    If you happen to be facing some Jail Time and the judge asks where you want to serve it, ask for the Vera Jail. They don't lock the door and it is right next to a very good café. Delicious jail food like you have never tasted. There is nothing more relaxing and beautiful, than driving the back roads of Oklahoma on a cool crisp fall morning. Even better if your destination is a small-town café. You step out of the truck and smell the invigorating fresh air, mixed with a hint of cow pasture and a whiff of smoke from the rural home's fireplaces. Country breakfast and hospitality is about to be served up with a fresh cup of coffee. Step inside. Your first task is to pick your drink. Coffee is brewing to your right, sodas and other cold drinks are in the coolers on the north wall (left side). Make your selection, then grab a seat at one of the big wood slab tables. Don't be in a hurry. You will have enough time to pick out your breakfast and change your mind several times before the friendly young lady shows up to take your order. Simple pancake and bacon for my wife. A version of my favorite breakfast for me. (check the pictures) When the young lady heads to the kitchen your order will be out soon. Very good food. Comfortable, real laid-back atmosphere. Friendly service. If you lived here, you'd be dining with your neighbors. I love these places. The burgers are rated as the "bomb!" When you are ready to leave, pay the head jailer up front. He's been keeping an eye on you the whole time. Pay your fine, with a generous tip and go on about your life. Oh, you do know where Vera is, right?

    The food was great!! My daughter and I shared a burger and curly fries. The burger was delicious and the curly fries had the perfect crunch! Our waitress was extremely sweet and very attentive! I can't recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back!!

    The Son and I made the 10 mile-ish trip to Vera for lunch just to try out the Jail. This place is wide open, with three long trestle tables for dining. A cool fact about those tables, if you notice, they are all three single slab, live edge pieces of wood. That's impressive. Now, on to the food. Burger and tots were the order of the day for me, while The Son went with the venerable Chicken Fried Steak. As for my burger, it was outstanding. Patties nice and thin with a great crust, insides piled high amid gooey cheese. Tots were cooked to perfection as well. The Son's CFS was also well made. Fork tender beef with a flavorful battered crust on the outside, and a decent sized bowl of gravy to cover the steak and a little extra for the fries. Our server was friendly as all get out, in spite of being on the literal verge of delivering her first kid. Well worth the drive up to Vera, but I'd for sure plug the place into your map app, because once in Vera, it's not all that easy to find.

    First timer, very happy I stopped in! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Got the Big Daddy Burger & curly fries. Both were very, very good. Will stop in again next time I'm in the area!

The Crescent Café was not our destination this Monday. We were headed to the Brown Cow Diner. An empty parking lot greeted us, they are closed on Mondays. We turned around had headed back to Highway 75 to implement plan "B." My wife spotted the Crescent Café's open sign on the corner of Rogers Blvd and Osage. Another U-turn, a parking spot was waiting for us just outside the café's door on South Osage. A few steps to the front door, we are in a comfortable booth, menu in hand and drinks on the way. The local fire fighters were already in the restaurant enjoying hearty breakfasts. The café has a big menu with any combination of breakfast or breakfast item you can think of. I ordered my breakfast, 2 eggs sunny side up, bacon and hashbrowns, both crisp with a biscuit and gravy on the side. It took me a while to find it on the menu. It is called Something Lighter, if you can believe that. My wife went with what I call a salad omelet. Fresh spinach, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato and cheese cooked up in three fluffy eggs, perfect hashbrowns and a biscuit and gravy on the side. These were two wonderful breakfasts cooked up exactly as ordered. Wonderful food, fast friendly service, in a clean comfortable restaurant and Fire Fighter Approved!

If coffee is your thing, this is your place. service: Everyone we interacted with was professional and helpful. Excellent recommendations and attentive service. food: Based on staff recommendations, my wife had the club panini with pasta salad and I had the chicken salad with chips. Both sandwiches were prepared to order and served quickly. My wife bought a couple of cookies from the case near the cashier. Everything we had was excellent. space: We didn't expect to find such a cool space. This is a former storefront with high, pressed tin ceiling and what appears to be original flooring. In addition, it's great to see such a cross section of diners. The place has a welcoming neighborhood vibe. There are shirts, ceramics, and other items for sale along one wall. details: Downtown Parsons has plenty of surface parking both along Main Street and in a public parking lot on the North side of the building. There were diners at every table; however, some tables are large so we shared with another person.

First for 8 bucks, the sandwich had barely any salad in it. did not come with tomato or lettuce and no cheese? This place would be so awesome if they had more variety with choices and not scrimp on what they put between two slices of bread. Highly disappointed to say the least. However, the staff is awesome and friendly and makes up for the weak sandwiches. I want to show this place how to make an awesome sandwich!

Seat yourself, a waitress quickly stopped by with menus and took a drink order. The menu is pretty big and includes breakfast and a kids menu. I ordered hot tea and am so happy to have received a cup of tea with a pot of tea back-up! Yes, all the tea please. The lemons on the side added to my tea joy. It's the small things. My SO ordered himself an open faced roastbeef sandwich. This is shredded roast on top of a sweet roll smothered in gravy with a side of mashed potato. He certainly ate it like it was tasty. (I did confirm - it is tasty.) I went with an a la carte breakfast of two eggs and one pancake. The pancake had a slightly sweet taste and is fluffy. The eggs were cooked perfectly 'over easy'. You can tell they are cooked as eggs should be over a low heat - no scorch marks on the outer edge. Bathrooms are in the back left corner and are cleanest where it matters most. Diaper station in the ladies room. During our visit many of the guests knew each other and chatted amongst themselves. All the staff we came in contact with were friendly. They kept a close eye on all the guests making sure everyone had everything they needed. All together a good stop.
