I’m going to be talking about The Space for weeks to anyone that will listen. It was THAT good. The moment we walked in and got hit with the smell of what they’re cookin - we were sold. French onion dip app 10/10. Smash burgers (i got oklahoma and he got smashy) also 10/10. The crispy edges are unmatched… heaven sent. Finished off with the creme brûlée cheesecake, no surprise, it was a 10/10. The vibe is so dope. The staff is awesome and you can tell they actually WANT to be working here. Food is clearly made with top notch fresh ingredients. Cooked impeccably. The dishes are creative and I want to try every single one of them. 10000/10 experience. Can’t wait to be back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We made the trip from Bloomington to celebrate a friend's birthday. The staff was fun, accommodating, and patient with our large group! We were a bit rowdy but our server, Liv didn't skip a beat. We had so many appetizers but the wings were a favorite. I also had the Porklahoma Burgersmash and farm salad. 😋 Everything was hot and delicious. Not a single complaint from our group. I appreciate their experimental menu and fun mocktails! I tried the Apple Tartini and found it pleasant. They also have NA wine. Can't wait to go back!

The burgers, side fries, and side salad were good. However, the truffle fries had a strange smell - we think it was the cheese, but we're not entirely sure. We sat outside and had to kill at least ten small flies. It was a nonstop battle. The service was great! The automatic 18% service fee felt more than fair given the excellent service, but the mobile POS also displayed additional tip options, which made it feel a bit like forced tipping. Thankfully, our server was transparent about the 18% service fee.
