Stopped in for dinner during harvest fest. Super busy, but we were able to get two seats a the bar.

Our server was super nice and helpful! I tried the house-made root beer and it was delicious! My husband got a drink with “at risk” in the name and he really liked it!

For an app we tried the ahi tuna. It was very tasty, but a bit spicy for me.

For dinner we got the tallegio grilled cheese and the fried bahn mi dog. My husband really liked his bahn mi dog!

For the grilled cheese….it didn’t taste like much. Not much honey or cheese flavor. The egg was overpowering. The bread was really tasty. I was only able to eat half of the sandwich slice on the second half I found red paper in the sandwich. I could see the print of words on it. We told the waiter and she asked the chef about it and we could hear him say “it’s just the cheese rind, it’s edible”. My husband chewed on a bit to test it and it definitely had paper texture. Even if it is “edible” it’s not pleasant to eat. So maybe don’t put the rinds in a sandwich ‍♀️.

The water nicely asked if she could get me anything instead and we got dessert. The croissant beignets were amazing! So tasty!

The waiter ended up taking the grilled cheese off the bill since she had never seen that paper in the sandwich before. Super nice.

The ambiance combined with the excellent food easily makes Stilleater Proper one for the books. We loved the fried garlic noodles and bahn mi hotdog. We’re excited to try more of the menu when we visit next!

Stillwater Proper is a great place to eat and drink right downtown. They have so many drink options, along with unique food such as rice bowls, hot dogs, and great appetizers.
My favorite drink, so far, is the “Well I Guess This is Growing Up,” which is a spin on the Old Fashioned, and it did not disappoint. Definitely recommend it!
My wife loves all the Rice Bowls, and I was simply craving a burger, and they nailed that as well.
I can’t wait to go back!

They always have amazing cocktails here! Also, good food that doesn’t disappoint and a nice atmosphere. Happy to see they brought back their lettuce salmon wraps. We enjoyed checking out their happy hour!

Highly recommend the blood orange margarita.

I went with 3 kids today. The atmosphere was great. Me and the oldest had a smash burger which was very good. But the 2 Littles got a hot dog which had black seeds on the bun and cut in 1/2 lengthwise and put on a bun. What little kid is going to eat that?! And the “greens” that came with it were slathered in some nasty dressing. Kids won’t eat that. The grilled cheese should have been straight forward but alas, no, it was some crusty bread with the same greens. The kids were more than polite but the waitress acted bothered by the whole thing. It was a Tuesday afternoon, not like they were busy.

Great lunch today. And a bonus of free parking on a holiday!! Excellent pastrami sandwich with a side of the most delicious brussel sprouts I may have ever had. Talked with the staff about a new mocha martini mix that I can’t wait to try. Very unique menu with old Stillwater atmosphere.

Our experience here was great. Food was 10/10. We had the Filipino wings, pork belly bowl and fried chicken sandwich. All were incredible and full of flavor. Also the Proper Margarita is honestly one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. Top notch all around. Atmosphere inside is awesome with the exposed brick, old signs and cool tiled floor. Would definitely recommend and return!

I met a friend here for lunch on a saturday. I loved the vibe of the place as soon as I walked in. I sat and ordered a spicy vodka cocktail. First, I must say, spicy cocktails are always hit and miss, but SP nails it. It was delicious and I would get it again. I think it was called Cobra Verde. For food I ordered some truffle fries as an app to get started. The frys were very good, I would have liked them a bit thicker cut, but the flavor was great and they were fried so well, crispy but edible! For food I got a rice bowl it had Pork Belly with it. The pork belly was awesome, but the rest of the bowl was unimpressive. The veggies were just kind of bland (I was hoping they would have been pickled) and the rice was just well rice. There was a small spattering of some kind of aioli in the rice, but not enough to spread through the dish. Service wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. It just kinda was mid. I saw my server 3 times over the hour and a half we were there. 1)When I first got there ordered cocktail and fries 2) When my friend got there and we ordered our food 3) when I flagged him down for a 2nd drink and the bill.

All in all, it was a great spot to have a cocktail and some ok food to go with it, definitely better than a dive bar would be.

You can tell this place is run professionally. I checked them out and looks like the owner(s) own several restaurant brands. The decor, overall look and vibe makes this a nice date place.

As for food & service, it wasn’t the best food but for bar food, certainly above average. I ordered the Philippino style wings and they were surprisingly good. Very creative using a crispy rice bedding. The pastrami sandwich was good but it was thin on pastrami. We upgraded the fries to the Tagarashi ones and let’s say it’s just thin fries with sprinkles of Japanese spices. Barely even noticed it.

Overall not a bad spot especially for a touristy spot in Stillwater. I would have given a 4 star but I saw my food sitting under the heat lamp for the longest time – like they forgot about our order hence 3 stars
