Angels Diner is great. Basically the midpoint town between Dallas, TX and Fayetteville, AR. As far as lunch goes, you won't be able to beat it. Great burgers, fried chicken sandwich, fried fish. Lots of non-fried options as well. Service is friendly and attentive. It's a diner, but clean and great desserts if you have room! read more

If you like waiting an hour for your food and then having it served cold while flies are buzzing all around, then this is the place for you. The chicken fried steak sandwich wasn't bad - not worth the wait, however. Won't be back! read more

Super cute place. Such a nice group of people. Waitress understood we were in a rush and how kids can be indecisive. Lots of parking. We'll kept place. read more

Highly recommend this place for brunch. The chicken fried deviled eggs are amazing. There are plenty of different drinks to choose from as well. I'm not a big fan of the ingredients they use in the omelets, so I would order anything but that. Staff is super friendly but slow. read more

Ive been here twice now on while passing through and wow!! The place is incredible, the employees are absolutely fantastic, and the food is so very good. Best place to stop for travelers and I look forward anytime I'm passing through OK :) read more

We live in Texas and stopped at this little gem on our way home and we just kept talking about how much we enjoyed the meal as we drove off! I had the steak finger basket and as a southern girl that loves her chicken fried steak, I have only had these scrumptious little devils rivaled by my mother's fried steak and Buddies steak fingers in Andrews, Texas. I savored every bite dredged in cream gravy coupled with terrific fries and even topped it off with hot blackberry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream! My boyfriend had the Duke of Earl sandwich and raved about it. The bun was buttered and grilled to perfection! Even the tomatoes were "real" tomatoes with flavor rather than pale pink tasteless sandwich fodder. Montana runs the front of the house like a worker bee champion! She flashes her bright smile backed up with genuine friendliness. She makes sure everyone is cared for and happy but does it in a very non-intrusive manner. This was a heck of a stop! Note: I know how to cook and recognize good food and service! If you have read rave reviews before only to find the food to be mediocre, rest assured, that is not the case at Angel's Diner! If you live close by, no doubt you have already found your favorites at Angel's. If not, get hungry and get yourself there soon to ENJOY! read more

Food is good, the service is friendly and the ambience is great. Try their pancake it is delish!

No exaggeration me and a large group are currently waiting for ticket and it's been over an hour. The whole experience has been awful. Longest I've ever had for everything(food, ticket, shake) I get that being over a lot of people is a bit much but at some point it's BS that it takes you that long. I went to pick up my car at Walmart, came back and still didn't have my ticket(30 min) read more

The food was just ok. The service was impeccable. 50's style decor and prices were good.

A true 50s diner atmosphere! Great food and the staff is very friendly. We stopped here while traveling and are so glad we did!

What a fantastic spot. During this time of COVID and the loss of so many jobs and businesses we do our best to support local. During a recent trip to McAlester, we decided to swing in to Angels Diner and are so glad we did!!! Firstly - it's just fun! Set-up as an old school 50's diner. You could almost imagine James Dean leaning against the counter or Marilyn swooping in for a strawberry milkshake! The ambiance promises fun and flair before you even get to your seat! Our server Lucas was FANTASTIC. Our drinks were never empty, he was knowledgeable, super friendly, engaged and went above and beyond in meeting our needs. The food was so darn good. Soul stirring, stomach filling coma inducing food! We had been hiking all day and were starving. My husband ordered the infinity pancakes - a nonstop roll of three pancakes stacked high. They were fluffy, and smothered in butter and warm syrup. I had the Cobb salad - a huge bed of greens with generous portions of chicken, bacon and egg and house ranch that was so flavorful and delicious. My kiddos had onions rings and fried pickles on top of their BLT and chicken friend steak. There wasn't a single thing we would have changed. Ice cold drinks, wonderful service and excellent food. I wish Angel's was closer to Oklahoma City - we would be regulars for sure! As the regular diners came in, the cooks and staff greeted them by name and even if they didn't know you, you received a hearty welcome as you entered. Lucas deserves a hearty helping of kuddos for his care and attention to our family and the others he served. We couldn't have asked for a better ending to our evening. Swing by - you owe it to yourself! I know we will definitely be back. In fact, Angel's is so good, we might make a special trip just to have some lunch! read more

Are you looking for a great local diner with plenty of charm? Then look no further! Angel's is heavenly. I had the smothered chop steak and my partner had the chicken strips. Both were very good. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Very accommodating when it came to diet restrictions. If you are in the area, it's well worth the stop read more

First the staff ..... amazing . They pull together as a team and get it done. So technically u have like 3 waitresses... which is a great thing ... Second the food. .... It was hands down ,... real homemade food. Not like chilis and apple bees ... freezer dried garbage. I'm a super picky eater being a chef myself, and their ck fried steak was like I cooked it myself. ... perfection ... Third the ambience .... I will post some pictures of the welcome sign out front .. but it's old Hollywood royalty themed . Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley . Which makes it even cooler ...all the way down to the restrooms . Standing ovation all the way around. ... if there was one thing I could change ... it would be the entrance sign on the door..... we walked all the way around and met a couple that was fixing to do the same ... read more

Nothing fancy, just a down home, no frills dinner with really good food, eclectic 50's Hollywood decor and an awesome staff! Had the Steak Finger basket (cause the chicken fried steak was the size of my head and I wasn't that hungry) with fries and both gravies. Hot and fresh, gravies were good, one cream one brown. Wait staff were attentive without being overbearing and as sweet as the iced tea! Will be back when I'm hungrier, as the Blue Plate specials looked really good!! read more

Just stopped in for lunch while traveling. Super friendly staff and great food! Also has great music playing, creating a fun vibe! Will definitely be back every time I come through! read more

The food and service was very good. We also enjoyed the atmosphere. Stope and eat here,, you will not regret it.

Good ole country homemade foods. I enjoy breakfast & mimosas not the healthiest place, but an excellent place. The service is always wonderful!! read more

Had to wait so long for COLD food. Terrible service. Even had to wait a long time on the check because of a 20 person party in the back.

Stopped in for breakfast after my work shift while I'm working in town. Ordered a simple breakfast of two eggs, two strips of bacon with homestyle potatoes, and biscuit and gravy. There was a morning rush, so it took about 30min to get my order. But the food was delightful! Eggs were cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy, the potatoes were crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The biscuit was light and fluffy with a nice flaky crust. The gravy was seasoned well and a nice addition to give the rest of the meal a delicious bite. Great meal at a great price! read more

When traveling back and forth to KC, Angel's, I have found to be, is the go-to place for lunch in McAlester. The hamburgers are a solid 1/2 to 3/4 pound of hand breaded ground meat, & there are many different, yet excellent, combinations to dress the burger. Salads, chili, soups, are solid and have been enjoyed. Staff is very friendly and prompt. This place seems to have a local following and therefore it can be crowded on the weekends. All in all, this restaurant has excellent food and is a great place to relax and stretch your legs in the middle of a long trip. read more

Stopped for breakfast. Such a cute 50's decor. The food and service was excellent as well. Very friendly place.

Really disappointing. My sister and I stopped coming home from our Arkansas trip and we were better off eating food from a gas station. Only the front half of the diner is "50's" themed. All the decor looks like it's from Hobby Lobby or Amazon. Staff sat us in a back room that had NOTHING to do with the 50's theme just some tables and chairs with a picture of James Dean in the back. Wow, so impressive. I ordered French Toast and it was horribly burnt, also was served Hungry Jack syrup!??! My sisters pancakes were awful and tasted like they were at the very bottom of the freezer!! Honestly just keep driving and stop at McDonald's or something. Whoever keeps putting 4 or 5 stars, have absolutely no taste or are used to having the generic salt and pepper or unseasoned style food. read more

Waited 4 hours (no exaggeration) for food during the lunch rush. Food was alright. Place is a little grungy but designed as a typical 50s diner. Just wish the lunch I ordered at lunch time didn't arrive at dinner time. read more

Small, quaint, old style diner. Local flare and flavors. The waitress was a local and sweet as could be. Got everything we needed, and with a smile. I had the Angels Chili and a Patty Melt. Both were very good. I liked that when the cili came, she asked me which hot sauce I wanted and listed off at least three. They happened to have one of my favs so that was cool. If I had to fault something, I'd say the service was a bit slow. I noticed a couple of tables that had what were certainly "regular" customers came in after us and received their food before us. Wasn't in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal, but I did notice. I'd go back if I'm ever back in this area. read more

Cutest diner within 10 miles! Their staff is fantastic-quick and friendly. Food is pretty good and the variety is great! The decor takes you back to record-toting jukebox times. Definitely recommend! read more

Fantastic food and over-the-top-amazing and friendly customer service. Three hungry kids and a tired mom on a road trip left full and happy. read more

We stopped here on our way back to Texas and was intrigued by the 50's theme. The diner was very busy but we were warmly greeted by several of the staff. The diner is very cute with 50's themed decor and even an old jukebox. The menu was extensive with all the comfort food you expect from a diner. We had fried mushrooms as appetizer, chicken chunks, and chicken fried steak dinner, all of which were hand breaded and absolutely delicious. The servings are large with plenty left over to take home. The service was outstanding and we left vowing to stop again on our next trip through here. You can't go wrong with this choice! read more

SIMPLY AMAZING!! came to town for a wedding and was able to sit and visit and eat! The French toast was awesome as well as everything else ordered. The atmosphere was fun and inviting and the staff super friendly and FUN!!! Definitely recommend Thank you for a great experience will definitely return when traveling through read more

Best one I've ever had! You must experience this place! Great atmosphere, and great people which EQUALS GREAT FOOD AND A great time! read more

One hour and ten minutes... that's how long it took to get our food. We had nine people and I bet they served 15-20 before we got ours. The table across from us had 4 people and they got there and ordered 15 minutes after us and they were done eating and left 15 minutes before we got our food. We had to takeout food to go. And no it was definitely not a busy time. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

If you like down home cooking I think you'll enjoy this place. My wife and I are new to the area and decided to try Angel's Diner, food was good, service was good. Left full and satisfied. read more

Great place. Great atmosphere. And even better service. Can't say much more than that. Oh yeah. The food was amazing as well. If you in or going through McAlester, stop in and give it a try. read more

Atmosphere! Very cool stop with lots of photo opportunities. Breakfast available all day. I'd also have to say this is definitely one of my top two burger joints in town! read more

Rarely do we eat two meals at the same restaurant while traveling, but dinner was so delicious, we couldn't wait for breakfast! I love Ruben Sandwiches and theirs hit it out of the park! Usually half is enough, but I gobbled down the whole thing smackin' my lips after every bite! Hubby had the sirloin with mushrooms, onions and gravy... was outstanding! Green beans, too, we're perfectly cooked. We both enjoyed an Arnold Palmer! Best we've had on the road! Did I say breakfast? Plate-sized perfect pancakes, spot on cheese & bacon omelette. It came with big flaky biscuits & gravy that was mouth-watering just smelling them! Best coffee to wake up to! read more

My boyfriend and I went here one day and it was really good. I'd say that the seating is a bit weird, but everything was really great there. We got seated quickly and got our orders done at a good pace. The menu had good options and the names were really fun. I love the 60s more retro vibe of this place. They had good music playing throughout and it had a pretty comfortable atmosphere. We both got burgers, we ordered some wings, and fried pickles. The burger, to me, was massive. It's very filling. It tasted really good. The one we got had thick cut bacon on it which was a bit hard to chew. The other thing was the fried pickles were spears so a pickle cut into 4ths which I personally didn't like. The wings tasted alright they weren't anything really special. They had basic buffalo sauce on them which was good, but nothing to go crazy over. Regardless, the food was really good and I do recommend going here though. read more

The decor seemed to be done by someone who wanted to get a 50's vibe going, but just managed to scrounge up a yard sale full of some generic and tacky Elvis Presley & Marilyn Monroe decorations. The building was a little run down and musty. It felt more like Breaking Bad than Happy Days My server was prompt, but weirdly timid. Not like he was shy, but more like he was genuinely afraid of me. Kinda weird. Food and drinks came out within a reasonable time. The Coke I ordered was a little flat. The meatloaf meal was underwhelming. The meatloaf itself tasted like it was out of a package and had been heated in the microwave. The gravy was room temperature at best. The portion sizes were childlike. Two of those meals would have constituted on normal meal. The staff was friendly-ish. I was greeted when I walked in the door. I hadn't even finished my meal before I was given my check. There was no inquiry about whether or not I wanted dessert. Verdict: if you are literally starving to death and there is no other place open and the highway is devoid of roadkill, this place will do okay. Otherwise just go somewhere else. read more

We always stop here on our way through Oklahoma. Old fashioned diner with great hot food and friendly staff.

I got the patty melt ($7.99) and it was SO GOOD! It comes with fries and it's so yummy! I will want to come back! Although the waitress double charged me for my drink, but I didn't correct so it's my fault lol. read more

Five out of Five dining experience at this gem! I was in wonderment from the first moment I arrived. I found this place of course on Yelp, and saw from some pics that it was styled as a 50's diner, but let me just say the pics don't do it justice! If you are a Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, James Dean, Lucy etc. Fan you will absolutely adore this place! The decor is absolutely amazing! Some restaurants like this, don't get me wrong are chalked way to full of memorabilia, which is great but sometimes can make the place look a little too crammed. This was not the case at Angel's! So amazing! The food was great! We ordered their fried green tomatoes to start with. I highly recommend them! Mmm mmm! For my main course I wanted to try what they are famous for, their bbq. It was absolutely so juicy and the onion rings that came with it were so crunchy and delicious! It also came with a side of green beans that had bacon in them. Very flavorful! Our waitress, although her name slips my mind, was very upbeat and provided us with exceptional service! Really, from the first moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming! If we are ever in the McAlester area again, we will definitely be back! PS There is an adorable hotel behind the restaurant called Happy Days and also a Bowling Alley. All are family owned!

---------- Impression The server we got was not very nice nor was she at all moving at a speed one might expect at a diner, especially one fifties themed. The atmosphere was nice, no screaming brats. The cooks were more warm and welcoming than our server. Who has yet to say her name or show a name tag. There were 2 servers, Mary and someone else. The someone else is whom we had. Mary seemed quite nice and was always running around taking care of her tables. Mary is the one that came out and told us there was a problem in the kitchen, not our server who has yet to reappear. ---------- The food The hand breaded chicken fried steak was cooked and prepared very well. The mashed potatoes were nice and fluffy and were perfectly complemented by a mild white creamy gravy. ---------- Conclusion The only way I learned the name of this not very nice woman here is on the receipt. Misty. So, the food is quite good. The server we had sucked! read more
