The Cheeseburger That Built an Empire: Experience Stillwater's Legendary Eskimo Joe's Guide
Eskimo Joe's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Stillwater institution. Famous for its iconic cheese fries, legendary cheeseburgers, and vibrant atmosphere, "Joe's" is a must-visit for anyone passing through or calling Stillwater home. More than just a place to grab a bite, it's a cultural landmark that embodies the spirit of Oklahoma State University and the town itself. Founded in 1975 by Steve File and Stan Clark, Eskimo Joe's started as a small bar catering to the OSU student population. The name "Eskimo Joe's" came from a contest, and the now-famous logo, featuring Joe and Buffy, was created by a local artist. Over the years, the restaurant expanded its menu and its footprint, becoming a beloved destination for generations of Cowboys and visitors alike. The restaurant's success is a testament to its commitment to quality food, friendly service, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. A visit to Eskimo Joe's isn't complete without ordering their famous cheese fries, smothered in melted cheddar cheese and served with a side of ranch dressing. Their cheeseburgers are equally legendary, juicy and flavorful. Beyond the food, the restaurant offers a wide selection of merchandise, including t-shirts, hats, and other souvenirs, allowing you to take a piece of Joe's home with you. The atmosphere is always lively, especially on game days, making it a perfect place to celebrate with friends and family.
