    Eggs, bacon, and grits
    Sonia C.

    We came in one morning because we have never tried the food and it was a little disappointing. Everything was pretty much prepackaged food. And you can definitely taste it. The grits were still a little grainy like it wasn't cooked all the way. The biscuits and gravy was the most decent meal there. Their syrup was not sweet at all. We had to put sugar on our pancakes. I was really hoping to have found a hole in the wall for breakfast. The place is a small cute diner. The service was great!

    French toast 6 slices..also comes in 4 slices

    Why on earth would Yelp indicate this place is closed. People are missing out of the local food. I cam to this place when I went to school here in the early 2000's. I knew the food was good then and it surprised me a bit now how actually good it truly is. I always get thr French toast, eggs and bacon so I can't say much about the other items. All i know is that people would always order the same stuff and that was mine. I am glad I had the chance to come back to this place and I would recommend it for anyone else in Orange Country. Also, this place is open from 6am till 9pm..it's NOT closed.

    Under the stove

    When I am inside the area. I noticed there is problem with the cooker thar hasn't wash hand. That guy keep dirty on hand while he whip his mouth. The order I got is 2/10 rate taste okay. The problem that they didn't clean the under stove that has very dirty. The fan hasn't clean, the floor in kitchen is super dirty. Plus the employer(cooker) is play with kids in back room. They never wash hand before cooking or clean.

    If you want comfort food, this is one of my favorites. Definitely not a place to go if you are wanting to eat healthy. I've never gotten anything but the chicken fried steak here which my friends and I nicked named "the frisbee" because of its size. I used to go there in college 30ish years ago and went again recently. Nothing has changed. I mean, literally nothing. Same booths, light fixtures, counter. Still good.

    This reminds me of a little hole in the wall diner but I don't mean that in a bad way. Food was great and staff was very accommodating. They had a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. I do believe they are open 24/7....so great for those late night munchies too! We had the following and they were yummy. Biscuits and gravy - there wasn't any sausage in the gravy but my husband said the seasonings were fabulous and he's picky so that means a lot! I'm sure you could request sausage to be added or just order a side of sausage patties. We were here a few different times and ordered the make your own omelette using ingredients like jalapenos, sausage, bacon, ham, cheese, onions, peppers, etc. You definitely get your moneys worth on the volume. For toast options: You can choose from white, wheat or rye toast A few other menu items of mention are: chicken fried steak, burgers, breakfast including pancakes and French toast. During different trips we had both pancakes and french toast and they were both great. You can also choose from grits or hashbrowns. Both were great. This is a great little find for cheap and good breakfast. It was busy every day and I can see it is definitely a fan favorite for the local older group.

    The food is great? Prices are great! The place is small so it can get very crowded at times but it gives you more of that home cooked food.

    I don't believe that I have ever had a bad meal at any restaurant that had the name "Granny" in it…read more Granny's Kitchen did not disappoint. Located on the SE corner 7th and Main St. in downtown Stillwater, in a nicely remodeled brick building. Inside, the restaurant is smartly decorated in a modern décor mixed with a connection to the past. Between the tee shirts that are for sale, historical pictures and a few artifacts representing rural farm life hang on the walls. In a few areas of the walls, the original brick work is exposed, but masked with a coat of paint. The building's true age shows through the makeup. The chaotic conglomeration of bricks testify that masonry skills and craftsmanship were not required of the builder, when the original structure was erected. Building codes likely not in vogue either. A work of historical beauty. On street parking. And directly behind the restaurant, on the east side, is a parking lot. On a busy weekend parking could be a challenge. Somewhat of a tourist attraction. Souvenirs for the out of towners are prominently on display for purchase. A bar is available to help celebrate yesterday's team victory or numb the pain of defeat. Patio seating is available. Breakfast was perfect. My usual. The picture describes the food. The friendly attentive wait staff keeps your coffee cup full. What else can I say it's, "Granny's" Kitchen.

I told the server it was my first time, and she recommended a great meal and gave me a cinnamon roll. Warm and sticky. The meals are large; they said they make them large because it's a college town, and they want to give the kids leftovers. The restaurant is in the downtown area, with plenty of parking. Although the restaurant seems to be a chain, the staff and the food were excellent, so give it a shot. I would absolutely come back.

My family went here…read morefor dinner on New Years Eve - we thought we'd encounter a huge wait like we have in the past, but surprisingly they were able to sit us right away. I do recommend checking the waitlist they have on their website if you plan to dine here - it just gives you a good idea of how long the wait will be and you can also add your party to the waitlist before you arrive so you aren't just standing around waiting for 30 minutes to an hour, this location gets pretty packed some nights. The restaurant itself is pretty big, it's been the same for as long as I can remember and I like that about it. It isn't super trendy or chic, it's got the wooden floors and pool tables and it just reminds me of Oklahoma if that makes sense at all. Our server was super nice, he was on top of everything and had a great attitude. I ordered the frito chili pie - mostly for the fact that I live in Florida now and I don't know of anywhere else that I can order that, it's a nostalgic thing for me for sure. I also had a side cesar salad - no complaints there either. The food has always been good for every time I've visited here. You have to check out the gift shop as well while you're here - you can't go to Eskimo Joe's and not bring home a cup, or shirt, or sweater, or koosie showing the world that you've been there lol The gift shop really is one of our favorite parts about eating here. Our kitchen cabinet has stacks of these Eskimo Joe's cups (which is great for a house with kids) and every member of the family has an Eskimo Joe's shirt...we love it here and will definitely be back.
