What better way to start a 9 hour road trip than with a breakfast burger in the middle of Oklahoma! An expected gem. Diamond in the rough if you will. If Oklahoma is an egg, what about bobs is the yolk. read more

My small party of friends were attending a meeting in McAlester Ok. We wanted to find a lunch venue close to our meeting location on a Saturday. Surprisingly several food establishments were closed on Saturdays in the area. We luckily noted What About Bobs. It was very clean and not crowded. The menu was great and seemed to be a locals establishment. Very simple decor and friendly staff. The food was good and timely. We will return. read more

Stopped in on our way thru town for breakfast. I had the Ultimate Meat and Cheese Omelette, which was just ok. Service was great - timely and friendly. This neighborhood establishment is a bit tired inside - but clean. Glad we stopped. read more

Award Winner of McAlester's BEST BREAKFAST! It is good and you can have breakfast all day! Two sunny side, bacon, hashbrowns, one biscuit with gravy. Their menu covers burgers, wraps, salads and sandwiches in addition to the big breakfast selection. The atmosphere and décor are that of a genuine small town Oklahoma diner. Good coffee, fast friendly service. read more

Service is good always a waitress willing to help my issue was food was cold alot when. We came

This place makes you reminisce and step back in time to old school diners. very casual, friendly staff, still has the glass room that was used in the 90's for smokers lol of corse mow clean and just a nostalgic look. Appeared to be a local's place however we felt welcome.. full menu and they will change anything to make the plate just how you want it. We had chicken fried chicken and ordered a side of sausage gravy just because I wanted to taste it also and it was yummy. Coffee was good diner coffee. Price was reasonable. I guess the only reason I didn't give it a five star is because some of the things they use are instant or out of a box but it appeared that most were homemade. I definitely would come back! read more

Food was hot and quick. Reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and get your needs taken care quickly.

AMAZINGGGG breakfast!! The best ever actually! The service is phenomenal, everyone is super welcoming and kind. The breakfast was amazing and my boyfriend and I agree these are the BEST pancakes we've ever had. Our server was Neeley, an absolute sweetheart and gem of a person. It's a perfect home town feel meal that you'd never expect. 10/10 I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Breakfast burger and well done hashbrowns (I asked for well dome and they delivered!). The burger was awesome - juicy, well-seasoned, and nicely cooked. With egg and cheese melted on top and crispy bacon to make it perfection. I wish I was eating it right now! read more

Very popular local eatery for a reason. No, it is not fancy but the food is great and the service is even better. Eight of us had breakfast here. There was a large selection on the menu. Our coffee mugs were kept full and the meals came out quickly and were very hot. Prices were very reasonable and everyone enjoyed their meals. Great place! read more

I ordered a regular old breakfast with coffee. Everything was delicious. So far, this is the only place I'll eat at again in McAlester!!!! The staff was friendly and checked on us just the right amount of times. The place looks old so you know it's going to be good. Did I mention breakfast for two with an extra side was only $20?!!??!!!!! Like, where they do that at? Perfect!!! read more

Wonderful little slice of Americana! Outstanding service, coffee I ahead filled freshly brewed. Breakfast was very tasty...great place to get fueled up for the road! read more

Before I left MacAlester I wanted a local place that served a good breakfast. I found What About Bob's and even though it was a bit out of the way but found a pretty packed parking lot so I thought it was a good sign. It's definitely a place for locals and I didn't feel unwelcome but I didn't get the friendliness that other reviews here mentioned. They were polite and all but it was very perfunctory, like they were going off a checklist. I got their local specialty, the Sunrise Surprise which was ok. Good, but nothing to go out of my way for. It was kind of like Waffle House's hash browns all the way, but easier on the stomach. read more

DELICIOUS food and great service!! It was off the main road a tad and very worth the small detour. If ever I drive through this town again, I'll be sure to stop in read more

Restaurant is popular with local people. Seems that many dine at this restaurant day after day. Was there at 10 AM on a weekday in the summer. There are two dining rooms. One dining room is 15 degrees cooler than the other. Apparently the air conditioning did not work in our dining room. The parking lot was full and most tables were taken in the restaurant. There is no music and no television. They give an un-fancy menu. Had a hot roast beef sandwich. It came with a lot of bread and a small amount of meat. (2 stars). The French fries were average. (3 stars). Had pancakes. They were good. (4 stars). My friend had a chicken fried steak that he liked. (4 stars). All three of us shared biscuits and gravy. They were good. Everything was hot. It seems that the breakfast foods were better than the other foods. The service was average to good. It was busy there. The bathroom was clean. Considering that I have eaten at other local restaurants that were five star, I would not eat there again. There are better places to eat in McAlester, OK. read more

Good country cooking and very nice wait staff. Large portions as well. Our waitress was very personable.

Tired old place, needs a rehab. Breakfast was decent. A joint this size should make their own gravy. Pancakes too sweet. They have good sized portions. read more

Love this place. You may have to wait for a table, but it's gonna be worth it. Breakfast with coffee is under $10. Leave a good tip. Decor is dated, but you can't eat that. read more

Gravy, omelette, sausage, biscuit, breakfast scramble were all excellent. The biscuits were homemade yumminess. I had sausage in my omelette and it was very flavorful. We were very surprised to find somewhere this good randomly in McAlester. read more

Excellent Breakfast with exceptional service. Local owned restaurant! Kind off of the beaten path on the old hwy. read more

Great place to eat!!! We were there on a Sunday morning on our way to the Talimena scenic drive and stopped here for breakfast. We went in at about 8:30 am or 9 am. The place was packed!!! Saw a bunch of local folks there and that is always a very good sign. Our server (I think her name was Marigand) was extremely polite and courteous with a very pleasant smile all the time. Food was great and came out quick. I had the omelet (was delicious) and my son had french toasts (was good too) and two water - nothing fancy. But the overall experience was very good. The total bill was like $20 - which is really cheap. Would definitely go back there again. read more

Quaint lil' breakfast/lunch place. Super nice and friendly staff. Unfortunately, maybe it was just the cook, but the food was only "meh" at best. I make a better scramble than what they serviced me. Might give them a second chance. One day. read more

Friendly service and great prices! I was traveling through and found this place on Yelp and was happy I did.

One of the best Breakfast around! The staff is amazing! Just ask them and they will help you find the best breakfast! I would post pictures, unfortunately I always forget until I'm about finished lol read more

I mean, I could not ask for more-- we were looking for a good restaurant for lunch on our road trip through Oklahoma. A good kids menu was clutch to please our 8yo and 2yo and WAB's delivered. They got nuggets, fries, and fruit (though Mac and cheese or a turkey sandwich were contenders). I had a great chopped salad with fresh crunchy lettuce, and the hubs had a burger with mushrooms and bacon that was delicious. Fries cooked to perfection. Staff were super nice, place was clean including bathrooms, and the food came out quickly (again clutch for the kids). Ps we paired this with Chadwick Park for the best pit stop to refresh our trip (see my review, I'm amazed at the playground) read more

Great, home cooked food. Super quick and friendly service. Super cheap! We pulled off here while on a road trip and were not disappointed! If you need a good breakfast or lunch stop this is it. The biscuits and gravy were so good. read more

Went for the highly recommended breakfast and we were not disappointed. Eggs over medium cooked perfectly. The sausage and bacon were delicious. But the pancakes were the unexpected star of the show. Soooooo good! Service was great and price was good. read more

Best breakfast place in town and the service is immaculate!! Always good to go in there

They were busy and service was a little slow. The food was great. My husband and I both had breakfast. They were out of jalapeño which made me sad for my omelet. Overall good food and good experience at a reasonable price. We were on our way to vacation but would eat here again if we were in the area. read more

Stopped by for breakfast on Memorial Day weekend. Waitress was cheerful, efficient, and did an excellent job. Other waitress made sure coffee was topped off and checked on us as well. Excellent service. 7:30 in the morning almost all of tables had people sitting at them. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Sausage gravy out of this world. Prices more then reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

I came here because I wanted diner food and I appreciated the name. The interior was just an old diner-type place, so very on brand. The service was good. The food was just okay and the coffee was burnt. But I got my diner food fix so I'm good to go. read more

Great service, amazing food and prices, small diner atmosphere. You can have sausage and bacon as breakfast side items.
