The menu also deserves credit because there was a huge variety of options, enough that just about anyone could find something they'd enjoy, and the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, the interior was stunning. Bright, colorful, and beautifully designed in a way that almost felt like dining inside a Mexican cathedral. It had warmth and personality without feeling tacky or overdone. You can tell a lot of care went into creating the space. Which makes the actual food situation even more disappointing. The food itself was not bad in terms of quality or preparation. Underneath everything, there were good flavors there. The problem was the salt. Nearly everything we ordered was so aggressively oversalted that it became difficult to enjoy after a few bites. I'm not usually sensitive to sodium, but it actually caused a mild dermatological reaction for me afterward, and my girlfriend could not even finish half of her meal because it was simply too much. It is honestly a shame because almost every other part of the experience was great. If the kitchen could rein in the salt levels, this place would be a great spot for after a movie. Unfortunately, as it stands now, we will not be returning.

What I found at 6:30 this morning was a smiling greeting to a wonderfully smelling classic worn tables diner. Food (chicken fried steak breakfast) was great. Service was great. Company was great (a couple of regulars included me in their conversation about beautiful sunrises). I'm not sure how it could have been better. 5 stars feels thin.

Before I could even take a look at the menu, this is what I saw... One of the ladies behind the counter was lifting a waffle off of the waffle iron. Apparently its far too much trouble to use a utensil, or even put a glove on her hand. She just lifted the waffle and put it on tbe plate, bare handed. If she does that in full view of the customers, can you imagine what happens in the kitchen? I'm not someone who is germaphobic, but come on! I just got up and walked out. Save yourself the trouble...don't go in.

We've never been here before... We were just on the hunt for someplace new, and boy we were not disappointed.

It is a crafty approach actually. Twice the exposure on the review sites. [Even more confusing, there is a sign on the side of the building that says "Sunnyside Steakhouse"] The two names should give you a clue of cuisines served. If you guessed Mexican/American, you got it. On the menu this morning we found regular American breakfast food and huevos rancheros, Mexican potatoes and chorizo potatoes. You can mix the two cuisines to suit your preference. My wife and I both ordered The Pipeliner. A perfect name for a meal served up in "The pipeline capital of the world Cushing, OK." Two eggs, two bacon strips, potatoes of your choice, Toast or a biscuit. My wife chose the Mexican potatoes and I went with the spicy chorizo potatoes and a biscuit. Check the pictures. This was an excellent breakfast!! The restaurant/café is very nice. It has a steak house ambiance. Clean comfortable and superb service. This is your breakfast in Cushing OK! Hanging near the kitchen area is a large screen TV that has a loop of local businesses advertisements. Today's winner's slogan encourages customer to "drop their pants." Check the pictures to see the business.

My Asada bowl had generous portions, great toppings, and the queso topped it off nicely! The side of elote really put this meal over the top!

It had a table spoon of crumpled sausage floating on top. It was too bad to be a mix. Someone purposely created this sinister concoction. I loaded it with copious amounts of salt, black pepper and Cholula. Nothing helped. The flavors were absorbed, vanishing into the white abyss. So, just don't order the cream gravy. The rest of the breakfast was decent. This is an Oklahoma oilfield town diner. A working man's café. Apparently, it has been in operation for a number of years, judging from the volume of reviews. Some good some bad. The service seemed a little slow and disorganized. Overall, I rate it as a very average 4-star diner. Pictures of the meals look very good. But it didn't make the cut for me.

They advertise as authentic Mexican and they are, with what I would call a little TexMex added in here and there. It was and excellent find for us. Two of the best plates of Mexican food that we have had, in small town Oklahoma restaurants. Nothing bland from the salsa to the beans, excellent spicy flavors. My wife had the Fried Tamales. Two fried until golden brown, topped with tomatillo salsa verde and queso blanco, garnished with diced tomatoes and cilantro. Served with rice and beans. For me the Papa Poblano. It was a different presentation of my favorite Mexican food items. An amazing combination of a deep-fried cheese filled Chile Relleno rolled up in a slab of fajita beef, topped with sauteed shrimp in a creamy mushroom chipotle sauce, garnished with diced tomatoes and cilantro. It is difficult to explain how delicious this combination was. The creamy cheesy spicy chipotle sauce made the meal. On the side, the perfect charro beans, topped with fresh chopped jalapeno, tomato and onion. These 5-star meals you have to try. They favor TexMex in presentation and spiciness. A great Mexican restaurant, attractive décor, comfortable chairs and booths, with small town friendly service. Beer and Tequila is available. Their menu can be found online.
