While we were on a 5 hour road trip, we got very hungry. We were in the middle of nowhere and was just thinking about stopping at a burger joint, but then saw this diner pop up! The aesthetic was very appealing. I honestly wasn't expecting much because I'm not the biggest fan of American food, but this diner proved me wrong and impressed me! We started off with Fried Pickles and it was amazing. The batter and seasoning were great, pickles were a little bit soggy which my friend wished it was more fresh so it could be crunchy, but I enjoyed it. For main dishes, we ordered a Catfish Basket with a side of Fried Okra and Sliced Tomatoes as well as The Ribeye (we added additional ounces-$3/each additional ounce-to make it 16 oz) with a side of Jalapeño Bacon and Fried Okra. Overall, the food from start to finish was all amazing! Food, service, and ambiance were all good. Loved the interior design and aesthetic of this place too! Definitely glad we found this gem. 100% recommend! read more

App - Zucchini Rings. Fried Fresh served frickin hot! Burn your mouth they were so hot. Darn good too! Would be even better with a sprinkling if parm. Burger Night - Going #5 as a Double Chubby Checker! With Fries too. Wow! This is one juicy burger with good seasonings, fresh veg and plenty of juiciness. Fries are ok but that burger is a monster as a double. Take warning. Plenty of desserts to choose from if you have the room to eat it. Service is fast, tables are clean, beer is cold. Love it here! read more

I love stopping by Angel's on the way to visit family. I'm a big fan of their chicken fried steak sandwich and their pies. The make everything in house. My sandwich and fries were steaming hot and made to order. The pies were in a counter after being made in store. Their wait staff makes you feel right at home, and the pink design is fun, including the car out front. read more

The cups have seen better days and really should not be used the Gravy was tasty but thing great flavor the home fries tasted like they were deep fried no alternative to creamer nor do they offer milk when you step in it felt like they wanted us to be hid away in the back . The over cost was decent Staff were friendly read more

Good food, you got to try the pie. The service is good but may very depending the number of patrons they have at the time.

Food Food was excellent the Chicken Steak was crispy and moist in the inside. Mash potatos was okay, and the green beans weren't fresh, canned type. Overall is good. Service The servers were pleasant, professional, attentive, and that great southern hospitality. Love it! Ambiance Great place, 1950s songs in the background. Small little place and clean. I would recommend anyone to dine in. They do breakfast as well. read more

A real small town diner vibe here. The fried squash rounds were delicious; hot, but delicious. The Patsy Clne burger was the perfect size and really good. The only thing lacking was the service. Servers were friendly but not attentive. Had three different servers assist me as they would disappear into other dining areas and not return. read more

Great service and food. Recommend and have returned a few times. Waitress very attentive.

This place is awesome Saturday brunch is out of this world Manmosa are highly recommend the food is always on point and the owner Angel was on the grill killing it great place to eat read more

Food was good home cooking - hamburgers, homemade chili, chicken fried steak or chicken, breakfast all day. I ordered the chili with cornbread. Tasty with cornbread muffin (cake cornbread!) with cheese , onions and jalapeños on top. Husband had a burger with avocado and bacon with fries . Yum!! The folks at Angel's Diner are friendly , attentive. and hates working! I felt welcomed and appreciated as a guest in their home. Ambience is kitschy but in a fun way. Pictures of Frank Sinatra , Elvis Presley , Marilyn Monroe among other icons are hung throughout the diner If I am in the McAlester , OK area. I will make a bee line to Angel's Diner for another great meal! Thanks! read more

The food, the drinks, the staff= amazing! It's like having a small town "Cheers" in our own backyard- "where everybody knows your name!"

Ordered Pulled Pork, they were out, that happens, but could let a customer know. Out of several menu items. The mashed potatoes were cold and hard, needed help. The service was fair, didn't ask about the potatoes. The rolls were handled poorly. Went to pay, person at register asked me if I needed change. The ticket was $27.48, I paid $ 40.00 cash, of course I need change. Brought back change, no 52 cents. They close at 9 according to sign, pre closing happens, but it seemed like there focus was closing. We arrived at 6:45 pm. The waitress never offered drink refills.The counter is cluttered, not very professional. read more

Just passing through and stopped for lunch. Chicken fry, catfish, pancakes, French toast, chicken fingers, onion rings and a piece of coconut cream pie will run you $59 and well worth it! There were 2 large groups already seated so our party of 6 sat in a 4 seater booth and a 2 seater table. The onion rings were thin, crispy and came with great tasting ranch, chicken fry was 2 decently sized pieces, roll & mashed potatoes (meh) with uniquely flavored pinto beans, catfish was great, kids enjoyed theirs. We would very much stop here again. However, it took us a full 45 mins on a Monday at 12:30. read more

Good food. Helpful waitress. Interesting decore. I had steak fingers. He had Reuben.

This diner is so fun with great food and an amazingly friendly staff! We will be coming back!

It was buisy, but again they did not fail! I ordered the fried green beans as an appetizer this time and not only did they look good, but they tasted great! good flavor, right out of the fryer hot! And they were too much for one person to eat, even one as big as me. Thank you, Angel's, for the good food and good service. I am New to the area, and swung in for a quick lunch, and fell in love with the place. Right through the door i was greeted with a friendly waitress and showed to my table. it was packed, only about 2 tables free including the one she set me at. she apologized that they were short staffed, but that didn't affect anything. When i am alone, i tend to people watch, and no ones drinks ever set empty! That says something. My Jalapeno burger and fries came out fast and they were Hot and delish. The burger cooked spot on, with just the right amount of juice in it. The Jalapeno wasn't spicy but had really good flavor to it. The staff was just sweet, fast, and knowledgeable. read more

I was told about this diner by several people so I was looking forward to visiting. Getting into the place with the screwball service roads and construction was an issue but was quickly resolved. Parking was just fine. The interior is pure diner and it was comforting. I was seated quickly and my waitress could not have been nicer along with offering some recommendations for this first timer. My chicken fried steak dinner was good, the sides (mashed potatoes and pinto beans) were just ok, but my pie was just great...almost worth the trip on its own. For the price this was a good deal, throw in good service and unique setting so I'd say give them a try. read more

I was Travelling for a meeting in McAlester OK. Our group decided to meet for lunch prior to the meeting. We sat on the patio as a group and had our lunch. The patio was great and the view of antique autos was great. The service was good considering the crowd we had of about 14 folks. I ordered a Philly cheese steak burger and fries. Both were delivered hot and prepared to taste. The cost was surprisingly lower than expected when eating out while on the road. Highly recommend the restaurant and we will be back when in the area. read more

We stopped into this cute little diner and were so amazed at it all. The employees were sweet as can be and the atmosphere and decor was really groovy. The food. OMG! It was amazing! The chicken was juicy and delicious. The burgers were incredible and best was the prices! We will be back for sure! You can't go wrong with this precious diner! read more

I have passed this diner for years and thought many times that I would like to stop. The curb appeal is old school 50's diner. Today me and my son stopped to have breakfast! We are so glad we did! Excellent place in every way! Great ambiance!, great service!, great food!, super clean! Nothing negative about this place. It is a must stop! Anytime I'm traveling past I will most certainly be stopping to eat! Excellent coffee! Restroom were super clean! read more

Hello, I was told by some people to go here as I'm from out of town for work. I love a good diner in a small town so let's try it. I saw the menu and everything looked yummy and I was interested in the appetizers. They candy steak bites were pretty decent and had a fun sauce. Also, my server was lovely but I forgot her name. This was 8/4/25 around 3:00pm. I decided on the basically Salisbury steak option. I noticed it said the green beans were fresh which that sounded like they might be crunchy green beans. Tbh I don't like crunchy green beans but I wanted to try them. After I ordered I noticed the large cans of green beans behind the counter by the grill. Honestly, we prob all prefer canned green beans, but saying they're fresh is a blatant lie. My food comes and my Salisbury steak is basically one of their hamburger patties with warm store bought brown gravy laid on top. The onions an peppers were cooked fine. The dang steak wasn't even cooked in the gravy.... I think we need to stop cutting corners and get back to good diner food with soul. I can tell it used to be that way, let's get back. read more

Food was hot and fresh. Great service and lunch was a great deal. Would highly recommend. We will be back!

found on yelp while traveling back to texas. cute spot that is a lot bigger than it looks. classic 50's diner style as you enter. we were seated further back in the "pub" area with a bar & TV's with MNF on. arrived about 7PM on a monday, only a few diners, but it did take a longish time for the waitress to come back and take our order. long enough for us to consider hunting her down. they have daily blue plate specials and thats what we opted for. hubbie got CF chicken sammie with fried while i got the dinner with green beans, mashed potatoes and a roll. both were under $10. we also ordered fried green tomatoes to start. food came out pretty quick, but app did arrive before the food - when it should come! tomatoes were fresh & hot and cornmeal crust was good. both meals were good although my green beans were cold and potatoes were lukewarm. must have been plated first while waiting for the chicken to be done because it was fresh and hot, breading was crispy. service after initial wait to order was good. food & prices were good. read more

I am shocked by all of the positive reviews! After driving past Angel's for years, my boyfriend and I stopped here for dinner on a recent trip to Texas. We had high hopes due to the restaurant's proximity to the stock yards, but his steak was inedible. My chicken fried steak consisted of two deep fried burger patties. It was edible, but it was not a chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes come from powder and the green beans are straight from a can. The restaurant was close to empty when we arrived, but the hostess walked us past all the empty booths to an addition in the back. This room was echoey, dark, and sparsely decorated in comparison to the rest of the restaurant. Our server begrudgingly agreed to let us move to a booth in the front room. Most people ordered strong drinks, which I imagine would improve the experience. read more

I had the French toast and bacon and it was delicious. The bacon was perfect, crunchy and chewy. The coffee was amazing. I've had breakfast and lunch and was very happy both times. The staff is friendly and helpful. The decor is Amazing!!! Now it's time for dinner In the new steakhouse. read more

Such a cute spot! Stopped here on our trip back to TX. Everyone was so very friendly! They have a full bar and the bloody marys were great. Breakfast served all day. Breakfast was good but we also tried the fried green tomatoes with homemade ranch and it was excellent! Would definitly recommend this place! read more

Angel's Diner - Fried green tomatoes and ranch - Diners Near Me - McAlester, Oklahoma

Food was good, no drink refill offered, the total ended in.62, no change offered. Needs some cleaning.

Traveling from DFW to Illinois made a lunch stop with our two small pups. So glad there was outdoor patio so that we could try out this 50's diner! Service was great and the food was really good and big portions. While sipping on a Chardonnay and an IPA we spit a basket of fried pickles! Happy surprise they were spears! Super crunchy coating served with house made ranch! Delicious! I had the Marilyn Salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was tender and lots of flavor. If you like more chicken than greens the this is your salad. My BF had the #3 burger - Bernie's Cannonball BBQ Burger that was thick and perfectly cooked medium and juicy. We were so happy that the weather was cooler but the flies swarmed in when we got our food. I think if the fans were on would have helped. All in all, good food, good service and Pet Friendly! read more

My friends and I stopped here on the way back from Canton, Texas. This place is so cute! I love all of the decor from the '50s and the two awesome Cadillacs out front. When I started looking at the menu there were so many choices I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to have to take some back home in the car so I asked if I could order from the kids menu. They told me I could. I asked the waitress what her recommendation was and she said the chicken fingers were pretty good. So I ordered the kids chicken fingers and fries and it was the perfect amount and pretty tasty. Our waitress was great and we really enjoyed our meal! read more

Tried out Angel's Diner as recommended by our hotel personnel. Sweet little place. Great service (thank you Brin), good food and cute atmosphere. I had the steak finger salad (with a few extras added like egg, avocado, bacon) and it was enough for two. LOTS OF PIECES OF TENDER STEAK FINGERS! My husband had the Duke of Earl sandwich, which he said was tender as well. The fried pickle fingers were not Salty at all. They came like 8 to our serving. There is an outside area as well if you smoke. I believe she said that they are even adding a Pizza oven soon. Anyway, do not hesitate to stop here if you are in the area. I Believe you will enjoy it as we did. Oh I forgot to mention, the pies look amazing and homemade! read more

A great spot to eat. The atmosphere was amazing and the food excellent. The service was great. I will return again

Slow service, very slow, they weren't that busy, the don't have enough help i guess. Literally bn here 50 minutes and no food. But the people ordering shots outside got lots of attention. We quit coming here 2 years ago because of the slow service and it will be probably another 2 before we come back, if ever. read more

I loved this place service was great, food was really good when you're wanting a little home cooking or a great chef salad, the ambiance is a little overwhelming with décor but its meant to be a 50's diner so I get it. The only draw back is its not open on Sunday's I would love to eat here on Sundays and not be stuck with just Mexican food every Sunday. read more
