Blackbird Gastropub - Norman

This was our second time here. First time was great. Second not so good. Didn't have my beer or his cocktail that were on the menu. We ordered a flight and they substituted the Crown XR for REGULAR crown. The waitress and manager had no clue what was going on. My cocktail didn't taste good so we canceled our food order of which we were very excited about. Paid for my bad cocktail and wrong flight and got out of there.

Fantastic food and great ambiance!For appetizers, we had guacamole and chips. We requested no spice and they obliged. We also had meatballs in bbq sauce and chives with a gorgonzola mac and cheese, soo good! I had the pulled pork, mushroom quesadilla with a white cheese and pimento cheese, with sides of salsa, sour cream.Hubby had blackened shrimp with cheesy grits in a creole sauce that he loved. His plate was clean! ?Our friend said you can't go wrong with any of the dishes with pulled pork or roast beef. The roast beef sliders sound amazing!

I have eaten at Blackbird a couple of times a month and overall like the food and service and wait staff was always excellent. two nights ago my wife daughter and I were setting on the back patio. There are 11 tables back there and we were to only ones there. just before our food got there someone came out and started moving tables around then brought a group of 8-10 people and sit them next to us so close we had to move our chairs to let them in (Remember there are 10 empty tables some already sit up for large groups. We could not even talk to each other because of the noise and of course moved to a different area. I asked my waiter if it was someone new that did that and he said no it was the manager. No one said I'm sorry you had to move, we made a mistake nothing. The next morning I sent a email asking why and no response. we have been going there for the past 8 years it is apparent that when they make a mistake they don't care.

Enjoyed ou utep game and I had great sercice and great food! The pretzel bites are to die for!

Has some great food choices and good atmosphere. The tater kegs (appetizer) are delicious. The gravy on the brunch poutine was a little too salty for me, as if I got the last scrape in the pan or something, but overall nice place to come on campus corner.
