I'm a huge fan of everything about this place, from the great food to the first rate service. The rooftop is a great place to entertain and the menu has something for everyone. The seasonal brussel sprouts are the best I've ever had and the crab beignets are unforgettable.
Great place! Sat at the bar until our table was ready. All the staff were very nice and courteous. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. All of our orders came out correct. Drinks were spot on! The food was great! Not a problem with anything! Would recommend to anyone!
The plate was so hot it would burn your fingers, but sadly the food was not! It was as if they put cold food on a hot plate. They still get 5 stars, because the taste of the food and the service was phenomenal!
Quite simply, one of our new favorite OKC restaurants. We’ve been there for both brunch and dinner, and the food and drinks have been excellent.
We’ve had uniformally good service, without hovering servers inquiring, mid bite, “how is everything tasting?” Clue: if I’m eating it, I like it.
15 top at 6pm. Everything was fantastic. Solid food, exceptional service. Will be back. Thanks !
Ate our brunch on the rooftop where there was no hour and fifteen minute wait. The view was fabulous as was the drinks, food and service. Will definately visit again soon!!
5 stars across the board! The food is fabulous, the service is sensational, and the atmosphere is astounding! Highly highly recommend!
Best Martini in town! I eat here every couple of months and it’s never a disappointment. Last nights Filet was cooked to perfectly! Not a single complaint from the entire group. Try the desserts!
Packards is a great restaurant in midtown. I love the atmosphere. Their brunch is pretty good, but I believe there is not enough of a selection, but everything I have eaten has been very good. The rooftop is a very fun atmosphere, and the service has always been impeccable. My only doing would be the lack of food selection.
This is my absolute favorite place for brunch! I have never had anything that I didn't like. The crunch-berry french toast is amazing! This is always my go-to when deciding where to eat with friends.
As we sat at the bar for lunch, my inner car buff was imagining shiny new Packard autos in this former showroom. My wife ordered the Piggy sandwich with crispy onion rings which she proclaimed a delight to the palate. My blackened catfish sandwich was good but started tasting a little too"fishy" (I know, I know) the last two or three bites. The side "Chopped" salad was a work of art and well presented. The artichokes are an innovative addition which highlight a mity tasteeee salad. Several draft and bottled beers are on tap along with mixed drinks. And copper-cupped mules!
Ate there for the first time today. Pleasantly surprised at the quality and lunch choices. The lunch menu had varied dishes, even a breakfast choice, and very affordable. The online menu scared me away all this time because of the prices. Apparently the menu changes from time to time. Staff was friendly and helpful. We got the brussel sprouts for an appetizer and they were the best I've ever had-cashews, candied bacon, thinly sliced jalepenos and a balsamic glaze. Will definitely get them again. The house salad with the maple dressing was really tasty and filling. Of course the pumpkin cheese cake for dessert was awesome! I'll definitely be back!
Packards is a unique, chic restaurant choice in OKC. The decor is nice and the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and ready to enjoy a nice dinner. Everything we ordered was good but it was pretty pricey for the taste. The rooftop is a great place to hang out and enjoy complimentary snacks and a nice drink with a view. I would recommend it more for that over dinner. There are so many good dinner options in OKC, I can't say that Packards is one of the top that comes to mind but it is one of the best for evening drinks outdoors.
Wonderful food, atmosphere and drinks. The rooftop is one of the best, if not the best, rooftop in OKC. Ideal for nice evenings. The restaurant gets very busy so be sure to get there early or make a reservation. They've maintained a lot of the original structure and design, so it's very chic. Great date night or brunch option too!
Everything here is a delicious and the service is always great. Steak is cooked to perfection, desserts are always divine. Appetizers are also all good. You pretty much can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
We ate here to celebrate my wife's birthday. We were given a complimentary scoop of their birthday cake ice cream to celebrate the occasion. It was like cookie dough ice cream because there were chunks of birthday cake embedded in the ice cream. Overall, it tasted remarkably like birthday cake.
We started out with the crab beignets. These were stuffed full with lump crab meat in a mild tasting mayonnaise. We thought that the dipping sauce served with the beignets was the same as the sauce used to bind the crab. The batter had the slightly sour taste that you expect from beer batter.
She got the pork chop entree. She was happy with the thickness and the amount of doneness (still pink inside). She also enjoyed the jalapeno cheddar grits and broccolini. I went for the lamb shank special with farro verde and curry cauliflower puree. The lamb shank was tender and generous in size. We got two more meals out of it after we took it home. The farro was a mildly spicy because of whatever green food they added to it. The curry in the cauliflower puree was also mildly spicy.
Both entrees were well presented on the plates.
We will return to try more of the menu items.
Packards was everything I expected. For months I've been wanting to go to brunch and I was finally able to go. The coffee cocktails with cold brew are incredible. We had the breakfast board appetizer and I have the fried chicken biscuit with pimento cheese. The food and service were great, I definitely recommend this place. They do accept reservations.
If there's one thing that Packard's understands incredibly well it is astute service for finicky people like myself. That said I don't go here for the food. I go there for drinks and for snacks which accompany those drinks. This is a great spot to meet with someone for a casual evening cocktail. There charcuterie is always exceptional as are most of the other appetizer dishes on the menu. As mentioned before the service is exceptional and I have more than a few times been able to get dishes which were not on the menu prepared for the table. Their cocktails are truly the highlight and in that arena they are doing some very sophisticated things. Their bartenders have a very good understanding of the spirits and the wines that they serve and they are great at helping you pair up your food choices if you decide to have a little bite.
I tried Packard's for the first time a couple of weeks ago at lunch. I was on the back end of the lunch hour so the place was pretty quiet. I thought the décor was nice--big high ceilings, big picture windows all around, light wood, a big inviting bar, contemporary and classy, but not stuffy. I asked the server for recommendations and she said the Red Lentil Curry was a very popular dish and since it was both healthy and spicy I couldn't say no. It was served piping hot with lots of veggies, still nice and crisp and a curry seasoning that got my sinuses open. I liked it and want to go back for dinner next time I'm in town.
My friend and I had an excellent dining experience when we visited for lunch. Our server, Jessica, was knowledgeable and friendly. We had the smoked salmon as an appetizer and the buttermilk pie for dessert. As our entrees I had the philly and he had shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious. My philly was hands down the best philly cheesesteak I've had in OKC. I will definitely be back and will be telling friends to try this restaurant. Good service, good food, good price, and a nice environment.
Wonderful Date Night. Went for dinner about a week before Christmas for our anniversary. We were seated promptly at a window table next to the Christmas tree, with a beautiful view of downtown...nice! Hubs had a beer and I ordered the Cinnamon Whiskey Sour, which was very tasty. Started out with the Mussels with Andouille Sausage in a Smoked Tomato Broth and the House-Made Bread. Both were so delicious that we couldn't wait for our entrees, and we were not disappointed! The Pork Chop with Apple Butter and Jalapeno Cheddar Grits was one of the best pork chops I've ever eaten. The meat was moist and the apple butter added a hint of sweetness. The grits were creamy and decadent and the portion large. Husband ordered the Filet and it was equally amazing. The steak was cooked as ordered (medium) and wonderfully seasoned. The accompanying red wine reduction was delicious. There are many places in OKC to get a great steak and this was right up there with some of the best we've had. Needless to say, we were too full for dessert. Our server gave us exceptional service. I think her name was Michaeala...she wrote it on our receipt and I misplaced it, sorry to say! She was attentive without being intrusive, was well-versed in the menu and the wine list, and didn't rush us, even though the restaurant became quite busy after we were seated. So glad we hadn't read the negative reviews on this site, or we may have decided on another restaurant. We had a 5 star experience and highly recommend Packard's...we will be back!
Had a great dining experience here tonight... Had reservation for 19, but several brought parties brought an "extra ". The restaurant was booked solid, but one of the managers (Amy) was incredibly accommodating and nice to us and provided us with extra chairs. Meanwhile, our two servers (Ragan and Deanna... Sorry for the spellings, ladies , if I got it wrong) were kind, patient and couldn't have been nicer. The bartender lady. (Missed her name ) was on par with the others in niceness and professionalism. The service here, for our event, was, in a nutshell: perfect. I haven't talked to all the others about their food , but mine was good and I heard no complaints. I have been so impressed by the service tonight that I actually downloaded this app to write this review.
Great time. I was nervous after reading all of the negative reviews but a group of 6 of us decided to take a chance. We had drinks on the rooftop first and it was a great way to start the evening. I must admit that the bartender was not very friendly and she charged a different amount for each round, which was odd. However, it was such a great view that it was worth it. We went downstairs for dinner and we had a wonderful meal. The wait staff could not have been better and the food was excellent. Everything from the bread starters and salads to the drinks and the entrees were good. I had the special - bacon-wrapped pork meat loaf with cheddar grits and highly recommend that they add it to the menu permanently. This evening was a treat and we will definitely go back again.
My husband and I use Urbanspoon often and I'm glad we looked after and not before this time. Great food, service, and experience. We went for brunch and are excited to visit again for lunch or dinner. Not to mention the rooftop is always amazing!
Here for Mothers Day brunch. We were a few minutes early for our reservation but were seated promptly. 4 of us enjoyed the Bloody Mary bar and mimosas. Standouts were the bacon wrapped asparagus with poached eggs and the burger with onion rings. Asked for a side of hollandaise with the asparagus dish- no problem. The bacon could b improved by precooking and spiral wrapping the asparagus. Would probably crisp up a little more. The onion rings were thin and crispy and the onion was remarkably sweet.
Service was efficient and thoughtful. Portions were appropriate. We will b back!
Food is delicious - cocktails are creative and very good - be patient with the order time- to table
Packard's is awesome! I went there for brunch this past weekend and it was so good. My family shared several dishes and they were all so good. I highly recommend the sourdough pancakes, the biscuits and gravy and eggs bennie. Also, you must have a glass of the fresh squeezed orange juice. So good. Also, the atmosphere is so neat. I'm excited that OKC is getting more neat places like this.
Come here every Sunday for brunch!! Delicious.
Lovely. I really enjoy this place. I’ve never ordered something I didn’t like. The staff is very enjoyable and attentive. The rooftop bar is also very nice. The whole place just has a nice atmosphere.
We were so shocked that this restaurant had such a low approval rating. To our surprise, Our experience at Packards
Definitely deserved a 5 star rating. We went on a Saturday for brunch and instantly loved the atmosphere. To start our breakfast, they offered $2 mimosas, what a steal! And they were delicious. We also tried their house brew coffee, and were impressed as well. Between the 2 of us, We got the pork verde burrito, the bacon sandwich and a cup of the oatmeal. All of these items were truly delicious and so well prepared. We have tried many okc restaurants and this is by far one of the best places we have eaten so far. We already can't wait to go back to try the dinner!
We had a large party of 22. The atmosphere and service was great. Everyone seemed to like food. I had filet and thought it was ok needed more flavor. Drink menu is good. Would go back.
Don't get the so-so reviews. I was skeptical about trying Packard's after reading the so-so reviews of the place on Urbanspoon. But we thoroughly enjoyed our meals this evening, shared among 5 friends. Our waiter (Amelia) was great --- very sweet, confidant, informative, not overbearing
Our knowledgeable server explained everything on the menu flawlessly. She guided us through the menu and helped us choose two spectacular entrees. She had purple hair but I cannot recall her name. New to OKC we decided to give Packards a try. It was fantastic. The ginger carrot soup was full of flavor. The highlight was the cocktails. The bartender deserves two thumbs up! We had the duck mac and crispy thigh. AMAZING! I highly recommend Packards. The decor, service, and food was out of this world.
Packard's is awesome. Went to Packard's today for brunch and had a waitress named Megan. She was great! I got the Chorizo Biscuits and Gravy... Absolutely incredible. My girlfriend got the Tofu Scramble and a Bloody Mary. They were both amazing. I don't eat tofu and I thought it was superb. If you haven't been here definitely check out their brunch!
Got there at about 10:45 on Sunday morning before the church rush and there were plenty of places to sit.
Saturday night walk up. We took a chance and walked in knowing it would be doubtful on a table. They offered us two seats at the bar, and took our number to text us if a cancellation occurred. The wife had a sauvignon blanc, and I Coop DNR on tap. Thats a good start!
We both had pasta dishes that we enjoyed. Under seasoned a bit, but cooked well. Our bartender, Taylor, was very enjoyable to visit with, and gave us very good service. We were offered a table, but enjoyed the bar.
Dessert was less than impressive, but the overall night was very good. I can say we will go back, but it sure seems to be hit and miss with many.
IDKWTF "New American" Means.... ...but I like it. Asian BBQ buns. Italian Carbonara. Central 'Murican Campechana. French Mussels. Delicious fresh tasting fish was the closest to the ol' "New American" I'm used to but if this is the *New* New American I'm OK with it and don't miss the adjacent roof top bar for the spectacular view of OKC. Can't. Wait. To. Go. Back.
Slow down and enjoy it. I was on my first date last Wed. Took her to Packard's for some fine food and custom drinks. Though service was not the fastest, they were friendly and knowledgeable of the dishes. I ordered the Tuna and my date ordered the pasta carbonara. Both took about 15-20 minutes to arrive. that is the correct amount of time too cook chicken, During out wait we had a couple of Pack Mules their custom drinks. Delicious and fun. the ambiance was great and we had a wonderful time. not to noisy their either which was very important and made our night special. thank you Packard's for a wonderful evening.

Great environment and friendly staff with awesome rooftop. First couple of times when they opened and didn't love it, but they've really turned things around since the chef changes. Pan seared chicken is delish and specials are always good
Amazing food, great patio, excellent service what a great addition for Okc!
I go to packards weekly, I have always left completely satisfied and pleased. The food is incredible, drinks are great, & the atmosphere is fun! Try the specials... The chefs are top notch.
Great atmosphere. Their menu doesn't have that much to choose from. However, everything that they do have is delicious. Been there a few times on the rooftop which was gorgeous and in the restaurant just to eat. The service is great! Love their drinks as well. Definitely a place I recommend.
Love their food! The pan seared chicken is amazing! Our server really knew her wine. This place is an excellent place to eat. The girl manager (don't know her name) was so sweet. Keep up the good work!
Love the place! Ask and you shall receive. The entire staff bent over backwards to make sure we had a great birthday dinner for 12. I admit that I wasn't a fan the first time but these guys have it together now! Ask for Kylee (spelling) she is a fantastic waitress! Also, Scarlet on the patio really welcomes you to the upstairs patio. This place is locally owned and operated and they want to give you a great experience so go and let them!!
Awesome food! Very friendly and knowledgable staff! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner! Also they have a great roof top with a phenomenal view of downtown!
One of the best meals I have had. Staff was very attentive. Worth visiting again!!!
Loving Lunch. So far only been during lunch and the food has been on point! The Duck Confit Sandwich was absolutely delicious! The bartender was super friendly and accommodating when I told him I was short on time. He recommended the special to me and I was licking my fingers as duck fat rolled down hands! The Onion Rings were crispy and light and the jam that went with it was delicious! And do not get me started about the Ribeye Burger I had today! With the Farm Fresh Egg and cheese added onto it I had the best lunch! My friends Mussels were fantastic also! I suggest sitting at the bar and chatting up the bartender! They are all really friendly and have great suggestions! Will be going back again as soon as possible!
My husband and I met for lunch. The service was fabulous. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was phenomenal. The Kahlua Pork sandwich on the Packard's Sesame bun, (banana leaf smoked pork) with ginger slaw was delicious.
My husband and I went there on a date this past weekend, and it was wonderful. The food was excellent and the service was great. We loved the pastrami and the the kona bites. Lovely experience all around. Can't wait to go again!
Absolutely loved this place! Felt so proud of our city when I first stepped into this place! The inside is stunning and the food is incredible. I've been for lunch and dinner and I am already obsessed. Everything I've tried was perfect. My advice is go with lots of friends and everyone order something different so you can try it all!
I absolutely loved this place! I've eaten there 4 times in the past 2 weeks and I can't get enough. The lunch items (pastrami sand, chicken salad sand) are unreal. Best bar and cocktails in the city. Consider me a regular
Beautiful restaurant. Food was perfect and we ordered every dessert on menu because we couldn't decide. A MUST in OKC dining.
This place is amazing. My favorites are:
Pastrami
Grouper
Compechana
Mussels
Burger with egg
Double cut pork
Carbonara
And the bar is amazing. All the drinks!!
I like to give a new restaurant a little while to get open & established. People who love food & know people understand that. This place is off to a great start!!
I've had lunch at Packards 2X and the food, drink and service were top notch both times. Love the Campechana...so, so good...consider ordering your own. The grouper sandwich with caper aoli .... oh my!!!
Went there for lunch today and it was phenomenal! Had the pack mule to start then some roots chips and hot olive plate! Moved onto wine and the chicken salad sandwich with quinoa. Finished up with the sticky toffee dessert and it was on point! Our service was amazing and our waiter Chris was very knowledgable about everything on the menu!! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out!
Just opened. I went to Packard's on the 2nd or 3rd day of opening for lunch. The menu is very Ludivine like and I mean that in a good way(they also have Ludivine's old bartender). I had the Veggie Burger (black beans and beats) and it was great. My wife had the steak sandwich and she liked hers as well. Later the same evening I met a friend for drinks at Packard's, the owner was present and took us on a tour of the place. The rooftop patio is amazing, complete with heaters, a bar and a great view. This place will have no problem keeping customers coming back and spreading the word.
It was good. Not the best I've ever had, but good. We will go back. The Mimosas go down easy, lol. The hashbrowns are weird (dry/crispy) and I wasn't prepared for that (don't order those). Service is good and staff is friendly.
This is my favorite Brunch spot! The staff is so sweet. I CRAVE the food. Plus they have a great drink menu. Kyler and Gavin are so amazing. They never miss. Don’t hesitate you have to eat here! They also have a great Dinner menu. Wonderful selection. Amazing for ANY occasion. 10/10
visited for a friends bday!
breakfast board was delicious.
service was not great. took a very long time to get drinks and food out. server seemed overwhelmed with big party.
atmosphere was nice. will return for dinner
This is one of the best brunch spots in Oklahoma City! I have never came here and left unsatisfied. Their food is delicious and the service is great. They have a great brunch menu and drink/wine menu that is friendly to meat eaters, vegans, and vegetarians! There’s options for everyone that won’t disappoint! I recommend making reservations as they can get pretty busy during brunch.
In an old Packard car dealership location, this restaurant has character bursting out of its walls. There is a beautiful church next door with very interesting architecture and statues.
The food was excellent. I had the Buddha Bowl and added some chicken for protein. Wifey and I split the spinach salad which was very light and tasty.
I’m a tourist outside of Oklahoma and this place was my blind pick due to the highly rated reviews..
And It did not disappoint a single moment that I was here. Aside from the clean, modern places, and the refreshing smell. The food was the BOMB and the best part. I will make this not so over exaggerated statement : “If I could lick the plates I would.” Everything was extremely tasty and the prices was also very affordable . I could eat at this places every day had I ever lived here.
First time visitor to Packard's and it did not disappoint. This is kind of an upscale, yet ok to go casual place downtown with absolutely delicious food. Being from Seattle where I can get fresh salmon at Pike Place Market, I'm very picky about my salmon. However their grilled salmon was grilled to perfection and juicy. My grilled vegetables were the perfect texture and well-seasoned. I also love that they allow you to substitute whatever you want so I have the creamed succotash instead of rice. I also took pics of the wonderful dishes the rest of my party had (Blackened Swordfish, Lemon Rosemary Chicken, Braised Short Ribs and a Buddha Bowl w/a Grilled Salmon Fillet). They thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. To top off our meals, the Arnold Palmer's were perfectly mixed as well.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch. Katy was our server. She made sure our lunch was 5 star worthy. We had the burger and the chopped salad followed by donut bread pudding. We had some dietary restrictions that Katy adjusted for us. We can not wait to return. They make their ice cream in house. So we already decided our next dessert will be banana coffee cake.
The atmosphere is nice, the apple bottom drink was really REALLY good if you like sweet drinks, and the salmon was amazing. The service was really spectacular, and the sourdough was bomb!
This bruch was so good! Went for a Bachelorette Bash and the staff was super friendly, we didn't have to wait for a table and the food was prepared quickly.
Had the avocado toast, side of sausage, and the OKCoffee! The avocado toast had great crispy sourdough bread with sweet balsamic vinegar glaze on top of fresh arugula, tomatoes, cheese and sunflower seeds! Perfect way to start off the morning!
All the food my friends received were amazingly good and we'd recommend any of the plates to try!
My favorite meal on my work trip to OKC. Got the pork chop with jalapeño cheddar gets. Absolutely amazing. Neat bar area and spot. Parking isn’t the easiest but well worth the effort. I will most definitely repeat this place.
Great service, delicious food. Basmati Rice is on 3 of their menus but unfortunately it does not pair properly. I tried with Salmon, the dish could have been good even without the rice. The carrots and bokchoy were amazing. Salmon was a little under cooked.
Pistachio Mousse is a.must have it. Other people on the table ordered the Corn cake with Ice Cream and I took a couple of bites and it was awesome.
Neat place, atmosphere is cool and laid back. Food is good and i love that it is local and not a massive chain.
Their brunch is good on Sundays and didn't have a stupid long line.
The meal was great from start to finish. If you enjoy mezcal any their chapalita libation is marvelous and well balanced. The fresh sourdough is worthwhile. The Brussel sprouts were good, the bacon in it made the dish. The blackened redfish on a bed of risotto with crawfish etoufee around it!! I was ready to lick the plate clean. The donut bread pudding dessert was a great twist on a classic! Thank you Jessica for being a 5 star server tonight for my birthday!! You went above and beyond!!
Good food and service. A bit pricey for an Oklahoma restaurant. Most likely due to the location.
