If on Court Street hit up Big Mamma's Burritos they are like chipotle but better! A good place to watch a game would be at the bottom of Court there's a bar and pizza place.

If you want more sit down there's a place called Leghorns at the end of State that's pretty good. Nice place to watch the games.

Burrito buggy for sure.

If you want to sit down, Greek place right next to j bar. Can't remember the damn name.

The Oak Room use to be really good. I would also recommend Millers Chicken ( a hidden gem) and Misstrettas. Both are amazing and only a few minute drive from campus.

Not really a chain. The owner has another restaurant in Hebron.

I was pretty sure it wasn't....but definitely looks like one. Have not tried it.

My daughter and boyfriend (Marshall) and several OU friends are sitting 10 rows back on the 50. I bought two regular priced tickets for them and the owner brought us 8 more and a parking pass....all for $70

Lol... it was a disaster. I decided on burrito buggy but it wasn't open. So the ex wife who was along decided on "pigskins".... it was meh. I almost just boxed up my food there so I could get a burrito at that other burrito place lol

Beer cheese soup at the pub is also an a+. The Pub was my spot on campus though.
