Spike S.

Atmosphere and décor, both minimal. The food and service excellent. The usual comment from my wife, only this time stated with emphasis, "That was the best damn chicken fried chicken I have had!" It was a big, big chicken breast steak with excellent crunchy breading. She picked mashed potatoes and fried okra for her two sides. Real mashed potatoes. $19.99 for a 12 oz ribeye cooked over a flame and two sides. Try and beat that at.... well anywhere! It worked for me with a small side salad and fries. Check the pictures. The chicken fried steak here has to be fantastic too. On Matt's website, many of the beef, pork and chicken entrees start their description with the words "hand cut". That would lead one to believe that Matt cuts the steaks and chops in the restaurant. NE Oklahoma is ranch country. It might be local beef? Three recommended meals: Chicken fried Chicken, Ribeye, and Chicken fried Steak. Pick from their big selection of sides to round out the meal. Save room for dessert, there is a case full of beautiful cakes to choose from. Don't overlook the catfish. There was plate after plate of catfish coming out of the kitchen this Friday. Very Popular and it looked good. Beatriz, our server took excellent care of us.

Medium rare ribeye
Sarah A.

Their ribeye tastes delicious - probably just seasoned with salt. It was tender and perfectly cooked. I ordered crispy hasbrowns and they were exceptional. I went mid-morning on a Thursday and there was one server for the whole place and she was incredible. 8 tables and 20 people, and she sat me, got me drinks and a menu, and took my order within minutes. She kept my coffee perpetually hot. I saw her always scanning the room to see who needed what. She was totally on it, and did it with grace.

Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast with Hash Brown Casserole
John C.

We stumbled upon this iconic gem during our anniversary getaway to Grand Lake. Our usual breakfast spot was apparently closed on Tuesdays. So we had to find somewhere else to have breakfast. That ended up being a huge win. Matt's Place has one of the best chicken fried steaks that either of us have had in a very long time. The overall quality is incredible. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. If you're in Grove, OK for breakfast don't skip out on trying Matt's Place!

Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and cucumber salad.
Jamie S.

Another great eatery in Grove! It's one of the only restaurants open on Mondays, which is nice. I stopped in for dinner, and it was delicious. Service was exceptional. I was seated quickly, and my food came out hot and fresh. Every time I think I find the best fried mushrooms, I find another spot! These fried mushrooms are next level good. Hand battered slices of portobellos! No button mushrooms here. Delicious house made ranch. Another thing worth mentioning is the cucumber salad side. It's sweet and pickled cucumber, red pepper, and shallot. It's SO good. The chicken fried steak was recommended by the waitress, and it did not disappoint. I went untraditional with brown gravy, and it was fork tender and delicious. The inside is simple. It's just a big metal building, but wonderful folks and food! Oh! And they have Pepsi products if you love Pepsi like me!

We really like this place. Our waitress was super friendly and very helpful. We got the wedge salad…read moreand it was amazing along with a hand tossed pizza with everything on it. The crust was next level. They have a really cool little bar that is kind of enclosed away from the eating area that looked like they made amazing cocktails. We will definitely stop back by to experience that.

Ironically I got to meet the family that took it over and they are great people whom I believe will revive this place. The service was great and had no complaints on that end. Always friendly and welcoming. Now to the food. I got some appetizers such as the jalapeño pimento cheese dip and cheese curds. It was as expected. I ordered the prime rib, which is what they are supposed to be known for. I ordered my prime rib medium rare and it came out well done. Prime rib is usually served with a horseradish sauce but I didn't get any. I asked for a side and my server came back and said they had to make some. I had no problems with that, but when the sauce came out, it tasted way closer to tartar sauce than horseradish sauce. Truly, this was the worst prime rib that I have ever eaten in my life. I am hopeful the new ownership will turn things around for this iconic spot.

Went to the marina to gas up the jet ski on 9/6/2026. The bald guy with the weird piercing working…read morein the marina shop was exceptionally rude. While getting gas, we were in the marina and he was not responsive to any friendly conversation at all. When we paid for gas, we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip, and politely declined, as this is the job duty of the deckhands - and they did not do anything above and beyond for us and were also slightly rude. Reminder that tips are EARNED, not just given based on a society standard of an automatic 18%-22% tip. No one on the deck of the marina deserved a tip that day. When leaving, the bald man walked out and said we were rude for not tipping, then added "if you cannot afford to pay, you cannot afford to play". We asked for his name, which he walked back inside and ignored us. We asked the other deckhands for his name, and they immaturely giggled and said they didn't know his name. I have been to Cherokee Yacht Club many times over the years, and have never had an interaction like this. It has put such a bad taste in my mouth that I have decided to switch marinas and no longer support this business. I know of several others who have decided to do the same after hearing our latest interaction with this person.

My favorite home-cooking place is now a 1-2 star facility. It makes me sad to write this review,…read morebut others need to know, and most importantly, their management needs to know for serious improvement! The food is AMAZING, but the service is horrible. For being such a huge foodie, I never thought bad service would allow me to write a bad review. After all, I eat out for the FOOD, and I put up with almost anything for great food! However, 9 times out of 10 you just cannot deal with the service here anymore. Ms. Donna is a great lady, and her food is some of the best breakfast and lunch around Grand Lake. However, her staff (and the lack thereof) has ruined the place, and it's usually the same two waitresses. One of them is very nice, but not attentive, and the other one is not friendly with a very unprofessional demeanor (yes, even for a casual diner). I cannot wait 15 minutes for a waitress to come by just to hand me a menu, 10 minutes just to order a drink, another 20 minutes to receive my drink, an hour to receive my food then sitting with an empty drink the whole time because the waitress never comes by while eating for refills. Forget ever asking for anything, you only see them to get one initial drink order and your food served. Their wait staff is truly terrible. I've been going to Ms. Donna's for two years because I love it so much, but today's service was so bad, it ended my relationship with the place. The waitress saw us walk in, sit down, and never came over. There were two of us who waited for 15 minutes, and there were only about 4-5 other tables with people eating. This place is small to begin with, and so it's not that difficult to bring menus and drinks in a timely manner. Again, it makes me sad to write this, but enough is enough. If Ms. Donna had a new waitstaff and improved customer service, this place would be 5 stars in my book. If you still want to try it out, I recommend ordering take-out, then pick it up and eat it at home to avoid the annoyance and stress of dining in. The food is worth it!

The food was average. The owner should of told us it was gonna be a long wait. The waitress did a great job had a great attitude and apologised ,while the owner did absolutely nothing to make the Customer happy. I wasn't asking for a free meal however she could of comped a percentage off the bill instead of arguing with the customer. I run my own business and I will do whatever the Customer wants to make them happy
