    Coconut - don't pass on the pie!
    Terry B.

    Old-school charm, great food, and even better memories! What an incredible place to grab lunch... or breakfast! Our group of five former co-workers met here for lunch to catch up and share some good memories, and this spot was a huge hit. We were seated right away and greeted with a friendly smile and menus. Our waitress came over quickly to take our orders, and before long, our food arrived hot and fresh. Service was excellent from start to finish. This was my second visit -- my first time I had the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, which was an absolute winner. Highly recommend! This visit I debated between breakfast or lunch but went with the Philly Cheesesteak. While it wasn't Pat's or Tony Luke's, it was still solid -- great bun, though I wouldn't have minded a little more meat. My wife went with the Chicken Tenders, and they were a big hit -- crispy, juicy, and way more than she could finish (hello, to-go box!). Bonus points for serving Pepsi products -- double win in our book! One of my co-workers ordered the Chicken and Waffles, and I'll admit... I had a little order envy when it arrived. The rest of the table enjoyed the BLT, Chicken Fried Steak, and Cheeseburger, all of which earned rave reviews. The 50's nostalgia theme is fantastic -- from the décor to the oldies on the speakers, it's got the perfect retro vibe. This is definitely one of those places you'll want to visit more than once just to explore the menu. For me, it's a two-hour drive, but honestly, I'd make the trip again. Whether you're in OKC or Tulsa, this is one diner that won't disappoint!

    Awesome food and service. We eat here a lot. Great breakfast, lunch or early dinner. Daily Specials on a wall sign. Love their meatloaf btw. Unfortunately they now close at 3 pm. We used to eat here for dinner but now we get a take home meal because they close early. Great staff and they celebrate military veterans (veterans get a discount) which we really appreciate . Brenda is the best waitress!

    Pies they sell.

    My husband has gone here on Veterans Day for two years and has gotten a free meal. They are so patriotic and it's nice to see. The inside is very clean with great decor and packed with people almost every time we go there. It feels cozy and the staff are so attentive and hospitable. It feels as if they know me and my family. The food was great too! I loved the grits! It has the best breakfast in Broken Arrow. My parents came for a visit and my dad loved their liver and onions. We ordered two pies for Thanksgiving and they were amazing! My favorite was the carmel pecan.

    Cute diner, nice staff and awesome pork tenderloin sandwich (like Iowa pork tenderloin)! Recommend!

    One of my favorite places for breakfast. Always fast and easy. I will say the only negative is there are times when it can get really busy but they are normally pretty good about it. Best breakfast and I highly recommend the steak tips.

    "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." Yogi Berra 4.6 star rating with over 1200 reviews on Google is evidence of the restaurants popularity, and the fact that this Saturday morning the parking lot was full. Parking had overflowed in to adjoining businesses. If you are going to eat here on Saturday, go very early or after 10 am. We walked in the at 9:30; the place was packed. A beehive of activity. Fortunately, a group of 8 or more local firefighters were finishing and we got a table. The restaurant is well staffed with a team of friendly cheerful attentive ladies. They worked well together to keep things moving as if rehearsed. Regardless of who your initial waiter was they will all stop by to check on you. The restaurant is small. When crowded like today, a collision involving waitresses with arms loaded with plates, seemed inevitable. Never happened, they flowed smoothly back and forth to the kitchen like a school of fish. Great service. I had selected five of Google's top rated diners in the Tulsa area for this morning's meal. Deciding came down to one thing; which restaurant had the best looking hashbrowns. 50's diner had the winning picture of what diner hash brown should look like. I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the "All American with Meat." Two eggs, bacon, hash browns, a biscuit and gravy. I didn't realize how hungry I was, until the plate was clean. My wife chose the bacon omelet with the seasoned fried potatoes. She loved the meal. Check the pictures. They have a great deal for breakfast during the week. Two eggs, two bacon, hashbrowns, biscuit and gravy for $7.99, served weekdays from 6am to 8am. You can't eat a meal at McDonalds that good, for that price, with service. And, my wife spotted the pie menu! Possibly the best diner in Broken Arrow. When we walked in and saw the packed diner, Yogi Berra's famous saying came to mind.

    It lives up to its sign!

    Very friendly, very delicious breakfast. I had the chili omelette with hashbrowns and a biscuit and gravy. The biscuits were definitely homemade and so light and fluffy they we're almost fragile. The biscuit is split in half and each half is lightly toasted on the exposed side which was a really nice touch. The chili is real chili, meaning Texas and Oklahoma chili does not have beans while Midwest and eastern chili does have beans. This is true Oklahoma-Texas chili over the omelette. It was delicious. The waitress was friendly and could adjust to any topping or variation from the menu. The diner's look and feel made everything comfortable and relaxed. What a wonderful place found by accident. I will return.

The service I receive is always great and has no issues there. I got the prime rib again just to be let down. The outer crust on one side had good flavor, but the other contained an amount of salt that would suffice a salt water aquarium. I ordered the prime rib medium rare. It came out appearing to be close to that but it was tough and had a gray colored center with pink around it. This is due to improper thawing or uneven cooking. Despite that, it literally had the taste of water. I was just disappointed. Although I did not finish it, the waitress did take it off the bill which I was pleased with the service on their end. The other food items that we got were average. Out of all the places to go for a good dinner, this will no longer be on the list in the Broken Arrow for my family.

Dan got the Mathis burger, which is a mixture of sausage and ground beef with jalapeños, fried onions, and cheese. I got the bacon cheese burger, and we ordered home made fries to split. About 15 minutes after we ordered, they told us they were out of homemade fries, so we got curly fries instead. The food wasn't bad but just not wonderful as I expected. The service wasn't bad but we did have to stand at the counter awhile before they could take our order. They told us they were out of homemade fries at least 15 after we placed the order, and they took our order to the wrong table. Shortly after we started eating, we heard someone else order homemade fries. I don't know if they got more homemade fries in that short amount of time or if that man had the same experience we did. The decor was unique. The restaurant is set off from the furniture store with a row of chairs, which customers can sit on if the tables are full. I enjoyed glancing at the furniture and wondering if we might want to do some redecorating. Something we really liked were the prices. Restaurant prices have skyrocketed this year. Not only are the burgers priced right, but they serve breakfast at last year's prices. I'm tired of paying around $15 for bacon, eggs, and toast. Next time we want to go out for breakfast, we are going to try Hardens. I'm bumping the review up from 3 stars to 4 just because of the price. It's a good value.

My wife summed up the meal and wrote the review with one short sentence. As she wadded up her napkin and threw it in the empty burger basket she said, "That was a damn good burger!" My opinion, the burgers and fries at Harden's are as good or better than most offered in Tulsa. Better than many I have had, that were rated as the best in Tulsa. (Excluding charburgers, charburgers are a different animal) We had cheeseburgers and the homemade fries. Big juicy patties flawlessly cooked on the flat top. The fries were perfect. Most restaurants don't prep their potatoes properly for homemade fries. The result, within minutes after serving you end up with a soggy, limp greasy fry. Harden's does it right. The large thick lightly coated fries stay crisp. The crunchy patches of potato skin add flavor to the already excellent potato sticks. The furnishings of the restaurant are immaculate and expansive. The styling is extensive and varied, ranging from contemporary to relaxed modern. Decorative art, colorful floor coverings, attractive lamps and vases complement the furniture. Grab your burger basket and drink, wander around until you find a comfortable couch or recliner. If you like to eat in bed, they are available. Whatever you like, put your feet up kick back and enjoy the meal!!

There is an abundance of wine to choose from. Our server was rushed (and they were packed) and I didn't get a lot of direction on the wine so I just ordered a white sampler and just asked for three dry varieties. The first one I tried (Collan) was not dry in my opinion. The Triple was drier but my favorite was the Fume. I really got hints of pinion in this final one and ordered another 5 oz. of it. We tried the avocado bruschetta to start. It was four big pieces of good bread but was more avocado toast than bruschetta. I would probably go with a different appetizer next time. We both tried the burgers. I went with the mushroom-gouda one. It was over done and not seasoned at all. The gouda was nice and gooey and the mushrooms were seasoned well. Fries were OK. The table next to us had a couple of the flatbreads and I would try those next time. Back to the service. It was OK but our server had a tendency to just show up at our table and just stand. I would come back to try more appetizers and a flight of their red offerings. I also want to know more about the winery. Maybe after the busy holidays.

The hustle and bustle of Friday night dinner plans hadn't started yet and there was plenty of seating. We were seated and there were crumbs on our "clean" table. We were moved and the floor under that table was sticky. Our server, who never introduced themselves, came and took our drink and appetizer order. Our sodas came out flat. The server didn't charge us and replaced them with waters. Our appetizer eventually arrived, the spinach, artichoke dip. The parmesan on top was not melted, we removed it like a sheet of paper. We told our server, who said, "oh yeah, I should've told you that it is better when you take it home and microwave it to really melt the cheese then it's really good". Even if we did enjoy the spinach dip, which we did not, there aren't enough pita chips to eat the entire appetizer. Those would be an additional charge. During the appetizer conversation, I did put my empty water glass to their side of the table to make a refill more simple. They started to walk away without even realizing the nonverbal gesture I made as to not interrupt our conversation. I verbally asked for more water and they forgot about it. I did witness the "ah-ha" moment when they remembered they had forgotten. My wife's grilled salmon had no real flavor, sitting on top of a basic bed of rice. Her tabouli was lacking. I can't forget to mention that when her side salad arrived, the food runner simply asked, "is this yours?" It was slightly off-putting. I never thought about my dining experience being altered by the food runner, but "side salad with ranch" versus "is this yours" is a minor detail that can apparently affect the experience. The server didn't come by as often as I felt they should. They did their verbal checks with the appetizer and the meal, but didn't see them do any walk by checks, until I asked for the bill. My burger was nothing to write home about, but it was good. The fries were undercooked and the thousand island dressing tasted like Kraft dressing. I ate half my burger and my wife ate a small portion of her salmon. We paid 60$ for food we barely touched and we took none of it home. I would rather pay 60$ at Chili's or Texas Roadhouse. We take those leftovers home. I would like to say that I would give Bison another chance, but that won't be the case. Too many mishaps on this visit to make us want to return. My wife was very tempted to talk to the manager, but I was more ready to just pay the check, leave, and take this experience as a sign to never return.

We went on a Thursday afternoon at 4:00, so we didn't expect it to be busy. There were a few people there but not a bunch. We were promptly greeted by the hostess and shown to a booth. Our waitress brought our menus and silverware right behind the hostess. She asked if we knew what we wanted to drink and I ordered Decaf Coffee. My wife deferred to later once she knew what she was going to eat. The coffee arrived a few minutes later and I placed my order for the Belgian Waffle, 2 eggs scrambled, Hash Browns, and 2 Sausage Links. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and a side of biscuits and gravy and regular coffee. First before I forget, I am somewhat of a portly fellow. I carry about 70 pounds more than my doctor likes, and it's all right above my belt. Remember that the hostess put us in a booth, which usually is a challenge for me, because of my extra tire that I carry. But I was pleasantly surprised that this booth was spacious. It had plenty of room for us extra large folks without trying to move the table. The coffee, was good. Remember that I drink decaf coffee, so when I say it was good, thats saying a lot. I even asked the waitress if she had forgotten and brought me regular coffee and she assured me it was decaf. When the food arrived, I was so impressed by how good it looked, I forgot to take a photo, so the attached photo shows what was left when I was full. The waffle was the main thing I was after. I love waffles, and it's hard to find a good waffle. The menu claims they are Belgian Waffles, and I cannot disagree. They tasted like the Belgian Waffles I had in Paris, so I believe they are. The has browns normally don't rate a mention, but these hash browns were soft and not crunchy, and tasted like I expected hash browns to taste, from the first bite to the last. The eggs were scrambled well, which I would have preferred loose, but that's my fault for not specifying. I also ordered link sausage which was cooked as it should be. Next time I'll order bacon. The reason I avoided the bacon is that most places either burn it or leave it partially raw. Based on how the rest of my meal was cooked, I expect the bacon will be cooked right. I'm looking forward to my next visit already.

    Well - we passed the Hooters to get here (I thought they all went out of business but I could see…read morethis one was still doing business) and went to the Silver Skillet on 61st street near the intersection of 61st and Memorial in Tulsa.

The wife did the same. The food was excellent served like an old fashioned diner style setting and I started my breakfast with an appetizer slice of pecan pie. The kids each got a milkshake with hamburger for one and Mac n' cheese for the other. The server was friendly and helpful and her name was Rachel. She did a great job and we enjoyed dining with her as our server!
