Sure, there are many restaurants in the Norman area to review, but, for some reason, I am always led back to Main Street, notably that main drag of old town. It’s there you'll find Bison Witches Bar and Grill, 211 E. Main St., although they have operations in Arizona and Nebraska. Look ‘em up!
I first came to this college dive a couple of months after my stroke, with publisher Patrick at the steering wheel. Concerned with my progress of rehabilitation or lack thereof, after a dish of loaded nachos and an afternoon beer, he seemed alright with my slow recovery, the melted cheese leading the way of progress.
But, sadly, I haven’t been back…except now. Having a lunch date with my old friend Jodie, we met for a sweltering lunch sometime around noon.
True to form, Bison Witches was like I remembered last year. Equally known as a dive bar, the place has a college-roomie atmosphere, but except for posters of sunbathing beauties, a rickety ping-pong table and a tricked-out PS5, we had the less-rickety table with a recent glow of Pine-Sol cleanliness, a couple of menus, and an ice water or two.
After the salutations and greetings, I looked over the menu; although Jodie had a standing order of Chicken Cheese Nachos, I wanted some more deli-style, so I decided on a variable soup and sandwich: Cream of Potato Soup and the mascot of OU substance, the Sooner sandwich.
