Any places to get some good food around the OU campus? I just had 3 people recommend a pizza place called kings. It was terrible. Very bland!

Cane's has a couple of locations. Dude that franchised them is a good friend of mine. Mention that you like midgets and he might give you a free box.

Right off of I-35 in Norman is this place called Ted's Café Escondido. It is seriously probably the best Mexican food I've ever had. They have about 10 types of salsas and the food is out of this world.

I realize it's not right by campus, but it's only 10 min away from campus and worth it. You won't regret it.

Teds is good for OK Mexican food. I liked it a lot but the cheese dip is gross


It's above average chain tex mex.

The service is what makes Ted's so awesome. I agree the food is just good, not great, but I've never had better service in a restaurant of that genre.

I haven't been back to Norman since 2008, but there used to be a restaurant called Legends that was pretty good.

If you can make a drive, Eischen's in Okarche has some fantastic chicken.

There are also a lot of options in Bricktown, about a 20 minute drive from Norman.

Ray's Barbecue is legit.

Last time I was out there I went to some place called Sooner Legends that had pretty solid bar food.

I'm flying out to Norman tomorrow for work also
