My favorite diner in OKC. Real food (not canned corned beef hash, for example) made with butter, not margarine. I try to eat here for breakfast as often as I can, especially when I have guests over and don't want to disturb them at 6am before work. Open 6am-3pm every day.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is a gas station turned bar that becomes a who's who place to be seen on the weekends but never becomes over crowded and there's almost always a place to sit on the large patio. You can play lawn games and it is dog friendly! Good place for craft beers.
