a burger and french fries
Paula C.

I love this spot. I was on a road trip with my boyfriend and just happened to drive by and I'm so glad I did. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the nicest staff. The food came quick. My coffee was always topped off. And my burger was juicy and delicious. The decoration is a delightful 50's style diner and I am here for it. Thanks for making our road trip so much better.

My son and I stopped by while traveling to grab breakfast. The decor was cute and what you would expect from a diner named Happy Days. I was very impressed when the waitress asked two you boys if they wanted their usual so things started out good. The waitress was attentive and our food was good. However, as I sat there in the booth I noticed the faint smell of mold and saw that the ceiling was sagging. When I went to the ladies room at the end of the meal the ceiling was covered in black mold. I now have to say that I'm worried about the employees exposed to this daily. This honestly needs to be addressed right away for the safety of staff and patrons alike.

Nice little diner. Good selection that they serve all day. Service was good. Meal was served fast. It was a bit pricey for the portions. Would recommend.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast on Labor Day 2021. Conveniently located less than .5 miles off the highway. Quiant decor, friendly and speedy service and the food was very good. The food had good flavor and was served fresh and hot. Definitely recommend if your trying to have something in Paul's Valley other than fast food.

I am so happy that I found the Magnolia Cafe in Durant, Oklahoma! This is the best run cafe I have…read morebeen to in a long time! The manager, Chris stays right up front and is a real hands on style manager. He makes sure that the customers are well taken care of by the wait staff( who are all friendly and knowledgeable as well as hard working). The decor is attractive and spotlessly maintained. The kitchen staff gets the food out very promptly and the bacon, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy were all cooked and seasoned to perfection! Everything was so good that I drove through a flooding deluge of rain and lightning to eat there the next morning! Chris remembered me(after only one visit) and greeted me by name! I will definitely be eating here on every trip I make to Durant!

Was visiting from out of town and this place came highly recommended however somehow, it missed the…read morespot for us. We arrived and got seated, the waitress was plenty friendly, made suggestions, made sure coffee cups stayed refreshed. However the food just seemed to be lacking. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and literally it was a biscuit with white gravy no sausage or seasoning that could be tasted. I had specifically asked that the hashbrowns be cooked crispy. However what was served was far from that. The skillets were more like a scramble. The creamer container was filthy where the server ended up taking the container from the table. We were asked if we wanted to go containers which we declined. It just didn't meet our expectations based off the reviews we had read nor the recommendations given to us, to which we left disappointed. We can put this on the been there, done that list.

After two days at the Grand Casino hotel for a home builders convention my dad and I were tired of…read moreeating at the casino. It was up to me to pick out a restaurant in Shawnee for dinner. I had my hesitations since I really didn't see anything on Yelp maps until I stumbled upon Theopolis. I did some research and concluded that we were eating here for dinner last night. I am so glad that we did! Upon entering it was quiet and not that packed. The decor was comfy and elevated for a nicer dining experience. Our waiter was really helpful with recommendations on the menu since it was our first time here. We got the artichoke dip to start, I got the chicken pot pie and my dad got the 8oz Fillet with a baked potato. Starting with the artichoke dip we were blown away with this appetizer. It came out hot with plenty of sliced toast points. The creaminess of the dip paired with the crunch of the toast points was out of this world. We were talking and this might have been the best artichoke dip that we have ever had! Would get this again! The entrees arrived and I got the chicken pot pie. The chicken pot pie was exactly what I needed last night. Shredded chicken, potatoes, carrots, herbs and spices in their house-made roux which made the meal hearty and comforting. The flaky puff pastry just was the cherry on top to balance the savoriness with a little sweet with the warm pot pie. No doubt I would get this again! Tried a bite of my dad's 8oz fillet. It was well seasoned and the temperature was cooked to perfection. I am not a big baked potato guy, but the baked potato that was served with his steak was amazing! Really good! We both finished our meals before we got the chocolate cake for dessert. It was a small slice but it was perfect after a big meal! Sweet and had the right amount of chocolate. Nothing was left on the plate after that. Yummy indeed! Theopolis was so good after the convention today we decided to come back for lunch before making our way down to DFW. I got the smash burger and my dad got the fish and chips. The smash burger was a proper smash burger with a flat patty and melted stringy American cheese paired with fries and a homemade thick ketchup and Theo's sauce. It's everything you want in a smash burger for a great lunch! Flavorful and I could not stop eating my fries with the home made ketchup and Theo sauce. The fish and chips were fantastic as well. I got a bite and it reminded me of the fish and chips that I had in Los Angeles in 2022. The beer batter around the fish was crisp and pairing that with the flakiness of the cod just was the perfect bite. I don't think you could have a bad meal here. Oh and a shout out to our waitress Grace who was managing multiple tables at once and provided us fantastic service! At the end Theopolis was the best choice when staying up here in Shawnee. We couldn't have had a better dining experience here since everything was fresh and surpassed our excitations. If we lived in Shawnee, Theopolis would be in our rotation weekly for lunch and or dinner. Reasonings for a 5 star review: The food was fresh and flavorful, waiters/waitresses had great service, the food was unique and stood out from other restaurants from the area. We hope to be back in the area to dine here again!

I stopped at Theopolis while visiting Shawnee and went with the breakfast tacos. Three street corn…read moretortillas with scrambled eggs and carne asada, plus chips and salsa, and they were seriously so good. The carne asada had great flavor and the whole thing felt like a really solid brunch order. Downtown Shawnee has a lot of character, and Theopolis feels like it belongs there. It has a little bit of that dressed-up brunch feel without being stuffy, and there's clearly a lot of thought behind the restaurant. I'm always happy to see a locally owned spot that puts an emphasis on local ingredients, too. I'd definitely come back for the tacos, and next time I'd be tempted to try one of their cocktails. The menu makes it pretty hard to pick just one thing.
