    I came to the Apple Barrel Cafe on Mingo some time ago and made it back in today for lunch. I have had breakfast there a few times and it was always great. I wasn't familiar though with the lunch or dinner. Well, I've been missing out. I tried the Apple Barrel Tower, which is a consortium of treats to activate the pallet! Onion rings, jalapeño poppers, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and fried mushrooms!! What a way to start!! It's served with marinara sauce which is fine but I prefer ranch with this sort of thing. It was a LOT and I couldn't eat it all, even with help from my kiddo! I still had an entree coming!! I'm a CFS snob and refuse to order one if I even think it comes from a box. This is Oklahoma after all and a staple of ours!! The chicken fried steak here is hand breaded and NOT overflowing with 4" of extra crispy stuff to make it look bigger than what it is. We had JNCOs for that in the 90s, I don't need a culinary version of that on my CFS!!! The meat was tender, breading crispy and the gravy really brought it all home! I opted for Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes which were also yummy, smooth and even better with the gravy. I tried one bite of all three on my fork at the same time and it was good, but I preferred them enjoyed separately. No complaints from me here! Oh! I forgot to mention this also came with a side salad, and yes, like the thick blooded Okie I've become, I also had it with ranch. The salad was good and tasty, but didn't wow me. That's okay to, it's a side salad, not really meant to be the star of the show. The kiddo, at lunch time opted for a single chocolate chip pancake. Normally I'd protest that but it's summer break and she only asked for one, no sides, because she knew we'd share the appetizer tower. I can live with that I suppose!! Also to note, I got great service. I caught the name of my server, but me being miserable at remembering names, I forgot. She did a great job though and that makes for a good dining experience.

    Apple Barrel Restaurant Review We've now visited Apple Barrel twice, and both experiences have been excellent--this spot has officially made it onto our list of favorite places to eat! On this visit, we ordered: Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich - $12.99 Philly Cheese Chicken Sandwich - $12.99 Sunshine Cheeseburger - $13.99 Spinach & Mushroom Omelette - $11.99 And for dessert, the Strawberry Crepes - $9.99 (highly recommended!) Every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and served with a smile. The presentation was clean and inviting, and the portions were just right. The brewed iced tea was also perfectly made--refreshing and not overly sweet. What truly set this experience apart was the service. Our server, Shanon, was honest, kind, and incredibly attentive. We also noticed what we believe was the owner or the owner's son walking around, checking on tables and helping serve--making sure everyone was having a good experience. That personal touch goes a long way! The only small downside we noticed is that they only offer Pepsi soda products. We don't drink Pepsi and usually prefer Coke products when we do have soda. However, this doesn't change our opinion or experience one bit--this place is still absolutely wonderful. You can feel the positive energy in the restaurant; all the staff work together and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. The place has a calm, peaceful vibe--great for families or anyone just wanting a relaxed meal. Overall: 5+ stars. Thank you, Apple Barrel team, for the great food and even better service. We'll definitely be back with the whole family!

    After a long day of work, nothing beats some comfort food. As a general rule of thumb, comfort food is my type of food. Apple Barrel Cafe is right next to KseroGrill which is where I wanted to go initially but decided to give Apple Barrel Cafe a chance. The entree at Apple Barrel Cafe comes with a salad, soup, or Mac &cheese, a choice of 2 dinner sides, and a dinner roll. I got the chicken noodle soup which was good, taste similar to Campbell's. When the waitress brought out the chicken fried chicken with broccoli and cheese and mashed potato and gravy, she asked if I want a dinner roll. Strange...I thought it comes with the entree. Either way, I did not get it. Here's the thing with the chicken fried chicken, it's really decent. When you cut into it, the batter falls off the chicken breast. So you eat either the batter or the chicken breast. All the seasoning is in the batter making it salty and chicken breast by itself tastes like steamed or boiled chicken. Service is great apart from the not bringing the dinner roll with the entree. That's okay because I am too full for a dinner roll anyway. The restaurant is a lovely little place that has both indoor and outdoor seatings. It has a southern vibe which is always welcoming.

    Tried the salmon tonight and absolutely delicious my go here now is either western omelette and salmon filet it's just so delicious with big lemon slice. Hubby loved his cod filets as always , tonight the vegetable soup smelled and looked so good! Always friendly staff too and immediate service.

    We had heard a lot of good comments about this place so we wanted to give it a try. It was Saturday at 12:30, so they were fairly busy. But they seated us fast and took our order. Food arrived quickly and was delicious!! Will go back and try other things. Yum!!

    Sometimes you just gotta have comfort food. The Apple Barrel has it. My comfort food of choice is chicken fried chicken. That's what I got and it satisfied the craving. My plate contained a huge but thin slice of chicken with a thick crispy batter covered with white gravy. It barely left room on the plate for the mashed potatoes. Dan wasn't as hungry. He opted for a burger from the small meal menu. I love that they have section . We often split meals because we can't eat all of a regular meal and most places don't allow seniors to order from the children's menu. I hate left overs. Doesn't everyone? It never tastes as good reheated. The Apple Barrel has a solution for that. I was impressed by their diverse menu. You can get breakfast all day. There's some tempting things on the breakfast menu, including crepes. Monday through Friday, there's a short list of meals you can get for $16.99. Fiona was our server and gave us friendly service. You can even buy a whole pie to take home. It's been a long time since I've seen that. If you want comfort food, breakfast in the afternoon, a small meal, or a delicious homemade dessert, Apple Barrel is your place.

    61st & Mingo location. Party of six this morning at 9AM. Several large parties came in also and the staff accommodated all parties like a well oiled machine. I had a very good Spicy Chorizo Omelette, hash-browns with grilled onions and biscuits & gravy. Waters and coffees were refilled often with frequent check-backs. My bride really loves their strawberry crepes with cream cheese filling. We all left full and happy.

    Do you ever think, "I want a really good home-cooked meal but don't want to cook it"? Apple Barrel at 61st & Mingo is the place I go. We ordered breakfast & was happy to learn they serve it "ALL" day. I ordered the French Toast breakfast with egg whites & turkey bacon... every thing was great & low calorie. I don't know how you make egg whites good, but they were. My fruit bowl was fresh! My son ordered the Apple Farmers Combo & loved it all, especially the pancakes. He said they're the best he's ever had. It's clean, very friendly servers & a large TV on the wall. We will definitely be going back. NOTE* Rhonda & Samantha were our servers & we wanted for nothing. Our coffee was refilled before it got to the bottom every time. Very impressed with it all! Yum!

    Pecan banana pancakes

    We love cafes and diners. At Apple Barrel we felt really welcome; our , waitress Rachel was really sweet and friendly. My wife had the Pecan banana pancakes and did they were really good no had a couple of bites and she was right, they were delicious. I had the Eggs Benedict and home fries. Good but not spectacular. I am more in to Mexican type food such as huevos rancheros, which they do not have. They do have a breakfast burrito and southwest omelette. They hdo have a pretty good menu to choose from. The css as fe was spacious and very clean and beat. I would definitely recommend Apple Barrel Csfe.

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.

    Now who would have thought, that you could get a good hamburger and fries inside of the Mattress…read moreBrothers furniture store. 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!!

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.

We celebrated the patriarch's 91st birthday Sunday night. I knew from a prior birthday celebration we had there, that they don't take reservations. That means that if you have quite a few people in your party, you just have to take your chances that they can accommodate you! They do have a call ahead wait list, however it will only accept 6 people. If you have over that mark, you had better go elsewhere. It was a Sunday night, and we were meeting there, so I arrived early to register our party. Since I could not make a reservation, or get on a wait list, I was told that it would be an hour wait! I was hoping that maybe the estimated time would be shorter. It was not! We watched people come, eat, and go for two hours! When asked about the wait we always got the reply, we're waiting for the people to leave! What kind of an answer is that? With all the people that they seated during the TWO HOUR WAIT, they could have taken us. I guess that I should mention that this was the second time this has happened to us with a birthday celebration! It most surely will be our last! Unless, and until, they institute a policy of taking reservations (I would have been willing to give a credit card to hold one), or opening up their wait list, we won't be going to Cheddar's for another birthday!!
