Gary James, of Gary’s Chicaros, said he can easily spot a ‘freak’ or ‘f’ A man in a wheelchair claims he was denied service, and the small-town restaurant has been slammed nationwide for its hateful views.
This Oklahoma eatery will certainly leave you with a sour taste in your mouth.
Outspoken Enid, Okla., restaurateur Gary James has come under heavy scrutiny recently for his unsavory language and controversial views surrounding minorities and homosexuals.
Patrons claim that Gary's Chicaros dishes out a side of bigotry with each meal. These shocking revelations became public after a handicapped patron came forward to say he was refused service.
“Now, he tried to find a weak excuse not to let me in with my wheelchair or the weak excuse of having loud people with me,” Matt Gard told KFOR.
But James claims that Gard was denied a hearty steak dinner because of the rowdy company he keeps, not because he is in a wheelchair.
“He created an issue. You only have one time here. You create an issue, you’re out forever,” James claimed.
But as James defended his business practices, he unleashed an unsolicited tirade against the unemployed, “freaks” and “fs.”
“I really don't want gays around,” James told KFOR. “Any man that would compromise his body would compromise anything.”
Inside the restaurant, James proudly displays a Confederate flag.
“I’ve been in business 44 years, I think I can spot a freak or a f,” he added.
The restaurant’s logo says the eatery is where “great whites gather,” and promotes violence against Muslims and minorites.
Gard said that his clientele is “condoning” his views and behavior and views by continuing to patronize the eatery.
James ran for city council in 2009 and was consistent about his anti-gay views even in the spotlight.
“If I discriminate, it's against the people I dislike," James told News9 in 2009. “If you come in here with all the in-your-face and a limp wrist, no I don't really want you in here and my customers damn sure don't want you in here.”
His rather loose definition of homosexual extends to people who wear a hat indoors.
Negative and snarky comments have overrun Gary’s Chicaros’ social media profiles.
On Yelp, hundreds of commenters have unleashed a barrage of one-star ratings to torpedo the restaurant’s reputation.
“I prefer my meals to be smoke & hate free. The owner, Gary James, is an outspoken, loudly so, bigot,” wrote commenter Lynn P. of Fairview, Okla. “I can't believe this guy is still in business!”
Photoshop-savvy commenters have plastered James’ face near male go-go dancers and other racy images. An alternate Facebook account was created to advertise the restaurant as a gay bar.
James’ vile rhetoric isn’t limited to gays, minorities and the disabled. He isn’t too fond of the unemployed, either.
“Well if you work, you own a business, pay your taxes, you’re more than welcome here,” he told KFOR. “If you’re on welfare, stay at home and spend my money there.”
I suggest playing loud redneck country music....that should do it.
I do find a problem with restaurants that employ openly gay waiters or anyone else that ia a food handler for that matter. I’m talking about waiters that have the gay hairstyles, tattoeed eyebrows, and are flamboyantly gay. I bring this up because I went to a restaurant awhile back and there was a waiter just like that. There is no way a sane person could not look at them and know. Some of these guys could have AIDs. Hell they might even spit in your food which some gay people have admitted to doing. So WHY in the hell do I have tolerate them ifthey could cause my death by infecting me. The left would cheer some infected ones on to do it just to kill some consevatives they don’t like too. Sorry but they are NOT normal people thatbI feel comfortable with handling my food. And who’s to say they get them to take tests and they come up clean today but next week they get infected. They are a very promiscuous bunch compared to most straight people and they are more unstable and likely to do the types of things I mentioned.
I wonder how he finds any waiters.
Freedom of association means the right to please a liberal.
+1, Mr. James
I no longer care. The left can burn in hell.
His rather loose definition of homosexual extends to people who wear a hat indoors.

Damn...Talk about a stretch.!
got over the drunken Irishman stereotypes.
got over the drunken Sailor innuendos etc.
Now because I don’t take off my hat immediately upon entering his business he likens ‘me’ to a homosexual...
Almost as great a line as
“The restaurant’s logo says the eatery is where “great whites gather,” and promotes violence against Muslims and minorites.”
While the ‘motto’ may be a bit on the edge, WHERE does it promote violence????
Remember the guy in Philadelphia who posted the sign “Order in English” and almost got run out of town... He was fortunate that he is well known and a ‘landmark’ but it won’t be long until he will be forced to hire someone that speaks EVERY language on the planet...
Then the Cursive Crowd will say he doesn’t cater to them.
Doesn’t apply to Christians or business owners anymore. Every unit of society has to look like a miniature United Nations.
Freedom of association means the right to please a liberal.
Freedom of association should mean freedom of non-association. There should be some exceptions for public utilities... but private businesses are not public utilities.
