Waffles made fresh at order, topped with a dizzying selection of fruits & sauces, or even just plain for all you vanilla types (like me). Make yours a breakfast platter if you wish, heaping some eggs and other proteins alongside your waffle, and when paired with their fresh coffee, you are the new Sheriff of Flavortown. The service can't be beat. Aside from the friendly suggestions for rookies (we're easy to spot), the food comes fast and fresh and your coffee cup never finds a bottom. Shoutout to Angel who steered the boy towards the Strawberry Cheese Cake waffle, all of which he destroyed in about three bites. I opted for a plain ol' waffle so I could take their syrups for a spin and that was a smart play. If you've had 'pancake syrup' and then stepped up to pure maple syrup, then you know there is no going back. Toss in their cinnamon-vanilla syrup (drool) or their silky-sweet 'Waffle Sauce' (it's almost like a thinner frosting) and you can divide a waffle into separate quadrants of different tastes. Pricing is pretty reasonable but the value outpaces the price point. Eat inside if you wish or, Oklahoma weather permitting, find a spot just out front. Just Wafflin' mixes Oklahoma nice with outstanding food with different twists to make a wonderful breakfast spot. If there were more stars to give, then I'd be using them all.

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.

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.

OSBC also has a vast selection of premium bagels with all the toppings you can think off. Try to mix and match a little for your taste! Amongst favorites are Mile High - a good selection of meats with some tomatoes and lettuce. Veggie with extra turkey - you always get loaded up with the ingredients, and you still don't pay much extra when you add on - good mix of greens (sprouts, cucumber, carrots). And lastly: Turkey Pesto. This a good standard one, with some good turkey. As mentioned - you get loaded with ingredients.

First I'd love to say. The restaurant is beautiful! Really clean. Really appealing. But the food was 1/10. I couldn't understand my waiter. Rice came out cold and hard. My soda was mostly sparkling water. The sesame chicken smelled like wet dog and was super tough. My fiancés Bangkok fried rice had a horrible beginning flavor. Also smelled gross. We were kind and asked for To go container for the chickens at home. We never got the to go containers. The lady up front asked if the food was good and I kindly said no, we both disliked the food. And she walked away and had someone else check us out. We still paid the full amount even after we only took a few bites and truly couldn't eat any More without gagging. This place gets a 1/10 for food. 5/10 service. 10/10 aesthetic I downloaded yelp just for this review. read more

I smother it in the sweet sauce given to you once your meat is served and wrap it in cabbage, and it's just to die for. I always leave having eaten too much food, but incredibly satisfied. This place is definitely an acquired taste, and you have to find the meat (and broth/sauce combos) that's right for you. I love that they give cabbage instead of lettuce (unlike many hotpot places). You can also reorder rice and not be charged for it! So great!! The environment is low-lit and comfy; it looks a little old in there. The service has always been so great, with waiters/waitresses that are so patient and more than willing to walk you through the menu. I've never waited for very long there, either. It's always been a great and positive experience. The pricing is on the higher side, and for a college student, that isn't ideal. I usually eat here once a month, or more if I can afford it. I'd eat it daily if I could, seriously. That would be my only complaint about the restaurant. But in this economy, I don't blame them. Overall, if I could eat this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I would. Seriously, it's that good.
