This place was a fun-find on a trip to Oklahoma. It is located in downtown Checotah, which turns out to be where Carrie Underwood is from, which I only knew from a shrine of her in a business window. Someone parked their tractor outside of the restaurant, which just set the tone for the town. It was definitely a different pace than I was accustomed to. The restaurant reflected an environment just oozing with southern hospitality and comfort food. The food certainly was just that, but the service was not as friendly as I expected. They seemed to look at us a little sideways, kind of like they knew we were not from those parts and didn't trust us... could have been my imagination, but the wait staff was not very personable with us, although they were polite enough. You could not beat the prices here. They had the best value I've seen for the amount and quality. It made my day, especially being from the Bay Area where the prices are exorbitant. read more

Very good small town restaurant. My husband and I both had burgers and fries, and the kiddo had a corn dog. The buns were soft and fresh but also toasted crispy on one size. Very tasty. The drinks were giant sized and the service provided by a slew of high school kids was very good. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but man the food is great!!! Large portions on the boneless chicken (that is amazing btw). Great service as well. Bring a light jacket as they keep it pretty cool inside but that's great in the warm weather months. No pics as we were devouring everything before we realized it. read more

Worth the stop. Down home style. Service quick and friendly. Hubby had pattymelt and I had bowl both delicious. read more

Doesn't look like much when you are driving down the road, but there was a lot of cars out front so I had to stop. Some of the best boneless chicken chunks I have ever had. Consistency was phenomenal and the service was great! Even after my meal I got some desert... The peanut butter pie was almost as good as the kind grandma used to make! 10/10 will definitely be dining here every time I come through! read more

June's Restaurant - a slice of pie on a plate - New American Near Me - Checotah, Oklahoma

My sister and I went here for lunch on Wednesday. I had read reviews and it sounded like a good local option while we were in Checotah one day. It's downtown so there's lots of shops to explore when you're finished eating. I had the grilled onion burger and fries. My sister had the half order of boneless fried chicken, which came with mashed potatoes (real, not instant!)and gravy, a salad and Texas toast. Everything was great and the portions were generous. My sis couldn't finish her half order! The burger was perfectly cooked, onions were carmelized, the lettuce, tomato, and pickles were fresh and crispy. My sis said the chicken lived up to its reputation and the accompanying items were good. We'll definitely be back! Lots of locals filled the place, so you know it's got to be good! read more

Food good. Wanted fried chicken-on the bone. Nope, not here. Bathroom on second floor. Had to climb the stairs which is difficult with my cane. Otherwise, I would eat here again. read more

Best boneless chicken. Good friendly service. Chicken fry steak in excellent as well.

I had been here once before whilst road tripping, and had to go back. I love the small town diner feel, and the staff is so friendly. You can tell this is a place the locals enjoy by the restaurant's local community information and the amount of families who frequent it. Get the chicken; oh my gosh just do it! read more

After a long day from Amarillo stopped into this little gem after reading reviews. So happy we did. We were greeted by a customer leaving that set the mood. Grab a table and they won't disappoint. Our waitress was Jaycee Duke. Wonderful, cheerful young lady with lots of charm. Strike up a conversation with her if you get a chance. We ordered coffee first and it was really good especially if you like it black. Next was a bowl of Cowboy stew and Boneless chicken dinner. Huge portions, great value and did I say, Yummy? Tasted like scratch to me. To finish we had the apple dumplings. Only regret was that we didn't snap a picture. read more

Ya gotta love Yelp... Rolled into this little town and thought I'd find a diner. Well. June's is way better than any diner - and the food was divine. There isn't anything really 'fancy' here. The fact that people were lined up at the door prior to the doors opening says that they don't need 'fancy'... Instead, they simply serve very good and very well priced food. With a smile! I ordered a half order of fried chicken with a salad. The chicken has a crisp, yummy batter and the pieces of chicken are nicely sized and seasoned perfectly. Crisp. Flavorful. Perfect. Salad was fresh and the blue cheese dressing was good. Thanks Yelp for the suggestion... I enjoyed my lunch tremendously. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in here one night on our way across the country. We had no idea that we were getting off and going to find a great restaurant.

Nice stop for lunch tin historic downtown Checotah. Massive chicken fried steak sandwich is a great bargain, hand breaded. Good options for kids too! read more

After being on 40 west for 20+ hours we needed real food so we yelped and stumbled across this gem! It's smack dab in town surrounded by lots of shopping! We opted for the chicken since everyone raved about it and the fried Okra. Both complimented each other. Not heavily breaded. The service was good too read more

I have always lived in checotah my entire life. This is the best place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My favorite is the boneless chicken with curly fries or the spaghetti dinner!! read more

Fantastic local favorite. We were on an out-of-state trip and stopped in on a Saturday around 11 a.m. It was full. Our wait was only five minutes. The servers were efficient, friendly, and fast. The Boneless (chicken) and fries is delicious and big enough for two. The patty melt was exactly as it should be...savory with slightly crispy bread. People kept coming and going, but no one waited more than five minutes. I loved their slogan - "Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease." read more

Nothing special. Face masks are not enforced any where in the town. Did have social distancing; however, that may have only reflected customer volume. read more

Had lunch here while traveling along I-40, based on other reviews. It was excellent. Two of us had the chicken bites, one had a cheeseburger. Homemade fries, and none of it was greasy. Also too full for pie. Sweet tea was good. Service was friendly and efficient. We didn't know Checotah was the hometown of Carrie Underwood until we stopped. Nice surprise. read more

Good tasty food and nice portions. Not cool with the use of styrofoam for drinks though.

Stopped at Junes while moving from Memphis to san francisco. Great cozy place with a great home cooking menu.

Fast friendly service, simple menu and great prices. Too much salt on everything except the turkey sandwich. Side salad was fresh and good. Because of the saltiness, the only thing eatable was side salad, sandwiches and the mashed potatoes. Soup of the day was chicken tortilla soup and I could not much of either and did not look homemade. I would not recommend this restaurant unfortunately. read more

We ate lunch here on our way through from Texas. Home-cooked food, good size portions, friendly service, clean. One menu shown on Yelp is from three years ago, so obviously prices have gone up from 8.99 to 12.00 on the chicken fried steak dinner (good), mashed potatoes and gravy are homemade, green beans were great! Small side salad and Texas toast come with the dinners. We also ordered fried mushrooms for 5.00. They were very good! Would definitely go back on our way through town. read more

Great food. Friendly people. Just nice history. And the portions, oh Lordy they fill you up! Recommend this place!

What a great hidden treasure. The reviews did not lie. If you're going through here, I highly recommend. Food was delicious, definitely home cooking. The boneless chicken & hamburger was excellent. Large portions & prices are extremely reasonable. read more

Always worth the stop when visiting Oklahoma. The best fried Chicken and quick service.

Our family of 4 (2 kids 9 & 12) is on a road trip and went to June's based on the great reviews raving over the food, service, and closeness to I-40; we found our needs met or exceeded on all 3 points! We almost missed this sweet and delightful diner because one reviewer reported they were there for 2 hrs on a Saturday night. It's Saturday & we were hoping for a faster dining experience with 2 more hours of drive time ahead of us. I called June's 20 mins away and they told me there was no wait. We were seated right away at 6PM and our service was phenomenal! We were out of the restaurant in 45 mins- even with an appetizer. I am sorry that I didn't get our super friendly and sweet waitress' name (short, thin brunette with a fantastic smile!) we got 1 order of fried pickles (OH.MY.GOSH. SO yummy! The crispness of the pickles and the crust was perfect!) My husband & I both got half orders (boneless dinner & boneless chicken salad) and were so glad we did! It was plenty of food! Our son got a cheese burger that I tried and it was so good! The fries are nothing special, but as good as you would get at other places. Our daughter got the chicken fried chicken dinner that couldn't be halved, so we brought some leftovers. The chicken most definitely IS special! June's does a great job with their chicken. We wanted apple dumplings, but we were too full and didn't want the extra calories after the fried pickles and chicken!!! I gave 4 stars, not 5, only because we're pretty serious foodies and have eaten at some really unique restaurants. However, June's offers great dine-in road trip food! read more

Awesome food! We had the boneless chicken, spaghetti and pickleos. Hope to stop back by to try the hand breaded chicken fried steak. Just a mile or so off highway 69/75. read more

We stopped at June's today for lunch around 11 a.m. The front door was locked, and no one was around. Have they closed? 12/16/15 update: Received a note from the owner today. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and was recently closed temporarily for some maintenance. Guess we hit them during one of those times. Next time we're in the area, we'll give it a try. read more
