    Back dining room
    Michael E.

    Dropped in for what turned out too be a great breakfast. This location has two main seating areas. On this visit we sat in the back room which was very clean and very quiet as there were only two other tables of guests in the room. I would say it was almost too clean because the odor of Fabuloso was in the air. Not my favorite scent. We had a very friendly server who took our drink orders and then came back to take our breakfast order a few minutes later. I ordered the Denver omelette with hashbrowns and whole wheat toast. I asked that the hashbrowns be well done. The food was delivered in a timely fashion but the hashbrowns were still not quite what I would consider well done. They were good, just not as crispy as I would like. The Denver omelette was excellent and was filled with visible chunks of ham, green pepper, onions and a little cheese. Very good. The coffee was actually pretty good. A lot of times in diners the coffee is very weak and watered down tasting. Freeway Café is on my list of frequent breakfast stops.

    Black and white, checkerboard squares. Chrome, and Red Vinyl covers the chairs. Coconut cream pie and a chicken fry. Daily specials. Order Breakfast all day. Comfortable dining at the Freeway Café. The Freeway Café is a solid diner. A jaw stretching, loaded Club sandwich, with a platter of crispy fries for me. The fresh meaty filling club sandwich was all I needed. Barely touched the fries. A burger for my wife with a generous helping of the great fries. The good tasting burger had a thin beef patty dressed out with L,T, P, O and M, on fresh buns, hold the mayo. If you prefer a thick beefy burger, better order double meat. The service was fast, friendly, attentive.

    Service was great! The food was good. I was hoping for better biscuits and gravy. Kind of your run of the mill breakfast places.

    Biscuit and gravy

    Service - Very friendly Food - excellent and food was fast! Very busy but all the staff were very attentive and kind. They even sang happy birthday to one of the staff! Love this place. I highly recommend it for any and all food .

    Platter of Eastside Onion rings
    Jim G.

    I have eaten at the Freeway Cafe for many years. They have three locations in Tulsa. It is a down home come as you are family restaurant. They have an extensive menu to select from. For an appetizer we usually order the Eastside Onion Rings (an old recipe from the old East Side restaurant). If you are old enough you may have eaten there. I usually order the chicken fried steak that is very large, or like this time I ordered the broasted chicken with mashed potatoes, corn and a side salad. My wife ordered a vegetable dinner. With salad, brown beans, French fries. The onion rings come piled high on a platter. Enough for four people. The Broasted chicken comes with a leg, wing, thigh and a breast. ( I already ate the drumstick before I remembered to take the pictures ) It was very good. Only drawback to ordering the broasted chicken is it usually take about twenty minutes because they cook it when ordered.

    Garden omelette substituted with real eggs, hash browns, bacon, and biscuits with gravy

    Absolutely all-American breakfast at its finest. Monster portions and everything was on point in a classic Americana diner ambiance. Service was outstanding. Garden omelette featured below with substituted real eggs. I'll be back Freeway Cafe!

    Oklahoma seems to have a certain pride when it comes to burger joints that keep it simple. Tulsa…read morehas many chains, local restaurants and pop-ups that are familiar and filling. Encroaching on a seemingly crowded market can be tough but somehow Howdy feels like an already-established diner. While many newer burger places attempt to overwhelm the consumer, Howdy Burger's approach seems to be keeping things simple and delivering what the people want while staying true to the "burger joint" identity. I've had Howdy Burger 2 or 3 times through the years. My first visit was likely in/at Mother Road Market but a more recent visit was on October 29th (2025). In the midst of an economic stall (the federal government was shut down for 4 weeks at that point), eating out seemed like a luxury. I visited around 2pm for lunch. The weather was chilly and the staff was readily available. I was greeted and I browsed the menu for about 2mins before ordering. I ended up getting a single burger & rodeo fries. Afterwards, me & the lady cashier had a brief conversation about the state of the world as business was slower than usual. The restaurant isn't huge but it was well maintained. I sat near the West windows and the food came out shortly after. The highlight of the food was easily the burger itself. It was a decent size, the bread was soft, and the patty was just thick enough. Each bite was equally satisfying as they didn't hold back on the toppings. I will say that the fries are pretty standard, even with the extra toppings. I don't think the Rodeo Fries are worth wild but it didn't hurt to try. Lastly, I LOVE the variety of sauces they offer and the staff are happy to add them directly onto the sandwich or place them on the side. I've since returned to have the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it was just as good, if not better, than most famed chicken sandwich spots. I wasn't familiar with Howdy for a while and, as mentioned, there are many other places to get a cheeseburger, sandwich and/or fries. But what I like about Howdy is that they don't try too hard, they know what sells and they offer great service. Considering the price, consistency in their products and good people behind the counter, Howdy Burger is good enough to replace your favorite burger chain and/or fast food spot.

    I'm on a huge hamburger kick. Looking for mom n pop places…read more Having been to Tulsa a few times yrs ago, I checked Yelp and DDD and both had Hanks listed. And bing in town on business, I had to go. I went the single meat w/ chz and. Risky FFs. Hanks did not disappoint. Good ol' fashioned juicy chz burger. One where the meat juices mix with the mayo and chz and oh so good. Very filling. And the FFs so crispy. Yo won't be disappointed. Tip: for the best burger deal, get Hank's 1/2 lb special. Way cheaper than buying single patty burger, FFs and drink separate. It's a dbl meat.

    Talk about a "dive" hamburger joint. That's exactly what I love about it. This place reminds me of…read moreSqueeze Inn in Sacramento, but a little bit bigger. The menu is straight forward, straight out of the 60's style, and the place was poppin' at 2:30 in the afternoon. I ordered the Hank's special with cheese and pickles and onions as my only produce. I also ordered tots. I found out later that I could've got them "loaded", which entails tots being smothered in chili and cheese. Next time for sure. My wife had the single with fries. The fries came out piping hot and for simple fries, they were crisp and tasty. My wife's only complaint is the lettuce was wilty, and that is she doesn't like the onions grilled into the burger. That's not a knock on Hank's, just her preference. Me, I love grilled onions on and in my burger. The burger bun was soft and melded with the burger and cheese into a burger nirvana. I look forward to trying their chili cheese tots next time and their milkshakes looked very tasty. We'll be back for sure.

It takes a LOT of reading before you can figure out what you want. I understand wanting to highlight farms that the beef is sourced from, but it shouldn't be the most prominent thing in the menu. It's super confusing. Last, the truffle fries need reworked badly. I got fries with some truffle-esque condiment squeezed randomly on top. Fries needed to be tossed in the sauce while hot, so it was a soggy mess. 1/5, wouldn't recommend those.
