Inside looks like the 70s. I love it!! I love all the booths and round booths they have!!
Brennah L.

UPDATED REVIEW- original review at bottom This update is going to be short. Everything was great as usual but I thought I should write to mention that they increased the prices of most of their items. The most important thing I wanted to write about was the fact that when we were at our table we saw and killed 4 baby roaches on our table and by the window area. So I took off two stars for that. First review The outside may look a little rough, but don't let that stop you from the deliciousness that is waiting for you inside! If you are someone who judges places on the decor inside or outside, please look past that and try this place. If you are looking for delicious food on the cheap, this is the best breakfast place in okc! As soon as we pulled up I didn't have the highest expectations, but boy was I wrong. Yes as soon as you walk in you are transported back to the 70s with all the round leather-like booths everywhere and dated decor. I actually like booths better than tables and chairs, so I couldn't go wrong with where to sit. One waitress was waiting for us and a few other patrons were there eating. We picked out a round booth towards the back. Looking at the menu I was so shocked at the low low prices. How can I get an omelette with two sides for $5.50 and it be good? And the French toast was $2.75. Ok we have to try that. We each got a dish and then also got the French toast to share, because with those prices why not right? My coffee was brought out while waiting for my food and it was great coffee! I was worried because at most diner that are affordable, the coffee is usually gross and tastes like an ashtray! Not here. I got a little jar of fresh cream also for my coffee. Yum. The food was amazing! The omelette was ginormous with tons of toppings inside, or should I say insidings since they are not on top? Anyways, it was giant! The hash browns were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and soft inside! The toast was Texas toast, so bring on the carbs baby! The French toast does not have powdered sugar like some places but it comes with syrup on the side. It was delicious . This place is way better than iHop and Denny's! We can't wait to come here again and try some other dishes. The prices are so affordable. If you are a student or just trying to save some money, you should come here and try it out!!! Oh yea, our waitress was awesomen!

Great community restaurant. Tucked in next to my hotel, they have an expansive menu and fresh hot coffee.

OKC's best kept secret. So glad I found this place! I've ordered delivery from here three times now. Each time something different and it's always fantastic. Today the complete omelette and mozzarella sticks. Mozz sticks packed full of cheese and crispy even after the 40min delivery time. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Go try this place. You'll even have money left over, it's hella cheap!

This used to be our favorite breakfast spot. Good food with great prices. But unfortunately our last visit wasn't that great. It's an old style diner with a large selection of foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, French toast, and omelettes for breakfast. Sandwiches, pizza, chicken fried steak, and some Mexican entrees for lunch and dinner. They have specials on a chalk board when you walk in and pies for dessert. The service is always good with the wait staff being attentive and friendly. But unfortunately they have adjusted the prices on their menu and it's no longer the good deal and value that it was before. Also, we were disappointed to kill four small cockroaches at our table while we were eating our meal. This place is a little out of the way from downtown but was worth the trip for the value. Now at these prices we can get the same food for cheaper closer to the city. And without the roaches. Sadly, I don't think we will be eating here anymore.

Club Sandwich, thick cuts of ham and turkey, pretty darn good and only $5.50

I love a good classic diner! Sometimes you just want some simple, comforting, down-home cooking. They have that in droves here, with a giant menu and low low prices. Yet food is made fresh, cooked right, and not too greasy or heavy. None of the cheap, frozen, processed crap you get elsewhere. The country gravy on my hubby's scramble was as creamy as it comes. Link sausage had a nice red pepper kick. My club sandwich classically-styled with thick slabs of ham and turkey, crispy bacon, yummy. And both meals under $6.00. They even have a simple salad bar you can add to your meal for just a couple of bucks. Crazy good deals for fresh cookin'! Be sure to finish with one of their delicious cinnamon rolls, best with gobs of butter. Plus you get to eat at this kitschy retro diner complete with neon lights on the ceiling and other funky 1970's architecture. Between the Phillips 66 and Holiday Inn, next to the parking for long-haul truckers...Ignore all that stuff. It is clean, no dust on fixtures nor dirt on walls, no torn upholstery on the booths. My only complaint is that the AC unit is right in the dining room and a little loud. They really put time and care into this place, the food, the atmosphere and the service. Actually, the service may just be the best part. The sweetest lady served us, so friendly and helpful during our meal. We came in kind of late and tired after a long day. I regret I didn't catch her name. This place is great! As long as you have realistic expectations, I mean this isn't Nobu. Just a good meal with good people. Next visit I'll be sitting at the counter, sipping black coffee with the regulars.

The dinner salad I made from their salad bar topped with their ranch dressing.

The history on and in this building is amazing. The detail in the workmanship is incredibly…read more The staff is very nice and the dining is supurb. The large bar in the middle of the dining area is a beautiful touch. Our server Alicen was attentive and kind and full of knowledge whether that was about the menu or the history of the building and the restaurant. When our foor was served the presentation was great and the flavors were perfect.

WOW, not only is the food amazing, so is the staff and the building…read more Our server Alicen was amazing. We started with a Spicy Paloma and a Little Italy for drinks and an order of Arancini. Unique choice for sauce with mayo, but it did not disappoint. Dinner bread with oil was also served. We then ordered the Lobster & Ravioli, Pork Milanese, Brick Chicken and Chicken Polpettine Campanelle. The portion sizes are large. The Brick Chicken was incredibly moist but lacked flavor although it went very well with the pasta. The Pork Milanese was breaded and seasoned perfectly would have went very well with some pasta. The Chicken Polpettine Campanelle was flavorful with a kick. The flavored blended nicely. The Lobster & Ravoli looked delicious although I did not try this. Presentation was beautiful. It was all served quickly and hot. We were there to celebrate a birthday and Mother's Day and Alicen did take note. When we were finished eating she asked if Lemon Blueberry cake was ok and proceeded to tell us the history of the building. That was a nice story and who knew. We ventured to the washroom and the up to the 3rd floor to check out where the guards stood. Then down to the lower level to check that out as well. The details in and on this building is simply amazing, beautiful. Perfect spot for an intimate dinner in perfect lighting.
