    Go here! It's so good! We didn't know what to expect, the bacon was generous and crispy. Pancakes were massive and perfect, the hash browns crispy delicious.. I could go on but bottom line if you're into great food and service this is your place. We will be back!

    Great service and the food was spot on for good old fashioned diner food. Definitely will be back.

    Grilled cheese and Half order Eastside onion rings

    This review is for the Freeway Cafe on the west side of Tulsa. We generally frequent the 4th place restaurant because it is closer to our home. I want to compare the quality of food and service between both restaurants I have been coming to Freeway Cafe sense they opened over twenty years ago at 51st. & Hw169. There was and still is a large menu to choose from. The food and service was five star. However I've noticed a decline in the quality of food at the 4th place restaurant. The East side onion rings have been burnt for several months. Even though this appetizer is a large portion the price recently jumped $3.00/order. One week ago I ordered the onion rings appetizer & broasted chicken dinner. My wife ordered a vegetable dinner. The onion rings came out burnt as expected. The broasted chicken came out so burnt that it could not be eaten. Normally the broasted chicken is an average size bird. I actually asked our waitress if this was a Quail, because it was so small. I know restaurants have good days and once in awhile a bad day. However this restaurant is having more bad days than good. West Tulsa restaurant no longer sells Broasted chicken. So I ordered the rotisserie half chicken with mashed potatoes, salad and brown beens. My wife ordered the veggie plate with salad, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, brown beens and okra. We also ordered the Eastside onion rings. The onion rings were good, the salads were lettuce only with salad dressing but was ok. The rotisserie chicken was good. However everything else was so cold they couldn't be eaten. Example: the turkey gravy was so cold that it turned to gelatin YUK! The service was ok but nothing great Summary: both restaurants have some major issues that need to be addressed. The biggest issue starts with poor management. I would like to see a resurrection of the old Freeway Cafe

    Server No clue. Didn't say her name. But she's the only gal in here waiting tables. Considering she's by herself, she's quite efficient. Her name is Sabrina. Ambiance It's a classic car themed burger shop. There's Country muzak playing. To be fair, there's a whole lot more than just burgers. Food The food is above average. The spaghetti was accompanied by a good tasting salad and very good garlic toast; it all was very good. The patty melt smelt and tasted good to very good. The fries on the other hand left a lot to be desired. Definitely the worst part of this plate. They didn't taste as though the were fully cooked. Some of the middles were cold some were much harder than they should be. Overall I didn't see the staff sanitizing tables after each guest leaves. The young girl at the register I see walking around with her phone in hand. Very unprofessional at the very least. Not to happy to see there's no management here. Military Yes

    I have been here a few times now and its not bad. The inside reminds me of a classic diner. The food is good, not amazing, but for the good price and plate full of food you get, its worth going back. They have a daily rolling menu of 15+ specials everyday and the regular menu has 50+ more selections. One can almost find anything they want to eat here. There is also a wide selection of fresh made pies in the case as well as a literal plate sized cinnamon roll, which is delicious. If your ever over this way and in the mood for some down home food that will please everybody, come over and give it a try.

    Fried chicken livers, mashed potatoes and all the gravy.

    For the second visit in a row, the staff started mopping while we were eating. The cleaner is so strong it kills your appetite and burns your eyes. This is not a rookie mistake. The owner who has three of these locations was in the dining room while it was taking place. However, the food is satisfying while you can eat it. And the menu is expansive. Very casual atmosphere. The staff is kind and were patient with my kids.

    This is the inside.. I'm a restaurant snob so I look at everything. Eating area is pretty clean.

    I went here with friends back in February for our first time and we all loved it. Both service and…read morefood were wonderful, and I thought the prices were very reasonable. I ordered apricot iced tea, the vegan fried chicken sandwich, and pineapple upside-down cake. I don't normally like chicken sandwiches that much, but this was really good. And the highlight was getting to choose any of the salads on the menu as the side salad that comes with it. I had the hearts of palm salad with vegan cheese instead of the usual parmesan. It was delicious! I also got to try the cauliflower wings and a bite of the Korean BBQ tofu sandwich. I liked that sandwich too, but not as much. I do like the way they fried the tofu, but it seemed different than what was described on the menu. It seemed just deep fried, but not battered. My only complaint is the layout of the building and the lack of directional signage. I didn't park in the parking lot, so I didn't know to enter from the back and I ended up on a long confusing walk both outside and inside the building before I finally reached the dining room.

    Dinner with family last night. Staying at a hotel a few blocks away. Great choice!…read more Variety of cocktails. Great slightly dirty chilled martini with lots of olives, as requested. Seated promptly without a reservation. Nice vibe, retro theme. Tyler, our server was wonderfully engaging, made good food recommendations, really appeared to be a good human, and made a good meal better ... Salmon cakes appetizer were a nice start, the salads were memorable -- fresh and refreshing -- and my crusted salmon was a completely satisfying entree and I loved the crunch (good portion size, great sauce, and accompaniments). And, Tyler made a great pot of coffee ... strong, rich flavor. I thought it was excellent value. Thanks Tyler!
