First time at Edna's last Thursday after work. Have known about Edna's for years but decided to try it out after recently reading reviews about OKC bars that was very favorable for Edna's. The review enticed us to go.
We were greeted by a door man with the personality of a rock. He asked for ID which we produced. He later delivered our food with that same dour demeanor. That is the first time in forever that I have been I'D at a bar. That's an indication that they have had problems with the Abel commission and are on a short leash.
Edna's meets the definition of a dive bar: "A dive bar is a small, casual, and often inexpensive drinking establishment with a grungy, seedy, or disreputable tone". If you're into that kind of scene, this is your place!
The bar tender came to our table and took our drink order. Opposite the door man, she had a lovely personality. We ordered a couple of beers, chicken wings, cheese sticks, and fried pickels. The chicken wings were good, rating them a 4/5. The cheese sticks were good, rating them at 4/5. The fried picked spears were excellent, rating them at 5/5.
At 5:30 the crowd size was moderate, the noise low. No music was being played.
The menu was sticky nasty, leaving my hands sticky. I laid it down and went to the restroom to wash my hands. It left me wondering about the kitchen. I have always believed that if you can't get the little things right, you probably aren't getting the big things right.
The prices are reasonable. Two orders of wings, the cheese sticks, fried pickels with 3 beers came to $51.00.
Edna's was interesting, and I would go back if a friend wanted to go, but been there,done that, and Edna's won't be high on my list.
