Brookside Diner graciously took in a party of 14 on college graduation day and the entire team did an amazing job! We were welcomed by the manager and Reima our waitress was very sweet and helpful! We all decided on breakfast and it was definitely a great choice...steak and eggs, burgers, grits, omelette, skillet meals, you name it we ordered it! We all ate until we were full and still had enough to take home. Best diner spot in Tulsa! read more

We finally visited this midtown icon we've been hearing about since we moved to Tulsa. Now we know why Tulsa natives rave about it. It had a busy and happy atmosphere. We could tell there were a lot of repeat customers. The diners were enjoying their food and the servers seemed happy to be there. They seemed to enjoy talking to their regulars. 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. read more

I usually do not complain but me and my girl just ordered two meat lovers skillets with toast and a drink. When we got our food we recieved on skillet not the meat lovers eggs are fried hard not over medium no toast got a biscuit no gravy instead. The other is an omelette of some random variety no toast a pancake instead. To make everything worse it's all extremely cold. Seems like it was prepared last night. It's all like dried out type cold. I'm not sure you could so thoroughly mess up every single thing about an order if it was planned ahead of time. Not one single thing was right and what did show up is inedible. I will never spend money with this place again. In fact I would not recommend this to somebody I dislike. Worst experience with any restaurant ever in Tulsa. I think I'm going to ad this review to any place that I can just because this has been such a terrible experience. Really unless you enjoy gambling with your health and food and possible allergies I would never suggest ordering from brookside diner. Really disappointing. read more

The Brookside location staff was great. Ordered fish/chips - the fish was nothing more then frozen fish patties (Wal-Mart frozen fish would be better then this). The fries were over done. Had an upset stomach after I left. Won't be going back. read more

Fun and popular place for lunch, quite busy on a Sunday morning. Excellent service all around. We both got the 2X2X2 breakfast - 2 eggs, your choice of 2 bacon or 2 sausage and 2 pancakes. Also includes hash browns or home fries. It was all delicious. Very generous portions. I'm sure we'll be going back soon. read more

While driving down South Peoria (Brookside) we noticed Brookside Diner. It was close to dinner time and thought we would give it a try. I'm glad we did. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating. Our waitress was one of the best we've ever had. I did not get her name, she was friendly with a sense of humor and seemed to really enjoy her job. We ordered onion rings as appetizer. Onion rings are fresh made not store bought. My wife ordered grilled pork chops with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and brown beans. We both were surprised at the size of the pork chops and chicken fried steak. The dinner rolls are homemade. We both enjoyed our dinner. And had enough to take home for another meal. I'm sure we will be coming back again the next time we are in the neighborhood. read more

Good breakfast! Service was great, Waitstaff is friendly. Lots of people, so I thought it must be great and it was. Bacon was overcooked but that's ok, I'm not a huge bacon eater. I'll be back! read more

My wife and I both were thinking about a salad today for lunch. A salad with crispy chicken. And not a fast-food franchise salad. I wanted to go somewhere that had friendly service. Where the employees and the owner cares about the quality of the food that they set in front of their customers. The reviews for Brookside Diner had the rating. 4.5 stars on Google and Yelp. That is a strong indicator of a solid diner. Pictures of Brookside Diner's breakfasts and chicken fried steak seem to dominate as diners' favorites. The breakfast menu and the pictures of the breakfast plates will get me back in the door. Inside the restaurant is clean and comfortable. The service is prompt. The employees are very friendly. The owner made a tour of the dining area, checking on everyone. He also owns Yummy Subs and More in Broken Arrow, which offers excellent daily special sandwiches. Try it if you haven't Our salad orders were the Chicken Avocado and the Brookside Chicken. Both with the breaded fried chicken breast. These are generous plates of food. A pile of salad vegetables and two large breasts sliced up in bite sized pieces. The chicken covers the plate of salad. A wide selection of your favorite house made dressings are available. Creamy Italian for my wife's Chicken Avocado and my favorite, Thousand Island for the Brookside Chicken. Check the pictures. Construction on Peoria has shifted to the east side of the street, making the access to Brookside Diner much easier than it has been for months. Enjoyable meals, great service. read more

The food is good and reasonably priced. The wait staff are like family. There is a friendly atmosphere.

Hit this about 9 am on a Sunday. Immediate seating was available. Server and service was prompt. Their menu is fairly standard for diner fare - skillets stand out, but I went with a meat lovers omelet and a pancake for a small upcharge. My buddy had a Denver omelet. My omelet had bacon, sausage, and ham. Appeared to be a 3-4 egg omelet. Generous but not silly sized. I chose hashbrowns which were nice and crispy on the outside, how I like it. The pancake was outstanding - fluffy, but just right texture and size. Warm syrup accompanied it. Again, service was friendly and appropriate. I'll be back - I see why it's rated well. read more

Such friendly staff!! Lots of regulars and lots of friendly neighborhood conversations! I ordered the. Rueben and it was a solid choice. I usually never order onion rings, but I happened to see some on a nearby table and couldn't resist. They were freshly homemade and had a nice flavor and crunch. I had 6 good sized rings. Hubby had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and said it was definitely better than most of the ones he's had. We wouldn't hesitate to return here the next time we drive through town. read more

If you want to go eat at a local diner that is run by an owner that cares and is constantly getting his own hands dirty doing all of the things his wait staff does as well as all of the other duties it takes to run a restaurant this is the place to go in Tulsa. Fresh hot rolls, freshly cut bowls of fruit are evidence along side the good quality main dishes and flaky biscuits that the details of good food are not being neglected here. The ambiance is not trendy or upscale. It's not quaint or nostalgic it is as practical as you please. The success of this restaurant is due to the sheer hard work and dedication of it's owner. read more

Hi everyone my family and I went to this restaurant and let me tell you the service is fast we had eggs and bacon and fruit a ham omelet and hamburger and fries and hash brown skillet and the food was hot and fresh and the portions were huge. We got so full. We did not get to try the homemade cinnamon roll that they have there, but we will be returning to try it.if you have not been here you are missing out the price is reasonable and affordable I give the restaurant 5 stars it's a must to go try I do recommend read more

Amazing staff! Quality homemade specialties. I can personally recommend the lasagna special on Wednesday and the turkey and dressing special on Thursday. The people who run this restaurant really care about their customers. read more

What is there not to recommend this great diner: Good customer service - check Good food - check Breakfast all day - check Affordable - check Cleanliness - check The only thing that is a problem was the order. I was pretty sure that the person took my order asked whether I want hash brow or fries which was somewhat surprising as fries typically don't go with breakfast. I picked fries and got that stir fried potatoes which I did not like. If that is what they call fried, they need to change it. read more

Brookside Diner - Bacon avocado omelet - American Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Located on Peoria, just past all the "popular" restaurants. This place could be easily overlooked. BUT service was excellent and our food was served piping hot in less than 10 minutes for a decent value. Brookside diner's "retro" atmosphere and friendly staff is worth the visit. read more

Unfortunately I forgot to take pics this time! We love this place and have never had a bad meal here. I inhaled the fried pork chops, they were absolutely delicious! My hubby likes their old fashioned hamburger and thinks it's the best in Tulsa. Not a fancy place, just good down home cooking with typical side dishes. No fuss, no frills just great food! Service is quick and servers are on top of it! read more

This is a place that will make you feel like a regular. It is a friendly and welcoming diner and breakfast is served all day! The food is good and portions are hefty but order away and get a to-go box. read more

Food was good and tasty Around 1230 good atmosphere and good service Would definitely recommend it to other people visiting Tulsa in the future read more

Got two Chicken Fried Steaks for lunch, both were bad, stomach issues after lunch.......

The food is amazing and the service is pretty good! I usually come here for dinner but can always order breakfast (which is a plus!!) They have amazing pancakes and french toast but their skillets are also tasty. If you like corned beef hash, get it on the skillet and ask for crispy. For dinner, they have daily specials (some not on the menu) like Monday Meatloaf or Wednesday Lasagna. They bake fresh giant rolls but you can also request garlic toast instead. The servers are friendly and efficient read more

After a friend recommended this place we tried it last night for my birthday. I had the daily special lasagna with a salad and garlic toast and my husband has fried catfish fillet. It was all delicious and generous with portions. Then they gave me a giant cinnamon roll with icing to take home because it was my birthday! read more

Cheryl our waitress was amazing. She had a great personality and remembered every little detail. The food was also very good. We will definitely be back here read more

While in Tulsa on a Saturday morning, The Wife, The Kid and I got hangry, so they let me pick a new spot for breakfast. After looking at the local options, I decided we'd give Brookside Diner a shot. Pulled up, walked in and were seated immediately. Wait staff, while busy, were cheerful and friendly. The Kid opted for spaghetti and meatballs, which were excellent. Sauce was a tad watery in the bowl, but the flavors were on point. The Wife had what seemed like a whole ham with eggs and hash browns. Turns out it was only a half ham steak, but we all three ate on it. I opted for 3 scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties, which is my normal breakfast, with the addition of a side of gravy and hashbrowns. All items were fantastic and well executed. Potatoes were cooked properly, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We're already looking for a reason for our next trip to Brookside Diner. read more

Great diner-style breakfast spot! Pancakes are delicious. Quick service, no frills, just great comfort food.

We were looking for a place to eat before heading back home to Okc and found this diner on the way. Let me say how delicious it was. Also, Diane our server was amazing. Place was clean too! read more

We came here for the first time visiting Tulsa after our day at The Gathering Place. I ordered grilled catfish (forgot to take a pic of it) but it was good ! I would definitely order that again. The bacon cheeseburger tasted like a frozen patty. It wasn't that great. The chicken sandwich was good! And the kids breakfast was good, only con is the bacon wasn't crispy. Overall would definitely come back again. Our waitress Tosha was great! read more

It's not terrible but It's not great. Arrived in the first 30 minutes of business on Sunday and got a biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was so hard I could barely cut it. Which that early in the morning can only mean they served me a day old biscuit. Service was prompt and good. But the food is pretty subpar honestly. read more

Breakfast at 6:45 am on a Friday. First time visit here but it gets high reviews on Yelp! Parking was easy access and plentiful. Lots of open seating at this time. By the time I left an hour later it was starting to fill up. Service was fast and friendly. Got the coffee and water quickly while we looked over the menu and the coffee cup never went empty. So many good things to choose from. I went with the Cowboy special. My two eggs, two bacon strips, two ham slices, fruit, and toast was more than I could finish and that does not happen often. Great breakfast. Highly recommend. read more

Brookside Diner - Cowboy special - American Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I had only been here for lunch before. The Breakfast was very good. I had a three egg cheese omelette which was excellent. Asked for my hash browns extra crispy and they were perfect. I got biscuit and gravy instead of toast as my side. I added the crumbled up sausage option in my gravy too. I probably won't add the sausage in the future. The gravy was a very good cream style and didn't need the added sausage. read more

Great "homey" diner. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. If you are looking for nouveau anything, or trendy whatever: this isn't the place. If you want good sized servings of good cooking in a friendly atmosphere. This is your place! read more

There are two menus to choose from - all day breakfast or their lunch/dinner. It has a wide variety of latter options ranging from sandwiches to spaghetti and chicken fried steak. It feels like a mom and pop restaurant and you'll be directed to a table upon entering. Decent service. My boyfriend had breakfast items and enjoyed it. I had a blt and fries. The bacon tasted old and the fries were unseasoned, but for $10 it wasn't bad. If you have a group who want different things to eat or want to grab something quickly, this would be a good place to go. read more

I eat here at least once a week. The staff is great and always friendly. They have excellent food.

The food was delicious and the service is great! The owner takes pride in making sure everyone is taken care of.

This is a family favorite we used to live right down the street before the kids started school then we moved to Owasso but we would walk to the diner every weekend to eat breakfast because that is wonderful!! read more
