Go West

TMI,  TMI,   TMI,.....

Sorry, just in an onry mood.

We've been going there since they opened and have always appreciated their menu and love the saloon.  The owner, Johnny and his wife Aila, are very customer-oriented as is Peter, their bar manager.  We usually go at least once per week for drinks and menu specials.  They have a $5.99 lunch special during the week, but you are right, they are seldom busy.  I suspect it's the location, which is a shame given the beautiful facility.  I hope they are able to continue providing the great food and service.  They are closer and have better parking than many of the more mediocre restaurants in the Tulsa area.

They should cut bait and relocate in one of the new developments at 91st and Yale. 

A bit selfish of me since I live there.

Damn Southies.  Then again 91st & Yale is much closer to my house as well.

Funny though, Avalon never had trouble staying crowded at their original location just up the road in a more obscure place and their menu wasn't near as adventurous as Go West's.  I don't think Avalon made it six months in the new location before they went tits up.  This location has really good visibility, I think they just need to advertise it heavier.  People will go out of their way for a great meal if they know it exists in the first place.

They might also want to have some cheaper menu options for the folks who live around there.

91st and Yale might be closer distance wise.  Travel time, however might be a different story since you live just blocks from the BA...I loathe Yale south of 61st.  It's almost as bad for me as 71st anywhere between Yale and Garnett.

IMO, the Avalon lost its charm when it moved.  They shed some of the bad boy image.

It takes me a little under 10 minutes to get over there, at least when they don't have the BA EB to 75/244SB ramp closed. It's about 20-25 minutes from here to 91st and Yale, unfortunately. That's what I get for living so far north, I guess.

I like living up north.  I don't have to deal with all those damned Southies!

Our deliciousness confounds you.

Deliciousness is pretty close to dooshiness...

See?  You're confused just by reading a Southie post.
