    Apple Barrel Restaurant Review We've now visited Apple Barrel twice, and both experiences have been excellent--this spot has officially made it onto our list of favorite places to eat! On this visit, we ordered: Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich - $12.99 Philly Cheese Chicken Sandwich - $12.99 Sunshine Cheeseburger - $13.99 Spinach & Mushroom Omelette - $11.99 And for dessert, the Strawberry Crepes - $9.99 (highly recommended!) Every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and served with a smile. The presentation was clean and inviting, and the portions were just right. The brewed iced tea was also perfectly made--refreshing and not overly sweet. What truly set this experience apart was the service. Our server, Shanon, was honest, kind, and incredibly attentive. We also noticed what we believe was the owner or the owner's son walking around, checking on tables and helping serve--making sure everyone was having a good experience. That personal touch goes a long way! The only small downside we noticed is that they only offer Pepsi soda products. We don't drink Pepsi and usually prefer Coke products when we do have soda. However, this doesn't change our opinion or experience one bit--this place is still absolutely wonderful. You can feel the positive energy in the restaurant; all the staff work together and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. The place has a calm, peaceful vibe--great for families or anyone just wanting a relaxed meal. Overall: 5+ stars. Thank you, Apple Barrel team, for the great food and even better service. We'll definitely be back with the whole family!

    After a long day of work, nothing beats some comfort food. As a general rule of thumb, comfort food is my type of food. Apple Barrel Cafe is right next to KseroGrill which is where I wanted to go initially but decided to give Apple Barrel Cafe a chance. The entree at Apple Barrel Cafe comes with a salad, soup, or Mac &cheese, a choice of 2 dinner sides, and a dinner roll. I got the chicken noodle soup which was good, taste similar to Campbell's. When the waitress brought out the chicken fried chicken with broccoli and cheese and mashed potato and gravy, she asked if I want a dinner roll. Strange...I thought it comes with the entree. Either way, I did not get it. Here's the thing with the chicken fried chicken, it's really decent. When you cut into it, the batter falls off the chicken breast. So you eat either the batter or the chicken breast. All the seasoning is in the batter making it salty and chicken breast by itself tastes like steamed or boiled chicken. Service is great apart from the not bringing the dinner roll with the entree. That's okay because I am too full for a dinner roll anyway. The restaurant is a lovely little place that has both indoor and outdoor seatings. It has a southern vibe which is always welcoming.

    Tried the salmon tonight and absolutely delicious my go here now is either western omelette and salmon filet it's just so delicious with big lemon slice. Hubby loved his cod filets as always , tonight the vegetable soup smelled and looked so good! Always friendly staff too and immediate service.

    We had heard a lot of good comments about this place so we wanted to give it a try. It was Saturday at 12:30, so they were fairly busy. But they seated us fast and took our order. Food arrived quickly and was delicious!! Will go back and try other things. Yum!!

    Sometimes you just gotta have comfort food. The Apple Barrel has it. My comfort food of choice is chicken fried chicken. That's what I got and it satisfied the craving. My plate contained a huge but thin slice of chicken with a thick crispy batter covered with white gravy. It barely left room on the plate for the mashed potatoes. Dan wasn't as hungry. He opted for a burger from the small meal menu. I love that they have section . We often split meals because we can't eat all of a regular meal and most places don't allow seniors to order from the children's menu. I hate left overs. Doesn't everyone? It never tastes as good reheated. The Apple Barrel has a solution for that. I was impressed by their diverse menu. You can get breakfast all day. There's some tempting things on the breakfast menu, including crepes. Monday through Friday, there's a short list of meals you can get for $16.99. Fiona was our server and gave us friendly service. You can even buy a whole pie to take home. It's been a long time since I've seen that. If you want comfort food, breakfast in the afternoon, a small meal, or a delicious homemade dessert, Apple Barrel is your place.

    61st & Mingo location. Party of six this morning at 9AM. Several large parties came in also and the staff accommodated all parties like a well oiled machine. I had a very good Spicy Chorizo Omelette, hash-browns with grilled onions and biscuits & gravy. Waters and coffees were refilled often with frequent check-backs. My bride really loves their strawberry crepes with cream cheese filling. We all left full and happy.

    Do you ever think, "I want a really good home-cooked meal but don't want to cook it"? Apple Barrel at 61st & Mingo is the place I go. We ordered breakfast & was happy to learn they serve it "ALL" day. I ordered the French Toast breakfast with egg whites & turkey bacon... every thing was great & low calorie. I don't know how you make egg whites good, but they were. My fruit bowl was fresh! My son ordered the Apple Farmers Combo & loved it all, especially the pancakes. He said they're the best he's ever had. It's clean, very friendly servers & a large TV on the wall. We will definitely be going back. NOTE* Rhonda & Samantha were our servers & we wanted for nothing. Our coffee was refilled before it got to the bottom every time. Very impressed with it all! Yum!

    We love cafes and diners. At Apple Barrel we felt really welcome; our , waitress Rachel was really sweet and friendly. My wife had the Pecan banana pancakes and did they were really good no had a couple of bites and she was right, they were delicious. I had the Eggs Benedict and home fries. Good but not spectacular. I am more in to Mexican type food such as huevos rancheros, which they do not have. They do have a breakfast burrito and southwest omelette. They hdo have a pretty good menu to choose from. The css as fe was spacious and very clean and beat. I would definitely recommend Apple Barrel Csfe.

Oof. Sweet, slightly savory, with a little crunch from the poppy seeds, and incredibly fluffy. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. The avocado toast was also top-tier, probably my favorite avocado toast I've ever had. The champagne vinaigrette, the sweet crushed tomatoes layered over the toasted bread, and the perfectly runny yolk from the over-medium eggs all came together beautifully. Everything was delicious. I'll be looking forward to my next visit whenever I'm back in Tulsa. The restaurant is massive, and I'm honestly surprised we were able to get a table. The wait was almost an hour, but we joined the waitlist online and ended up only being 22nd on the list!

It's a cool vibe to hang out with friends and enjoy brunch . Pros: lots of variety of foods to choose from and drink options especially if your health cautious . Cons: a lot of side items are à la carte so depending on what you order so you may end up paying more than your typical local cafe . You also need to get in early or sign up on a waitlist ahead of time if you don't want to wait long to eat.

They definitely have their own twist on things. The sweet potatoes were good but a little heavy on the nutmeg. They tasted like a mix of apple and pumpkin pie. The mac and cheese was really creamy. I really liked the horseradish coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of collard greens but I still tried them and actually thought they were pretty good. For our mains, two of us had the brisket and one had ribs. Both were super good. There were 4 different sauces. I recommend trying them all. I wanted to try the sausage but they were sold out. I guess you need to get there earlier than an hour before they closed. We finished with a couple desserts. The banana pudding was probably the best I've had. Their seasonal cobbler was blueberry and very tasty! I was hoping for peach. Maybe next time. Yes there will definitely be a next time. It was a lot of food so we had plenty left over that ate for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is super friendly and really clean. Like most barbecue places I've been to there is no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal. The staff were super nice and treated them just like any other customer. Great food! Great service! Great value! Do yourself a favor and try this place!

We ordered the tri tip dip sandwich which was the highlight of the meal. It was delicious. We also ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and that was full of flavor. The focaccia was on the dryer side and the chicken didn't fill out the bun so it was just kind of off texture wise and lacking fullness but the favor was 10/10. The chips and red onion dip were a nice little touch. Something I've never had before and we enjoyed it

I got chicken fried chicken and Dan got chicken fried steak. Both were good, but mine was better. That might be because I always prefer chicken fried chicken. The way the Brookside diner prepares chicken fried chicken is outstanding. I got a large piece of chicken that filled my plate. It was also thick. Some diners pound thin pieces of chicken to the point it's so thin that it is overdone in the time it takes to get the breading crisp. Not Brookside. They produce a perfect chicken fried chicken, nice and crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. I noticed a chalk board listing the specials. The day we were there, it was meatloaf. I also noticed some tempting deserts which I plan to get when I don't eat such a large meal. I enjoyed my experience at the Brookside Diner. Looking forward to our next visit.

I was not disappointed but unfortunately not greatly impressed. The CFS was adequate. Not too tough but not as tender as could have been hoped. Not bad but not impressive. The biscuit was a standard store bought style biscuit. It was fine. The gravy was its match creamy and peppery but not too much of either a standard biscuit and gravy. The hash browns were not crispy but were otherwise cooked through. A little more time on the grill and a little salt would have made them great. They are serving food at a level of skill that is impressive in its consistency of quality. Not an easy feat as many similar restaurants demonstrate. It is unfortunate that the level of quality is mediocre. I will come back to try other fare.

I ordered the grilled chicken breast entree with 2 sides (Salad, no tomatoes and Mac and cheese). As you can see from photo it came with side salad and mash potatoes and gravy. Small misunderstanding and they fixed wby bringing me a side of mac and cheese. The chicken breast was seasoned really well, it was slightly overcooked and dry but flavor was great. The mashed potatoes were definitely homemade they have small chunks in them but not to much as someone who does not like the texture of chunky mashed potatoes it was so small it was no big deal. Lived them and the gravy. The Mac and cheese, was good, loved that it was not watery like so many places, I did not need to add any salt. I don't like putting salt on my food but so many places I order Mac and cheese it is bland and I need to add salt. Here I did not. The salad was a great mixture and the ranch dressing was the good ranch dressing !! Miguel was there and working right along with all the other workers. I love when an owner is that involved. He did talk with us about our input. This is a new place and I know some of the cooks are learning. We will definitely be going back. I love being able to support local businesses. I'm giving it a 4 right now but I'm sure as this place is open longer it will be a 5.
