Ambiance: None.. unless you are a local... Or Ive never used it before.. "Not Brown"... because the only smiling faces and were waited on weren't like us. We left a $10 to pay for our 1 cup of coffee each and left... no sorry let me check on your order.. just ok read more

A long-term tradition in Atoka. Service was great!! Hand prepped ONION RINGS are a requirement no matter what you order!!! The best I've ever had. The old fashioned CHEESEBURGER was top 10 ever. Great place to stop if you are in the area. read more

This place was so good! We were looking for a place to have an Easter lunch on our way back to Texas and this place did not disappoint! The waitresses were friendly and the environment had an old school feel that was nice, I'm glad it wasn't updated to be modern like everything else! It was a really nice experience! read more

I ordered the catfish with onion rings and coleslaw. Started with the onion rings, and those things were awesome. Love the batter. The coleslaw wasn't dry and the flavor was decent. The catfish is where the 1 star was lost. The flavor wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. The main problem is that the skin was chewy, like it had been in the microwave or something. Also, it was a to-go order, and there wasn't any silverware in the bag. The food was good enough that I'd try them again. read more

Saw this places heading up to the lake on Friday, knowing I had to pass it to go home on Sunday. Told the wife we are going to try that for lunch on the way home. When we pulled in there were maybe 3 cars in the parking lot at 11:45 am on a Sunday 1st of Aug. Didn't stop us, we wanted to see why so many on Google gave it 4 stars and Yelp 3.5....we get inside and see this big old Slad bar, country counter and to the left the kitchen window. Tables all around and a couple waitresses who yelled " seat yourself!". We did at a booth up front. The menu was fairly big for a small town diner, but contained all your expectations except no meatloaf. The wife decided on the Sunday special. It's not every Sunday but it was this particular day. I went with a diner staple of Bacon cheese with their onion rings since that got the most attention in all of the reviews. I guess they made extra of the specials as those were ready in 3 minutes from the time of order versus my burger that was handmade and prepared. I sampled the wife's and it was all really good, literally like grandma used to make. My burger was exactly as I had hoped, toasted bun, Chopped onions, folded lettuce and crisp bacon. The onion rings were so light and amazing...have to get these!!. Now I want to stop every time we go through Atoka it was that good. And to listen to the locals talk is like getting a show for free. If you pass through, please stop the food was awesome. So were the people!! read more

I love going to Bledsoes diner. Foods always good. I just wish they would go back to the buffet menu even if just one day a week.

Small town diner with big charm appeal for driving through on a road trip. Service was quick and friendly. Food was exactly what you expect from small town greasy spoon restaurant. I had that grilled turkey and cheese sandwich which was tasty. My friends had the cheeseburgers, and were rated high among other restaurants in their experience. The onion rings were a must have shared among the table. Ketchup not needed! The locals were excited to see us! read more

The wait was a hour and the waiters Had disagreed and it created tension throughout the whole place.

Good little greasy spoon in a small town. Staff was great. I had breakfast there. Table full of old guys solving the world problems that exists in all the good diners was there. Definitely will go back. read more

The breakfast menu prices have increased since the menu photo was taken. My two-egg, bacon, hash browns and toast cost $6.70 before sales tax. The bacon was dried out--like it was about two days old. See the photo of my hash "browns." No crispy brown potatoes here. The wait staff person was congenial (and apologetic about the long wait to have food prepared, the cost, and the steamed potatoes). I stopped here for breakfast on a 4-hour road trip. I'll stop for coffee and fast food before I ever stop here again when driving through Atoka. read more

Bledsoe's Diner - Dried out bacon and steamed potatoes. - American Near Me - Atoka, Oklahoma

Great food and fair price. Ordered to go and staff very friendly and helpful. Best breakfast spot in Atoka!

Super nice people. Good chili. Reminds me of my parents home. Definitely worth stopping if you are hungry and don't want chain food

I eat here when I drive up to northern Arkansas from Texas. Occasionally the service can get a little backed up, but no one is standing around being lazy or anything. The food has always come out fresh and very tasty. Staff has always been friendly. Regarding COVID, they've taken measures for social distancing like closing down the salad bar, closing off tables, and the staff were mostly wearing masks correctly. I wouldn't say the patrons exactly care, though, so if you are immunocompromised, just be aware this might not be your place. I'll keep coming back, especially for the fried catfish. read more

Went at breakfast time and did not taste good at all. Wish it was better, not a lot of places to eat in Atoka unfortunately.

Wow! Look at this portion size! Highly Recommend the Cheeseburger and homemade French Fries read more

The service was terrible waited twenty minutes just to order.Then waited almost an hour for our food and finally left when the table that had more food and got there 20 minutes after us got there food before us. Don't recommend it read more

Bledsoe's diner is your quintessential hole-in-the-wall small town place. Locals and travelers alike will enjoy the homey feel. The burger was the largest I've ever seen and was loaded with at least 6 sliced of bacon. My husband had the all you can eat buffet which was fresh and scrumptious with fried chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, beans, peas, and macaroni and cheese. This will definitely be our travel spot when going between Texas and Oklahoma. read more

Nice small family restaurant. Simple menu with all the usual "Diner" fare. Marisa was quite accommodating. I ordered the "Special" which was Beef Stroganoff with all the fixings and some onion rings cuz they looked awesomeThe place could use a good Spring cleaning but the food was plentiful and tastyand the clientele were kind, welcoming, gun-totin', God-fearin' people who appear to have been coming for a long time cuz some of them had "the usual"! read more

Looks dive-y but the burgers are cooked fresh to order and they are huge and delicious. Get there early enough and the buffet food is all fresh and good - a great value for the price. I am somewhat obsessive about cleanliness; this place could use a deep cleaning. But the food is good so I keep going back. This is a good place to go eat; service is prompt, food is good and the place is quiet enough you can hear each other talk. read more

Dirtiest place I have ever been to. When we walked in, there was a woman who had a disgustingly dirty shirt on. There is no way her shirt got that dirty in just one morning. You wouldn't believe it. I was hoping she wasn't an employee but it turned out she was the cook. My son went to the bathroom and I asked him if he washed his hands. He said the sink was too dirty. I made him go back and wash them anyway but I saw what he was talking about. Then the waitress brought us all some water before we ordered. My wife's cup had pink lipstick on it. I wiped some of it off with a napkin. The waitress tried to excuse it and said, "I think it's just some paint." I said it looks like lipstick and she said, "Oh, they are just not cleaning my dishes." That was the last straw and we decided to leave. It looks kind of sketchy on the outside and it's worse on the inside. read more

Nice little diner. They had a reasonable lunch buffet. The salad bar portion was limited but fresh. The waitstaff was very friendly and even though we were watching calories we tried the cake on the buffet. It was very light in texture and tasty. (We shared a piece.) nice place to stop instead of fast food. read more

We stopped in on a road trip from Dallas to Michigan and had the lunch buffet which was up and running before 11:00. For $6.95 apiece, it wasn't bad. Salad bar lacked tomatoes and cucumbers, but was otherwise OK. We both had the fried chicken off the buffet and it needed salt (which I don't mind at all - I'd prefer to salt my own food!), but was crispy and not greasy. There were collard greens with bacon, but the rest of the sides were a starch lovers heaven: corn, pinto beans, rice, and mashed potatoes with two kinds of gravy. Rolls and cornbread were included, as well as two kinds of cake for dessert. Lots of locals, many of whom were ordering breakfast or burgers off the menu. Super casual diner atmosphere, and down-to-earth service. If my husband said, "Let's stop there again," I wouldn't say no! read more

Bledsoe's Diner - American Near Me - Atoka, Oklahoma

Stopped in on our way home from Tulsa based on the reviews and regretted it. What a waste of our money and time. The salad was a very small bowl of lettuce, onions, a carrot an a slice of bell pepper. My friend ordered a steak done medium it came to the table well done and very tough. Baked potato was ok we were given melted butter and sour cream. The Texas toast tasted like dirty grill. My chicken fried chicken didn't come with gravy and was tasteless and dry. The staff seemed friendly and in a hurry to shuffle customers out so they could close in 45 minutes. We felt rushed, underserved and had the worst food ever. Pass this place up. read more

A diner for sure, where the locals put on a "floor show" every morning. I first stopped by accident on a Friday to find a delightful catfish, fried chicken buffet that I now schedule on my return trips off the road selling. Since my first stop I have discovered 'Earl's Burger' (not on the menu, just ask for it!) you'll not leave hungry. If you are thinking morning, have Diane fix breakfast that will carry you through the day. The owners and help are local and genuine. Breakfast is great, lunch is the place to be and evenings are slow, you will be cared for. I can't say most of these good things about other diners I have found on the road. If you are looking for cloth napkins and fine dining, Dallas is just another 2 hours south... read more

As we were driving through we new we wanted to try a small local diner. Saw this and turned around. We were not disappointed. Huge, juicy burgers, homemade fries, mashed potatoes were amazing. Would definitely stop here again! read more

We stopped for breakfast and were not fans. We ordered off the menu and their eggs and omelettes were rubber. Couldn't eat them. They don't butter your toast and instead serve dry toast with a bowl of gravy. I guess if you are fans of gravy, you might enjoy this. But we weren't, and no options were provided. The breakfast potatoes were shredded mushy wet white potatoes -- more boiled or steamed, no crisp any where on it. We left most of our food on our plates and left hungry. There are other diners in other towns along the route through Oklahoma -- I suggest you move on to the next one. read more

We were driving through from TX w our 7 & 9 year old. We wanted to try something different. My husband picked this. I was hesitant at first but man was I glad we ate here. Homemade, fresh and delicious! You have to try the homemade pickles. My 8 year old wants to come eat here on his birthday. Lol Quite a change from wanting Great Wolf Lodge or a Pappadeaux. Lol read more

This place is called Bledsoes. Ordered the steak sandwich only to realize they meant chicken fried steak sandwich. Got it with s ide of onion rings which were huge and just ok, but I may have overdone it with the whole deep-fried thing. Not a bad lunch stop, they also had a decent looking lunch buffet. read more

We stopped for dinner at Bledsoe's on the way to Dallas. It must have recently reopened. My wife enjoyed her hamburger. My chicken fried steak wasn't bad. I wouldn't recommend the salad bar although we probably caught it late in the evening. The service was friendly and quick. There aren't many choices on this stretch of road and we will probably stop again. read more

Noisy, dirty, good for locals maybe but not for anyone with expectations. I am sitting here now. I ordered breakfast 30 minutes ago and still no breakfast. The place is hardly 25% full of people. I am ready to walk out. Breakfast arrived. They screwed up my egg order. Sausage is dry and like jerky. Biscuits are floury. Pretty much not eatable. read more

Bledsoe's Diner has great home cooking! We had the buffet - fried chicken, meatloaf, green beans, mashed potatoes, salad, etc. All seemed homemade. The burger and fries looked awesome! Super nice staff! I will make a point to stop here on our road trips! read more

We've been meaning to stop by here every time we drive by. Our Cuzzette recommended it. It was delish!!! Patty melt and onions rings for me. Employees are so nice and hospitable. Everything is made fresh to order. Will be stopping by a lot more often on our trips to Oklahoma and Texas. read more

Bledsoe's Diner is under new management and is awful. I am not sure how it was before, but I only ate half of my dinner because I am afraid I will be sick later. Place is dirty and disgusting. read more

Great quality American food! Great service and a nice small town feeling. Recommend the patty melt! Everyone loved their meals. Would give 5 stars, but little run down and the bathroom scared me. read more

Wow! The chicken-fried steak is outstanding--the best we've ever had!. The meat was fork-tender and the batter was flavorful and crispy over the entire steak. This is one of those single family operations that the locals know about and those of us just traveling thru dream of finding. The staff were friendly and offered prompt service. Our only "disappointment" was we were there on Monday and their highly touted home-made pies aren't made fresh until Thursday. It's right on the highway on the north side of town--a definite planned stop for our next trip. read more

Great bacon cheeseburger and hand made onion rings! Will be back. Fast friendly service.

Myself and six other friends from KTC here in Atoka went there for lunch and I personaly was treated like crap!!! My friends were astonished at the waitress DonnaJack treated me!!! The food was greasy and the waitress was soooo very rude to me...Well we will not ever go back..They have lost quite a bit of business and I really dont think they can afford that!!! read more
