This little cafe has some very tasty food. The server brought our food quickly and it was very hot. The portions we're large and the price was good too. I didn't stay long enough to check the bathrooms for cleanliness, but I had an overall positive experience. I'll be back again. read more

As this is a nostalgic place for me I want to give so much more. That said, it is not the heartwarming stop I enjoyed as a child on our regular drives from OKC to Woodward. The place is small and service speed totally depends on how busy they are, of course. Unfortunately we came in after a big table and had a long wait. That is not to big a deal though. The biggest issue is we had multiple roaches crawl across our table while waiting on our meals. We decided to move to a table away from the wall to help. We were so hungry we stayed and ate anyway. I had a reasonably priced ribeye that tasted just like at home. The food was home style cooking and the server was so friendly I hate I can't rate it higher. Cleanliness is so key when I am eating. read more

good food but the wait is sooo long even if there's no one there besides you. the food is kinda bland but good otherwise

Stopped in for breakfast with our Venturing Crew after a very cold campout at Roman Nose. Nice, locals-eat-there, mom-n-pop, type place. Always prefer to spend my $$$ locally than in a chain restaurant so we gave it a try. Food was good, plentiful and hardy. No issues as noted in other reviews. If you are looking for quick cookie cuter type chain food, go elsewhere. Each breakfast was hand cooked to order, as ordered. Coffee was good and strong. None of that foofoo stuff here. This is real food for real folks. We'll be back next time we come out!! read more

Headed back to OKC from a week in Colorado and stopped in for breakfast. Very good food, restaurant was packed on a Saturday morning- my plate was hot and very tasty! I'll be back, very laid back atmosphere- obviously a local favorite! Wait was a little long - but for one waitress all OK. read more

Hi-De-Ho Cafe - Inside of hi-de-ho - Cafes Near Me - Watonga, Oklahoma

After spending the day at Roman Nose State Park, we were searching for a place to have an early dinner and rest a bit. The offerings in Watonga were not very plentiful. We happened to pass this place on the way to another place we found on yelp that has since closed down. So we turned around and decided to give the Hi De Ho Cafe a try. As soon as we walked in, we were hit by the eclectic small town charm of the place. Seating is a hodge podge of diner booths, restaurant booths, and a large dining room table. The staff was very patient and very helpful in explaining how things worked there. We settled on the homemade chicken fried steak (they also offer a frozen version for weird people who prefer that) and an open faced chili cheese burger. All food is cooked to order, but we did not feel like the wait was very long at all. The food was cooked to perfection, and was very delicious. If you find yourself looking for a place to grab a bite in Watonga, check out the Hi De Ho. You won't regret it. FYI tip, they serve breakfast all day here. read more

Don't judge this book by its cover. The outside and inside decor have much room for improvement... But, with that being said, Food was great... a perfect greasy hamburger with crispy Curley fries. Probably one of, if not the best place to eat in town. Staff was friendly also. Please read the other (one) review of this restaurant, I agree with him and would recommend. read more

I know this place has a lot of regulars, mostly men eating, drinking their coffee and talking. It hasn't ever been my "go to" place to eat, but I've come in on lots of occasions over the years. There's been a lot of rumors about this place. Some have seen cockroaches and some have said they cook cat meat, because of all the cats they had running around from the back of the restaurant. Personally, I've never seen a cockroach inside and it looks as though they took care of the cat problem. Hi De Ho has been in Watonga ever since I can remember. It looks like a small diner that shows it's years. The food is pretty good and the waitress might be depending on who they hire. The last time I was in there with my mother and brother a few months ago, the waitress had on a holy and ripped shirt wearing her pants down low and tight. You could see the crack of her butt showing everytime she left our table. Yes, they can wear whatever they choose to. Like I said, it's not my go to place, but Watonga doesn't offer too much in choices of eating places. read more

If you are looking for a small local Cafe with good breakfast. This is the place for you! Open and serves breakfast 5:00am - 10:00pm 7 days a week. read more

Well, they serve breakfast all day which is good for this traveling musician. The food was good enough. Coffee wasn't bad. The floors were extremely dirty and we couldn't find a clean table at which to sit, but the friendly waitress wiped ours down as soon as we sat. There was a "help wanted" sign in the door, so maybe they're understaffed. The food came out without too much delay. It's really in between a 2 and 3 star rating, but I'll give it 3 stars since it's probably the best café in the tri-county area. read more

Ordered a pancake this morning. After 2 bites this is what I see. Told the lady at the register. She acted like she didn't believe me and charged me for the roach filled pancake. read more

Hi-De-Ho Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Watonga, Oklahoma

Just left this "diner" and I will NOT return. Ordered the special that was advertised on the menu board. Enchiladas-Beef, Chicken or Cheese. I ordered cheese. Simple, right? WRONG. 30 mins (not kidding) AFTER I place my order the waitress comes to my table to tell me they only have beef enchiladas. Umm... okay. You have cheese and you have tortillas, right? Yes. So can you make me a cheese enchilada? Nope. Not happening. So I order a simple club sandwich that I receive after another 30 mins. Soaked in mayo and inedible. Not to mention the tater tots were so over cooked that they were brown on the inside. After asking for my check, 3 times I finally left money on the table and walked out. The kitchen has some SERIOUS ISSUES and the owner has the worst attitude I have ever encountered. If this is your choice for lunch... think again. Hit the Subway across the street. You'll be better off. read more

Good little diner with home cooked food. I've always been satisfied with my meal. It's an old building that needs some t l c otherwise a good experience. I'll try breakfast there soon. read more

Stopped in for breakfast before our son's XC Meet. We were running behind schedule so asked for our food to go. They quickly accommodated us and we were out the door. The food was fabulous and our waitress was very nice. We'll definitely go back. read more

Pancakes, biscuits w/gravy, hash browns were good. Eggs were fried perfectly. Good coffee. This is where the locals eat.

We spent all day at roman nose hoping the rain would stop so we could cook. That wasn't going to be the case so we searched for a place around Watonga that had decent reviews. We picked this place.. Dont waste your time. It was horrible the food was frozen patties heated up with a cold piece of cheese placed on top. the french fries were stale. they nickle and dime you for everything. Full price for substitutions. So might as well buy everything and hope something tastes good. We will not be back. read more

Friendly but, very SLOW!! Sat there for 10-15mins b4 anyone came to talk to us, their chicken was like "Sam's" frozen patties....could have done the chicken strip meal at home myself! read more

Awful! Frozen food, tastes terrible and the service was even worse! It's extremely filthy, and the prices are not worth what you get.

It's a small town diner with friendly service and good food. There's a little of everything on and off the menu. If we're ever in town, we'll return. Of course, there aren't many restaurant options in Watonga or Roman Nose, but this place does the trick! read more

Other than a few rude waitresses occasionally,not a bad place to eat, a little pricey on certain meals.Some of the people are nice and a great place to meet friends and neighbors. Certain foods tastes like vinegar and coffee too sometimes. read more

I found a roach in my iced tea, and one in my son's burger. The waitress did offer to replace both, of course we declined. Definitely will not be returning. read more

If you want a really good breakfast then this is the place. Try the kitchen sink omelette but you better be hungry! The burgers are dry and just ok and my brother had a chicken fry that he said was edible but not what he would call good. Just your ordinary small town diner. read more

If you're starving in Watonga OK, this place will do. Quick and friendly service. Food is decent, but everything is probably terrible for you. And for the level of artery clogging, it was really not amazing. If it weren't in the middle of nowhere I wouldn't eat here. Given the lack of real alternatives, its worth a shot. read more
