I am discovering some excellent mom and pop cafés / restaurants around the Grand Lake area. This is…read moreone! Chicken is their name, but the menu covers everything you would expect in a small-town diner. Breakfast was our meal of choice today. They lay a plate of breakfast goodness on the table here! My usual again today, check the pictures. Everything cooked perfectly as ordered. The honorable mention awards on the plate go to the bacon and the gravy. The bacon cooked crisp, the way I like it. Not for everyone's taste; it works for me. This was crisp bacon, country smoke house thick cut. Sturdy and crisp enough that I could use it as a knife cut the eggs up. Or maybe even use it to butter toast. Yeah, I liked it. The gravy appears to be real, homemade. If it was a mix, then the cook gave it some extra love with sausage drippings. It was good. A big clean restaurant, Excellent friendly service. Easy access. Today's Café table top advertisement winner is Larry's Body Works. Not an especially creative or catchy ad, but I liked the picture of Larry's Rat Rod!

3.5 stars. A group of 6 of us came in for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is large, so it's good for…read morebig or small groups. There were lots of servers, so we were well taken care of, but I felt rushed through the meal. We had not been in before, so it took some time to decide what we wanted. The menu is a little hard to follow with some things listed on a menu board on the wall (that no one pointed out to us). The waitress came back like every two minutes asking if we were ready, so we just felt a little rushed through that process. The food itself was hit and miss. My son did not enjoy the chicken fried steak sandwich, but my other son loved his Monterey chicken. Some of our chicken strips were good and some were really tough. The fried chicken and grilled chicken sandwich were both pretty good. Overall, it was ok, but not our best meal of the trip.

I asked the waitress if she could put fresh lettuce out and she said she'd just go pull the bad lettuce out of it. I was pretty shocked by that reply and the flies were all over the salad bar. I got diarrhea a hour after I got home and was up all night with it. I probably should not have eaten it but I really wanted salad. I just don't want anyone else to get sick from this like I did. Other then that, everything else was fine.

A small, busy, noisy, clean, cozy, comfortable diner. The staff (I assume owners) are exceptionally nice and the service beats anything that you'll get in a big city trendy café. Depending on what time you get there, be prepared to share a table. I love these little diners. Our breakfasts were perfect. A special shout out to the biscuits and gravy. Loaded with sausage crumbles. My plate (the usual) cooked exactly as ordered. My wife went for a plate smothering sized pancake and thick crispy bacon. Check the pictures. 5 big stars all the way! And....... This has to be said, that blonde waitress has a beautiful smile and rocks a pair of Daisy Dukes.

I was in town for a class so it was a convenient stop right down the street. The prices are affordable. The food was amazing. I had been craving a solid burger for a while and this completely satisfied my craving. The employees were all sweet and helpful. Will definitely stop by again next time I'm in town.

The catfish plate is a really good value and the catfish is just really good. They have vinegar and hot sauce for the fish.

My wife stuck with the burger. Did you see that Case knife display when you walked in? I did. I spotted a knife that I had had many many years ago. I think it is going home with me. It did. Comfortable and most importantly cool inside. Decorated to look like a bar and grill. The friendly owner working today took our drink orders and asked if we wanted to try their pork rinds? Hah, is a pigs ass pork? A big basket shows up, more than we could ever eat, fresh pork rinds. Hot from the fryer, sprinkled with a little Cajun seasoning. Gratis. Now that is unusual for a starter. Works well with cold beer. The bar is well stocked. Their Chicken is one of the house specialties. Marinated so it comes to the table juicy and tender whether prepared fried or grilled. Spicy tender strips with okra were perfect. My wife's burger was excellent along with the crispy fries. Check the pictures. Took the leftover rinds home to my neighbor Mohammed. He loved them. Said that he is now questioning some of his life choices. Great friendly service in a comfortable little road side bar and grill. The Oak Bar and Grill is a must stop on the Mother Road, US Route 66.
