As you all know, or should have guessed, I am not such a fan of chain restaurants. With that being said, on a recent visit to Tulsa, many recommended places did not open until 6pm. Well when it is 5pm and my stomach growling, chains seem to be the only place open. I went back to my hotel and dined at the Daily Grill. A pre-concert snack, of sorts.
I sat at the bar, and with only 7 seats of the 25 filled, I expected the service to be spot on. That was my first assumption to go wrong. Being a fully stocked bar, I also expected there to be ginger ale or at least bitters. Wrong again. After perusing the menu, I finally decided on a side order of Mac & Cheese and a slice of the 6-layer carrot cake.
They came out at the same time, which was perfect. The mac & cheese was a blend of four cheeses including Gruyere and cheddar. A very nice combination and although it was baked, it retained the creamy sauce texture. The carrot cake was 6-layers with a nice cream cheese frosting. Overall, really a flawless cake.
Although the Daily Grill is a chain, with locations in a few major cities, the atmosphere and food masked the service issues and the chain issue.
