Went there yesterday for our first and had the chicken fried chicken because their chicken tenders were frozen. It was a very small piece of chicken and it was not a real chicken breast but a frozen patty. The pinto beans and mashed potatoes were homemade and wonderful. The gravy was delicious! The fried okra could have been more crispy brown for my taste but I will ask for that next time. My husband enjoyed his mushroom burger and onion rings. I'll try the breakfast next time. Service impeccable and entertaining. read more

Definitely worth going to eat here. The daily special is a great deal and the breakfast I've eaten there in the past was damn good. Great place to eat, it's jot fast food and priced well. read more

I've been for breakfast twice and food is really good! There are not many diners here in Sallisaw. This is by far my favorite for breakfast. I suppose sooner or later I need to try it for lunch/dinner. Not much to look at inside in the staff is fairly friendly, but it is quick service. read more

The food is never hot if they even have it. I've ordered their special only to be told after I ordered and was waiting for at least 10 minutes to let me know they were out. Ordered a BLT and there was no bacon on it. Our server complained the whole time we were there. read more

I ordered this through door dash so I have not visited the location yet. You may order your two eggs any way you like them so I requested over medium and that's exactly what I got. The biscuits and gravy were amazing, the hasbtowns were fresh and hot. I really enjoyed this breakfast. read more

Blue Ribbon Diner - Two egg breakfast with biscuits and gray, hashbrowns and no meat. - Southern Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Like stepping into a movie set for anywhere USA! The decor and atmosphere is very '88. "How are you doing sweet pea!?". "Would you like some more coffee Hunny?". This place is personal and welcoming. The food is very good. This is my second visit in 3 year's traveling across the country because the pancakes really wowed me! How do they do it!? I don't know, but I will be back again. Sadly, the Blue Jay Inn & Suites stopped offering a breakfast here with a room rental, but the business, the retiree fan club with their heater-year banter, make this a real Gem right along the highway. Cheers! read more

Great food and service. We really enjoyed our food and drinks. The staff was amazing very friendly people

Pancakes were edible, that's about it, waitress seemed dry and seemed like she didn't want to be there. steak was undercooked Tables weren't clean and there were crumbs everywhere on the table. There was nobody here and now I see why. I better not see this place on a kitchen nightmares episode, yet I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Place looked like it was ran down even for a diner. read more

Just off I40 in Sallisaw, worth the little detour. Very clean and friendly little country diner. Good service. Both our dishes were really good. read more

This place is Awesome! It won my award for best breakfast on the road. Definitely worth the one mile drive off of Interstate 40. The country fried potatoes were excellent. Ham breakfast platter was delicious. Wait staff is friendly and kind. Don't miss this diner. read more

Pretty dang good little hole-in-the-wall diner. Can't remember our server's name (don't even know if I got it), but she was as nice as could be. Didn't seem fake about it either, just good ole southern hospitality. For 11 buckaroos I got myself an ultimate omelette with toast, gravy, and hash browns. Made with three eggs, veggies, a heap of meat, cheese, and a dash of love, this omelette was well worth the money. Stuck to my ribs and considering I had a late lunch, I'm figuring I'll be full until breakfast. I love finding little places like this. Down-home cooking served hot and real quick like. I only gave it four stars cause my wife is kind of picky. She ordered a hot ham and cheese with onion rings and mozzarella sticks. She said everything was too salty and the ranch was "chunky". Like I said, she's got the palette of a toddler. read more

A really nice and welcoming lady helped us with our meal!!! She is awesome and set up the tone for this very good breakfast experience! It is worth the detour from I40 to eat at this gem in eastern Oklahoma!!! Chicken fried steak is super good!!! read more

Don't let the size fool you! This was our first time to eat here and we totally enjoyed our breakfast.! Their traditional eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy was so good. Their Oklahoma Cowboy hash browns skillet was really yummy! We will definitely want to stop by again when traveling through Oklahoma. read more

Filthy. Had to keep our purses in our laps due to the bugs crawling on the floor. Food was cold and flavorless. Only positive was our waitress. She was friendly and efficient. read more

Absolutely filthy. There would have been fewer flies outside. Small patty on the burgers and they were over cooked. Waitress was lovely. That was the only positive. read more

Service was exemplary, waitress was consistently checking on us and all her customers. Cook had trouble getting orders straight, green beans instead of okra. White gravy instead of brown but what was served was good. read more

This is a great spot to stop for lunch/dinner if traveling I-40. A very nice gentleman who owns the motel and diner let us park at the motel and walk over. He was so friendly and welcoming. We tried the catfish special. $6.99 for a 2 piece catfish, 2 hush puppies, 2 sides. The cat fish was perfectly fried, very light coating and not greasy at all! So flaky and light. The hush puppies were huge and crispy. We picked coleslaw and pinto beans for our sides. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp. Not sweet at all. The pinto beans were some of the best beans we've tasted. Very good flavor and texture. The servers were attentive and helpful with menu questions. We brought the leftovers with us and they were just as good the next day. I wish we would have ordered extra hush puppies to go! Thank you for the great experience! read more

The place is just a small dinner off the highway, but don't be fooled by the outside appearance! The service was fast and friendly! They serve breakfast all day. They also have down home daily specials, such as beans, corn bread and fried potatoes. My other half ordered 2 eggs over medium with chicken fried steak with white country gravy, hash browns and biscuit and gravy. I ordered a single biscuit with sausage gravy and a side of sausage. Both meals were very good. The sausage was cooked just right as well as the eggs. The biscuits were light and not too big. The chicken fried steak was fork tender, but not the best one we've had in our travels. This was the best breakfast value we have found on our travels, less than $20 including tip for the 2 of us. We would stop again if we needed to get fueled up again. read more

Food OK. Service not good. Lacked warmth with guests and patience with children. Attentive to table not people on it. Disappointing. Pros: Pancakes huge. Western omelette thin but good flavor with peppers and onions inside and good chunks of ham. Hash browns and salsa tasty. Big portions. Fun trivia on table. Cons: Kids didn't touch their chocolate milk. Said it tasted like coffee? Biscuit was dense not fluffy. Pancakes huge. Coffee weak. Summary: will come again but will sadly lower expectations. read more

Blue Ribbon Diner - Trivia part of table. Cool. - Southern Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Would give zero stars if I could. We went to the diner and orders food to go, asked if she double checked the order she said yes. Got home, was missing items, plus we had ordered 2 orders of fried mushrooms and each box only had 6 in them, so I called and she like what do you want me to do, that's just how it goes. Will not be going back. Spent 65 dollars there for burnt pancakes half the food and fries that not kidding tasted like pickles. read more

This place was pretty good. We had burgers, which were better than average. We had fried mushrooms as an appetizer, and they were excellent! Our fries were not hot or tasty. read more

Food is not bad it is a hangout for some of the locals. Good service. Only ate breakfast there it was acceptable. Bit of an older establishment and it shows. Very inexpensive. read more

Nice, homey restaurant. Good basic food, cream pies for dessert. Friendly waitresses. Definitely would return if I am in the area.

Great little place we stopped for breakfast/lunch. The service was fine and food good. The baker at this place has their craft dialed in top notch. The biscuit with gravy and dinner roll were house made deliciousness. You could definitely taste the love this person has for baked goods. read more

We're on a road trip to Arkansas and wanted to eat someplace local - so we tried out Blue Ribbon. It definitely has a small town, kind of hokey style to the food but it was good. We got a breakfast burrito that was served flat and griddled, a little weird, but full of good toppings. They did forget the egg at first but then brought out scrambled eggs to add to the burrito. We also got the chicken tenders plate with mashed potatoes and green beans. The potatoes weren't instant (yay!) and were pretty good and the chicken was hand battered and very crunchy and very tasty. The chicken tenders were the best thing we ordered. Not the cleanest place but serviceable. A good option close to I-40 if you're driving through. read more

Ate here Labor Day. It was not too crowded, and was not our 1st choice. We came in from out of down, as we pass through Sallisaw several times a year, and typically stop at Charlie's Chicken or Wildhorse Mtn. BBQ. Both were closed, and we were so hungry and popped in to check out this diner. BEST IDEA EVER! there were 5 of us-- and we all were extremely satisfied! Catfish was amazing, BLT was deeeeelish, and chef salad , omelette and patty melt ... well, there were no crumbs left I assure you. DEFINITELY recommend it if you want good home cooked food ... but not greasy. read more

The service was bad, the food was barely edible but the worst was the flies. They were swarming everything and everyone inside. Disgusting.

The wife and I were on a 3 day motorcycle ride. This was the highlight meal of the trip! If you are in or near Sallisaw, Ok in the morning, go a few minutes out of your way to get breakfast here! The eggs and bacon were great! The biscuits and gravy, good, just not the best I've ever had. If they stepped this up a bit, 5 star ALL THE WAY. Now for the best part - the service and atmosphere! The sweet waitress working knew most everyone by name (us - the out of Towners excluded!). Talking with everyone with a smile on her face, not missing a beat or order in service! She was FANTASTIC and made this stop a jewel! The patrons - interesting! With that, I leave you with this - I don't always tip 100%+, but when I do, you can be sure the service was fantastic! read more

Solid, friendly, and tiny family-friendly diner. Blue Ribbon would normally get three stars for average ingredients, yet well-made food, but I am going to give it four stars because the price was so damn reasonable. I can't even get out of McDonalds for less than $7 these days, but Blue Ribbon delivered an entire pancakes/eggs/bacon/coffee breakfast for $9.50. Well done. read more

Passing thru and found this diner on Yelp so decided to give it a try. It was well worth the stop. Friendly waitress and staff. The food was very good.

We ate here with our 2 picky boys on the way back to Tulsa from Broken Bow. In the words of my 9 year old, "that menu did not disappoint." Great burgers, fries, and chicken! read more

AOK! Greasy spoon diner food with gems like fresh, fluffy biscuits, handmade pie and crispy waffles. We didn't try the pie, but I was impressed with the waitress's enthusiasm for the baker. Fried pie available too! We enjoyed authentic roadtrip breakfast in a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere. A local spot with generous portions. The bacon was super greasy and stayed with us a while, but the has browns are delish and the sausage gravy was flavorfully good! Friendly, fast and culturally authentic to the area. Good times! read more
