From Truck to Table -- A Family Affair

​

They say you shouldn't go into business with your family...but "they" don't know our family! 

​

It all began with a second hand truck and the urge to serve great food, specifically barbecue . Brother-in-laws and next door neighbors Brad Nixon and PJ Taylor, married to sisters Erin and Amy, together started what became The Meating Place food truck which has operated since August 2016 in and around Norman, all with the help of their very supportive family.

​

The desire to open a rain or shine, stationary location grew. We wanted to expand our menu and provide Norman with a downtown location that served delicious, high-quality barbecue, local beer, craft cocktails, and a lively atmosphere. The perfect opportunity opened on Main Street when McNellies left town. For five months, the renovations were intense to capitalize on all that made this iconic downtown venue so attractive, while energetically bringing to 121 East Main our own ideas on the bar and restaurant scene.

​

So, at once you will find the same wonderful food that let us take it all to this next level and a place full of exciting new offerings for the town we love!
