The food is always fabulous. Great prices and such friendly service. Thanks to Carol for making my husband feel so special on his birthday and to the nice gentleman who bought him a piece of pie and ice cream to help him celebrate. You are all too kind! read more

I stopped in for lunch at Johnson's Stepping Stone cafe in Bixby a few days ago. I hadn't been there in about a year, so it was definitely time to get back there. I ordered their world-famous chicken fried steak. It was served with mashed potatoes and gravy, and fried okra. It was very tasty! Everything on their menu is fantastic. The service is outstanding. The waitresses really take good care of you here. You get a great meal for a great price. The restaurant is cozy and really has that small town ambiance to it. Everyone is very friendly! If you have never visited the Stepping Stone cafe you have to give it a try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Food was freshly prepared, but lacked flavor. I had the FAMOUS chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes. The steak breading was crisp and flavorless. It was an effort to cut through the very thin meat with a serrated steak knife. Canned corn was dry and of poor quality. Mashed potatoes were a lukewarm glob of instant potatoes with white gravy that had to be a mix with water added. The side salad was iceberg lettuce with 3 small bits of tomato. Ranch dressing was excellent. I drove over 30 minutes to try this restaurant during the latest part of a weekday lunch rush. Service was efficient for the lunch hour. I have no desire to come back. read more

It's a must try. I give it five stars. read more

Want really good prices?? Like you got inside a Time Machine and went back to the 1980's prices?? This place is for you! The prices were almost shocking! Really good food! This is a small neighborhood cafe, that is dated and not as clean as a lot of places, but gives off "back in the days vibes". Even tho it's dated and needs shuffle Ramsey to come in and make it beautiful lol, the food, staff and prices are a win. They make homemade chicken and dumplings, I had the BLT and it was yum! It's $5.39 and comes with chips. YES you read that correctly.... Super affordable. I chose to add in- house made onion rings for an additional $2.99 and they reminded me of the kind my dad use to make. Very pleased with my lunch. I will say they add a $1 fee for a thingy of ranch (ranch was not that good tbh). I didn't know that and probably wouldn't of gotten it. My friend had a hamburger and chose to opt out of the chips that do come with it - instead she got the fries. I tasted her burger and it was very good! BIG sodas. BIG sodaaaaa... They also sale homemade desserts and also peanut brittle. I didn't get any because I was about to POP. Cute little downtown Bixby with a couple cute shops you can walk to as well. Just a tip.... I didn't care for the Copper Key Coffeeshop I went into. I have a separate review on that. read more

An outstanding café. Friendly attentive service and excellent food, a good variety of diner menu offerings, at bargain prices. I just knew that my wife would order the Indian Taco. I just knew it! Wrong, she went with the Fish Basket, one of today's specials. I followed her lead. A $10.99 value packed basket of food. Crispy coated fries, a school of fresh crusty hot moist catfish filets, great coleslaw, an odd looking, but delicious version of a hush puppy and a cup of perfect tartar sauce. Generous portions. You probably can't eat it all. The ladies serving were constantly checking on customer needs, always greeting with big personable smiles. You will feel like you are a local and a regular customer here. The café is small, still packed with customers at 2:30 when we entered. The Stepping Stone Café knows how to fry fish. read more

Okay I hate to give this place the 5 stars because I would love to keep this gem hidden. When you see steak fingers on the menu, they are homemade and the breading is fantastic. Large portions, we both had left overs. read more

I had heard about this restaurant long before I actually got to try it and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. A quaint little cafe situated in downtown bixby with a laid back ambiance and delicious food! The restaurant was packed when we arrived (so I knew it was gonna be delicious) but the waitresses were kind and we got a table quickly. We sat, perused the menu and both got the chicken strip dinner. Service was fast and the food was 10/10. If you're in the area you HAVE to try. read more

I wish I would have taken pictures! Super small, quaint, dining establishment. They were full when we came in but a table and a booth were both cleaned immediately. In between the quick cleaning they were also taking orders and checking on customers. We were promptly greeted and received drinks faster than most places and they had every table full. Our order had was taken quickly and they brought the food out fast! The order was correct, it was a great temperature, and looked good on the plate. We had 1 refill of 1/2 & 1/2 tea and it was the fastest refill we have ever had. I had a chicken strip basket with fries and gravy and a massive dinner roll. It was everything I wanted it to be. Everything was excellent, perfectly cooked and great portion sizes. The chicken was just the right crispy. My husband ordered chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with white gravy, fried okra and a massive roll. He also had the option of soup or salad with his meal. They had several soups to choose from but he chose a salad. It resembled a cafeteria salad but he said these are my favorite salads. The fried okra was also fried to the right amount of crispness and delicious. My husband ordered a slice of pecan pie to go and said it was the best pecan pie. (Obviously not his mom's ) They have several other items on the menu we are looking forward to trying. I know where I will be buying my pies from! read more

Steak fingers were delicious, dipped into the white gravy. Okra was okay, as well as mashed potatoes. Wife had Indian taco. A bit dissatisfied with the fried bread. Special of the day and a lot of people were eating them. Wasn't what she'd order again. Service is always spot-on. Can't say enough about staff. Very nice. read more

We found this local cafe because of crowd going in the door. I glad we did. I had a delicious classic club sandwich which was delicious. Todd ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings. You know they can cook when you get excellent onion rings. Great food quickly and super friendly service makes this a great choice. I hope to order from the breakfast read more

I really wanted a club sandwich ( i looked up where I could order a club sandwich from) and this place popped up. It was really busy, but I eventually went to place an order to go. Again, they were extremely busy and the place was packed, but they eventually did take my order and it came out on time. I ordered the club sandwich with onion rings, and it was really really good. The place is small but it's like a mom and pop little café to have a really good time. Like being at home type of feel. read more

A not fancy diner ! Food was tasty and very reasonably priced I had so much food I couldn't eat it all !

I've been hearing a lot of good things about the food here so my wife and I thought we would place a to-go order. We picked out the breaded chicken dinner with a salad w/ ranch dressing, fries, and fried okra. The food was still hot by the time we got home with it. The salad was kinda basic and boring. Just lettuce and a couple of pieces of diced tomato. The breading on the chicken was really flavorful and crispy. the chicken itself was cooked perfectly. The fries had nice seasoning and were cooked perfectly. The okra had a lot of end pieces in it that we didn't eat but other than that the okra was pretty standard on flavor. We will return and try out one of their other menu items in the future. I would recommend giving this place a try if you happen to be in the area. COVID Safety Notes: The staff does not wear any covid protections and social distancing for employees and customers is impossible while inside this business. read more

Johnson''s Stepping Stone Cafe - breaded chicken dinner with fries and okra - American Near Me - Bixby, Oklahoma

I cannot say enough good things about this place! It was absolutely fantastic. The service is courteous and instant. When the building and every single table inside is filled with a constant turn over, you know everything thereafter is gonna be great. The burger had an incredible flavor, juicy and savory like a burger should be! The chicken fried steak is fried to order, as well as the onion rings and fries. Everything was fantastic and well seasoned without over doing it. I would consider this place to be an instant classic. Did I mention it's native owned? I absolutely will be back and will continue recommending this to all of my friends. read more

Hidden away a couple blocks off of Memorial in the old downtown part of Bixby, Steping Stone is the perfect, classic small town diner, from the hand painted advertising on the exterior for Indian Taco Wednesdays and homemade pies, to the well-worn booths and friendly waitstaff who will make you feel at home. I had their jalapeño cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. Both were great. The burger was large (can't imagine how big thier "jumbo" burgers are!), a hand-formed patty, shredded lettuce, and ripe, red tomato slices. Onion rings were cooked just right in a light, crispy batter. And all for around $7! I got a slice of coconut merengue pie for dessert and it was also really good. They are apparently known for their chicken fried steak, which other reviews here mention, and they said their Wed Indian tacos and all-you-can-eat catfish Thursdays are also really popular. My piece of advice is don't come in a big group because it's tiny, and my only complaint is that the bathroom could definitely use some love/upgrades. Other than that it is a great place and I can't wait to come back! read more

Great burgers. The onion rings are delicious. They're the ones that don't really keep a shape. Just a delicious pile of onion crispies. Get there early as it fills up fast. read more

Better than most hamburger joints and prices as gone up as like everything else. Wait staff are friendly and quick to get your order. Burger comes with chips, fries are an up charge place is small and very popular so get there before 5:30pm or you could be waiting on a table. They do offer counter seating as well. read more

Mmmhh the best home cooking around Bixby!!! Real Indian Tacos every Wednesday !!! You can't go wrong!!! Call ahead as they stay busy from open to close. Small dining room but always to go window option. Plenty of parking most days. Quick fast service. We always go on Wednesday for sure for the Indian tacos read more

Good food, good service, enjoyed the good old fashioned down home/small town atmosphere.

Love, love, love Johnson's. Family owned and operated this is the place for some good, down-home cooking! We love Indian Taco Wednesdays. The fry bread is delicious! For the big appetites ask for double meat, you won't be disappointed. The chicken fried steak dinner is just like your grandmother used to make; super crispy breading that isn't too thick and the steak is flavorful and juicy. Let's not forget the gravy :-) Don't let the ambiance deter you, this is a must try for any foodie! read more

Excellent home cooking diner located in downtown Bixby. Food was tasty with generous portions of dinner fare. I had chicken fried steak mashed potatoes with white gravy pinto beans and side salad. Very simple but tasty food. Staff was friendly and efficient in a small town diner setting. Pricing was competitive and they take credit cards but no alcohol is offered. Numerous homemade pies are available for dessert. read more

They used to be SO good! Now that they pre-cook the hamburger patty, it is dry and flavorless. This has been the last two times we have eaten there. And we have been eating there a lot for almost ten years. And they were real fast when cooked to order. I don't know what happened. Very disappointed and trying to stay loyal to them. read more

Hidden gem... a family owned diner that serves restaurant quality food. We ordered BLT, grilled chicken sandwich and chicken strip. All tasted great and freshly cooked. I highly recommend this place :) read more

I have to say, the food was great. Hamburger with rings and grilled cheese with fries. Oh yeah slice of apple pie which didn't make our fridge.

We love eating at the stepping stone. Food is always delicious and the helpings are incredible!!

Excellent service. The chicken fried steak sandwich was a delicious alternative to a burger, which also looked and smelled delicious, I will go back to try their burgers. The sandwich with fries was a daily special, my son and I ate for less than $25. That is a good deal. read more

Nothing fancy here. Just good ol' stick to your ribs country cookin'. Check their weekly specials. Wednesday is their Indian Taco night, Thursday is their all-you-can-eat catfish night.... Those are my two favorites but In will take their chicken fried steak any night. Sometimes it is a wait to get inside but folks are usually quick to eat so tables clear quickly. Bring your appetite but leave your anxiety at home. The staff is always friendly and attentive. read more
