    If you happen to be facing some Jail Time and the judge asks where you want to serve it, ask for the Vera Jail. They don't lock the door and it is right next to a very good café. Delicious jail food like you have never tasted. There is nothing more relaxing and beautiful, than driving the back roads of Oklahoma on a cool crisp fall morning. Even better if your destination is a small-town café. You step out of the truck and smell the invigorating fresh air, mixed with a hint of cow pasture and a whiff of smoke from the rural home's fireplaces. Country breakfast and hospitality is about to be served up with a fresh cup of coffee. Step inside. Your first task is to pick your drink. Coffee is brewing to your right, sodas and other cold drinks are in the coolers on the north wall (left side). Make your selection, then grab a seat at one of the big wood slab tables. Don't be in a hurry. You will have enough time to pick out your breakfast and change your mind several times before the friendly young lady shows up to take your order. Simple pancake and bacon for my wife. A version of my favorite breakfast for me. (check the pictures) When the young lady heads to the kitchen your order will be out soon. Very good food. Comfortable, real laid-back atmosphere. Friendly service. If you lived here, you'd be dining with your neighbors. I love these places. The burgers are rated as the "bomb!" When you are ready to leave, pay the head jailer up front. He's been keeping an eye on you the whole time. Pay your fine, with a generous tip and go on about your life. Oh, you do know where Vera is, right?

    The food was great!! My daughter and I shared a burger and curly fries. The burger was delicious and the curly fries had the perfect crunch! Our waitress was extremely sweet and very attentive! I can't recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back!!

    The Son and I made the 10 mile-ish trip to Vera for lunch just to try out the Jail. This place is wide open, with three long trestle tables for dining. A cool fact about those tables, if you notice, they are all three single slab, live edge pieces of wood. That's impressive. Now, on to the food. Burger and tots were the order of the day for me, while The Son went with the venerable Chicken Fried Steak. As for my burger, it was outstanding. Patties nice and thin with a great crust, insides piled high amid gooey cheese. Tots were cooked to perfection as well. The Son's CFS was also well made. Fork tender beef with a flavorful battered crust on the outside, and a decent sized bowl of gravy to cover the steak and a little extra for the fries. Our server was friendly as all get out, in spite of being on the literal verge of delivering her first kid. Well worth the drive up to Vera, but I'd for sure plug the place into your map app, because once in Vera, it's not all that easy to find.

    First timer, very happy I stopped in! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Got the Big Daddy Burger & curly fries. Both were very, very good. Will stop in again next time I'm in the area!

    The best breakfast in Chelsea and for miles around in any direction…read more I really like this old-fashioned diner/cafe. Small cozy comfortable old building, the walls lined with historical photos and advertising. Welcoming friendly staff keep your coffee cup full and the big menu selection covers all three daily meals. Daily Specials are hand written on the white board by the counter. Grab a table by the window, relax and watch authentic rural Oklahoma life pass by on the street. Or select one of the limited stools at the counter, ponder about the weather for the day with the locals; or visit with the staff and watch Granny make delicious homemade meringue pies. As I was paying the bill, Granny walked by with a chocolate meringue headed to the pie safe (display case). It was stacked high with light fluffy whipped egg whites and then baked just long enough to give it that perfect pie suntan. The young lady at the register said the restaurant had been in business for over 30 years. It is an icon in the community. My wife and I both had the 2-egg breakfast, with bacon (came with four strips of thick smokey bacon), hash browns, and a biscuit with gravy. All cooked country diner perfect. Great service. This is where you eat breakfast on 66. It may be the best for other diner style meals too. I have reliable sources that have rated the burgers here as excellent. Check out the old brick paved street on Pine St. on the N.W. side of the restaurant as you walk back to your car. Across the street viewable from our table, there is a controversial sign on the building stating that Chelsea was the location of the first oil well in Oklahoma. There are three or four other sites in Oklahoma that claim the same, as the first. An unsettled Oklahoma controversy. Quiet, friendly little town, a relaxing diner with excellent food.

    The Jalapeño Grill is a wonderful little eatery in Collinsville. I believe it is family owned and…read moreoperated and the family, or very close knit group of people are absolutely wonderful. The ambience is wonderful, the place is clean and the food is some of the best Mexican Food I have had in Oklahoma. Beside Mexican Food, they have great Cheeseburgers and on Fridays, they serve a healthy portion of wonderfully prepared Cat Fish. I have eaten here regularly and never been disappointed. The service is always excellent and the staff is very happy while being of service. If the staff here is not Family, they sure seem to be very close. Everyone works to gather wonderfully, very courteous and service oriented. On some days, there are children of the owners/staff at the restaurant and they are always very well behaved and add a sense of home to the atmosphere. It is a place where everyone will feel at home and, last but not lest, the prices are exceptional. Absolutely love this place.

    I had a beef taco and a chicken taco. Neither had a lot of seasoning, but they both tasted good…read more The customer service was friendly and attentive, and this place was hopping. We didn't have to wait - but you can tell they get a lot of customers. The chips were thick, fresh and crunchy, though they could have used salt. The salsa was very mild, so if you enjoy milder Mexican food, you'll probably like it. If you prefer more heat, it's easy to spice it up yourself. I asked for some hot salsa and it was very hot! I also noticed that the hamburgers looked good, and the steak fries looked amazing. They looked like Red Robin steak fries. I'd definitely be interested in trying those on my next visit. If I ever go back, I will ask for the steak fries with the tacos. I think my favorite thing about this restaurant is the interior deck where it's like you're in a cabin. With Collinsville being such a small town with limited restaurants, I could see this place be very popular. They even have corn dogs!
