Newly opened and boy it's back!! For those that have lived in OKC for more than a decade and remember how AWESOME the old Classen Grill was, this is updated, refreshed and the menu superb!! I HIGHLY recommend this place! My only hesitation on telling everyone how great the food and service was is that it is only a matter of time before there's a wait again!! read more

This is a cute little diner/grill! Our waitress I think her name was Loretta was very friendly. Our food was SO good! We got BLT Benedict and an omelette with a good kick (jalapenos). We also tried the famous classen grill potato balls and they were unlike anything we've had before, it was just very flavorful! Next time we are in town we will be back. read more

I've been back two more times now 3 in all and I got eggs Benedict on a Biscuit it was awesome ! Next time I ordered the "migas" delicious and satisfying! I forgot to say I always enjoy the rich coffee and the best cheese grits I've ever tasted! Ps I also got to taste the homemade warm and delicious cinnamon roll wow ! I was so full ! I told the waitress that I couldn't wait to come back and try the bread pudding, one of my favorite things but not everyone knows how to make it . Then she said "oh you gotta take some home "! She brought it out and I couldn't wait to try so I dove into it right there and it was even more amazing than the cinnamon roll ! I can't wait to get hungry again! read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots! They usually get you in and out pretty quick and the food is always on point. The food is more like home cooking and that's what keeps me going back. I've been several times and I go back and forth between the french toast and the biscuit debris, you can't go wrong with either. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice that is so delicious and not to mention my coffee is never empty! If you haven't tried this place yet, I highly recommend it! read more

I used go here for breakfast here regularly years ago in my teens and early 20s and loved it. I went back this morning for the first time in this morning , with my family, for first time in close to 10 years. It's still just as wonderful and funky and fast as I remember. I will be going here again regularly. We LOVED it. read more

Really amazing little gem on the Classen Circle! My wife and I ordered take out from this place because we get SO bored of the same ol same ole. We were very pleased to hear a delightful voice on the other end of the phone ready to take our order. Order time only was about 10 minutes - there were very few people when I walked in to pick it up. We ordered 2 eggs Benedict, 2 cheese grits, 2 beignet and 2 chocolate milk.. (you cant have a tru beignet experience without chocolate milk IMO). The eggs benny was AMAZING! Totally perfect eggs, yummy hollandaise, beautifully toasted English muffin! Loved it! The grits were on a whole other level! We weren't sure if it was cornbread at first, but to our delight it was creamy formed grits. SO GOOD. The beignets were a little weird.. but I've only had them once before at Cafe Dumonde. The chocolate milk was Hershey's syrup in white milk. We would definitely visit here again! read more

Not something I would crave. The crab cakes tasted frozen and made of canned meat, very fishy. The eggs were cooked well. The hollandaise sauce was too sour. The meal in all was not exciting, I ate until I wasn't hungry and threw the rest in the trash. read more

We hit classic grill early in the morning on Sunday to beat the crowd. But by the time we left it was packed. Some people go there before they go to church which is a great idea. I had a great egg Benedicts breakfast. The service and prices are excellent. I'll go back. read more

Classen Grill - Eggs benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Apparently they've changed ownership which is too bad!! Our first indication when we walked in was it wasn't packed like it normally would and we didn't recognize any of the waitstaff. The clincher for us was that they don't accept it Groupon!! Won't be back!! Too bad because it was the place for breakfast/brunch back in the day!! Oh yeh had to ask for refills on coffee too!! read more

The food and service are always great! The Coyote Quesadilla is my favorite, cheese grits too. Everything I've had there is delicious. Before COVID this place was packed all the time, y'all need to go back! read more

Wow! Went here because Cafe Kakaco was too packed. What a gem! I had the Virginia Beach (eggs Benedict with crab cakes), unbelievable! So good. This will be one of our new breakfast stops after church. read more

I absolutely love this place. I live in the Dallas area and ANYTIME I visit OKC, I have to get the Classen Grill potatoes. Lawd have mercy. They are good. The fresh squeezed orange juice is divine. This is one the best diners I've ever patronized!!!!!! read more

I had biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs and bacon I give them three stars because the biscuits were extremely soft and fresh & our waitress was very friendly! However, the bacon was overcooked and drowning in grease & the eggs were bland read more

Classen Grill - Biscuits & Gravy - side of scrambled eggs & bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This is a place I've always wanted to try out and never have until this past weekend. It was kinda funny because I came with my dad on Saturday morning and back again on Sunday with my sister, her bf, and my bf. I can definitely say my experience was better the first day which leads me to believe it's not consistent. The first day I had the biscuit debris and really liked it. My dad enjoyed his eggs benedict as well. The next day I ordered the Colorado burrito and it was pretty good, I'd order it again. The main difference between the two visits was on Sunday it was a lot busier than Saturday therefore our food took quite a bit longer to arrive. The service both times was okay but I wouldn't say great. The one thing they were completely on top of was coffee refills, like almost too on top of it. It seemed like someone came by every couple minutes to ask if my sister and her bf needed more coffee. The other complaint I have about here is what they consider "hash browns." When it said hash browns came with my biscuit debris, I assumed they were the usual shredded type of hash browns. They were more like what I consider breakfast potatoes or even home fries. They weren't bad but I just felt deceived. read more

This place is great. Super chill environment, good food and it's all priced really well. It's just a casual diner so nothing crazy but incredibly comfortable atmosphere. The orange juice is awesome too, freshly squeezed read more

The BEST cheesy grits in town! This is truly a hidden gem in OKC and one of my all time favorite breakfast places! Their omelets are delicious, the two topper and taquitas are wonderful as well! The service is always fast and they are so kind and welcoming. We always take out of town visitors here for some great food. RARELY a wait for a table because they are so efficient. Please support this awesome place especially during Covid! read more

First time at Classen Grill today. Was really surprised by the large portions of what everyone at my table ordered. I got the Memphis French toast which was delicious. Others at our table ordered biscuit debris, a burger and a wrap. Man I messed up not getting the fries, they looked amazing. Cool place for breakfast and lunch. read more

Classen Grill - Memphis French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Classic all american grill that has been serving up some of the best breakfast in town for decades. Expect a short wait if you get there after 9:30 on Friday through Sunday. Even if the line is long it wont take long to get you a table. The space is very open with 4 seater booths all around the edges with a mix of 2 and 4 top tables in the middle. Their pancakes are very large and fluffy. I am always torn between the colorado burrito, biscuit debris, and farmers omelet. Colorado burrito usually wins. I also cant resist the "Classen Grills"; loaded and fried mashed potato balls. Dont forget the check the daily specials board or ask Loretta what the specials are that day. read more

Service and food here really weren't bad. The food was exactly what I expected coming from a divey diner tucked away on a corner across from Ednas. I ordered an omelet which was proclaimed to be "French." Which to them meant they threw all the ingredients in the egg and cooked them together. It was good, not great. The only problem is that when I walked in I was hit with by this odd odor that I can't put my finger on. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't enjoy breakfast but it was bad enough that I would second guess coming back. read more

Nothing special. I ordered the triple play with a side of biscuits and gravy. My eggs were extremely over cooked and dry and my ham was almost black. Very greasy dish overall. My fiancée ordered a club wrap and it was very basic lunch meat wrap. However, the home fries were the highlight of the entire meal. Highly recommend the home fries. Those fries gained an additional star. I'll give it another go sometime, but I'm not in a hurry. read more

We were invited to a last minute breakfast for a family member leaving town or I would have probably never ventured in.... The outside is a little older and the parking is a little tight for my taste. The place was packed so that is usually a good sign, unless you are in need of quick sustenance! It was really tight inside as well and I would not really recommend for a large group. We saw one group of 11 in one of those old style corner booths! Lol... I had eggs and biscuits with gravy. The biscuit was really good, like homemade, and the gravy had just the right mix of flavors. The hashbrowns are actually home style potatoes just so you know. I am a little OCD with breakfast so this threw me off at first but they were really good. The only real downside to the whole ordeal was they seemed ill prepared to deal with the crowd, even though I hear this is the norm. They were out of glasses which meant it was quite a while before we could get drinks. It also took a long time to get food which was a little uncomfortable given the "tight" quarters. Overall, wont become a regular spot for me but I can see why a lot of people really love it. Food for the price was pretty fair. read more

Neat little place with an artsy feel of decor. Very loud on the weekend morning but well worth the breakfast and "FRESH SQUEEZED" orange juice. Delicious and affordable. Also has Mexican inspired breakfast to choose from. Omelets was big and full of the ingredients. Would recommend getting breakfast here. read more

I'm going to be so sorry to see this place go if they tear it down! It's a legit diner with reasonably priced fare. They make orange juice with one of those big machines you feed oranges into and I love that! I always get the same thing: chicken fried steak, shredded hash browns, eggs, and a pancake. It's an absurd amount of food for around $10. Please don't tear it down! It's ALWAYS packed when we go! read more

Classen Grill - Chicken fried steak! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I love coming here when I'm in the mood for some breakfast. This is a hole in the wall place that serves great breakfast. If you come later (around 10:30am or after) expect to have a little wait. They have great service here! I have tried their pancakes (light and fluffy) and their dish called the Memphis French toast. It is a dish with French toast, peanut butter and banana in the middle, the drizzled with honey. Sweet, but will pair perfectly with a glass of milk! Also, they have fresh squeezed orange juice, which I didn't like much due to its tartness. I have gone here once for lunch and got a club sandwich which I would order again. But I would recommend coming here for breakfast! read more

Been eating here for years and yet today tried the Chicken Fried Steak and the Memphis French Toast. Another amazing food item and had leftovers to bring home. read more

Atmosphere is lacking big time but the food is always decent. Great grits and breakfast items. Chicken fry is good for breakfast or lunch.

I love this place! Get the Coyote chicken sandwich or they'll make it as a burger if you ask nicely! I've tried lots of their stuff, but that's my fave. read more

Looking for a local place similar to the Jimmy's Egg chain? This is it. The food is fresh and the waitresses are fanatical about keeping your coffee cup full. Parking is almost impossible bc of the area, but the food is worth getting creative. This last visit, I ordered "The Elvis" which is honey and cinnamon pancakes and peanut butter and bananas were sandwiched between the two fluffy miracles. And bacon. Of course. Sadly there is no changing table in the bathroom so I had to change my 5-month-old's diaper in the floor. That was a bummer. So if you don't have kids, enjoy a parking challange, love local digs and amazing breakfast - this place is for you. read more

Classen Grill - The Elvis. I already started one of the slices of bacon before i remembered to take a photo. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This place has become sort of a weekend ritual for my husband and I. It's not fancy. So don't expect fancy. But to be honest, I prefer the 7-layer burrito over a lot of other breakfast dishes in Oklahoma City. And I mean, those Classen Grill potatoes: forget about it - so good. And we haven't even talk about the delicious orange juice! I could seriously watch that machine squishing oranges for hours. In my opinion, this place blows Jimmy's Egg out of the water. Again, don't expect fancy. But the servers are nice and appreciate a friendly face, and the food is pretty decent for a diner-style meal. One thing I love about this place, too, is that it's not the "hip" or "cool" place (Do people even say "hip" or "cool" anymore?) to go, so I find the crowd more palatable on a regular basis. I can show up in my yoga pants and tank top and no one cares. read more

So we ordered 4 large "mimosa" pitchers..... which I'm positive now we're non-alcoholic due to using a personal breathalyzer.... we had four people at the table each ended up drinking a pitcher of what was actually orange juice.....then the bill came showing $20 EACH! When we asked the waitress the cost she joked "five hundred", put the food, cards, and checks in the wrong place then charged the incorrect amount to said cards....this was by far the worst brunch ever, I'm not even sure why I got up this morning. (When we asked the waitress if we could purchase a bottle of champagne she replied "we don't have any"). Horrible, on top of that the orange juice or food made two out of the four of us sick. On the bright side we know it wasn't from alcohol. If you are thinking about this place, DONT! read more

Well, she's not pretty. And if cleanliness is next to godliness, she is surely agnostic, maybe slouching toward atheist. But you keep going back, because a greasy spoon is just that. Because if you wanted a fluffy egg white omelet and fresh fruit served on a white tablecloth, you'd be somewhere else, or maybe even someone else. If you wanted cute little shells made out of butter, brought to you with the appropriate knife, you wouldn't be sitting here at a table covered with ads after picking your way through the parking lot with more potholes than parking places, lost in the bar-muda triangle that is Classen Circle. This is the Curve's ugly old lady, and she's gritty and kinda surly and not all that interested in whatever first world problem has you moaning today. But she has coffee, and a one-stop-shop of a bowl containing equal parts squishy gold-wrapped pats of butter and non-refrigerated cylinders of creamer. She has bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy. But you can't help but think it could be better. Maybe a little basket of little tiny baby scones while you wait? But then you remember you're not pretty. In fact, you are visibly dirty. You stayed out too late last night, you slept in your clothes. You took a half shower and pulled on some old, not-exactly-suitable-for-public yoga pants and rolled in. It occurs to you that if there were a white table cloth, you might get it dirty. So here you are, ordering fair to middling breakfast and trying to not go all OCD on the smear of someone else's lipstick still stuck to your coffee mug. Your cloudy head remembers the bathroom at last night's dive bar, and you know it posed much more of a threat than the coral smudge staring up at you. So no, this is no time for mini-scones. You may not even be in the right universe for mini tiny baby scones. So you've established a baseline, you know what you're dealing with. But it doesn't mean that even grading on the curve it's anything more than three stars. But that's okay, because on the mornings/early afternoons you find yourself here, neither are you. read more

Classen Grill is an OKC staple. I do miss the giant orange juice making machine in the dining area, but understand there is probably a more cost efficient and smaller machine to make the fresh OJ. I met some members of my LOKC classmates here for breakfast. I was late, of course, but was met with a cup of coffee and a menu as soon as I sat down. The cheese grits are a good go-to and since I was late, I knew I wanted those and an egg. I received my breakfast before my classmates were finished eating, so that was a definite bonus! read more

This is a fantastic choice for those looking for a diner breakfast. They have pretty much anything you could want, decent coffee, and fresh orange juice. You get plenty of food for a low price. The wait staff can sometimes leave something to be desired but in the end it's always a good experience. My go to food choices for Class Grill are the biscuits and gravy and the vegetable omelet! Always ask for a coffee to go-- they're always super generous! read more

The Classen Grill is one of those places that you're either gonna love or hate. I personally love it. I love the fresh-squeezed orange juice, I love the art on the walls from local artists, I love the old building that it's in & I even love the crumbling state of the whole place. It's got charm. Brunch there on the weekends is crazy so you are gonna have a wait and sometimes the waitstaff is overwhelmed and you do get less-than-stellar service. I usually get their Eggs Benedict with their homemade cheese grits and I'm never disappointed. The Classen Grill has been around for a long time. Judging from the crowds on the weekends, it will be around for some time to come. The staff is friendlier when you go at a slower time. I have had their migas and they are tasty. My kids like their pancakes. So there have been a few health-code violations in the past - most restaurants have at one point or another violated a code or two. Overall the place is great and I bring friends there when we want to brunch. They also do serve alcohol in the form of mimosas with their fresh oj and they are a tasty way to have a little hair of the dog when you've been out late tying one on the night before. The Classen Grill is a classic diner with oodles of charm and a homey-ness that makes a person feel comfortable read more

This place is just...I don't know...it's just a place to have a cheap breakfast at. The service was pretty lame. From ordering to having food in front of me took approximately 20 minutes. It's not like I ordered a steak, btw. I actually ordered biscuits and gravy. Something simple. Besides loving biscuits and gravy, I ordered them because CG doesn't exactly give you the feeling that they cook an excellent breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were good, but not the best I've ever had. The atmosphere, and more specifically, the people, range somewhere between hipster and Life Alert commercial. CG just has a weird vibe that I'm not really a fan of. I don't know if I'll ever come back, but if I don't, it won't hurt my feelings. It's not a place I'm dying to go back to. I have definitely experienced better. read more

For once I decided to try something new and it turned out to be a disaster and I won't get it again. The last couple of times, my waiter Robert has been very inattentive in making sure water was refilled and checking on me. He also doesntake eye contact and feels put out when I ask for something as simple as extra napkins. Today I was seated in booth near the door, when I asked to move because it was cold and draft was coming in, Robert and we'll as the other waitresses looked at me as if I offended them. I was seated at my table and I was served my mimosa (which I loved) and cold French toast. My order was remade but he was not attentive to making sure this new one was better. The other waitresses were. Needless to say I was not satisfied with my service today and Robert is NOT someone o hope to have as my waiter the next time I come in, which won't be for awhile. read more

I've been to Classen Grill a number of times, but after my last experience I will not be going back. The wait staff is always friendly so that's not the issue. The quality of the food and cleanliness of the establishment is what's garnering the poor review. I'm not sure what is going on in the kitchen, but I've received my food less than warm a number of times. What pushed me over the edge this last time however was the roach that ran across my table shortly after receiving my "biscuit debris". If there's one, there's no telling how many more that place is crawling with. Sad too, because I really enjoyed going to Classen Grill. Time to find a new spot. read more

Visited after reading the reviews. Disappointed after receiving my food. Nothing outstanding. Coffee and OJ were the highlight of our breakfast. My French toast was good, but cool. Migas was bland, had to add Tabasco for flavor. Wait staff was good but weI will not return. read more

I had French Toast. It was bread dipped in pancake batter and cooked like a pancake. I don't know how they thought it was french toast. I asked two different waiters to be sure it was not some mistake. decent coffee, nothing to write home about. short wait for table. crazy dude with fake mustache at the table across from us. read more
