Isle of Capri — Restaurant in Krebs

I hadn't been here in a few years, and I remember it being pretty good. However, now I cannot really recommend it. The short version is that the service was very slow, we had to wait an extra ten-fifteen minutes for three of our orders, and the value simply isn't there.

To elaborate on the last point, the orders are presented "family style," as it was described to us, so brought to your table, regardless of the table's orders, are bread, salad, spaghetti, and raviolis. That's not bad in and of itself, but if you choose to order the $15 spaghetti dinner, you are not brought any extra serving of spaghetti. You are brought two meatballs. That's it. And then you are expected to take your spaghetti from the communal spaghetti bowl. The ravioli dinner is also similar. Since a table already gets ravioli, ordering that dish is pretty redundant when what you are brought is just a few more of the same ravioli that is sitting in front of you already.

It seems like the best value here is to eat alone. The $15 price point for some of these dishes makes more sense when you, by yourself, get all of the added food that comes with just sitting at the table. Once you start adding people that value goes down, especially when your waitress comes up to your table and says, "Here is your spaghetti dinner!" while only placing two meatballs in front of you. One at our table was waiting patiently for her noodles to be brought out until the waitress on a subsequent arrival told her that her spaghetti was in the bowl that the rest of us had already eaten about two-thirds of.

Beyond all that, three of our dishes came out very late, one of which came out by the time the rest of the table was finished eating. We basically threw that meal in a box. Our waitress had no good answer to why the basic gnocchi took so long to cook.

I will say that the food itself, once we got it, was not bad. It all tasted fine. From this experience, however, I cannot recommend The Isle over other similar restaurants...

We are retired military officers of 30 years. We first ate here in 1978, when getting our registered nursing degrees at Wilburton Oklahoma. One of my best friends , who was from a family of one hundred years of McAlester area Oklahoma farmers, had been a fan of these five Italian miner’s restaurants since 1950. All of us , including a granddaughter of the original owner of the theses famous five Italian miner’s restaurants, called Giacomos , graduated in us , from the registered nurse program at our Wilburton Oklahoma. We have lived all over America, and Europe, during our thirty years as military officers, and we still come to eat at these Italian restaurants every decade. Great food and people. If you like industrial fast food like the Olive Garden , and McDonald’s, please go there, but don’t bother trying this real Italian cuisine . Still make beef the best spaghetti and meatballs.We still have some of our college class who are military, or federal government employees , who now live all over the world, but still eat at these old Italian restaurant when they are...
