It's being remodeled. I'm guessing it will be a couple of months.

My family has been regulars for many years and he was supposed to be open by the first week or so in June.

As I mentioned, it won't be a steakhouse. My guess is a bar restaurant. I asked if it was going to be a second location for Red Rock since the same owner has the building but was told no. It's a questionable site.

Longtime Tulsa restaurant, Diamond Jacks, is NOW OPEN at 7031 S Zurich Ave [NE of 71/Yale].

I drove by last week and the OPEN banners were up and the lot was crowded with customers!

I haven't been there for ages -- and only for lunch. Are they open for dinner? Can they accommodate groups of 10 - 15 people?

I hope they make it at that location. It's well known that several other ventures previously located there failed.

Bennigans has "closed its doors" according to the signs taped all over its windows. I also saw a fairly sized lunch crowd at Diamond Jacks. Good sign.

Diamond Jacks has a loyal following. I don't think a move will hurt them. It might actually help them. I'm curious what they did on the inside.

So is Diamond Jack's in the old Pearl's building?

Bennigan's was a great concept in the '80's but they haven't evolved or updated like Chili's or Friday's.  Not that any of those are outstanding, but they are a nice night out without tearing your pockets off and they've done recent updates.  I'm curious if Bennigan's is just closed for some badly-needed remodeling.

I also think Tulsa's over-saturation with restaurants is starting to catch up with us.

I'm a big fan of the Reuben-do they still serve those at Jacks?
