While driving on Main St in Norman Ok, if you go far enough east, you will get to restaurant that will call out to you and dare you to come in. If you are brave enough, welcome to Bison Witches. If you aren't, keep going and hang a right and get you some overpriced gyros. Bison Witches has finally enticed me into eating there. Here is what transpired...
We got out of the car and there was a crowd of about 4-5 smokers out front, getting a few puffs in. We stepped through the door and to my right there is a stage set up for something. I am thinking spoken word. We ventured back and found a seat beside the wall. The waitress, a punky little brunette, came back and dealt with us. I am not, repeat am not, a fan of the shi shi places around so this place was tweaking my senses. Would it be good or would it be a failure? Well, to my relief and chagrin, it wasn't either one.
I ordered a Beef & Cheddar sammich and a side of chili and waited. And waited... People came in and put in their orders and got theirs before mine came out. But wait .... no keep waiting... ahh here it comes. Basically I think the chili was okay. It was like good old Wolf Brand chili with a little cheese grated up on it and a couple small pieces of tomato. It was good but not exquisite, I guess there has never been an exquisite chili made, so I ate most of the chili and a little of the bread. The sandwich was bland. Just not a great taste to the Beef. It was just a beef sammich. Not incredibly seasoned... just sorta laid there and let me eat it. Didn't jump into my mouth and light it up... didn't make me want to hurl either. The chips were those hard old toothbreakers you find everywhere when you just need a Lay(s). Ahhh there I go trying to be Mr. Funny Pants.
I am not saying I will never go back. But it would pretty much have to be the only place open to get me to stop there again. It reminded me of The Mule in OKC. If the friends are going just sit and enjoy a drink. If not, just skip it.
Highlight - Watching a drunk guy at the bar sing Bye Bye Miss American Pie.
Lowlight - pretty much everything else.
Final thoughts; skip it unless you really like sammiches!
