Expect the Unexpected at Black Walnut. Concept owned by Chef Andrew Black – a 2023 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef Southwest, and a 2022 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Chef. Blending American cuisine with the neighborhood’s cultural history, the menu is eclectic and vibrant. The pairing of global street cocktails from Bali to Brazil adds to its culinary spirit, and a spacious patio makes this our community’s new favorite place to come together. Dressed but not dressy, Black Walnut OKC is the perfect balance of thoughtful food and an unbuttoned experience.

We enjoyed a couple of rounds of appetizers for the tables and they where all very good. The oysters are over priced for sure but still tasty. The service was not very good as there was a large party in their which had the majority of the attention. Getting drinks from the bar was a very slow process and we did not get the last round at all. Overall, not a bad experience but there are better options for a similar meal.

I have heard great things about Chef Black's restaurants. We were excited to try it. I noticed the space was a little weird... Not sure of a better way to explain it. It wasn't a cohesive design. The chair didn't feel nice enough for the space, and layout felt cavernous. Tough to describe. After being seated, the waitress came to explain the menu. She noted they were out of 3 or so items. We had some questions about some of the other items on the menu. She didn't seem too knowledgable of the menu (unable to explain what something was). The arrangement of the menu wasn't starter / soup / entree, but more of a family style. We weren't made aware of this as the waitress stated that top items were starters. Note the menu was laid out by flavor profile, not courses. The waitress seemed to be trying hard, but I really think this falls on the management as it was more of a training issue, not an effort issue. We ordered the drum sticks, bread/cheese dish, house salad, and curry. The majority of the food was good, but the curry was definitely lacking flavor and seemed to be under seasoned. I'm unsure if we will be back.
