This is an American classic! Yes it's in a small strip mall so there's not the traditional "diner" look. But the food is over the top. What really made our meal memorable was the service. Every member of the wait staff came by topping off our coffee or checking on us, but the star of the experience was our waitress, Misty. Oh my goodness if you visit here you've GOT to ask for her! She's the personification of warmth and friendliness and everything that makes dining in a family restaurant wonderful. We absolutely love Lilly's! read more

Great Dining experience. Everything on the menu is great. Now one of my local favorites.

We came from a morning funeral to eat lunch on our way to an evening wedding. Needless to say, we were overdressed for this relaxed and comfortable environment, but had wanted to try it and we were starving! The enviroment is retro american cafe combined with rural rustic, and it works! The food was off the chain good! I had the roast beef on texas toast with brown gravy on top and mashed potatoes. Quality meat and excellent taste! My husband had a double buscuits and sausage gravy. Yes, breakfast is served all day! Service was friendly and timely! The cost is practical, meaning, you could easily budget to eat here more than once a week read more

Everything was DELICIOUS!!! The onion rings were amazing! It was so good, we ate there twice!!

Great food & fast and friendly service! Home fries are spot on! And I highly recommend the Fried Jalapeños! Even for breakfast.

We stopped in here after church Easter Sunday. We did not want to cook so we were happy to find out that they were opened. We come here often and the food is always hot and fresh. Friendly service and reasonably priced. It has the vibe of a friendly neighborhood diner. My husband and I always get an omelet. My youngest loves eggs, pancakes and bacon. We all left full and happy. read more

We didn't take picks of the food before was so good we scarfed it down. That has to be some of the best food we've had on our road trip. You can tell this is made from scratch.

Lilly's Diner - 1/2 Ham breakfast with choice of bread - Diners Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

While in Broken Arrow running an errand, we realized it was noon and no one had eaten yet... After a short and informal poll, we realized we were all feelin' a mite peckish, and some good food would remedy that. The question was.... where to get that good food..... So I whipped out my phone and consulted my trusty Yelp! app, which steered me to Lilly's Diner in Catoosa. Now, to be fair, we were already at 51st and 193rd, so were were almost midway. Don't want you BA people feeling neglected or anything. Having head great things about Lilly's and seeing their 5 star rating in Yelp! I felt safe in heading that direction. We arrived to a nearly full house, but found a great little booth in the corner just our size. Our server got right on it with menus and drink orders. After looking over their menu, we finally made our choices. Except for The Kid, who having spotted Spaghetti and Meatballs, was through with that whole decision thing. The Wife opted for a Western Omelet and I, true to form went the Chicken Fried Steak route. To be fair, I generally try to eat fairly healthy, but once a week or so, I drop the rules and just go at it, and today was that day. Within a reasonably short time frame, food was on the table. The Kid's pasta was nothing short of awesome. The marinara sauce would rival some of the higher end Italian joints around Tulsa with no problem. The meatballs were hot, moist and full of flavor. The only minus, and it's just being picky, was the grated parmesan on top as opposed to a freshly grated variety, but again.... that's just me being nit-picky. It was outstanding as it was. The Wife's breakfast order was visually appealing and the taste matched that at every turn. She shunted over about 1/3 of her hashbrowns to me and still had much more than she could eat. I sampled the omelet, which was light, flavorful and everything a good omelet should be. The browns were cooked as perfectly as you can get them, and the biscuit and gravy could stand on their own. Light and fluffy biscuit and a smooth flavorful gravy with just a hint of sweetness in there. I'd asked before ordering if the CFS was scratch made in house, and our server told me that yes.... oh yes, it is. So with that, my expectations were up just a notch. I was not disappointed. Thick enough to have two sides, the meat was flavorful, juicy and fork tender. The breading was light and full of flavor, and there was ample gravy to go around. The mashed potatoes were good, but let's face it, unless you're raising the bar on your spuds, they're usually just there to anchor the plate, and not much more. Again, these were still really, really good. The green beans were tender and had a slow cooked flavor that I enjoyed. I'll leave my final comment on the CFS by saying that had I not possessed a shred of dignity, I probably would have just licked the plate clean. Not only was it THAT good, it was THAT gone. All of it. Yep... I did that, and I ain't ashamed. Service was spot on, with our drinks being refilled regularly. Our server had the balance of being there enough and yet not being there too much. They were also promoting Lilly's 1 year anniversary on being open, and all I can say is that I wish them many, many more years being open because Tulsa NEEDS places like this. read more

Dissatisfied and disappointed both times with the poor quality and taste of the food, lack of service. No itemized receipt either.

Not only do I work here, but I eat here weekly with my family. I appreciate the quality of food, the portion sizes and the service provided. I spend my money here instead of going through a drive thru, the cost is about the exact same. The quality and quantity of food is 1000 times better at Lilly's. Blessed to have this in our small town of Catoosa, Ok. read more

Great place for locals and people traveling on the Hiway. Not your 5 star restaurant but good comfort food and friendly staff.

It was good diner food, nothing fancy. But provided good, well made, quick food. Service was excellent and pleasant which is a refreshing change, nowadays. They had very good crispy catfish and onion rings. Didn't look or taste like it had just came prefrozen & pre-breaded from a bag. read more

The food is always amazing! My family and I are big fans! I hope they stay around but the people and the food are always so good! The restaurant is always clean even though every time I have been there they are super busy! read more

Great breakfast with reasonable prices. The bacon is THICK. The sampler has 2 bacon, 2 sausage patties, two strips of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 cakes and potatoes. I don't like sausage so I subbed for more bacon. We were there during lunch and saw some good looking lunch plates coming out. Wait staff was efficient and friendly! read more

Excellent food and service! Prices were also reasonable. You can actually afford to feed your family here!

Staying across the street at the Holiday Inn, the desk clerk told me not to miss Lilly's. Tuesday evening at 7:00 and the place was fairly busy. I found a booth and ordered the special: chicken fried chicken with 2 sides. Mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The chicken nearly covered the large plate. Coating was light and crunchy, and the white meat was tender and tasty. Add a scoop of lumpy mashed potatoes (not likely to have come from a box) and cover liberally with white gravy. Yum! Broccoli was steamed perfectly with a sprinkle of seasoned salt (a half shake would have been enough, but it wasn't offensive. I thought I was full when I finished my meal, until the server offered a slice of coconut cream pie. I rarely order dessert, but I have a weakness for coconut, and one little slice couldn't hurt much, could it? Just a simple diner with great food. I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

I had the chicken fried steak and eggs, my eggs were cooked perfectly but my steak was a bit chewy. The gravy was good and the hash browns were good but not too hot and I ordered them extra crispy. Our service was friendly and helpful and we had a good experience. The ambiance is all American diner vibe and it's clean and cheerful. I think I'll try the biscuits and gravy next time. read more

We went to Lilly's to have breakfast for dinner. The food was very good, the servings were huge, and even though they were slammed, the service from our waitress was great. We will definitely be going back. read more

Had the CFS and the biggest complaint was that they served it to me with a steak knife. It should be illegal to do so because that meat was so tender I ate the entire meal cutting with my fork! Delicious! String beans were a bit bland but the corn and mashed potatoes more then filled me up. Fresh brewed sweet tea was great compliment of a drink. Just when I was about to ask them to roll me out of there I saw the guy next to me get a peach cobbler dessert. Who am I to say no to over-eating. Absolute must have. In fact, I should have ordered that to eat first! read more

Great family diner. Carla is our fav! Ask for her if you like a lil side of sas w your order! Everyone is great there, just like family!

We eat there last night. The food was great. My only complaint is that my fries were cold. The waiter Teresa was friendly and helpful. My daughter wanted curtain items so she suggested modifying one of there other meals. I'm sure we will be going back. How we ended up here was we were going to Flying burger and found it had gone out of business. read more

We came in on a Saturday morning around 9:00 and we got sat down immediately, the waitress took our orders within 5 minutes and our food came out in around 15 minutes. Our waitress was attentive too! Come in hungry because you get plenty of food. The biscuits have got to be home made, they're so thick and flaky! I had the biscuits and gravy, sausage links, and hash browns and every bit of it was so good! The hash browns and sausage were perfect. Crunchy crisp on the outside! I want to try their lunch sometime now! read more

This is our favorite spot to stop at as we're driving from Edmond Oklahoma to Branson. Great breakfast and lunch options.

We were expecting this to be one of those diners that you just happen upon with really good food. The tuna salad sandwich was literally the worst tuna sandwich I've ever had. My husband got the Reuben and it was so soggy he could hardly pick it up. Fries were good. read more

Really have come to love this place. So far Hubby and I have been here for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. And each meal has been fantastic. The food has been tasty and the service has been wonderful and attentive. For dinner I had the rib eye with the mashed potatoes and side of green beens, Also came with a side salad. Husband had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. His also came with a side salad. Everything was fresh and inviting. We will definitely be coming back for more of the very varied menu. Notes for lunch we had sandwiches which we ordered to go, and food travelled well. I did not arrive sweaty and wilted. read more
