    This is a cute, roomy place. Service was good and fairly quick. I only ordered grits and bacon. But those grits tasted like the Ancestors were directing them on how to season them. I'm a "no sugar" grits person. When I tell you that they had me at first bite, I am not kidding you. The pricing was reasonable and portions (I'm a California girl) were huge compared to what I'm used to. I definitely recommend this place.

    Dropped in for what turned out too be a great breakfast. This location has two main seating areas. On this visit we sat in the back room which was very clean and very quiet as there were only two other tables of guests in the room. I would say it was almost too clean because the odor of Fabuloso was in the air. Not my favorite scent. We had a very friendly server who took our drink orders and then came back to take our breakfast order a few minutes later. I ordered the Denver omelette with hashbrowns and whole wheat toast. I asked that the hashbrowns be well done. The food was delivered in a timely fashion but the hashbrowns were still not quite what I would consider well done. They were good, just not as crispy as I would like. The Denver omelette was excellent and was filled with visible chunks of ham, green pepper, onions and a little cheese. Very good. The coffee was actually pretty good. A lot of times in diners the coffee is very weak and watered down tasting. Freeway Café is on my list of frequent breakfast stops.

    Black and white, checkerboard squares. Chrome, and Red Vinyl covers the chairs. Coconut cream pie and a chicken fry. Daily specials. Order Breakfast all day. Comfortable dining at the Freeway Café. The Freeway Café is a solid diner. A jaw stretching, loaded Club sandwich, with a platter of crispy fries for me. The fresh meaty filling club sandwich was all I needed. Barely touched the fries. A burger for my wife with a generous helping of the great fries. The good tasting burger had a thin beef patty dressed out with L,T, P, O and M, on fresh buns, hold the mayo. If you prefer a thick beefy burger, better order double meat. The service was fast, friendly, attentive.

    Service was great! The food was good. I was hoping for better biscuits and gravy. Kind of your run of the mill breakfast places.

    Service - Very friendly Food - excellent and food was fast! Very busy but all the staff were very attentive and kind. They even sang happy birthday to one of the staff! Love this place. I highly recommend it for any and all food .

    Traveling through Tulsa and found this burger joint. Decided due to the ratings and the fact that…read moreit had a drive-through that this is the stop for us today. We decided to eat in the parking lot as it's much safer than driving and eating. However, with the option of people watching that also was a deciding factor on why we should park and eat. There is a nice view of the city, skyline and interesting lights and various different people in the area. Would recommend the chicken sandwich combo, however, would probably recommend to request the mayonnaise on the side as it definitely was seeping out the bottom of the sandwich and the napkin was much needed. Disappointed they did not have french fries so we were not able to try them, but they substituted onion rings and the tater tots which both were good. Tater tots could've probably use some seasoning or salt however they were cooked perfect. The staff was polite and helpful. We can definitely see ourselves stopping here again.

Encroaching on a seemingly crowded market can be tough but somehow Howdy feels like an already-established diner. While many newer burger places attempt to overwhelm the consumer, Howdy Burger's approach seems to be keeping things simple and delivering what the people want while staying true to the "burger joint" identity. I've had Howdy Burger 2 or 3 times through the years. My first visit was likely in/at Mother Road Market but a more recent visit was on October 29th (2025). In the midst of an economic stall (the federal government was shut down for 4 weeks at that point), eating out seemed like a luxury. I visited around 2pm for lunch. The weather was chilly and the staff was readily available. I was greeted and I browsed the menu for about 2mins before ordering. I ended up getting a single burger & rodeo fries. Afterwards, me & the lady cashier had a brief conversation about the state of the world as business was slower than usual. The restaurant isn't huge but it was well maintained. I sat near the West windows and the food came out shortly after. The highlight of the food was easily the burger itself. It was a decent size, the bread was soft, and the patty was just thick enough. Each bite was equally satisfying as they didn't hold back on the toppings. I will say that the fries are pretty standard, even with the extra toppings. I don't think the Rodeo Fries are worth wild but it didn't hurt to try. Lastly, I LOVE the variety of sauces they offer and the staff are happy to add them directly onto the sandwich or place them on the side. I've since returned to have the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it was just as good, if not better, than most famed chicken sandwich spots. I wasn't familiar with Howdy for a while and, as mentioned, there are many other places to get a cheeseburger, sandwich and/or fries. But what I like about Howdy is that they don't try too hard, they know what sells and they offer great service. Considering the price, consistency in their products and good people behind the counter, Howdy Burger is good enough to replace your favorite burger chain and/or fast food spot.

You may not order it a second earlier or my co-diner would have ordered it. We managed to still have a very good meal with a variety of appetizers and sides. Shared the Golden Beet Salad on a delicious bed of horseradish labneh. Oh my goodness. I love beets and labneh. They were great! Also had the Deviled Egg Trifecta - served three ways - bacon, jalapeño and traditional. Also a hit. My main dish was a bowl of Tomato Bisque. Another "highly recommend." A generous serving of Crispy Brussels Sprouts rounded out my meal. I took home most of the Brussels and happily had them the next day. The server was very personable and attentive - in a good way. We instantly bonded with him. I look forward to more afternoons and nights at The Tavern in Tulsa's Arts District. The comfortable environment in a warm traditional tavern setting with lots of natural light. I wish I had taken a pic of the pigs on the front door. IYKYK - I love pigs. I've got my eye on other menu items and adult beverages. (I did enjoy my crisp, cold and appropriately carbonated Diet Coke!) I will be back.

The vibe inside is that of old oil money, but you can still walk in with Crocs & cargos & feel welcome. The food is delicious and reasonably priced for the ambience & esthetic the establishment offers. But the real undercover draw is they offer a burger & fries for $9 every single day of the week after 9pm. They also offer complimentary valet service which comes in clutch if your attending a downtown event & parking is a pain to procure. Just make sure to bring cash to tip for the convenience.

I usually order my food to go, but on one visit I arrived early and spent some time inside. The front area has a small waiting space with decor that gives a bit of history and personality to the place. They also offer beef for purchase, which is a nice touch if you are someone who enjoys cooking at home. I sat at the bar while I waited, and the service matched what I have come to expect from them. Friendly, attentive, and easygoing. The bartender even helped create a drink based on the flavor profile I described. It had a light citrus note with tequila and was very well balanced. As for the food, the onion burger is my favorite. I always add lettuce and tomato, and their burger sauce brings everything together. The flavors are rich without being overwhelming, and the quality of the beef stands out. The fries deserve their own mention. The regular fries are crispy and well done, and the sweet potato fries are just as good, which makes it hard to choose between the two. I usually get the garlic aioli on the side, and it takes everything up another level. The atmosphere is slightly elevated compared to a typical burger spot, especially in the bar area, but still relaxed enough to feel comfortable. It is a place I will keep coming back to whenever I want a burger that feels worth it.

I think it is named after a local ranch so sorry if I butchered it. I asked what was on it... all I heard was grilled onions, jalapeños, and some sauce and I was all in!! The burger came on toast and is very similar to a patty melt if you like that style. Honestly it was a great burger. The wife and I shared some cheese and onion fries... I can't say enough about how delicious it was. My wife ended up getting the class burger which comes with cheese sauce to dip fries or your burger in....i wanted the cheese sauce on everything but I did my best to hold back. Service is always great accompanied with some local brews... honestly this is a great place to eat local beef and local brews!

There was a small parking lot in front but plenty of street parking along the street. They have an outside patio you walk past to get into the restaurant. Now tbh this part is what made me teeter between a 4 or a 5 ... when I walked in there was no type of greeting I had to go to the bar to figure out how they ran things. Which the tables are first come first serve and you order at the bar. Once I was able to grab the attention of a bartender they were super friendly. Great atmosphere and kinda "chic" retro vibes. It was pretty poppin also for a Wednesday. The smash burger came pretty quickly, the fries were bomb and reminded me of old school McDonald's fries when they cooked in lard/talllow. The smash burger was right on the money. Delicious pickles and a house sauce and thin patties with crisp edges , proper smash! I also got their salad and that was GREAT! Super fresh tasting and the sauce was so good! I would def recommend this place to people either needing a drink or a bomb smash burger !

There was a group of frat boys that were basically hovering over our table and I swear if they had the chance they would have sat on my friends head. When I was ordering the first time everything went fine but they kind of had to shoo me off so they could attend the line even though my drink wasn't finished? First, I ordered their Tony I-Lander. This drink was not very Islander like I thought, It was more like I was drinking Tony Soprano's cigar ashes. SO, I decided to follow up with a Garden Mai Tai. The mai tai was good but honestly a cup of juice would have duped me. Fries were yummy, typical. Tina's might need to step up their frat bouncer and get someone at the door though because the crowd seemed pretty questionable. I give it a solid- OK.
