My 15 year old son and I went here for the first time today. The way the restaurant looks is pretty cool, I liked the ambience. The quality of food, and the price's a HIGH very disappointed. We had the crawfish po boy $9.99 this for sandwich only. Nothing comes with it, no chips, fries, nothing but the sandwich, which was a regular sized sandwich. There is no lunch menu.
Cool place to hang out and have drinks, a $10 Po Boy not so much
Our waitress began by recommending one of the many moonshine cocktails the Bar offered. Â We chose the cherry one. Â The exact name escapes me at the moment. Â It was delicious!
Our party of 10 began to trickle in and everyone was promptly greeted and served with drinks.
The food was amazing! Â Everyone loved the poboy sandwiches. Â The staff treated us very well, even though we stayed right up till close (it was a birthday after all).
I'll definitely return!
Love this place. Miss panchiko but think this is a cool addition to the Oklahoma food scene.
Stuffed mushrooms for the appetizer were pretty good, but probably wouldn't order again. Also had the eggplant appetizer. It was ok, but nothing to write home about.
We had the blackened shrimp poor boy with the white sauce. It was awesome, I really liked the whole meal.
The bread pudding is the bomb! Do not pass it up
My husband and I stopped in here for dinner tonight after going to the Toby Keith Relief Concert. Â I ordered the fish cakes served over greens and it was excellent! Â The sauce really made the dish and being served over greens made it not too heavy of a dish. Â My husband ordered the fried oyster po boy and he said it's one of the better po boys he's had in the city. Â As a side, we ordered the fried taters. Â They were potato slices that had been fried and seasoned their own special way. Â I enjoyed them, but would probably try something else next time. Â
I ordered the Redneck Cherry moonshine cocktail and it did not disappoint! Â I really wanted to order the Koonass Mountain Dew, but they said they were out of the moonshine needed to make the drink and wouldn't have it back in until next week. Â I would go back just to try their cocktails as they are so unusual and so delicious!!
I really wanted to save room for the bread pudding for dessert, but it just didn't happen. Â However, I've heard it's amazing and we will go back to try that as well.
Overall, this is a restaurant when you're looking for something casual for dinner and you want to enjoy unique cocktails with friends.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Â This place caught me by surprise. Â Way off the beaten path for us tourist types to OKC and so worth the trip. Â Nice setup with outdoor patio seating and something going on downstairs that I'll have to inspect next time. Â We sat at the bar. Â Trendy decor, with a "hillbilly" country appeal. Â They were rocking some Merle Haggard like it was cool when I showed up. Â There are craft beer selections as well as moonshine! Â Since I was still on the clock, I opted for water with lemon. Â I had a fried oyster po boy with orange sauce and slaw. Â So very very good. Â The bread and oysters were absolutely magnificent to bite into. Â The slaw and orange sauce were perfect compliments. Â I saw other po boys that I would definitely try. Â They were not shy about the portions on my trip. Â For a lunch crowd, the place was packed and for plenty of good reasons. Â If you're in the area, stop in here for a little change of pace.
Review Source:At ~$9 a PoBoy, you'd expect a lot, but my friends and I left a tad disappointed. We got the Mack-Daddy's Muff, as recommended by the waitress, and the Swamp Brother's Baby Back Ribs.
The PoBoy was small for it's price, and the tapenade was too sour for our tastes. It wasn't terrible, but not our cup o' tea.
The alligator ribs were pretty pricey, but that's understandable, considering they have to ship market fresh alligator all the way up here. Guess gators are small this season, cause my ribs were about the size of an average hand. Slathered in BBQ sauce, they had a good flavor, but for $13, we could do without it.
Their Hill Billy Bread putting was excellent. I'd come here just for that next time. Reasonably priced at $5 and easily split between 2 people.
I'd come again, but probably for dessert and drinks.
Normally, I wouldn't ask someone who thought it was a good idea to sleep with their cousin to create a meal for me:
"Mmmm, squirrel... again... wow, you've really outdone yourself this time, Cletus".
No, typically I prefer that the person preparing my food has to use more than one hand to count the number of teeth in his or her mouth... or hell, even be able to count period. Fortunately, if there are two things hillbillies know well, it's moonshine and po boys, so it seemed only fitting to give Hillbillies a try.
They've got an interesting menu, quite a few different appetizer options to choose from - including alligator ribs, egg rolls, stuffed mushrooms and fried oysters. We tried the oysters, which were pretty good - just be aware that you'll get about 5 fried oysters for nine dollars, so just something to keep in mind if you want more bang for you buck.
As for the main menu items, they've got a variety of options to choose from ranging from blackened shrimp or crawfish to egg salad or even tofu. You have the option to order any of these meals on a baguette, served over rice, or over salad greens - these are 21st century hillbillies, afterall. In addition to the bread / rice / greens choice, you also get to choose between lettuce & tomato OR their house slaw - but absolutely under no circumstance can you ask for the slaw WITH tomatoes... apparently that is a hillbilly sin, according to the hillbilly bible (which, as it turns out, is just a few crude drawings scribbled on the outside of a brown paper bag). Lastly, you get to choose a sauce to go with your meal of choice (yellow, orange, cream, creole mustard, gravy - yeah... something about hillbilly gravy didn't sound right to me either) I felt like I needed a nap after the entire menu selection process, but ultimately decided on the blackened crawfish sandwich with slaw (no tomatoes! heaven forbid we get tomatoes AND slaw) and orange sauce. Verdict: the flavor was great, and - there is no graceful way to eat a po boy, but luckily hillbillies don't judge, it wouldn't be in their best interests.
The most intriguing part about Hillbillies is the fact that they are a moonshine only bar - meaning they serve only home made alcohol concoctions, so don't go in here expecting to slam some soco and limes for your 21st birthday (because who the hell else would still be drinking soco and lime?) Along with the homemade drink selection, they've got a selection of beer from Abita (New Orleans) and Great Divide (Denver), but despite the slightly misleading "Horny-Toad fried oysters"... no COOP, sigh...
All in all, we got an app, two po boys, a drink and a beer for fifty dollars (before tip) - so if I had to, I'd say my main issue with Hillbillies is the price point. You don't typically expect to pay 10 dollars for a "poor boy", but something tells me that these hillbillies didn't take too many classes on pricing strategy. Still, despite the steeper pricing, the food isn't bad at all, so there is certainly some potential.
I just can't wait till we live in a world where house slaw and tomatoes can live happily together on the same sandwich. Until then...
Overall Grade: B
I was very excited to see what restaurant would be going in where Pachinko Parlor had been located. Other than the train, this location is great, especially if you work downtown. The service was good and the manager checked on us several times, however, they were pretty slow. I can give a pass since they are working through the new restaurant kinks. We had the crawfish appetizer and I thought it could use more flavor. The fish cakes, however, were very tasteful and I would recommend them. I will be back to try this place again and hopefully be able to increase my rating. I love the idea and definitely want them to succeed.
Review Source:I left looking for a bit more food with the price I paid. Â It is an interesting concept, and I hope that Hillbillies Po Boy can find a groove, nitch or whatever. Â A Po'boy is supposed to be an inexpensive sandwich, hence the name. Â I will return for a pricey cocktail and appetizer and see if anything has changed, but I really don't see myself returning anytime soon. Â The atmosphere is interesting and I enjoyed the music...thank you for playing real country music...I would offer some advice of using some real Oklahoma hunting and fishing pictures!
Review Source:This is another great addition to the 9th street area. The inside is small but cozy. They just opened so they're still working out a lot of kinks most new restaurants have to deal with. Despite any issues that came up, the staff was incredibly nice! Several of them asked me how my meal was and made sure I was taken care of.
I got the blackened shrimp that came on a bed of spinach leaves. I wanted rice but they were out so I went with the greens. The seasoning on the shrimp was fantastic. It tasted just like canjun food should. Prices range from $8-11 for entrees. Appetizers and side items were also available.
Bar, booths, and patio seatings were available. I sat at the bar during my lunch break and watched some ESPN while enjoying my meal. I look forward to trying their other entrees!
Wow. I wasn't sure what to expect from @hillbillypoboy but this is an absolutely amazing addition to our little food scene!
I'm always hungry for a Po Boy and I love oysters - but when you put it in such a cool space, with such a killer patio, add moonshine and a playlist to die for, and I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops that this is my jam.
The prep on the Po Boys is so involved they have to stop serving them at 9 pm (lest they be there all night), but have no fear because the apps are bomb! We had the fried oysters (nom), the stuffed mushrooms, shrimp and shishito peppers skewer, and the grilled veg. All of it was absolutely outstanding. We'll be back, possibly tonight!
