Best pecan pie ever? Could be! We only had dessert and coffee here on our drive through town but it was fantastic. The food being taken to other tables sure looked good! Super nice ladies taking care of everyone. Deffo worth a stop.

I took a route 66 trip with my family and stopped at this amazing place! The food options were amazing. They also have a gift shop. The service was wonderful and friendly, and the place was clean with beautiful art. I would definitely go back.

Chicken Bites

Fun place to visit while traveling Route 66. My husband loved his bacon cheeseburger. My breaded chicken tenders were more breading than white meat. My mashed potatoes and green beans were flavorful. The waitresses were very attentive and they kept our drinks filled. You can take home your souvenir cup. The staff handled the crowd with ease. The diner was appropriately noisy with the buzz of hungry patrons. We will come back if in the state again.

If your traveling sown Rt 66 and your in the area then this is a MUST stop. The burgers are some of the best u will ever have. The chicken fried steak is also a good pick. AAA+++

This was a great place to grab a Saturday lunch. I told my wife that we'll start taking a Saturday or Sunday and try different restaurants in OK. We chose the Rock Cafe as our destination. It was an hour drive from Oklahoma City and upon arrival we parked but couldn't really locate the entrance. Once we did we were greeted and seated immediately. There were several open tables and it appeared that we may have missed the lunch crowd. A delightful server (Alyssa - no clue if we spelled her name right) guided us through the menu and made great suggestions. She checked on us periodically and at one point in time provided history regarding the restaurant. Very informative! Especially to tell the story about Betsy, the name of the grill. She even took us back to the kitchen to check it out after we finished our meal. Pretty awesome to know that the grill was the only thing left after a fire destroyed the restaurant in 2008. We decided on Fried Pickles as an appetizer they were very good. Both of us decided on the Chicken Fried Steak. It was good but to be perfectly honest a steak knife would have worked better than a butter knife. The mashed potatoes were real, the fried okra was perfectly cooked and crispy. I was pleasantly surprised that I could order dessert. Typically I don't but this time I managed to save room. We choose the Peach Cobbler to split. I found it to be overly sweet and although we ate it all it was not my favorite. After we finished eating we made a short walk to the Ed Smalley Centennial Park which is adjacent to the restaurant. A very nice tribute to those who served in the Armed Forces.

Jagerschnitzel! If this doesn't fill you up, nothing will! So delicious. My plan to save room for peach cobbler was a total fail!

Great service! Great food! And they bring you in through what feels like a back door, but it's so you get to see "Betty" the mighty grill!

Best biscuits ever! So light and the bacon was perfect !!
Kim C.

Delicious. You can taste the history. The bacon was so good. You can taste the grill flavoring. It is the same grill from 1939!!

Cowboy candy! Fried onion strips and jalapeños.

Service was spot on throughout the entire night. We started with the deviled eggs, half plain and half Chef's Choice. The Chef's Choice were the best, drizzled with chili crisp (or pickled Szechuan peppercorns) and topped with a tiny gherkin and fresh dill. The soup of the day was a cabbage and radish soup. It was interesting and very homey but I wish I had ordered the salad. I had the Novarro Farm sweet Potato Gnocchi (kale and pecan pesto, Birch Bottom Farm Georgia candy roaster, fresh chevre). I was a little hesitant about the kale pesto but should NOT have been. This dish was delicious--great garlic flavor. Would order again. The burger looked amazing and while The Hubs said it was good, he also said it needed some more spice. They had a couple of rotating beers from Heirloom--a Mexican Lager and an Italian Pilsner. I had the Water Lily cocktail, their take on an Aviation. Order it just because it's beautiful (and refreshing). The photo does not depict the deep color of it. I asked what other gin based cocktails they had on their menu. They didn't but the server/bartender offered to make me a Bee's Knees for the second round. It was delicious! The atmosphere here is casual but the food is elevated. I kept thinking this is what a French bistro would be like inside. I want to come back and shop the market. Oh, and the apple pie was excellent as well!

This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in Tulsa. I am aware that Juniper has been around but…read moreit's in a perfect location with a quaint atmosphere. We had a reservation but it quickly filled in (I believe there was a show at the Tulsa theater) Our server was super sweet and gave some great dinner and drink recommendations. She recommended the lavender lemon drop and it was fantastic. Followed by drinks we had our bread service. The lemon blueberry butter was absolutely to die for and I have a sad feeling it was a seasonal item. We then ordered The Lobster "Roll" and honestly I loved it. The lobster itself tasted fresh and the sauce that accompanied it was fantastic. Our mains came out and as you can see they were plated beautifully. The pork bell was had such a good flavor and the saffron risotto and bok choy below it were amazing. As a whole, I would classify this as the perfect date night spot with the guarantee of excellent food, curated drinks, and excellent service. Juniper has my heart and I can't wait to go back!!

We ended up not getting the prix fixe meals because the deserts were all chocolate (I don't care for chocolate). I got the beet salad (which is m go-to here) and the boyfriend got duck two ways. It was good enough, but maybe not something to write home about. Maybe it was just because we expected a bit more on V Day. There were wine glasses on the table and even though it was dark in there, we could still see stuff on them. I shined my phone light and mine had little specs that might have been cooked on by the dishwasher??? Not sure. The waitress took them off the table for us. Our cocktails were nice.

This is a hidden gem. We love trying new foods. My husband and I were on our way to Oklahoma City…read moreand we were starving. We passed this place and really only went in to get a snack. We ended up ordering butter, chicken rice, and Nan. It was delicious. We actually went a couple of weeks ago.

Road trips inevitably in my life lead to eating in a random location. Mrs. Ed W. will with concern…read moreask "Why are we stopping here?" My friend TJ3 experienced a similar showing on a recent road trip to Oklahoma City to watch an NBA playoff game between the Grizz and Thunder. It was the morning after the game, and after a few hours of sleep, we hit the road. Our voices were hurting from 48 minutes of cheering. We had to get home. We passed on the overpriced breakfast in the overpriced Renaissance hotel. After an hour on the road, I was starved. TJ3 had a conference call he had to take. He was hungry, too. The sign on the exit said "Biscuit Hill" something or another. Yelp showed nothing. Sounded perfect to me. So we stopped, pulled past a truck stop, and parked next to the only other car in the "area" for parking. I say that because the parking lot is basically an extension of the truck stop, although the restaurant is not connected to the truck stop. It's a dive. It's run down. It's dirty. I was starving. The sign says Biscuit Hill, but a sign in the half-broken front door says "Kay's Country Diner." Ahh, we have new ownership! I sat down at a table of 6 even though there were only two of us. I figured that was not a problem because there were 4 people in the entire restaurant: Ed W., TJ3, the friendly employee and a man drinking coffee by himself at a table that sat 10. I figured party size to table capacity ratio was not a real big deal for this place. I asked who I learned was Danielle what was good on the menu, and she said the breakfast burrito and the omelets. So that was easy. I had the burrito, TJ3 had an omelet. Danielle turned, walked in the kitchen, and within seconds started cooking. Yes, she was the hostess, cashier, waitress, bus boy and cook. I heard lard and/or something hit the griddle and the sizzling sounds began. Nice. And with that, TJ3 was outside pacing the parking lot for his conference call while I had nothing to do but soak in this soon-to-be Yelp first review. I needed some story. So who better to ask than the man sitting by himself, aka Gary. Gary explained that the restaurant had been around since the 60's. It looked like it. The walls were dirty, the furniture was a mish mash. There was a small television behind some counter stools that I believe may have been used on the television show Alice in Mel's Diner. Gary talked about different names of the spot, including The Hoe Down, but now it was Kay's. Danielle later filled in the blanks. Kay had owned it twice, one in the 90's, and now 3 months ago she bought it again. She brought back the old menu, and specializes in good ole home country cooking. "Hamburger patty, hand breaded chicken fries, homemade biscuits and gravy, homemade mashed potatoes" she said when asked what she enjoyed serving. I think I'll be stopping here again soon. TJ3 inhaled his omelet. My breakfast burrito was gigantic, and was heavy on the meat, light on the eggs. It included chunks of potatoes, jalapeno and other peppers, onion and cheese to go along with the voluminous portion of sausage and scrambled eggs. I like this spot and give it 4 stars because it's not trying to hide what it is. It's a hole in the wall. It's limited on beauty but makes up for it in kindness and food taste. So if you're in the area and starving, make a stop to this dive outside of Shawnee. If you can look beyond the grit and grime, I think you'll like what you find. Four stars.
