My mom, siblings and I go to Oklahoma City a few times a year for shopping. We shop the whole day and usually eat in bricktown at the old Kevin Durant restaurant that was changed to the legacy grill last summer but the restaurant was closed down. So my mom suggested we eat at Johnnie’s charcoal broiler, which happens to be her favorite restaurant. My siblings have never tried Johnnie’s so they wanted to go.

We all ordered sweet tea but changed them for other drinks because they were watered down and no more tea was going to be made since the restaurant was closing soon. For dessert we bought some chocolate chip cookies for the ride home.
The staff wore red Johnnie’s shirts. My mom actually used to work at the Johnnie’s that used to be in Tulsa with the manager of the restaurant and they haven’t seen each other in years so they were able to catch up. The service was great and quick, the staff were very friendly. Some of them chatted with us while some just hung around waiting for closing
