How about Cornucopia. It use to be round 10th and Walker It had great subs and curly fries. Also I don’t know if anyone will remember Nicks Imports on Western and 23rd. The had great Muffalletta Sandwiches and Italian Sausage Sandwiches.

My first thoughts were Glen’s Hick’ry Inn and Ned’s Pizza. I still think of them fondly and often pine away for a great pizza from Ned’s. They were the best and most authentic in Oklahoma City back in the late 50s, and on until they closed sometime in the 80s. We loved it so much we would drive from Tuttle round trip to get one. Ned’s was located on May across from NW Classen High School, so it was a fur piece to drive! Oh, and the salad bar and steak at Glen’s were to die for. I believe Glen’s had the first salad bar here. It was wonderful. I would put both restaurants somewhere on Broadway, around the NW 5th to 10th area. That way they wouldn’t be right in Bricktown, but would be accessible to everyone in the city and close to hotels and Bricktown and Midtown. Hopefully there would be free parking.

I’m sure many of you remember “My Pie” pizza on 63rd & NW Expressway. I think they would be a huge hit in Bricktown. To me,that was the best deep-dish pizza around & I sure have missed it since they closed. They still have them in Chicago.

I would bring back Underwoods BBQ, like the one that was on SW 59th street years ago, I can still taste it ,nothing compares with it today. I would not put it in Bricktown, no parking. I would put it in fast growing Moore on I 35 and 19th street. My second choice would be Casa Bonitas.

Although I have only lived in OKC for 3 years and didn’t know there was one here. I have eaten at the Casa Bonita’s in Denver and that would get my vote!

Shakey’s Pizza from the 70’s. Best pizza around and great fun.

I’m dating myself, but I still think about Ned’s Pizza. That was the best pizza I ever had. Since I rarely go downtown or to Bricktown, I haven’t a clue as to a suggested location, but I bet it would be a hit!.

Good call on Casa Bonita!

I miss Full Moon Cafe on Western, pre-dating Iguana Lounge. I’d re-open it further south on Western or elsewhere in midtown.

I remember as a kid we would go to the Anna Maude cafeteria that used to have a location at Penn Square Mall. I still have a fondness for cafeterias, even if they’re going by the wayside. I think with Queen Anne’s closing, the Boulevard is the only game left in town…
