    Today we were exploring Bartlesville and decided to give this place a try. It's a cute little diner with a very polite staff. We were greeting when we arrived and told to sit wherever we like. Tony, our server, was extremely kind and attentive. There were some locals eating, I like to find local hot-spots, and the atmosphere was light and cheery. My husband ordered breakfast, served day. He had the ham and cheeses omelette with biscuits and gravy, and a pancake. His eggs were cooked perfectly, fluffy and moist. He really liked the flavor of the ham and it was topped with shredded cheese, not a processed slice you see at most places. The biscuits and gravy looked and tasted fresh. He wasn't a fan of the pancake but said it was a personal preference, just a little overdone for his liking. I ordered the meatloaf, mashed potatoes with brown gravy (you have a choice of brown or white), and green beans. The meatloaf was well seasoned and was a big portion. The potatoes were instant but I don't have issues with that, you can add love to instant potatoes- which they did- and they are perfectly fine. The brown gravy was very flavorful and the right consistency. The green bean came with cooked onions in them, I don't like cooked onions but they added a nice flavor. After eating we went outside to look around. It looks like at one time there was a nice outside eating area, maybe they'll bring that back one day. All-in-all this is a great place to stop for a meal. We were filled up and no stomach issues down the road- that's a plus!

    The service was the best part of Midway Cafe and I'm thankful for the friendly staff, but I wish we'd gone elsewhere for breakfast. The food was disappointing. The hash browns in particular were underdone, cold and wet in the middle. The omelet was big and filled with meats and vegetables, as advertised, but nothing was seasoned, so it tasted very blah. The dining room was full, so maybe my taste is off, but when I'm back in Bartlesville I'll be getting my breakfast someplace else.

It's a cool, neat place with a bar area in the middle with seating around. We were quickly greeted and our server was prompt. He gave recommendations that definitely helped us on our decision. Wife had the meatloaf, very flavorful, hearty portion of meat served with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes. Definitely a must try. I had the roast beef, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and fresh sautéed green beans. The roast beef was tender, flavorful and the meal was plenty for the price. Highly recommend this plate.

We were seated upstairs and I really got the vibe that this restaurant could have been in Taos, Red River, or Crested Butte. It's vintage and retro but elevated a bit (if that makes sense). We ordered immediately and I asked about the Pesto Bowl (which was a special). Was told it used to be on the menu about 6 years ago and they were thinking about bringing it back. It was pesto, pasta and veggies but you could add a protein for no extra cost. I just went with the plain bowl (no protein). The Hubs ordered the Steak Dianne ("A throwback to the 1960s"). Thought that was a cool entree to feature. It came with charred (in a good way) Brussel sprouts and delicious mashed potatoes underneath the steak and mushrooms. My basil bowl was pretty good too. The pesto had a great flavor and the veggies were just cooked perfectly--still crisp and not mushy. Only negative was that there was a lot of liquid in the bottom of my bowl. Again, I would return here.

The steak was cooked to perfection and was loaded with flavor. I'm not one to go on about green beans but let me explain...they're cooked the old school way with onions, bacon, and spices, mmm, mmm.

It would have been better to just tell us they had no availability instead of scolding us and being rude. They were not very busy and there were at least 10 empty tables. Very unprofessional behavior on her part. We should have left but she sat us in the bar area, which was fine. Our order was taken quickly and we received our salads however no silverware. She brought that to us with the main dishes which were good but not what we ordered. When I sent mine back(she admitted the mistake was her fault) the wait for the new dish was almost 30 mins. By then my husband was finished so we paid our check and left. Additionally we ordered an appetizer that we never received. Our waitress then said she had bought my dinner because of her mistake. Long story short, what we did receive to eat was good but not worth the treatment and hassle. Will not be making a reservation to go back.
