David has been asking me when I want him to take his vacation because he has two weeks this year. Finally I told David to have them leave it open and we could just take a day or two here and there. This morning as I was sitting out my desk I found a post on Facebook announcing Reba McEntire opened a restaurant and store Reba’s Place in Atoka, Oklahoma.
My Aunt Sue and my brother live in Oklahoma City and David keeps saying we need to go and spend time with them. Which I agree we do. My brother works during the day we could explore the outlying Cities and not only visit Reba’s Place in Atoka Oklahoma but Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill which is in Moore, Oklahoma were my Aunt Sue lives.
Constructed in a century old Masonic Temple, Reba’s Place features two stories of dining space that open to a central stage which will regularly host live music performances. The menu includes scratch made versions of many of the dishes most popular in the region alongside favorites from other areas including Nashville, New Orleans and Mexico
. Menu highlights include the “Fancy” Steak dinner, Street Tacos, Chicken Fried Steak and Reba’s personal favorite, Pinto Beans and Corn Bread. The main floor also showcases a restored antique bar that is more than 100 years old and offers a broad range of Beer, Wine and Spirits crafted into signature Cocktails.
The aesthetics of the venue are heavily influenced by Reba’s western heritage and include a curated collection of memorabilia from Reba’s personal archives that will regularly change. The retail space will feature a combination of merchandise created just for this new venture alongside established Reba favorites.
We would be able to also bring my brother because this is only 30 minutes from his home. Allowing us to visit someplace Suzzane would have wanted to go to. if you didn’t know it Toby Keith was one of her all time favorite singers as well as mine. As for Charlie and David also like him but would be more excited to visit Reba’s Place. Did you know when Charlie was little he always said he was going to marry Reba. LOL
SHOULD’VE BEEN A COWBOY
Nothing fancy here—just lots of down-home dishes prepared with care and served by our friendly and efficient staff. From our Cowboy Ribeye and St. Louis Ribs to one of Toby’s personal favorites, the Fried Bologna Sandwich, you’re guaranteed to leave adjusting your belt buckle with a smile on your face.

Also in Bricktown which is closer to my brother…
Last night least I would like to stop by The Pioneer Women’s Boarding House . Although, from what I’ve heard there usually full so we might not spend the night but at least I could say I’ve been there and that is what count’s isn’t it? The Boarding House is a uniquely themed eight-room “cowboy luxury” hotel just a few doors down from The Mercantile.

Thank you,
