The original plan was to have breakfast at "I Smell Bacon," a rustic little greasy spoon, located…read moreright at the Highway 9 exit on US 69. But that didn't work out. The parking lot was packed with cars. A long line of customers were outside, waiting for their turn at the trough. Plan "B." On south to LAKe Country Diner. Turn left on Highway 9 when the traffic clears. Traffic? on Highway 9? Yes, this is Saturday morning. Highway 9 is lined with miles and miles of road side flea markets, junk sales, garage sales, yard sales, and there is always a stationary exercise bike to be found. Some folks just pull off the side of the road and try to sell whatever the hell is in the back of their truck; like pit bull mix puppies, kittens and suspicious looking power tools of untraceable origin (if you know what I mean). Customers were swarming. Parked bumper to bumper in the ditches and shoulder of the road. Pulling out, pulling in. In every direction..... The parking lot at LAKe Country diner was also crowded with cars. Park on the grass. Surprised; the inside of the diner is roomy. Even with the crowd there were plenty of tables and booths available. Seat yourself. The waitresses were having to hustle. Eventually we had coffee and menus. They have an excellent breakfast buffet. Me, sticking with the usual cooked to order. (Check the pictures and video.) I expected a long wait. The meal was on the table in minutes. Prepared exactly as ordered. Good food, good service and they can handle a large volume of customers. Tip: Don't go looking for breakfast on Saturday mornings during flea market season! Oh, and finally the winner of today's best diner table top advertising "Milty the Septic Guy." Milty, for some reason seems like an appropriate nickname for a person in this business. Here is the important part, take note of the PD after his name. That really means something. It means he is licensed to handle crap under pressure! Don't believe that...Google it.

It was $12/person and was so good! I'll be back!

"Man, that looks good!" She replied with, "it is, and highly recommended!". I had already locked in on a Club sandwich. That was my order with rings. I asked if they were made in the diner. The very nice lady serving us replied with "no" but they are beer battered and are very good. Ok, I'll give 'em a try. My wife went with the Southwest salad, with chicken. A special for today. In a few minutes, out came two loaded plates. A giant platter of salad loaded with chicken and my perfect club sandwich with rings. Check the pictures. The salad was fresh and piled high with chicken, The club sandwich was thick and packed with meats, very good. I had my heart set on house made onion rings. The factory-made rings were good, but no substitution for freshly made. Choose the fried okra. Oh, and you may wonder how I know about how good the fried catfish is, even though I didn't even order it. When my wife got up to use the restroom, the lady in the booth behind us broke off a big chunk of her catfish and turned around. "Here try this." I wasn't going to turn down that polite offer. Glad I tried it. It is good. Be there on Fridays. Big plates of food and excellent sides. Friendly fast service. A cozy, clean small town diner!

But a Google search from my copilot scored this fabulous find! I was prepared for chicken. That's the name of the place so my stomach is thinking maybe a sandwich because, well, I'm driving. But this place is a wonderful little gem with a much larger menu. Ribs, chicken fried steak, chicken, chopped beef, wow, just such a selection! The fat kid in me was so happy (also the fat man which is more accurate). Copilot had the chicken fried steak with mashed taters, white gravy, and green beans. I ordered up the chopped beef sandwich on Texas toast with potato wedges. I'll add here that we also picked up one of the largest peanut butter cookies I've seen. Think BJ's Pizookie, huge cookie! The food was stupendous and we have saved the cookie because we were just too full. If you are ever in Checotah, this is a must stop. ¡Buen provecho!

It is not possible to find better BBQ than Rustlers. This is the hill I'm willing to die upon…read more Had a platter of pretty much every smoked meat there was in the place, plus two sides. Brisket Pulled Pork Smoked Turkey Pork Ribs Hot Links and finally... Smoked Baloney. Potato Salad, White Mac and Cheese, Texas Toast, Pickle and Onion. Everything was smoked perfectly - even the baloney, which surprised both of us eating there - and absolutely tender. The meats aren't dripping in sauce which is often used to moisten a bad cook or to disguise poor flavors. Nope. If you want a saucy meal, it's a "self-inflicted wound" in my books, because you're missing out on some great well cooked meat. We didn't go there for side options, so reviewing them isn't the point. I did not see either a Corn Bread or a Biscuit choice which I would have chosen, but took the usual's just to see how they're done at Rustlers. I'm not a banana for dessert fan, that is, until my dinner guest forced me to have some of Rustlers Banana Pudding. I am now a rabid fan of banana's for dessert. Yes, it's that good. Don't keep whistling down the highway at 80+MPH trying to get somewhere faster than you should. Slow down, stop in, and get some well made BBQ. Sure, you're going to have the "meat sweats" once you've had your fill, but it's all well worth it in the end.
