Our wide selection of pizza, burgers, salads, grab-and-go items, and of course our famous fried chicken from The Drum Room, allows us to cater to new friends and family of all ages and tastes.

We are a made from scratch restaurant. Pizza dough is made daily. We offer both wood fired and NY style pizzas. We serve fresh never frozen poultry from Oklahoma. Our chefs will be creating new seasonal salads and small offerings. A full-service 20-seat bar will allow guests to be taken care of while enjoying a craft cocktail or draft beer, and watching the game on one of our many TVs. The restaurant itself is a quick service style restaurant with a walk-up-and-order counter. We will prepare your meal and happily bring it out to you after you grab a seat in our spacious dining room. We will be opening our doors to the public in the early fall and look forward to serving all of Midwest City and the surroundings areas!
