Mugsy's Grubhouse - Yale, Oklahoma

We really enjoyed our first visit to Mugsy’s. We had the ribs and smoked sausage, and would recommend both. The fried okra was very, very good! Our favorite part was probably the rolls! Warm, soft and served with delicious cinnamon butter. Generous portions and fair prices.

Mugsy's Grubhouse is putting Yale Oklahoma back on the map!
We were headed to the Oklahoma Steam & Gas Engine Show in Pawnee and thanks to Tripadvisor we found MUGSY’S GRUBH0USE in Yale, OK. The place has a wide variety of sandwiches, BBQ platters, salads, baked potatoes, steaks, great sides, beer and wine, and a kids menu. I had the GRUBHOUSE burger and my wife the Fried Green Tomato BLT. Both were delicious and the fries were perfect. There were quite a few diners in the restaurant and I noticed that just about everything on the menu was being ordered; a testament to it is “all good!” The servers are very attentive to the customers and everyone works to keep the place spotless.
The decor in the restaurant is country and has a great collection of historical photos from the area. There are also, some beautiful sketches and paintings on display, which were done by a local artist. You could spend an hour just touring the walls. The owner is a hands-on guy. He was seating customers, busing tables, checking with customers to make sure orders were correct and took the time to visit with everyone in the place. I would say this guy has more energy than a 6 year old on a sugar high the day after Halloween!
On the way out we were looking at great collection of pictures on the wall. He noticed our interest and took the time to tell us about the historical pictures, the art work and gave us a tour of the place along with explaining the history of his business. They have large inside and outside dining area and are able handle some fairly large groups. The outside dining area is covered. Some of the tables are made from old wagon wheels and they have a couple of very unique windmill ceiling fans to keep you cool. There is plenty of parking in the back.
As the word gets out the MUGSY’S GRUBHOUSE will become a must do destination for bikers, car clubs and anyone wanting a great meal. It is really neat to see entrepreneurs such as this owner reinvesting their time and money into these small towns in Oklahoma.

Love this Place. One of my Favorites for BBQ. Clean Friendly Atmosphere Still feels brand new. Wait Staff is Eager to get those orders in. We enjoyed the Calf Fries. And they came up Fresh and Hot! I enjoyed the dipping sauce. We both had the 2 meat platter. We both had the Pork Ribs and Beef Brisket! They have choice of meats and sides. My sides were Fries and Cole Slaw. My Guest had potato salad and Cole slaw. Only criticism on the meal was the portion control on BBQ Sauce. I know it affects costs. The what you Are calling country music was on the loud side in the dining area we were in. Owner was in and said Hello. So much food had to take home the rest.

Large variety to meet anyones tastes. BBQ was outstanding- didn’t need sauce to make it great and the 2 meat was large portion sizes. Loved the asparagus and blueberry crumble cheesecake. Catfish was a little fishy and only 2 fillets in dinner. Baked beans are different but not to my taste, fried okra was crisp and fresh with great flavor. The cinnamon butter with the rolls is a nice touch. Want to visit again. Heard the steaks and meatloaf are really good and want to try for myself. Atmosphere is wonderful. Take time to look at photos and read some of the articles and look around. His wife did a great job with decor. Wander and do justice to her efforts!

Several customers waited for the doors to open on Sunday morning at 11.

When the doors were opened, we were greeted by the owner! He was very friendly. Since Sundays are Buffet Lunch, he showed us where the buffet was located and then directed us to our table.

The dining area was decorated in a Western type theme, with pictures and wooden tables that accompanied the theme.

The buffet served a nice variety of home cooked food, a salad bar, meat choices, and dessert.

Had to go back a second time just to taste the fried chicken. Mmmm, very good.

It was a very nice establishment, and the servers were always ready to take care of our needs. They definitely were pleased to serve!

Search this unique restaurant when in the Yale, OK and plan to make a stop. You will be happy you did.

I stopped here passing through on my way to Stillwater and I must say, I loved everything about this place! The atmosphere, the staff, the food! Everything just phenomenal. If I could give 10 stars that's what they'd get hands down!! Thank you guys for the lovely experience!!

Smells amazing when walking in!!

We heard about this place from the realtor who was helping us purchase some land in the area, and she treated us to our first meal. First time to come in and will be back! Friendly staff and clean.

My hubby got himself a steak cooked perfectly to what he wanted. (Said it was way better than a Texas Roadhouse steak) I chose the grilled chicken (a little dry) good char flavor. The baked potato was delicious as well. Now the cheesecake wins it for me for being homemade and really flavorful, not super sweet. Just right. Good portion sizes so you'll leave full!

Will be back! Already told my parents about this place. Definitely a hidden gem in Oklahoma you should try at least once.

Updated* 5/19 went in to try the Sunday buffet. Salad bar, potato bar, and an assortment of different meats. They do give you a variety but nothing that would pertain to the main menu was hoping for more BBQ items. Kinda pricey $15.95 so depending on how much you want to eat you could make it worth it. I liked the cream cheese frosting on the strawberry cake and the au gratin potatoes were good. The cake was dry. Blueberry cobbler was okay. The cheesecake you guys make is superb!

Awesome food! Pulled pork was 5 star for sure. Loved the BBQ sauce. Onion rings were great. Eat them while hot though. Spicy cowboy beans are fairly good but hard to eat whole bowl. Place is cool and comfortable and service was great. Sodas at $3.95 is just too much. It's a big jar but with ice that's reaching. I'll be back to try more cause my pulled pork was that good. They don't toast or do anything to the buns and that hurt the Brisket sandwich big time. It was sooo dry I had to bury it in BBQ sauce.
