Edmond Restaurants

[BBatesokc]

Don't know if it's been mentioned here or not, but Rocky Mountain Grill (formerly located near 2nd and Coltrane) has been open for a few weeks now in their new location at 3600 E I-35 Frontage Road in Edmond. That's the small strip center south of East 33rd on the east side of I-35. Weird location. Been a few businesses come and go from this location. They don't have a permanent sign up (just a temporary banner).

I used to eat their breakfast when they were at their previous location. Loved the breakfast burritos!

I went with a neighbor yesterday for lunch.

New place is nice and clean. Staff was friendly. There were probably 8 other people inside across 3 tables. Food was okay, but nothing memorable. We both had the homemade chip beef on toast with a side of green beans. We also had an order of beef fajita nachos to try/share.

The chipped beef was okay to good (not very hot though - Stouffer's does a better version). The bread wasn't toasted - I prefer it toasted with butter. The green beans were a let down. Tasted like they were poured straight out of a can with no seasoning added and room temperature. I'm surprised the entree was better because we were told by the waitress that "we are known for our chipped beef."

The nachos consisted of three large tostada chips with melted cheese and some chunks of fajita beef and a small scoop of sour cream.

The tostada was not crispy and the fajita meet was far too chewy. I'd liked to have seen some diced tomatoes, onions and a bit of guac on them. I probably would not order those again.

I'll probably go back to try their burger. I like good burger options near my house. I'll also probably go back to see if their breakfast is as good as it used to be.

They have a Facebook page with more info and hours... https://www.facebook.com/Rocky-Mount...8737068570320/

I'm not sure how anything in that strip stays in business. It's off by itself. It's one of those places you could pass by a hundred times and not notice. And it's not like it's surrounded by a lot of neighborhoods that would frequent it.

The Old Bonchon location has a sign above the door...apparently The Boiling Seafood Restaurant is taking its place.
Haven't been able to find a lot out about this place...not sure if it's the same place but I have found some locations in Ohio.
Looks to be a place that you order a seafood "boil". You choose your spice or heat level as well as your seafood choice. I've eaten at a similar place in Dallas and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'd assume they will serve other seafood options as well. Looking forward to this opening!!

I just saw that seafood place today. I might try it this weekend if they're open.

Oh crap, not sure how I missed Bonchon closing down! Wife and I were only able to get there once, and we really enjoyed it. Been meaning to go back, but don’t have many reasons to go that far north. The one time we went, it seemed pretty busy. However, that was not too long after they opened. Hope the owners or another operator gives it a shot somewhere in OKC.

The Boiling Seafood in the space that was previously Bon Chon appears to be open now. Anxious to hear how it is and try it myself.

If anybody else is curious, the boiling seafood goes by "Shaking seafood & wings".

Anyone know the reason for the abrupt name swap?

In my skimming I think I saw something about naming conflict with an already established franchise.

The sign still says boiling seafood.

[tsou89]

Hashtag on Santa Fe is now closed. It was coffee, waffles, etc. only thing open in the strip now is shaking seafood.

That was their second (and last) location to close is it not? Any word if the owner will pursue a different type of venue?

[d-usa]

That strip is having a lot of turnover.

This agenda has an interesting item #4: http://agenda.edmondok.com:8085/agen...sp=ag&seq=6910

[tsou89]

That’s interesting. Really enjoy Sunny Side but completely questioning the MacArthur location choice. I’d welcome a location in Edmond. Hope this plays out.

[jjjumper]

More details on Sunnyside. I hope this happens and transforms one of the ugliest corners in Edmond.

I couldn't agree more. This is going to be a good fit for this area. Now if only that unsightly audiology clinic next door could get a little love...

Decided to give the new Cajun spot in town a try Monday. C’est Si Bon 308 W Edmond Rd. Basically the corner of 2nd and Fretz. I’d looked at the menu on line and liked what I saw. I love Cajun food so I try to get by any new spot I can find.

I like spicy. I’m not picky. My go to at most Cajun spots is the etouffe. So that’s what I went with. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed. It tasted as if the roux wasn’t cooked long enough. A very “floury “ taste and texture. Very little flavor and almost no spice (kick). I had to add tobasco to kick it up. At most places it’s usually spicy enough that it doesn’t need help.
I’ve had etouffe at several spots around Edmond/OKC and sadly this one is the worst I’ve had and it’s not close!

All that being said, I’ll go back for another chance. I’d like to try the catfish and one of the po boys...but not the etouffe ever again!

Must be an Edmond thing. The MWC location is awesome!

[tsou89]

Possible. The place was dead. One other customer for take out when I was there. I'll definitely give it another try. I appreciate them opening in Edmond. Just disappointed in the etouffe!

sorry the pics downloaded sideways. Hopefully everyone can see the menu.

That's what I'm thinking... Etouffe is what I usually go there for and I've never been disappointed in either of the Mid-Del locations version of it.

[Thomas Vu]

They had a location out in midwest/del city too. I was disappointed by my visit. I didn't get anything uniquely cajun, but I left thinking I'm glad I know Sam's Southern Eatery exists. What cajun places do you recommend?

I don't have much experience with Cajun food the the Cajun King buffet was excellent. In addition to the buffet, they bring out fresh fried catfish with a honey dipping sauce. Very tasty.

ETA: I'm assuming you are not limiting it to Edmond.

You would be correct. I did enjoy the Cajun King when it was in Norman. Especially the fresh fried catfish!

IMO, Off The Hook is easily the best cajun place in OKC. They have a small location at Britton & Broadway Extension, and a larger location at Meridian & SW 19th that also has longer hours.

[BBatesokc]

Not sure if it's been mentioned here or not, but the Mexican food truck, Taco Loco, at 15th and Boulevard (SW corner gas station) is legit. We've been there a few times now (most recently last night) and the street tacos are very, very good. As good as any you'll get in S. OKC. Plus, they are still just $1 and $1.50 - 3 tacos with rice and beans $5. Been quesadilla ($5) is excellent too.

Every time I've been there has been 4-5 other people getting food too.
