Steakhouse
The Mesquite Grill
The Mesquite Grill serves up solid steaks that are way better than you'd expect at a casino in McAlester—their ribeyes come thick-cut and properly seasoned, cooked to temp every time. The Kansas City strip and the salmon are also excellent choices that locals swear by, and the sides like loaded baked potatos and grilled asparagus round out the meal nicely. The atmosphere is upscale-casual with dim lighting and booth seating that makes you feel like your actually splurging, even though prices are reasonable for the quality. You'll see a mix of couples celebrating occasions and regular players treating themselves after hitting a decent jackpot. The service is attentive but not hovering, and the staff knows most regulars by name. Reservations are smart on weekends because seating fills up, especially around 7-8pm.
