and brisket in other parts of my meal). After cutting into it, I realized they had never asked us how we wanted the patty cooked. Mine was much more rare than I usually prefer it, but it was juicy and thick. The veggies - lettuce, red onion, and tomato - were all extremely fresh and perfect! Coupled with the two appetizers, I only ended up eating half of the cheeseburger though. All and all, a REALLY cheap option for a delicious meal. But, make sure you expect to take some tums afterwards because it's heavy.

Holy crap. Best fish taco I've ever had. Who's idea was it to put feta cheese on a fish taco? I wish everyone did that. The siracha mayo is out of this world. The staff is so nice. I'm sitting at the bar. The bartender definitely loves her job. Cool as hell. Very rockabilly. This place is a little out of its element and that's what makes it stand out in the commercial restaurant capital of the world. Blues bar atmosphere. This place reminds me of Atlanta or Chicago. Go here to eat. You won't regret it
(5)Joey L.
I don't normally go with a five star the first time I have eaten at a place but this place is great. I would truly give it 4.5 stars if i could because I don't silly names for dishes--but other than that--it was really superb. Hamburger was cooked greatly--which is always a nice surprise--i don't see that often. And it's nice to have a good place to eat on Merdian--because it's a real dead zone done there. Go enjoy.
(5)Tilly R.
This place is awesome! I can't wait to try it again. The atmosphere was laid back and played some great music. We ordered the frito pie app and it was great and HUGE! enough for 7 of us with some leftover. For my main meal I got the fish tacos and will never eat them from another place again. Totally amazing! Others got nachos, burgers and chicken. No complaints at all, server was also really good! Beer was cold! And prices are great! I was really impressed and will be trying to again very soon! Go!! If you are looking for a cool new place with new flavored, this is it, go!
(5)Jonathan V.
Had the "secret menu" item house nachos with BBQ brisket as seen in another recent yelp review. OMG, outrageous!!!! Also tried the pulled pork tacos. The tacos were very good. The beans and rice were so-so. Homemade fries are great, as is the ranch dressing for dunking. Gotta deduct one star for service. Our waiter did a good job, but was spread too thin with covering too many tables. He even mentioned they were short on help for how popular the restaurant has become. So that's kind of a good thing in a way. Regardless, fully recommend, especially for the nachos!!!!
(4)Jessica R.
Courtney was our waitress, very courteous and sweet and very attentive! First time for our family of 7 and very good food and atmosphere. Def recommend.
(5)Felicia H.
I ordered the chicken philly with house made potato chips. Being from the Philly area, I decided to check it out. The sandwich was AMAZING! No ketchup needed because the marinated chicken, hot pepper relish, and onions & peppers said it all! I had the chipotle ranch sauce for my chips, but decided to put a little on the sandwich...WOW!!! I would have given it 5 stars, but the sandwiches don't come with sides and are priced separately. When you include a side with the sandwich, then ill give 5 stars...sorry.
(4)Kerica W.
Came ALL the way from St. Louis, MO because we heard about this place. Let me tell you what we heard was CORRECT! My son got the Willie and his words were: Oh My God, this is AMAZING! THE FRIES ARE DELICIOUS TOO! If ur here, make this place a stop!
(5)Seth S.
This place is great. If you love great low priced food (who doesnt) and music, you will love this place. The sandwiches are great and the brisket nachos were amazing. The staff is very pleasant with a laid back way of running a bar and a kitchen. From the outside the place doesnt look like much but you will be pleasantly suprised when you enter and see a modern laid back atmosphere with big screen tvs a full bar including good wine and a small stage setup where they have live music on saturdays and sundays. I guess this place just opened in december but i could see these all around the states especially in cities crazy about music. Wish they had one in st louis.
(5)Lucas E.
Great place! The staff are engaging and knowledgeable. Menu and food are fantastic, fresh & interesting. The hatch green chili stew is delicious. I've had/tried about 10 items off the menu and this place is a must try, and worth the drive across town!
(5)Pamela L.
We had high expectations, based on reviews, and our experience verified a 5-star rating for good, interesting, food, and surroundings. It made me wish we were not just passing through Oklahoma City, and could return for a live music night (and sample more of the menu). If we get the chance, we will come here again. There is an entrepreneurial intelligence apparent in all aspects of this restaurant, and I confess this took me by surprise (my bias). It is geared toward a sophisticated crowd. There is a choice of self-order or wait staff. Our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Sinatra. Check out posted photos of the menu to get a feel for the interesting food.

The brisket nachos are amazing! Met with Don the owner and he was very friendly. Can't wait to got back

Friendly staff, quick service, good food and reasonable prices. Would definitely go back. Maybe some blinds though? The setting sun is pretty brutal.

Amazing burgers !!! Must come in...great service and excellent food ..from mild to hot burgers ..and the names they come up with are so awesome. . My favorite was the burnin love burger ...the owner came out and asked how it was ..and I said it's a great burger ..and I love how hot it is ..he went to the back and got me a tuperware dish with 7 Hot peppers in it to take home ... and he brought out some extra hot sauce he made and it was beyond hot and I love hot food... thanks again and I'll be going back again !!
(5)Jana W.
The food is great...very fresh and delicious! The service was very good, and the owner even welcomed us. Live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays.
(5)K P.
Great lunch and really cool atmosphere! The "smoke on the water" burger with buffalo patty was amazing! And the home made chip were just right! The waiter was friendly and offered suggestions...his suggestion to try the special honey mustard sauce with my sweet potato fries was perfect! A yummy addition I would have never thought to try! The owner was present and very friendly as well. They have live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights...we will definitely be back and look forward to hearing some local bands!
(5)Ruby G.
Great locally owned restaurant! The bartender is amazing with taste infusions to tickle your fancy! Vodka infusions are the best. We had The Dock of the Bay sandwich (without bread) the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese fries and The Jim Morrison bad dog brat. Finally Oklahoma is finding diversity in cuisine. Although I didn't try them, I was intrigued to find their burgers are diverse in protein sources-sirloin, turkey and buffalo. Have to go back soon because there are so many great items on the menu. See Steven at the bar for an excellent tour guide of the best tastes.
(5)Zachary Z.
Plenty of room in this place. Good bar vibe and even better food. I ordered the Smoke on the Water (Burger with shredded pork) and it was great. My friend go the Freebird (Chicken Sandwich with pineapple and chipotle honey mustard) and thought it was amazing. The house chips are some of the best I've had, granted that's not many. The sweet potato fries weren't overcooked nor were they greasy. We went on a Friday night and heard some live music which wasn't bad. Overall, I would go back just to taste the other things on their extensive menu. Great experience!
(4)Matt G.
Excellent food and service. Offering a variety of burgers and sandwiches, great tacos and don't forget the hand cut fries.
(5)Tera B.
We were in OKC for a convention, and decided to leave the fairgrounds for some *real* food. The other five star reviews here led us to the Five Star Grille, and OHMYSTARS they were right. His burger (the Allman Brothers) was juicy and flavorful. My grilled fish tacos were tangy and spicy. The beer was cold. The service was perfect: fast and hospitable and friendly, but very relaxed. The restaurant's ambience is very relaxing, as well, with muted blues and woods, and classic Blues playing on the speakers. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon stop. We liked it so well that we went back at the end of the night for a nightcap and appetizer, heedless of the actual hour. They served us anyway, once again with the same great attention and DELICIOUS FOOD. Bottom line: go there immediately and eat there often. Or ship them to St. Louis so I can.

Oh Yum!! This place is fun. We ordered the BBQ nachos and a burger. Everything was really good and lots of food. We also ordered some cocktails. Their cocktail menu is fun and different. Overall a very good experience.

The remodel of this ex-Cajun Resturant was well received last night by my boyfriend and myself. Until during dinner we attempted to go wifi and it was locked. The wine menu had an logon that wasn't working for my iPhone 6....hence; not going online for our movie review wasn't great. The food I had was delicious (the bird) chicken with pineapple grilled to perfection with sweet potato frys! My boyfriend ordered the buffalo burger & homemade chips. He wasn't impressed with the seasoning (he loves buffalo burgers)...he thought the seasoning had too much garlic in it; he complimented the chips! Service was exceptionally fast, (my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes off the waitress tight pants:(. We spoke to the owner, Don Elliot. I praised him for the photos of musicians. He shared his connection to Allman Brothers band & history of other restaurants he has in our great city. He was a perfect host and asked us to share our experience on Yelp & FB; Twitter ... I have had this app for 2 months I have used it for resturant choices, however, never to place a review. This is my virgin review..hope you find it useful enough to go to this resturant to experience it yourself and let me know what you think of it. We would have returned to the Five star if it had stayed open (closed already:(

Great food and great service. What more would you want? Had the Jim Morrison and the Melissa.

Stopped in before checking in to my hotel. Nice little burger joint! I ordered the "Burning Love" burger, medium rare, beef, home made bun, with no condiments. I don't have a thermometer to check, but it looked more rare then medium rare (I don't really care because I like it moo'ing). I would have ordered rare, but most places refuse so I got used to ordering medium rare. The burger is hot, messing, and delicious. I love spice. Hotter the better. I would consider this a mild, but I know most people would consider it HOT! I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and enjoyed my conversations with the Bar Tender. Over all I would wait the staff as being kind and engaging. I will be back the next time I am in the area!

The nachos with the brisket and jalapenos were really good. However, the fish tacos were ehhh. The service was okay. I will probably be back if my co-workers invite me here again, but I doubt that I would pick to come here by myself.
(3)DenieceandAngel R.
Had the Dock of the Bay ( Fresh-baked bun, pan-seared ahi with honey srirachi glaze, sesame seeds, honey-lime slaw, wasabi mayo.) Highway to Hell (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.) And the Green-eyed Lady Cheese Fries ( Queso blanco, roasted poblano, sour cream). Staff was very nice and attentive. Food was fresh and tasty. I didn't care for the fries or the queso blanco which wasn't really blanco. The cheeses didn't mix well for me. It was a little pricy but still good.
(4)Mark R.
Excellent food, service is wonderful. Best food I have had in okc during our stay. Would highly recommend it.
(5)Grant A.

The 5 stars is no mistake! Delicious food and great service. Apparently there's a secret menu, so ask about that!
(5)Justin H.
Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing people. If you enjoy dining out and eating good food, I highly recommend 5 Star Grille!!
(5)Jeremy S.
Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time and our waitress was awesome! I had the Burning Love burger which as you can guess by the name is a scorcher when you're talking about spicy heat! If you aren't in to spicy hot peppers this definitely isn't the burger for you! The smoky undertones in this burger makes it great though. My wife had the Allman Brothers burger which is a mushroom & Swiss burger but what made it so good was the maple and brown sugar bacon. The Green Eyed Lady cheese fries were great too. We will most definitely be back and will tell all of our friends and family about this great place.
(5)Dana S.
Manager reached out after a miscommunication during our 1st visit and received a hand written note from the owner! Excellent customer service.
(5)Jessica W.
This place is really good and the service is amazing. Every time we eat here we are always so amazed by how nice everyone who works there is! The food is great. Love the sweet potato fries.
(4)Sam W.
Stopped in because it was close to the airport and man were we happy we did! The food was very good and the owner, Don was kind enough to go through the menu and talk us through our choices. He even brought out a couple signature apps to try. We'll be coming back for sure. The nachos and the philly were very good.
(4)Sue P.
Tried the homemade chips w/ chipotle honey mustard sauce, fish tacos, classic Philly, and Graham burrito. Everything was SO good. Staff was super nice! I will return if I find myself in Oklahoma City again.
(5)Chase R.
Came here with some friends on a Sunday afternoon. They had been before and raved about the burgers. They were right! I had the Smoke On The Water with pulled pork and a buffalo patty. Awesome! We tried the Pulled Pork Nachos (forget the menu name) and the green chile cheese fries which were great also. I had the sweet potato fries and they were crisp and not greasy at all. Being from out of town it was nice to try some local beers on tap so of course I had to try DNR. The guy who runs the place (Don) was nice enough to come by and chat for a bit. Would definitely come back!
(5)Frank G.
Decided to check this place out, hotel even recommended it. Got a Swiss cheese burger with bacon and sweet potato fries. Cooked perfectly, incredible spice on burger and the burgers are chopped rib eyes steak. Very good, will come back soon and try the philly cheese steak. Owner does greet everyone
(5)Robert G.
Tried to have dinner here, but the place was vacant. Very disappointing to see that this supposedly popular place was not open as advertised. A number of friends of ours drive out of our way to get here. How ridiculous is that.
(1)Mitch W.
We tried it out on a whim and were not disappointed. The special was brisket nachos and there was more than enough to share between my wife and I. I also had a Born in the USA dog and it was delicious! The waiter was excellent and knowledgable of the menu. The atmosphere was really fun and I dug the live music on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back!
(5)Craig H.
As stated in another review, Don Elliot came to the table and introduced himself. I understand that not every owner will be able to do this at every restaurant, but it really does make an impact on me when the owner takes the time to listen to their customers. Thank you for that, Don. I will happily support your business. I passed out your menu at my place of business to all the foodies in the office and put in the good word. As far as the food. The fries are hand cut and are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Allman Brothers burger, because you can never go wrong with The Allman Brothers! Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and swiss. yes.. it was as good as it sounds! I am really excited to try the other menu items. Excellent quality of all ingredients used on the burger but... special mention needs to be made to the bacon... great choice on whichever bacon you use guys! I am looking forward to returning!
(5)Theresa J.
Overall - Probably won't make the drive again, but if you live/work in the area, it's worth checking out. Food - Great burger, however slightly overcooked. Drinks - Beer selection was terrible. Drink selection was amateur. The only thing they have going is a fantastic bloody mary mix and Moscow mules with real ginger beer (Crabbie's). Atmosphere - Fine (for the price point). Service - Excellent! Really the shining star of this place besides the food. Their afternoon shift change was a little rough, but everyone was very personable and friendly.
(4)B C.
Service was excellent! Food was average. Would not drive out of my way. Burger tasted frozen- hot dog was ok. Burrito was too spicy. I got the sweet potato fries - not included with the meal and they were the best part.
(3)Michelle A.
Wow! This place needs to come to San Jose California! The drinks were refreshing and well made. The starters were already a meal with Fritos chili pie and green eyed lady cheese fries! Wow I wanted more and my chops were teased! I was able to try ....The willie and it had just enough chili and cheese and the pattie was moist and very flavorful. The Smoke on the water with slaw on the side was juicy with pulled pork and side of chips! Oh my dip those in honey mustard!!!! Then the Dock of the Bay had just enough spice and kick! Great philly!!! Also..... DONT JUDGE ME!!!! The highway to hell corn dog was a fat hot spicy 1/4 beef with jalapeños battered!!! I was quite the porker!! I LOVED THE WAITRESS!!! I believe her name was Nichelle. Too adorable
(5)Anthony L.
Closed and no notice of re-opening. Notification on the door states closed as of june 29th, was really looking forward to eating here
(1)Linda P.
So excited a new place in town! Wonderful burger and sweet potato fries! Don Elliott owner stopped by our table for a visit was great getting to know him. Give this place a try I don't think you will be disappointed! I almost forgot they have a gluten free choices!
(5)Steven G.
This is my fourth visit so far. We ordered the Brisket Nachos (not on the menu), these are really good, homemade chips topped with a light cheese and sour cream sauce I think, grilled jalapeños and brisket on top of that. Then I had the Pancho Burrito with hatch green chili sauce this time, great flavor from the hatch chili.
(5)Alex G.
Awesome food and service ....if you like spicy food then you have got to try the Burning Love burger and then green eyed lady fries....live music on Wednesday nights....Stephen was an awesome server and the rest of the staff was fantastic as well !!!
(5)Chris C.
We were passing through on our road trip and ate here. Brisket nachos are glorious! Also tried the burning love burger...soo good! On top of it all the owner sat down to chat with us. It's rare to get awesome food and great service like this. Atmosphere was also something to behold, I can only imagine the place when they get some live music! I don't write many reviews but I would stop here again if I were passing through.
(5)Carolyn P.
Since moving to OKC, I have been to this establishment three times. The first time was fantastic!! It had just opened and it soon became my husbands favorite burger joint. However, the next two times we went have been a total disappointment. Once we got told they didn't have high chairs by a server, so my husband had to go hunt to make sure and found a stack near the bar. The last and final attempt we went, we waited a few minutes after being told to sit anywhere with no one coming to offer a kids menu or high chair. Again, luckily my husband knew where they were and went to get a high chair himself. Can't blame it on servers being too busy because this was 11:15 on a Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. We get the Elvis Fries every time and they are delicious!! The difficult part is paying $9 for a burger and it being dry. They ask you when ordering if you want it pink in the middle. I always say yes Medium temp. I am not sure if it is the percentage of the meat they use not rendering enough fat and being dry or plain overcooking. Needless to say with the decline in service and food quality we will no longer be eating here.
(1)Alisa F.
You wouldn't think this place would be amazing by its signage, but trust me, go inside! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a snack and a beer before we picked up my mom from the airport and we can't wait to go back for dinner! We got the green chili stew and it was amazing! It has brisket at the bottom. Whaaa?! And I had a "Willies Jolly Ranch Hand" it was watermelon infused vodka. Delish! Definitely go in and keep this local business going! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to go back!
(5)Paula T.
Unbelievably delicious mahi tacos! Enormous Caesar salad. Plan to share each for a perfect lunch for two. Will keep this place high on the "next time I'm in OKC" list.
(5)Jason M.
I visited the 5-star Grille in early January of 2015 and the food was great. I got the queso french fries. Really liked it! I got to talk to the owner and he made sure everything was awesome.
(5)Mike T.
Awesome, casual atmosphere. Quality food at great prices. Killer drinks and friendly service. This new place will do well!
(5)Keri B.
The burgers are big and juicy and the fries are awesome. The bacon was amazing, like it's real bacon instead of what you get at a lot of resteraunts. The service was also excellent, though I've only been here when it's slow so far.
(5)Dan E.
New place on S Meridian that just opened. We eat lunch in this area every day, so I was excited about a new choice. This place is now on the regular list for sure. The food was excellent (fries are hand cut and amazing!), and the wait service was prompt, fun and friendly. The joint has has a bit of a sports bar theme with a classic rock and roll theme...sound like an odd mix but it works. Be sure and try the Yellow Submarine Burger!
(5)Beau M.
Holy crap. Best fish taco I've ever had. Who's idea was it to put feta cheese on a fish taco? I wish everyone did that. The siracha mayo is out of this world. The staff is so nice. I'm sitting at the bar. The bartender definitely loves her job. Cool as hell. Very rockabilly. This place is a little out of its element and that's what makes it stand out in the commercial restaurant capital of the world. Blues bar atmosphere. This place reminds me of Atlanta or Chicago. Go here to eat. You won't regret it
(5)Joey L.
I don't normally go with a five star the first time I have eaten at a place but this place is great. I would truly give it 4.5 stars if i could because I don't silly names for dishes--but other than that--it was really superb. Hamburger was cooked greatly--which is always a nice surprise--i don't see that often. And it's nice to have a good place to eat on Merdian--because it's a real dead zone done there. Go enjoy.
(5)Julie S.
Joining the conversation with five stars for Five Star Grille! How happy are we to have a new locally owned restaurant down here by the airport? First we got Medio Tiempo, which I love, and now this! Kasey and I stopped here when I got home last Friday, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The grilled chicken sandwich was great, and so was the mushroom and swiss burger (of which I got to try a bite). The fries were also very good - we tried both the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. Our service was great, and the GM came over to talk to us, which I thought was a nice touch. The music was also awesome, which makes sense since the owners are clearly very into music as you can see from the posters on the walls and the menu item names. Also - props for having F5 and DNR on tap. Maybe they would make me an FDR? I also saw they carry The Show wines, not something you see on many menus around here, even though they're great wines at an excellent price point. I'm sold and will be back, next time airport pickups bring me out this way!
(5)Kristian J.
I live in Edmond and to be honest this place was not worth the drive. The food was not bad by any means it was actually very good. We ordered the barbecue nachos and for myself I ordered the hotel California (mushroom burger) and it tasted wonderful. But it was nothing special or anything to memorable I feel like I could go somewhere closer and get the same thing. The truest issue was the bugs! I don't know if it's because the door kept opening and shutting but we had flies and gnats galore at our table. Seriously off putting.
(3)Bryan B.
This place was absolutely amazing. Service was out of this world, but the food was out of this universe! Green eyed lady cheese fries were off the hook. Golden fried hand cut fries that clearly never frozen covered with a green hatch chili and fresh made queso. The chicken Philli was also out if this world too, but look forward to trying one of their burgers.
(5)Melissa M.
Been there twice and I loved it really good food and nice environment. Love the live shows

Not being from the Oklahoma area, a friend of ours took us to Five Star Grille and what was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be a lengthy and enjoyable conversation with the owner and a new must stop spot in Oklahoma City. The food was fantastic and I would feel comfortable recommending this restaurant based on that alone, but the service we got from Trish and the visit from the actual owner himself really made this place stand out for us. Not only did Don (the owner) take the time to visit with my wife and I, but when we mentioned we were planning on taking our kids to Frontier City, he made a phone call to a friend and got us free passes for the entire family. And this was the first time we had ever met the guy!! Great food, great service, and a staff that makes you feel at home. I would highly recommend Five Star Grille and be sure to ask for the brisket nachos which are not on the menu yet, but should be.
(5)Anne S.
Absolutely LOVED the CHEESE FRIES. My salad was just average, but my sister really enjoyed her burger. If I were in the area regularly, I'd definitely check this place out. The service was also very friendly and accommodating.
(4)Kyle F.
As stated in the old Almond Joy commercial, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." Also, sometimes you just feel like sinking your teeth into cheeseburger, and the need to fulfill that craving led us to Five Star. We were the first through the door that day and so had plenty of time to crack a few jokes with the waitress as she explained the menu and gave us a few suggestions. While making up our minds we a went with an order of the Green-Eyed Lady Cheese Fries. That pile of fries, cheese, sour cream, and green chilies was delicious and hit the spot. As for burgers, the wife and I went for the Burnin' Love and Smoke on the Water. I particularly liked the Love as a spicy option with just the right amount of heat to tingle but not kill the flavors. In the end, Five Star was a decent meal but fell short of its namesake review. The burgers were decent, however, I don't see myself spending my money to go back.

We were out to do some grocery shopping, but knew going shopping while hungry is not a good thing (not for weight limits of the pantry shelves, nor for the pocketbook). We pulled out the yelp ap and did a search for something easy and close by. Taking a look at the menu of the Five Star Grille and seeing all of the hot spicy dishes (have I mentioned that my husband likes to breath fire) and a few that I would like as well (not the spicy mamma... should be my nickname), we decided to give this place a try. It was very easy to find and access to the parking lot was convenient (thank you so much for not having to put our car on a diet to get into the place). It has a very simple look to the outside, but clean and unassuming. The signs near the door spoke of live music. We couldn't stay for that but plan to go back to listen at another time. I mean really, what is better than live music? Inside, the sounds of guitar and soft rock greeted us, recorded at this time of day but still enjoyable for the ears. Not elevator music and not so loud you want to find ear plugs either. The pictures around the room inside drew our eyes immediately, Johnnny Cash, ZZ top, just to name a few. Nice black and white images to accent the tastefully decorated interior. The dark tones of a bluish grey with dark browns were subtle and yet not boring. Normally, I would say gray is boring, but the way this place combined the tones and the pictures was relaxing. Now, let me tell you about the service. Cameron, you are awesome!! He greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere. Ok, typical kind of stuff for an inexpensive place to eat. But then he was right there to get our drink orders and spilled out the specials of the night from memory including the options. I was impressed, and he also made them sound very good. My husband and I had looked at the menu on the ap, as I said before, and had picked out what we wanted, however, Cameron's description of the BBQ Brisket Nachos (not on the menu we had seen) had us looking at each other and raising that eyebrow of silent question. "Can we get it?" Grin, both of us asking each other at the same time. That silent married couple language thing, I guess. With a smile and a nod, the silent conversation ended and yep, you guessed it, we ordered those nachos. My husband, spicy man, ordered the 'highway to hell' hotdog (Jalapeno onion-battered hot link on a stick.). That one just made me dab my temples just reading the description. I went a safer route and got the Hotel California sandwich (Portobello mushroom, fresh avocado, red leaf lettuce, red onion, bleu cheese, chipotle mayo on a fresh-baked bun.). I do love my mushrooms and avocados. While we waited, we never even saw the bottom of the glass on our drinks. I did say Cameron was awesome! And even when he was busy with other tables, and there were quite a few that came in about the time we did, either he or another waiter checked regularly on our drinks. Now, so far, I have only described the atmosphere and the service. The food...oh my goodness the food. The BBQ Brisket nachos lived up to their description and then some. I would never have put these items together but wow. We did not order sides due to ordering the nachos and we were glad of it, as the plate was heaping full of goodness. Onions, brisket so tasty, cheese (not sure what kind but it was in sauce form), and home made chips and other things too but I can't remember what. Just remember that it tasted wonderful. We bit into the main course as well, though we were delightfully distracted by the nachos. My husband kept saying...."mmmm" so I am guessing it was good. Giggle. He did say it wasn't as spicy as he was expecting. I asked him if I would consider it hot, and he grinned and nodded. So, it was hot. Don't let him fool you by downplaying it. Mine had some kick to it as well. I normally don't like onions on my meal unless cooked, but on the hotel california, they were good. The heat stayed with me though. Thanks again, Cameron for keeping the drinks refilled. I needed it to cool down from my sandwich. Flavorful and delicious and even though it was spicy to me, I kept eating. Oh yeah, did I ever. There was a roll of paper towels on the table, thankfully, as between the nachos and the juicy main dishes, we needed them. Though I did my best to not waste a bit of the flavor by licking my fingertips. Yep, that good. Now, as to cost. I would have expected it to be much higher especially with the appetizer. But the price was just over $30 for the two of us. If we had not gotten the nachos (so glad we did....yeah can't say enough about those), it would have been under $20 for the two of us including drinks. I really think this place will be getting our repeat business, especially to go sit and listen to live music at some point. If you haven't tried it, it is worth a visit.

Had a great, filling fatty meal here last night with some folks from my training class. They had MASSIVE mugs of Shock Top for $3.75 so I was competely won over early. We started with their "special" of cheesy, brisket nachos. The chips weren't the typical nachos, and at first I wasn't a fan, but they grew on me as we inhaled this scrumptious dish. The queso blanco cheese was fantastic, and the great number of peppers gave the whole dish a spicy bite. The brisket was cooked all day apparently -- and although not as tender as I had expected with that description, it was deliciously flavorful! We also got the green lady cheese fries as recommended by many other yelpers. They were also delicious, but together with the nachos a little over the top as they also had lots of cheese and salsa verde on top. They were also a little salty for me... and as the QUEEN of salt, that's saying something! For my burger, I chose the Classic (to equalize the intense amount of cheese and brisket in other parts of my meal). After cutting into it, I realized they had never asked us how we wanted the patty cooked. Mine was much more rare than I usually prefer it, but it was juicy and thick. The veggies - lettuce, red onion, and tomato - were all extremely fresh and perfect! Coupled with the two appetizers, I only ended up eating half of the cheeseburger though. All and all, a REALLY cheap option for a delicious meal. But, make sure you expect to take some tums afterwards because it's heavy.
(3)Ashlie C.
I really feel like this place should be called 3 Star Grille. I had read the reviews and heard from some people it was awesome and just didn't have the same experience. We ordered the green eyed lady cheese fries for an app, and this was probably the best decision all night! The green chilies were awesome and the fries and queso mix was a perfect combo. We got the One Way Out and the Reggae Mon as cocktails and they were just ok. They weren't very good mixed drinks and I didn't enjoy mine at all. I ended up having to add ice from my water to mine--it was so gross. We saw the bartender looking at the menu to see the ingredients so I'm not sure if she'd even ever made a drink before. I ordered the Willie with ground ribeye, and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak. We shared the Elvis chili fries as a side. I must start off my saying I'm a burger connoisseur, so I love a good burger, this one tasted like a salsbury steak they used to serve in the school cafeteria, and my friends Philly was fine, but nothing special. The Elvis fries lacked depth, the chili was bland and the cheese was flavorless. I hoping to try again, the green eyed lady fries were definitely worth the visit :)
(3)Alisa S.
I was on a clean eating challenge, so I opted for the Grilled Fish Tacos instead of a burger. I asked for the Sriracha mayo on the side and that wasn't a problem at all. I liked the flavor of the sauce but I didn't miss it in my tacos. The tacos still had plenty of flavor without. My husband got the burger (spicy one). The waitress warned him it could get pretty spicy and she wasn't wrong. Luckily he can handle spice pretty well so he enjoyed it. We got our food pretty quick even though it seemed to be busy. The owner even stopped by our table and talked to us. I wouldn't mind stopping by here again (and finally getting a burger for myself) when I'm in the area again.
(4)James W.
In today's world of online reviews naming your restaurant Five Star Grille, regardless of the etymology, is a daunting proposition. Luckily this establishment lives up to it's name. I decided to stop here while I was in town on a business trip since it was new and got good reviews on here. The staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive but the star here was the food. I had a burger and it was exceptional, probably the best I've had in quite a long time. The location is also within walking distance of the better part of a dozen hotels. Additionally the owner, Don, stopped by to ask me about my meal. This level of involvement is usually a good sign for a restaurant. If you are in town I highly recommend stopping by.
(5)Byron H.
It's a bit far for me but the reviews convinced me to try the place out. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I didn't experience anything worth 4 1/2 stars (save the service, which was very good). My wife and I split their smoke on the water burger (pulled pork and bbq sauce on top of a rib eye ground beef patty), and it was "fine". My wife felt it tasted like a hot dog, and honestly I could barely taste the burger beneath the pork and sauce. It was just sort of filler, which is not what you want in a patty. The fries (not included with a meal) were good, but that's not really worth writing home about. The decor is nice enough and it has a full bar if you're into that. Still, not a place I'd feel the need to visit again or recommend, at least for their burgers.
(3)Shane L.
Pretty decent for a decent price! Good atmosphere for a local American-style food joint, I had the Yellow Submarine burger which was awesome, fries were a little overcooked and salty to be honest but other than that the service and food was great!
(3)Sherman T.
The name says it all! Amazing food, great environment, cool music theme, everything about this place is worth the five stars both on the review and on the name. The service was amazing, i don't remember the last time i went to a place and didn't have to ask to get my drink refilled. Our server was attentive, nice, and helped us pick out some great items from the menu. We started our meal with some Brisket Queso Nachos with white queso made in house. Instead of using your regular tostadas these came with their house kettle chips which were just magnificent. I ordered the pulled pork burger and it looked and tasted amazing, the burger was a ground ribeye patty topped with pulled pork and some cole slaw. The last time i had a similar concoction was at Thee Pitts again in AZ. The burger was perfectly done (medium for me) and the pulled pork was as juicy and easy to chew as i have ever had. I wish i could have stayed in OK just a few more days so that i could have had the pleasure of trying some other of their entrees but this is one place i would take the 10 hour drive all over again just to come and eat here. Kudos on such an amazing place!
