The four friendly young ladies working this morning kept things on the tracks and on schedule…read more When we pulled up, every farm truck in the county was parked out front. Inside, nicely decorated. The railroad motif matched the building. Halloween decorations were strung from the ceiling. Good timing for us. The café cleared out quickly. These ranchers had to get back to work. The kitchen staff is fast; we had food in just a few minutes. My usual. My wife had pancakes and an egg. Very good food, good coffee. The building is a genuine old train depot within a few inches of an active rail way line. While I was enjoying my bacon and eggs, all that I could think of was a derailment. A frickin' big devastating derailment; like you see on the national news. What if? Could we get out of the building quickly enough if we had to? And then it started. At first a low-pitched rumble. A little vibration felt in the floor. Ripples appear in my coffee cup, Then the ear-splitting train horn, a warning of your last chance to clear the track. That train had to be rolling at 60 miles an hour. The windows on the track side of the depot were covered. You couldn't see the train. Only the flash of the sun between each car as it screamed by. Each rail car had its own signature sound. Some smooth, and then an occasional skreich form a worn wheel bearing or locked brake. That's the sound that worries me. The clatter lasted a few minutes, faded, and vanished. Quiet again. Café sounds return. Tableware clanking together and plates rattling as the tables were being cleared. (Check the video and turn the sound all the way up.) That was pretty darn neat! A real railroad depot café, that features an actual train rumbling past while you enjoy the food. Disney World can't beat this. You have to try the Nowata Depot Café. Call ahead to get the schedule for the next arriving train.

Today we stopped in to have a late lunch. My husband had Turkish eggs, it was the special for the…read moreday. He loved this! I tried it and agree it was amazing. I had Brussels salad, this salad was amazing! Shredded Brussels with apple, cranberries, Dijon dressing... I'm sure there was more to it. The tea is fresh brewed and refreshing. We also got three cookies to take home. They offer takeaway options and a variety of desserts. This place is very clean and trendy, the vibe is chill and relaxed. The people working there are so kind and helpful. I enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely be back. As far as the price, this isn't a fast food restaurant. Their food is made with fresh, usually local ingredients, and there is love in every bite. I'd rather pay more for the quality they produce vs the questionable products from a box.

So glad I found this place in Bartlesville. It might not be the quickest lunch (and a lot of people…read morewere doing pick up), but I made it back to my meeting in plenty of time. Besides, homemade can't be rushed. I tried the Turkey and Provolone (w/spinach, bacon jam, red onions, and red pepper aioli). Totally delicious and it was a big portion. I ate it all but I should have taken half home for later. Service was good and the iced tea was amazing. I refrained from the cookie case but everything on display looked delicious. Bookmarking this so I can remember the next time I'm in town. The art on the walls was fabulous. Loved them!

Not only is the Chicken fried steak as good or better than any in the state but it's served by Copans most beautiful wait staff that are as friendly as they are pretty.

Their online menu looks flashy and fancy. Enticing! I have been to the Claremore restaurant twice. That location goes by the name of just, El Maguey Mexican Food. Slightly different menu than Bixby and Bartlesville. Simpler. The food and service is good, and I recommend it. Check that review. What about El Maguey Mexican Grill and Cantina in Bartlesville. I have driven by the pinkish orange building on highway 75 many, many times purposely ignoring it; my car navigation destination locked in on chips and salsas elsewhere. Today, it is the destination. Ok, so you already know what color the outside of the building is. Inside the restaurant is clean without the mucous membrane scorching smell of Fabuloso. Gritty Mexican restaurants favorite air freshener. No high back wood booths or chairs with hand carved colorful scenes of Mexico. A few bright pictures on the wall, hand made vases scattered around here and there. Yeah, is still looks a little Mexicany looking without being gaudy; more on the classy side. On the large menu everything you would expect and a few items that are highlighted with the exclamation of NEW! One caught my eye. Tacos Al Pastor! The picture describes the platter of food better than I can, but I will throw a few words at it to help. Three large tacos. These are not the 50-cent sized, $2 each street tacos that you get from an unknown vendor in a trailer. These are packed with tender juicy pork, grilled pineapple, cilantro and pickled purple onion. I have not had any al pastor tacos, that come even close to these on delivering the flavor. Check the pictures. Add beans and rice, chips, salsa, and a small delicious guacamole...it was a big meal. Two tacos and I was done. That tasty little chili toreado did not go to waste. Oh, be sure to ask for the salsa picosa. Get some spice! That plate was 5 stars. The service today was provided by Mr. Luiz. Exceptional start to finish. On to the Sand Springs location. Then the season finale will be Bixby's, El Maguey Prime. If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check the collection "Jalapeno Highway." I've probably been there.

I wouldn't get enchiladas again. They were just ok. It was nice that they did half cheese sauce and half red sauce for me. I decided that I'm not a huge fan of their cheese sauce. It's ok.

The inside of the restaurant is clean, well appointed, fun, and updated. They also have recently added a covered and heated patio. The food is always hot and fresh. The chips are very tasty. My wife consistently gets the enchiladas Tapatias. I generally either get the fajitas or my new "go to" is the fajita burrito. It's excellent! It has all of the fajita vegetables and meats, but in a burrito. They also have a quesadilla which I have pictured and it's excellent! They usually have a special or two for lunch and for dinner. They also offer a free white queso dip for every table. Other places charge five dollars or more for this. Give them a try and you won't be sorry.
