For years, travelers on I-35 north watched as this odd shaped building was transformed into a fish restaurant. There were articles in the news, and even a video posted of the owner/builder talking about the features and unique design.
The fish restaurant is on the I-35 Service Rd. north, between N.E. 23rd and N.E. 36th. It's hard to miss this unique building!
Menu items include: Jambalaya and Gumbo for appetizers; Soup/Salad. Poe Bouyz sandwich options are catfish, shrimp, chicken, alligator, crawfish and combo. Sides, breads, and plates are available. There are four entrees/specialties: Whole catfish, Seafood platter, Grilled Salmon and Grilled fish of the day. Kids' menu includes fish, chicken strips and catfish. A pasta bowl is also on the menu.
News9 did a story on the opening of this restaurant:
Article text:
A new restaurant along Interstate 35 in Northeast Oklahoma City is packing them in on its opening week. That's partly due to the head scratching looks the building’s been getting for years.
The Poe Bouyz House, a seafood restaurant, at I-35 and NE 36th appears to be a building sitting on its side. The door and windows are strangely angled. Water shoots from the mouth of a Poseidon statue and off the side of the roof.
“They thought it’s a Ripley’s Believe it or Not or some sort of artistic gallery,” said Tony Howard, who spent four years building the restaurant.
“When you open your mind, sometimes God puts crazy things in your mind. And this is what he’s done,” added Howard, who is a carpenter by trade.
“We’ve passed it many times…wondering what it was all about. The food is amazing,” said customer Jennifer Beagle.
Years of built up curiosity appear to equal customers. The place was packed for lunch Thursday, August 22.
The Poe Bouyz House serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., but Howard said it offers dinner starting Friday, August 23.
“It feels good to realize all the hard work and effort that has gone into this thing,” said Howard.
Hours posted on the website:
Tuesday thru Friday: 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Saturday: Noon to 8 p.m.
Sunday and Monday: Closed
