    I'm embarrassed to admit in my several years of living in Muskogee, I've never tried this place! My friends love to go for breakfast. I went today for lunch, and it's wonderful! Our server was super quick and really nice! The inside looks, feels, and smells just like you stepped back in time. It reminds me of a Waffle House set up with the bar seating at the front. The old booths are so cool. It's definitely nothing to look at outside, and I wouldn't look too close for health code violations, but I love it! It's classic. My burger was incredible. I'll be back for sure.

    It's old, badly needs updating...but we didn't want fast food so we gave it a try. Fiberglass yellow molded booths are a hoot... straight out of the 70's. There was bowling....yes I said bowling on the TV, with a guy that looked like Bob Ross in a purple and yellow bowling suit. The chairs need re-upholstering, and everything could use a scrub.....but how was the food? Son had the home style burger...1 lb of meat, and he enjoyed every bite, and it was very reasonably priced. We had country fried steak. It was a decent portion and prep was good, Corn was bland, presumably out of a can, with almost no flavor...okra however was perfect. Waitress was sweet and friendly...and you get the vibe that the folks that have been coming here have been coming for years. Not a 5, better than a 3, and definitely better than fast food

    Daily special. Meatloaf and 3 sides. EXCELLENT food!!

    Don't let the looks of the outside steer you away. The food is awesome. A great value and BIG portions. Very clean and delightful staff. Ricky, the chef really cares about the quality of his food. The Daily special of meatloaf comes with 3 sides. I will definitely make this my go to place when in Muskogee.

    Okie omlet with one pancake and hash brown.   It was amazing !

    Excellent food and excellent prices! The same cook for over half a decade. Skip the IHOP and come here.

    Max's/Maxine's is an "ole' reliable" when it comes to the traditional bar scene. Great place to…read moredance the night away with locals. But they've really stepped up their game with the restaurant side of the operation. The food is truly outstanding. The burgers rival any burger in Muskogee. The fried mushrooms are hand breaded and not just fried from frozen, and they are worth getting every single visit. The ranch is top notch. They offer a really delicious Saturday brunch menu, but I wish they would do Sunday brunch. They decorate big for Christmas every year, which is really fun. And they have a seasonal photo area that always has a cute backdrop. The only real struggle with Max's is consistent service. It seems like they are always short-handed and very slow. They take reservations for big groups, but don't actually use them, so you still have to wait, which defeats the purpose of reservations. But I'll continue to go for those fried mushrooms!

    Our server was nice and did his best for a large crowd, honestly he was perfectly fine and this…read morereview should be no reflection on him. The burger meat was good. Potato skins are tolerable, and the ranch is made in house. Otherwise, this place is terrible and consistently the worst dining experience I have ever had in Muskogee. It takes at least 60-90 minutes to get your meal, which is usually wrong, and good luck getting drinks or appetizers. They are always woefully understaffed, and typically the staff seems like they hate being here as much as we do (tonight was an exception, staff was friendly). Included a photo of the updated fries in case you think they're the nice looking ones from years ago: nope, they're great value "McD's" knockoff fries. Thankfully this last experience convinced our group of friends to never return. Don't make the same mistake as us. If it was a single night of this, I'd give it a pass or wait and see. Well, I waited, and I saw, after 5-6 visits in here is just no salvaging the eating experience here.

    I would not be surprised to find out that somewhere in the Oklahoma Historical Society archives,…read morethere is a picture of settlers in covered wagons parked in front of Son's, eating hamburgers and fries. Onion rings had not been invented back then. You don't need carbon dating to judge the age of the building. The design, the weathered wood trim and the faded discolored paint date the building somewhere between pre-Sonic era, possibly even pre-Dairy Queen. It had to be the hang out in Wagoner, in its day. It appears to be a family owned and operated business. My wife and I have grabbed burgers here several times over the past ten years. Nothings has changed. The flame still flares up on the grill when the cook flips the burger, confirming the char flavor will be present as advertised. It is a one-man kitchen, so your order may take a few minutes if they are busy. Good charburgers and onion rings. Today my wife had a half order of 3-way. The chili is very mild, lots of cheese and fresh chopped onions decorated the big bowl of food. Skip Sonic and McDonald's. Have a home town Son's Charburger instead.

    This is the first time getting to come to Wagoner to try this burger location. I've had these…read moreburgers before and thought that they were outstanding. They char their burgers and toast the buns to perfection. The cherry limeade was a bit tart for my liking. The onion rings were tasty. When we got there it was late so there wasn't anyone in the restaurant eating it was mostly drive thru traffic. The staff were friendly and fast. For a nice charburger this is the place to go.
