As long as people go out to eat at chain restaurants such as Bennigan's,
they will continue to flourish. What you described is what I would expect
at a Bennigan's, especially in/near a college town (Norman).

Many Bennigan's in KS have closed.

In KC, independent restaurant owners have formed a 'coalition' of locally
owned restaurants and advertise as such.
