Carlton Diner — Restaurant in Bentleyville

Service was friendly and welcoming from both our waitress and who I presume is the owner, whom I talked to on the way out. They both gave me credit for my appetite which is always fun for me. They also had classic rock playing. 😎

The pancakes were fluffy and I got mine with pecans on top and caramel chips inside. I'm pretty sure they give you real butter too. The biscuits and gravy were solid and the hashbrowns were crispy and not at all soggy like some places serve them. The sausage was really good because the bottom was caramelized and it gave it that little boost of flavor. The bacon was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, which is just how I like it. I have to give a shoutout to the apple fritter French toast too; it's a unique menu item and one of their signatures.

The building used to be a bank so it's not set up like your traditional restaurant, but it is kinda cool. They also have a rewards program where every $1 gets you a point, and every $50 gets you $5 off. They also never expire, so it's overall a great deal at no extra cost to you. They definitely care about their customers. The only things that I can think of to complain about are that the bathroom floor was quite sticky and they were out of some items. However, it didn't detract too much from the experience and I would definitely go back if I'm in...

My family and I ate there, and it felt like a hidden gem off the beaten path. The service was good, and that’s always appreciated these days. We got burgers and fries, simple, but it was fresh ingredients and made just right. They also used real hamburger! Not a precooked patty, and it was delicious! It was so good that I will always remember it, and stop anytime I’m passing through, and also good enough for me to go outta my way to leave a review. You guys are doing it right, and I...

Slightly rustic interior, I believe it used to be a bank because at the end of the dining area wa a huge vault that had been turned into a separate dining room. I had blackberry pancakes and they were delicious. My wife had creamed beef over toast which was very tasty also. Service couldn't have been any better. Our waitress was very attentive without being overbearing and did a great job of juggling all of the tables she had. When it came time to pay, they took our payment right at the table. All in all a great experience. We...
