    Go here! It's so good! We didn't know what to expect, the bacon was generous and crispy. Pancakes were massive and perfect, the hash browns crispy delicious.. I could go on but bottom line if you're into great food and service this is your place. We will be back!

    Great service and the food was spot on for good old fashioned diner food. Definitely will be back.

    Grilled cheese and Half order Eastside onion rings
    Jim G.

    This review is for the Freeway Cafe on the west side of Tulsa. We generally frequent the 4th place restaurant because it is closer to our home. I want to compare the quality of food and service between both restaurants I have been coming to Freeway Cafe sense they opened over twenty years ago at 51st. & Hw169. There was and still is a large menu to choose from. The food and service was five star. However I've noticed a decline in the quality of food at the 4th place restaurant. The East side onion rings have been burnt for several months. Even though this appetizer is a large portion the price recently jumped $3.00/order. One week ago I ordered the onion rings appetizer & broasted chicken dinner. My wife ordered a vegetable dinner. The onion rings came out burnt as expected. The broasted chicken came out so burnt that it could not be eaten. Normally the broasted chicken is an average size bird. I actually asked our waitress if this was a Quail, because it was so small. I know restaurants have good days and once in awhile a bad day. However this restaurant is having more bad days than good. West Tulsa restaurant no longer sells Broasted chicken. So I ordered the rotisserie half chicken with mashed potatoes, salad and brown beens. My wife ordered the veggie plate with salad, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, brown beens and okra. We also ordered the Eastside onion rings. The onion rings were good, the salads were lettuce only with salad dressing but was ok. The rotisserie chicken was good. However everything else was so cold they couldn't be eaten. Example: the turkey gravy was so cold that it turned to gelatin YUK! The service was ok but nothing great Summary: both restaurants have some major issues that need to be addressed. The biggest issue starts with poor management. I would like to see a resurrection of the old Freeway Cafe

    Server No clue. Didn't say her name. But she's the only gal in here waiting tables. Considering she's by herself, she's quite efficient. Her name is Sabrina. Ambiance It's a classic car themed burger shop. There's Country muzak playing. To be fair, there's a whole lot more than just burgers. Food The food is above average. The spaghetti was accompanied by a good tasting salad and very good garlic toast; it all was very good. The patty melt smelt and tasted good to very good. The fries on the other hand left a lot to be desired. Definitely the worst part of this plate. They didn't taste as though the were fully cooked. Some of the middles were cold some were much harder than they should be. Overall I didn't see the staff sanitizing tables after each guest leaves. The young girl at the register I see walking around with her phone in hand. Very unprofessional at the very least. Not to happy to see there's no management here. Military Yes

    Chicken fried chicken w/fried okra, corn nuggets and huge dinner role

    I have been here a few times now and its not bad. The inside reminds me of a classic diner. The food is good, not amazing, but for the good price and plate full of food you get, its worth going back. They have a daily rolling menu of 15+ specials everyday and the regular menu has 50+ more selections. One can almost find anything they want to eat here. There is also a wide selection of fresh made pies in the case as well as a literal plate sized cinnamon roll, which is delicious. If your ever over this way and in the mood for some down home food that will please everybody, come over and give it a try.

    Fried chicken livers, mashed potatoes and all the gravy.

    For the second visit in a row, the staff started mopping while we were eating. The cleaner is so strong it kills your appetite and burns your eyes. This is not a rookie mistake. The owner who has three of these locations was in the dining room while it was taking place. However, the food is satisfying while you can eat it. And the menu is expansive. Very casual atmosphere. The staff is kind and were patient with my kids.

    This is the inside.. I'm a restaurant snob so I look at everything. Eating area is pretty clean.

    Service was OUTSTANDING. I had a BLT w/ fries. My bread was toasted a bit too hard for my liking...but it was good. Much better than the Wendy's sandwich that we were going to get. We actually ended up here because our navigation brought us here but there was no Wendy's restaurant here. So that's how we saw this place. It's a quaint little place...would def come again and try something else as they have a lot of menu choices.

Our server, I can remember her name but I think she was the only one with the pink hair that day, she was so good. My friend and I both, after she first came to our table, decided she was going to get a little extra too. The place is large, much larger than it looks from the street. There's a covered outdoor patio adjacent to the sidewalk on 15th but it was WAY TOO humid and hot to attempt that. When we left though, I did notice it was full of people. I guess that means everyone feels the same way I do about this place. There were so many good items on the menu we were in a quandary. Our pink haired server came to our rescue! We told her about our dilemma and she jumped right into which were her favorites from our list. She was spot on, we each enjoyed our food. We ordered: Gluten Free pumpkin pan cakes (it's a stack of 4 large pancakes!!!) - my friend said it's the best GF pancakes she's had yet. The spiced pecans, pumpkin cream cheese spread and maple bourbon syrup were SO GOOD! Side of Biscuits & White Gravy - the biscuit was good. Soft in the middle and evenly crisp/toasted on the outside. I might've like a little more flavor to my gravy. Maybe more sausage fat (for real, just trying to keep it real here!) or Tabasco. Country Fried Steak & Eggs - this was a HEARTY sized chicken friend steak. It was definitely made fresh. The batter was a little heavy, not thick per se, but extremely crispy. That probably works to its advantage as it doesn't get soggy too fast due to the gravy. Parking on the street for a Saturday wasn't good bad. We did drive around the block once...maybe 1.5x, but that could have been our fault. We're not from here and aren't used to the norms and standards her. I'm highly recommending this spot. We would've come back again the next morning if we didn't have to leave so early in the morning to get on the !

I decided to pack on the carbos with a short stack of pancakes topped with caramel sauce, bananas, and walnuts. Wow, they call this a short stack! I am quite certain I could never eat a tall stack! My wife ordered the breakfast tacos, which looked quite small compared to my pancakes, but she loved the flavor--a nice mix of scrambled eggs, avocado, and cajito cheese! More coffee!

My husband ordered the roast beef and fries. The first order of the roast beef sandwich hardly had any onions but the worst part was the hair discovered on the fries. Upon the second delivery of the same meal, we discovered a SECOND hair. Listen, we've both been in the service industry so we try to have grace toward servers and kitchens. However, the worst part was that our server indicated they had just switched kitchen staff and yet this occurred on the same dish. Secondly, my husband had the view into kitchen and saw a kitchen staff member look out the window into the restaurant and roll his eyes at our table, ostensibly for returning the meal. First time is a mistake. Second time, completely different hair thickness - felt intentional. Food is your typical brunch and diner fare. If you go, be sure to thoroughly check your food prior to eating.
