Tall glass of water.
Dan C.

Fun and popular place for lunch, quite busy on a Sunday morning. Excellent service all around. We both got the 2X2X2 breakfast - 2 eggs, your choice of 2 bacon or 2 sausage and 2 pancakes. Also includes hash browns or home fries. It was all delicious. Very generous portions. I'm sure we'll be going back soon.

Two large grilled pork chops with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables
Jim G.

While driving down South Peoria (Brookside) we noticed Brookside Diner. It was close to dinner time and thought we would give it a try. I'm glad we did. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating. Our waitress was one of the best we've ever had. I did not get her name, she was friendly with a sense of humor and seemed to really enjoy her job. We ordered onion rings as appetizer. Onion rings are fresh made not store bought. My wife ordered grilled pork chops with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and brown beans. We both were surprised at the size of the pork chops and chicken fried steak. The dinner rolls are homemade. We both enjoyed our dinner. And had enough to take home for another meal. I'm sure we will be coming back again the next time we are in the neighborhood.

Brookside Chicken Salad
Spike S.

My wife and I both were thinking about a salad today for lunch. A salad with crispy chicken. And not a fast-food franchise salad. I wanted to go somewhere that had friendly service. Where the employees and the owner cares about the quality of the food that they set in front of their customers. The reviews for Brookside Diner had the rating. 4.5 stars on Google and Yelp. That is a strong indicator of a solid diner. Pictures of Brookside Diner's breakfasts and chicken fried steak seem to dominate as diners' favorites. The breakfast menu and the pictures of the breakfast plates will get me back in the door. Inside the restaurant is clean and comfortable. The service is prompt. The employees are very friendly. The owner made a tour of the dining area, checking on everyone. He also owns Yummy Subs and More in Broken Arrow, which offers excellent daily special sandwiches. Try it if you haven't Our salad orders were the Chicken Avocado and the Brookside Chicken. Both with the breaded fried chicken breast. These are generous plates of food. A pile of salad vegetables and two large breasts sliced up in bite sized pieces. The chicken covers the plate of salad. A wide selection of your favorite house made dressings are available. Creamy Italian for my wife's Chicken Avocado and my favorite, Thousand Island for the Brookside Chicken. Check the pictures. Construction on Peoria has shifted to the east side of the street, making the access to Brookside Diner much easier than it has been for months. Enjoyable meals, great service.

Pancake
Steven P.

Hit this about 9 am on a Sunday. Immediate seating was available. Server and service was prompt. Their menu is fairly standard for diner fare - skillets stand out, but I went with a meat lovers omelet and a pancake for a small upcharge. My buddy had a Denver omelet. My omelet had bacon, sausage, and ham. Appeared to be a 3-4 egg omelet. Generous but not silly sized. I chose hashbrowns which were nice and crispy on the outside, how I like it. The pancake was outstanding - fluffy, but just right texture and size. Warm syrup accompanied it. Again, service was friendly and appropriate. I'll be back - I see why it's rated well.

Hash Browns and Over Easy eggs at Brookside
Eddie H.

If you want to go eat at a local diner that is run by an owner that cares and is constantly getting his own hands dirty doing all of the things his wait staff does as well as all of the other duties it takes to run a restaurant this is the place to go in Tulsa. Fresh hot rolls, freshly cut bowls of fruit are evidence along side the good quality main dishes and flaky biscuits that the details of good food are not being neglected here. The ambiance is not trendy or upscale. It's not quaint or nostalgic it is as practical as you please. The success of this restaurant is due to the sheer hard work and dedication of it's owner.

Bacon avocado omelet
Tuan P.

What is there not to recommend this great diner: Good customer service - check Good food - check Breakfast all day - check Affordable - check Cleanliness - check The only thing that is a problem was the order. I was pretty sure that the person took my order asked whether I want hash brow or fries which was somewhat surprising as fries typically don't go with breakfast. I picked fries and got that stir fried potatoes which I did not like. If that is what they call fried, they need to change it.

What a fantastic little find!…read more We stopped by for brunch as this "Mediterranean-inspired" brunch caught our eye. It lived up to our expectations and exceeded them. The restaurant is bright, clean, and modern. We started with the Smooth Criminal cocktail and the Pineapple Sangria. Both great. Well balanced, unique ingredients, everything you want in a unique cocktail. We did order the whipped feta appetizer, but unfortunately they were very busy and there was some miscommunication. We didn't get to eat it at the restaurant, but they kindly packaged it for us to take home and we enjoyed it later. Although it was good, it would have been way better fresh. But these things happen, it didn't spoil our brunch. On to the mains: lamb shoulder hash...at brunch? Yes, please!!! Topped with two perfectly poached eggs, and brunch potatoes on the side with a nice crisp salad and fresh bread. The lamb was seasoned to perfection, and melted in my mouth. The biggest surprise for me were the potatoes. Brunch potatoes are usually overly greasy and bland. These were fresh, salted, and had the perfect crispness. I would like to think they are fresh, but even if they're frozen...well done! I would have happily eaten 2-3 of these lamb dishes. The French toast was the second entree. Brown butter and maple foam, on top of a piece of French toast that is the size of a small child. Even with all of the sauce, the toast was still crisp. It was a very heavy dish, some fresh berries with some acidity would be nice to cut through it, but the overall flavor was on point. The wine list is exquisite. If you enjoy good wine, this is the spot for you. Their reserve list has some absolute bangers on it at a very reasonable price. All in all, it was a nice experience. We would happily recommend and return.

Huge bar, great selection of whisky! Im pregnant so couldn't partake. But, just looking at…read moreeveryones fancy drink orders was fun and they all looked amazing. Ambiance reminds me of a fancy place you would find in a larger city. Upscale and minimalistic. Very pleasant. I sat at the bar so unsure about service at a table. Unfortunately, I felt overlooked at the bar, especially since I wasn't drinking. The staff was extremely busy making drinks and I had to get their attention whenever I needed anything. Would recommend making reservations to get a table seat to receive proper service. I ordered the burger with fries. Cooked well but the flavor was nothing special. Will return and try something else!

Service was spot on throughout the entire night. We started with the deviled eggs, half plain and half Chef's Choice. The Chef's Choice were the best, drizzled with chili crisp (or pickled Szechuan peppercorns) and topped with a tiny gherkin and fresh dill. The soup of the day was a cabbage and radish soup. It was interesting and very homey but I wish I had ordered the salad. I had the Novarro Farm sweet Potato Gnocchi (kale and pecan pesto, Birch Bottom Farm Georgia candy roaster, fresh chevre). I was a little hesitant about the kale pesto but should NOT have been. This dish was delicious--great garlic flavor. Would order again. The burger looked amazing and while The Hubs said it was good, he also said it needed some more spice. They had a couple of rotating beers from Heirloom--a Mexican Lager and an Italian Pilsner. I had the Water Lily cocktail, their take on an Aviation. Order it just because it's beautiful (and refreshing). The photo does not depict the deep color of it. I asked what other gin based cocktails they had on their menu. They didn't but the server/bartender offered to make me a Bee's Knees for the second round. It was delicious! The atmosphere here is casual but the food is elevated. I kept thinking this is what a French bistro would be like inside. I want to come back and shop the market. Oh, and the apple pie was excellent as well!

It was semi warm and it just wasn't what I was expecting. But my father-in-laws wife had it and loved it. So I chose this restaurant because they had fried chicken in the menu. Well, I'm never gonna turn down fried chicken so I ordered it. I included pictures for reference. At first glance I thought they had over cooked it because of its dark color. But as I started eating I realized that they had used a ton of paprika in the batter to give it that dark red amber color. The chicken was good and not overcooked. However, they used a batter for the crust. Much like a Japanese tempura but less garlic. The crust was a hard crunchy shell. The flavor was ok but I just don't care for battered chicken. I also felt like it was cooked too hot. The crust was borderline over cooked but the inside was done. That's just my opinion. They served the chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Both just warm and as my meal progressed the gravy was straight up cold. But I was finished so I powered through. To be fair, the fried chicken was the least expensive entree on the menu. But I'm kind of a fried chicken snob so I'm gonna give it a 6 out of 10. I prob would not order it again, but there were some other things on the menu I am excited to try on our next visit.

The staff was always quirky, the food was good, and the place ran smoothly even when there was a long line waiting for tables. This visit, our party had 6 people and we got there around 9:30 on a Sunday morning, before the breakfast/brunch/lunch rush and there weren't many tables occupied so the service was fast and attentive. Our coffee was always topped off, and the water carafe always full of ice water. Once our orders were placed the food came out faster than expected. I had the Chickito (flour tortilla around eggs, cheddar cheese, green onions, and chicken, with small containers of salsa, sour cream, and guacamole), and it was good, but not great. Next time I'd ask for more salsa. It also comes with home fries, which are my favorite variety of breakfast potato - crispy outsides and soft insides. Other folks ordered omelette, biscuits, other items off the menu, and all said their meals were very good. The chalkboard with specials says clearly at the top that they add 20% to every check, but I can't recall if it said it was a service fee or gratuity. Either way, they automatically add the tip which, in my opinion, lowers the bar for staff to do a good job. This means, go early to get better service to make the automatic +20% worth it. Overall, I'm going with 3 stars because of that extra 20%. If they didn't do that I'd give it 4 stars.

We came in as a party of four, and honestly, I don't know why we expected anything different. This…read moreplace has always been mediocre at best, but this visit somehow managed to sink even lower. The service was a joke. Our waiter barely acknowledged us the entire time--long waits, no check-ins, nothing. Then came the straight-up lie: we were told chocolate milk refills were free. Cool, right? Wrong. The bill shows up, and suddenly we're staring at $44 just for chocolate milk. For four people. That's not a misunderstanding--that's either incompetence or straight-up deception. And just when you think it can't get worse, they slap on an automatic 20% tip for a party of four. Four. Not ten, not twelve--four. For service that was practically nonexistent. A forced tip for that level of effort feels insulting. If anything, the experience deserved a dollar out of pity, not a mandatory surcharge. Between the terrible service, misleading information, and ridiculous charges, this place went from "mid" to "never again" real quick.
