Packard’s New American Kitchen

Great service from our waiter, Daniel. We sampled the Brussels sprouts, crab bengiets, and enjoyed the pork chop for dinner as well as the feature which was a red snapper. Fantastic service, everything was played beautifully and the flavors were out of this world!

Regardless if you’re a carnivore or a PlantBased/​Vegan like myself, this place is spot on! The location is great. The parking is great. The vibe of the restaurant is great. The food is fabulous and the wait staff knowledgeable and attentive. I really recommend you try the veggie board or the kale salad. You will not be disappointed!

I highly recommend Packard’s to anyone who likes good food.
It is in a beautiful building and the atmosphere on the inside is inviting and fun. I went for brunch, and got a taste of the Bloody Mary bar, which was fantastic. I normally prefer to have the bar make it, but I had it on good authority that making my own was the way to go, and I was not disappointed.
The Eggs Cochon was one of the best egg dishes I have ever put in my mouth; heaps of pulled pork with a smoky green sauce on an enormous tender biscuit. Finished off by a slathering of hollandaise with the perfect creamy/​zesty ratio.
I got a sourdough pancake on the side, which paled in comparison to the Cochon but certainly had great flavor on its own. My husband got the vegan tofu scramble, which was one of the best I’ve ever had, very flavorful and filling.

We tried this restaurant for an early lunch yesterday on our way to a business meeting. I ordered the noodle bowl special for the day. It was average. My coworker had a burger and onion rings and said it was good. As the restaurant got more busy, the noise level increased to the point I could not hear the server. Glad I tried it. But I think I should have chosen a salad or sandwich. I observed these at surrounding tables and they looked good.

Went here for dinner and it was so good. I don’t mind spending more on dinner when it is worth it and this place is worth every penny. We had two different wine flights which were awesome. My husband had the Duck Breast and I had the Blackened Redfish. Both were to die for.

Note: bad reviews for this place seem to be about the service which has been great the 2 times i’ve been here.
5 stars is a lot… i know. However for OKC this is a 5 star restaurant and would be around 4 stars in bigger cities.
They smoke their own salmon and bake their own bread. How much more can u ask for?
The food tastes great and is very well prepared, plus the location and ambience are way better than the average in OKC.
The food: it’s your typical upscale hipster establishment but the portions are decent. They have interesting versions of typical classic meals.
This was our second time through and we had the cheese board, bread, smoked salmon, burger, duck and top sirloin all of which were excellent. The burger was up there with any burger.
This restaurant knows what it’s doing and deserves way more than 3.5 stars (thus my 5 stars to bring it up). It may be the «OKC factor» where everyone who lives here thinks a steakhouse in a hotel is fine dining. Open your minds and try this place.

Eh. The food just isn’t that great. The bernaise sauce was thick and too much plopped on. The English muffin was dense and cold. The potatoes mushy and cool.
This was our 3^rd time here each time hoping it would be good, yet a 3^rd sub par experience. Bummer because it’s such a cool atmosphere, design and location.

This place was amazing!!! I was visiting OKC from Seattle and we randomly gave this place a try. The food was fantastic — and great staff as well.
We had the Mac and Cheese, tomato soup, Brussel sprouts and bread. It was more than enough to split between the two of us.
So … to start with… the Brussel’s … lots of bacon, lots of cashews … and super savory Sprouts that made you almost sad when they were gone. Def my favorite dish of the meal.
Mac and cheese — it’s not your typical baked mac and cheese, but noodles tossed in cheese sauce. The change was good and they hit the mark with this mac.
If I am back in this area again, I would def come back to Packards. Great place and worth a try!

Very cool spot in midtown OKC. The reviews here have been raving so I definitely wanted to try it out. In particular I was excited about trying the curry. It was a little disappointing. I got chicken with it and it was just grilled chicken thrown on top.
My friends got the hamburger — looked good but they said it was not that special.
The service was very nice. Great list of wines and beers. It is a nice place and I will definitely be back more for the atmosphere than for the food.

If you’re like me and want your first time to be decent and memorable, do it here. Oh, I mean about curry. Beautifully presented (as beautiful as somewhat mushy green food can be), spicy balanced with sweet, crunchy spiced almonds, and a whole heck of a lot of it to eat and eat and eat. Me want this food.
The ambiance is cool and upscale casual, but the service was a bit slow for the amount of patrons. Extra points for having a water pitcher on the table so we can pour our own. Hubby is thirsty.

Fresh! Menu has changed since the last time we dined here but it was extra tasty. Picnic appetizer was super tasty and their homemade chips are addicting. Service was amazing during lunch and they had us in and out quick. Bar is decorated so lovely and I especially love all the windows in this location. Haven’t made it up to their rooftop but I’m excited to go back!

I am a mule fan and the Packard mule is, by far, my fave in the OKC metro. The atmosphere on the roof is fun and even when it’s hot the bar is there to cool
You down.
The plastic chairs freak me out a bit and I’m certain, at some point, I will see someone fall to an injury on one of these things. I’m telling you, I don’t lean back in them.
The food is fair– we chose a few items that were unremarkable, a salad, red fish, crab balls

Love this restaurant! The atmosphere is nice while still being casual. My husband and I split the spring forward wine flight and artisan cheese. They were both delicious! I had the breakfast club and my husband had the potato and vegetable soup and ordered the Philly to go.
I could only finish half of my sandwich bc the obviously house made onion rings (side to my breakfast club) were amazing and the artisan cheese filled me up. We reheated our sandwiches for dinner and couldn’t have been happier. Delicious! This is a must try and try again restaurant!

Good was excellent, service sucked!
All the food tastes great, Mac and cheese was amazing. I ordered a salad, specifically asked a question about the chicken portion size and he completely forgot to add the chicken to my salad order, took 15min to get it and by then my salad was gone.
We were completely ignored by our waiter almost the entire time. Finally took our check up to the bar tender to have him cash is out and our server said NOTHING to us! So disappointed. Ps, a disclaimer about the watermelon sorbet being salty would have been nice. Thanks a lot, Shane M.

Rooftop patio? Check. Cheese plate? Check. Craft cocktails? Check. Cool midtown location? Check. What’s not to love about Packard’s?!
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Packard’s since some of my favorite memories happened here, including my last date night before my first child and my 30^th birthday. Both times the staff treated us like royalty and made the special events that much more special. I’ve also been here for happy hours (inside and outside) and they always strike the perfect balance of accessible without stalking.
The drinks are phenomenal but can add up like they do at any craft bar. What’s really great about the food menu is that you can have a great meal without breaking the bank if you’re careful, making it a great place for a diverse group. Don’t miss the crab beignets appetizer or the cold brew old fashioned. Those two alone are worth a trip to Packard’s!

The food here is really delicious. I had a sandwich here and it was amazing. I really liked the environment and it had lovely service. I appreciate the big windows so you can see the city!

A little bit hipster meets a little bit farm to table to create a great place for brunch, dinner, or drinks. I have been on a few occasions for both dinner and brunch and have never been disappointed. The service, even when they are busy, has always been great. Their food is both original and delicious, taking a slight twist on the traditional, while not being too far out there for my picky eater husband. I am not a big cocktail drinker, but this is one of the few places that I will order a mixed drink instead of wine. Their cocktails are original and fresh, a must try if you visit. I have heard they have an awesome rooftop for happy hours but I have not made it up there yet. Definitely add this place to your OKC bucket list.

I came here as the result of a work meeting I did not set. I admit I would have never tried it otherwise. I am a big boy. I like big boy portions. That being said, I was very disappointed in the $ 11 Mac & cheese. It was delicious. The service was incredible. The atmosphere was interesting and very modern, as is the trend with the area.
I would highly suggest this stop to all of my hip foodie friends. I would not recommend this stop to my fellas that like a heaping helping of their culinary goodness.

I had such amazing service and loved the atmosphere at Packards! Then I received my food and it looked amazing too! So I jumped in and what I ordered wasn’t very good.
I decided to go with the special of half a rack of ribs with coleslaw. First time I have ever ordered ribs without potatoes, but I figured «ah no big deal». My big complaint was that the ribs were more fat than meat. Pretty much a bummer that my coleslaw was the main event of my meal.
Still Wondering if I should give Packards another shot or not. I might just be inclined to just have a drink at the bar and that’s it.

I have been wanting to come to Packard’s for a nice dinner since we went to their opening back in February. I kept hearing amazing things from people all over the place, so I expected some pretty delicious food and some yummy drinks. But my night was not what I had imagined it would be.
Any time we had a question, wanted to get a drink, order, or pay, we had to flag down our Joseph Gordon Levitt look-​alike waiter. We had a group of 10, but JGLLA didn’t seem to take into consideration that we were the first table when you came in the door. It’s a pretty heavy traffic area, so when he was talking about the specials of the day at the north end of the table, those at the south couldn’t hear what they were.
I first tried to order the special because it sounded awesome. But what I had heard and what the special actually was were not the same thing. So, I ended up ordering the red lentil curry and adding chicken. I also put in my order for a glass of wine.
While the place had several tables, they weren’t packed, so I didn’t understand why I hadn’t received my wine long after everyone else at the table had. We finally got JGLLA’s attention and I jokingly asked if they mashed the grapes in the back. He laughed and went off, as if he was going to grab my glass. Alas, I had to flag him over again because apparently the joke went over his head. The second time I just asked him if I could get my glass of wine. I also had to remind him of what I had ordered.
When we finally received our food, because this too took longer than one would expect (even from a nice restaurant) it wasn’t hot as if it had just come off the stove. It was rather luke warm. While the overall curry was pretty yummy, my chicken with seared so much that it had a burnt aftertaste. The person next to me had the salmon, completely black on the bottom. The person next to him had ordered the appetizer special for that night, the duck heart, which was also burnt. My significant other really liked his pork tenderloin and had no complaints. So, ¼ of the entrees weren’t burned! That’s good, right?
While I was expecting the price we paid before going in, I didn’t like paying it because the price just didn’t fit the experience. Someone mentioned that this place was pricey and «ya get what you pay for!», but I definitely didn’t get when I paid for. Our dining experience took much longer than we had expected. We showed up at 7:30, but didn’t leave until 9:30!
I won’t be coming back to dine for quite awhile, partially because there are many other establishments in OKC that I want to try or go to again. But also because the price and seared food and forgetfulness just don’t fit the bill.
All that being said, I do love the rooftop. It has a great view, plenty of seating, and a bar with some fabulous bartenders. And some of the appetizers can be pretty yummy (most of our party didn’t like the hummus, but I did). I don’t remember the pricing, but while it is a little higher end than Grandad’s would be, it’s not too over the top, depending on what you order.
