This was my first time trying Shady Oaks, and I think it was an overall decent experience. You don't get a 5/5, because your gravy is a mix, and I'm pretty sure your bacon is microwave bacon. Where's the passion for good food? Cooking bacon and making gravy homemade is easy. I definitely recommend you give them a try, though! I'll be back to test their hamburgers. read more

Shady Oaks? More like Sandy oaks. Everything tasted like it was seasoned with freezer burn and a light dusting of the Sahara Desert. Dry, gritty, and somehow both cold and overcooked at the same time. I'm pretty sure my meal spent more time in a freezer than in a kitchen. 0/7 would rate. read more

Excellent breakfast dining in Hochatown. We enjoy stopping here and so do lots of visitors to the area as the parking lot is always full in the mornings. The service is warm and friendly and the ambiance is that of a typical local diner. read more

Your typical American diner. Nothing to write home about. It is subpar at most but was fuel before a hike. I love pancakes and was quite disappointed in these despite the yummy thoughts of a cinnamon roll flapjack. The portions are large and plenty of food. Our favorite thing we ordered were the biscuits and gravy. DO highly recommend getting a biscuit with your order. read more

Always enjoy coming here while we are staying at Beavers bend Sate park. Food is always great especially their big pancakes at breakfast and the coffee is amazing I don't know what they do but it's amazing read more

I absolutely loved my experience here! The food and portion sizes were incredible. The cheese curds and avocado chicken bacon ranch wrap was a must-have. The drip wasn't bad, too. I'm a barista though so I'm a bit of a snob. The ladies working were so sweet as well. If I didn't live in a different state, I would come here all the time. read more

Great little hole in the wall spot. Easily overlooked by tourists in this touristy place. Don't sleep on this place! Onion rings are on point! Barely holding together long enough to crumble in your mouth. Sweet onion used so it melts in your mouth. The steak finger bites! WOW! They took a steak, sliced it up breaded it and fried it! And gravy doesn't overpower it! The fried green beans are frozen, but still seasoned and fried well. Tots were tasty. Overall a good experience. Workers are kind and not in your face, but there for good service! read more

We went to Shady Oaks for breakfast this morning! It's a small diner, so it fills up pretty quickly! We had egg plates with bacon, potato cubes, and a biscuit with gravy. Everything was good and our waitress was attentive and nice! Oh but they are only open on Friday,Saturday, Sunday and Mondays. Give this small restaurant a try! read more

Came on a sunday, service was fine. Appetizers (fried mushrooms, green tomatoes, mushrooms) were good. The rest of our meal... 50 minute wait. we got fried shrimp, a few burgers, chicken nuggets. Burger meat was dry and unseasoned. I work in a burger restaurant with similar menu items and the 50 minute wait is crazy. No clue what could make it take so long. Certified mid. I pray for the rest of broken bow oklahoma if this is the best burger in town read more

Shady Oaks Restaurant - 2 egg plate whet bacon and toast Cheese omelet with biscuit and gravy Blueberry pancake Cinnamon roll pancake - American Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

We stopped in for a family breakfast following a family reunion weekend and this place was amazing! It was only one of the few places open on a Sunday morning and was the perfect cap to our reunion weekend meeting and reconnecting with family membe The omelettes are the perfect portion and everything was cooked to perfection. The veggie omelettes had fresh vegetables and the eggs were cooked just perfectly. We were greeted warmly and our server was amazing. I would gladly stop by this charming little place again should the opportunity arise. read more

They serve only breakfast all day on Sunday, closing at 2. Small place so had to wait for table to be cleaned. Service was extremely slow. We ordered French Toast And western omelette that came with potatoes and biscuit n gravy. The French toast was heavy with center gummy. Probably the worst I have had. Omelet was ok, potatoes not good. Biscuit n gravy just ok. We had been there almost 30 minutes before eating. Not sure what happened with our order but we will not return in future. I have now changed my thinking that you can't mess up breakfast. read more

We came on Sunday expecting a hardy breakfast as we were driving out of town. But it wasn't anything we thought it would be. I guess this is what I get when I let my friends pick the place LOL We all ordered a variety of things/ they don't do substitution. So because I didn't want meat on my breakfast plate- I had to order eggs, grits and potatoes separately à la cart. Which made my simply breakfast $13 instead of $8.50 they charge for the breakfast plate which was eggs, toast, potatoes and sausage/bacon. So you will get punish here if you don't eat meat! The grits were nasty!!! We all joked that our KIDS can cook better grits than what we were served. Their pancakes seems to be a popular item so my friend ordered some... and when she asked for some syrup to go with the hot pancakes, she was giving Cold syrup.... The eggs were small and OK. They ran out of fried green tomatoes... I mean I will not be back. Go else where for breakfast!!! read more

Stopped here on our way out of town hoping to eat some good homemade comfort food. The fried green tomatoes and pickles were good. However, the service was slow, my food was burnt, and the food took FOREVER to come out. (Roughly 45 mins to an hour after ordering) read more

Great little local place for breakfast. I had the 1 egg plate which included a meat of your choice (bacon or sausage links), biscuits and gravy or toast and cubed, fried potatoes and the kids had French toast and a biscuit and gravy. The waitstaff was nice, service was fast and the food was fresh and cooked to order. I would visit again! read more

We were hoping to stop in and have a great breakfast at this restaurant that seemed to serve a great breakfast from the pics of their place on the internet. But when we arrived at 9:30am both the business hours on their web page & on the work place itself they were closed. It was very confusing why yall were not open when it's advertised that yall were supposed to be open. Unfortunately we're here for only a short time so we took our business elsewhere. We were very looking forward to trying out this place but hopefully it is a good spot for a good meal read more

Staff is friendly! Overall vibe is good. Breakfast food was good, except my pancakes weren't cooked all the way through... at all. I ordered them to attempt the Hungry Man challenge and was disappointed to say the least. My friends ordered omelets and the breakfast sampler and all enjoyed them! read more

First, when we got our utensils, only one of them had a knife. Secondly, the pancakes and sausage were hard and were impossible to cut even using the one knife we got. There was a hole in the seat and the sausage tasted like it was microwaved, the food was cold when it came out. The service and employees were amazing though. read more

First and foremost, if the coffee is clear enough to see to the bottom of your cup, there is a concern. That's exactly what they were serving here: hot cups of disappointment. We both ordered the western omelet and it was really well executed. Cooked well, good portion, ingredients seemed fresh. The biscuits were also top notch. However the gravy was bland and the hash browns were very dry and had a slightly strange taste. We were promptly seated and the server took our order as soon as we were ready. Another server brought our food to us and we didn't see any servers again until we were done eating. This restaurant is okay, but there are better options in the area. read more

Shady Oaks Restaurant - Weakest coffee I've ever been served. It was so weak, I could see to the bottom of the cup. - American Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

This place was advertised on Google Maps as "the best breakfast in OK" so we decided to stop here. We went in and were seated at a nice table. The walls and roof in the restaurant were made out of tin and the windows were blocked so I felt sort of caved in. The lady came back to take our order moments later. My group and I ordered our food and waited an hour to get it. Let me just say, it wasn't really worth the wait. My chicken wrap smelled odd, but it tasted okay, and the fries were not done all the way. One of my friends ordered the chicken strip basket and fries, but again the fries weren't done. The chicken was actually the best thing on the table. Someone else ordered the two egg plate + a pancake and was not pleased, as the large plate barely consisted of food and had very few potatoes, what looked like frozen sausage, and some scrambled eggs. Another person ordered an omelet, potato chunks and weak coffee. She also got a pancake, and yes it was large, but it was cold and dry. The waitress said they ran out of ham, so she ordered sausage on her omelet instead. When she got her plate, it had crunchy, overcooked potato chunks, and the sausage links in the omelet were gross and chopped up. Also, before we got our food, the people behind us got their food first -even though we were seated before them- just because the waiters knew the people. A bit of a disappointing experience, and we won't be back. Someone needs to change the description on Google Maps because this definitely is not the best breakfast in Oklahoma! read more

Burger was very good! The mushroom and swiss burger was a little bland. Fires were crinkle cut, not my favorite. Price was pretty high $14 for burger and fries. Service was good. read more

Our waitress was rude when explaining the menu to my group; however, our second waitress was great. On top of this, they gave us cold coffee and food; even my toast was cold! The silverware was dirty, and the tables were sticky. Overall, this place sucked. read more

We loved this burger spot during our trip to Broken Bow. The burgers are amazing! Service is great and very home like.

Great burgers! It was actually one of the best burgers we have had in a long time! Ingredients are very fresh. Sadly, it was obvious the crinkle fries were frozen. Wish they would make homemade fries. That would definitely give them a 5- tar rating! Quick service. Friendly wait staff. We did not get to try any of their pies. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

This restaurant is not fancy at all, but the food was delicious and very reasonably priced! We had bacon cheeseburger for dinner then the next day we went back for breakfast! Bacons were very crispy and just done right. I would definitely go back again if I'm in the area read more

Biggest bang for your buck in the area. Make sure if you're ordering the pancakes you know they are HUGE, so one might suffice. COVID restrictions were lax, which is why I docked a star-but a great meal regardless. I promise whatever you get you won't leave hungry. read more

Shady Oaks Restaurant - American Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

Very disappointing experience. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, at 1:27pm (yes, I checked, because I was shocked with what happened.) We were told that they weren't seating any additional customers as their closing time was 2pm. The restaurant was about half full. If they would have been empty, I would have understood! Dead afternoon, close a little early. But to turn customers away when you are 30+ minutes from closing, and obviously still serving customers is shocking and disappointing. read more

The wait staff was unprofessional and inattentive. We never got refills and they never came to check on us. You could tell the food had been sitting out for a while, as it came out fairly cold. The main waitress was not welcoming to our party and had us get our own high chairs, pass out our own waters, and distribute the menus. It was not a good experience for our family and we're sad to leave our vacation on that sour note. Skip this restaurant! read more

We waited over an hour to get a burger and a grilled chicken sandwich. When we finally got it, they were cold, great flavor but cold.... The restaurant wasn't even that busy. Although the service was good and they were very friendly, we didn't feel it was worth the wait. read more
