The food has…read moretotally taken a nose dive with cooks who are constantly jabbering loudly enough the entire dining area can hear them, or during the world cup constantly on their phones instead if focusing on their job. They use to make freshly made biscuits now they're terrible food distributor rolls served with watery gravy. Stale cold crispy hash browns, omelettes with cheese slapped on top instead of folded inside, replacing Potters sausage with some flavorless replacement as well as pancakes that come out with a yellowish hue like they're under cooked. If you're running a food establishment your foremost responsibly should be competent cooks that serve good food not drive through quality slop. This has caused our breakfast group to move to Silver Skillet which is vastly superior. I certainly hope they get their mojo back, but I'm not holding my breath. ps. One exception regarding staff is the rude female cashier/manager at their 3rd street location, she is a terrible representative for the business.

This Friday's visit to Broken Arrow had my son and I targeting the Blue Plate Cafe at the corner of…read more71st and Elm (Same location as Pho 71 and Lima Peruvian). He runs more to the tame side of food, so this was a logical choice for us. TLDR: good food, reasonable prices and really nice people. Got there around 12:45, and were seated immediately. We got menus and ordered drinks and set about making choices. My son went with the chicken and waffles, hashbrowns instead of eggs, since he doesn't eat eggs. I went with my usual diner test, the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cream gravy and green beans. The inside is clean, neat and cheery. Staff were busy but attentive. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Son's chicken and waffles were outstanding, according to him. Chicken not dry and waffles crisp on the outside and tender inside. Not sure what syrup they use, but he commented that it had almost a cinnamon flavor that he loved. The dish comes with a berry compote type dip that was quite good. Hashbrowns were perfect. Crispy on the outside and steamy soft inside. My CFS was one of the better ones I've had. Not the best, but certainly an 8/10 on all points. Plenty thick enough, nearly 1/2" and well breaded. Crust to meat ratio was good too, with only a little pullback on the meat. Brust was flavorful and not at all soggy. Potatoes are scratch made, and the gravy was both flavorful and plentiful. Green beans were slow cooked and once I salted them, they were great. CFS could have been a little more tender, as some parts definitely needed a knife to cut, but overall, a really good effort. It also came with a respectable side salad that I enjoyed a lot. Prices are reasonable, service is great and the atmosphere is typical diner, without being a greasy spoon, not that that's a bad thing at all. My part of the order ran to $18 and change with an iced tea, and for what I got, that's not bad at all.

The American diner and breakfast eateries are cornerstones to Oklahoma. As enjoyable as an up-scale…read morebreakfast experience can be, I often prefer to keep my brunch experience to be high in quality and low in price. Thankfully, Tulsa is still home to many straightforward, homestyle establishments such as Blue Plate Café. I had the pleasure of trying BPC for the first time on July 15th (2025) and would proudly refer anyone there based on my experience. On this day, I had a work training nearby and had skipped breakfast. After considering a few places, I am grateful that I decided on Blue Coast Café. I arrived around noon to a decently filled restaurant. The entrance puts you face to face with a host behind the counter. The space was efficiently sized and not bursting with ambiance but I found the simplicity pleasing, reminiscent of a classic straightforward diner. There are framed pictures and fixtures alongside both the bright red and pale blue walls providing guests with a sense of the countryside. Most of the seating is tables with booths along the wall. The host invited me to sit wherever so I sat almost exactly in the middle of the restaurant since about every other table was empty. My server's name was Heather, 1 of 2 waitresses at the time. She gave me a tall 5-page menu that left me very impressed. Not only are there plenty of food options (breakfast choices, lunch options and everything in between) but the physical menu itself was well designed: large pages, balanced wording, simple colors and very easy to navigate. Mostly everything on the menu seemed good (perhaps because I was hungry) but I ordered a hot tea and Smoked Sausage Skillet and swapped the B&G/Toast/pancake for french toast. There was only tea choice (Lipton, Black) that came out almost immediately. After returning from washing my hands (wishing I would've brought a book), I listened to the rustle of the restaurant and chatter of the patrons as I drank the tea waited for the meal. Coworkers, families and older married couples convened. It was comforting. The food arrived within 15mins of ordering. The skillet looked mildly appealing: scrambled eggs on top, the cheese was next, all on a bed of crumbled sausage and veggies. Though the cheese wasn't 100% melted, the plate completely filled with food. I couldn't resist! I added salt & pepper and began mashing the ingredients together. It was a delightful assortment of flavors and consistencies. The French toast wasn't mind blowing but definitely better than average. Heather made sure the syrup was hot and condiments (salsa & ketchup) were brought. 10/10 meal, hunger satisfied! As I sat, appreciative of the satiating meal, Heather came to inform me that my meal was paid for! My head swirled around the restaurant to guess who it was but Heather didn't reveal who or why. I was even more grateful that I came! I walked away in awe and returned with cash to tip Heather. So unfortunately I don't know how much the meal was but I'll say that great folks work and dine at this restaurant and I'll rave about my experience for years.

My wife ordered an omelet and I ordered the country fried steak. Both came with hash browns, biscuits, and gravy. The order was delivered within about 5-7 minutes. Food was hot and fresh. My wife really enjoyed her omelet and the rest of her meal. My country fried steak was hot and the gravy was very good. I didn't enjoy the biscuits or hash browns as much as she did but I'm very picky with biscuits. They were soft, fluffy, and fresh. I like my biscuits with a little more texture (crisp) and these were fall apart soft. Again, they weren't bad but had a good taste. Just not my preference for a biscuit. The only negative was the price. It's a tad expensive but what isn't these days. Since we were just passing through the area, I admit maybe it is in line with other diners in the area. Service was good and food was hot and tasty.

It can get pretty loud in here, but they do have a little side area if you want space for private party. We've called ahead and reserved it in the past.

The Yale location is still alright when I am craving some delicious green beans. It's also a lot of food for your buck, even with the price increases over the years. The entrees allow you to choose a never-ending potato (cottage fries are excellent). You also get endless green beans. They are truly delicious. I splurge and get the apple sauce, as well. It has delicious chunks of apple (even though I'm pretty sure they just add them to store-bought). I get the fried chicken strips and end up with a meal the next day. Their signature is their white gravy. It's sacrilege in Oklahoma, but I'm not a gravy fan. I ask them to leave it off, but I usually end up with it anyway. My husband enjoys it, but it's nothing to write home about. They also charge (at the time of this writing) $3 for rolls. The service is very hit or miss. Unfortunately, they are not assigned sections. This leads to being bothered constantly or ignored. We were there recently when it was slow, and a server was doing walking laps almost the entire time. Other times, you sit with empty drinks forever. Overall, it's good for comfort food with large portions. If you are picky about service, it may be a crapshoot for you.
