50's Diner — Restaurant in Broken Arrow

I arrive at 50s diner and waited in line for several minutes before it was my turn to order. I later get to the window and place my order in the drive through. I ordered one meal. Avocado toast with an over medium egg. $14.08. The employee who took my order was Biancy who was initially friendly. After I place my order I’m told to pull out of line and park my car. Totally understandable as there were cars behind me. After waiting for almost 20 minutes on toast and an egg I called the restaurant and asked to cancel my order. I wasn’t able to go inside as I had a car full of small children. Instead of cancelling my order they say “hold on” and click hang up on me then come running outside with my food. I open the box to find eggs that are so undercooked that the wires of the egg were still gooey. And Avocado that was watery with freezing cold chunks as if it had been frozen and not fully thawed out before serving it to me. I circled back into the drive through and Biancy opened the window. I showed my box of eggs and said the whites are still runny. Can I please just give you the food and get my money back. She shuts the window shut and walks back into the kitchen without acknowledging me. Then the manager, Teresa (in blue and white striped blouse) comes storming to the window and you can see all over her face that she is angry and she says “what’s the problem?!” I said “my eggs are so undercooked that the white is runny” before I could even say anything about the avocado she starts insisting I pull forward and wait for them to remake the eggs. I told her the avocado is freezing cold and she began to LAUGH in my face saying “it’s a fruit what do you expect?!” “Hahahaha you want hot avocado?!” “you do know avocado is produce, correct???” She was SO nasty towards me. Treating me like I was some kind of an idiot. I said “ma’am. C’mon. Don’t be so condescending. I clearly don’t expect avocado to be hot this is till partially frozen though” Then who I believe may be the owner immediately comes flying up to the window yelling and screaming at me “what do you want?! I told you we’ll remake your eggs. That’s what over medium eggs are supposed to look like but if you are unhappy I will make them again” I tried to tell her that I had already waited 17 minutes on my food and that I didn’t have time to wait for a remake. but she kept yelling and saying “you want hot avocado?! Do you know how ridiculous you sound” “you’re impossible to please” She wouldn’t let me explain anything, just stood there and railroaded me for several minutes until I finally pulled a video camera out. Even her body language was just aggressive. She didn’t back down until I started recording her. To which she then finally agreed to just give me my money back which I had politely asked for 5 minutes before they chewed my ass out for being “unable to please.” I’ve never never never been treated this way at any establishment before. EVER. I was served HORRIBLE inedible food and when I simply asked for my money back with all of the food still in hand, they ripped me a new one. Then as you can see in the video when the owner finally agreed to refund me then the manager Teresa and employee Biancy just stood there laughing sarcastically. This experience was...

“Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.” Yogi Berra

4.6 star rating with over 1200 reviews on Google is evidence of the restaurants popularity, and the fact that this Saturday morning the parking lot was full. Parking had overflowed in to adjoining businesses. If you are going to eat here on Saturday, go very early or after 10 am. We walked in the at 9:30; the place was packed. A beehive of activity. Fortunately, a group of 8 or more local firefighters were finishing and we got a table.

The restaurant is well staffed with a team of friendly cheerful attentive ladies. They worked well together to keep things moving as if rehearsed. Regardless of who your initial waiter was they will all stop by to check on you. The restaurant is small. When crowded like today, a collision involving waitresses with arms loaded with plates, seemed inevitable. Never happened, they flowed smoothly back and forth to the kitchen like a school of fish. Great service.

I had selected five of Google's top rated diners in the Tulsa area for this morning’s meal. Deciding came down to one thing; which restaurant had the best looking hashbrowns. 50’s diner had the winning picture of what diner hash brown should look like. I wasn’t disappointed.

I ordered the “All American with Meat.” Two eggs, bacon, hash browns, a biscuit and gravy. I didn’t realize how hungry I was, until the plate was clean. My wife chose the bacon omelet with the seasoned fried potatoes. She loved the meal. Check the pictures.

They have a great deal for breakfast during the week. Two eggs, two bacon, hashbrowns, biscuit and gravy for $7.99, served weekdays from 6am to 8am. You can’t eat a meal at McDonalds that good, for that price, with service. And, my wife spotted the pie menu! Possibly the best diner in Broken Arrow.

When we walked in and saw the packed diner, Yogi Berra’s famous saying came to mind.

We were really looking forward to visiting this diner after seeing it featured on the news. The place is cute, and we were excited to give it a try. Upon arriving, we were greeted warmly and invited to sit anywhere. Our server came over, and since we were new to the diner, we asked for a moment to look over the menu.

After a few minutes passed, I had to wave him down to take our order, but he was friendly when he came by. My husband ordered the cheeseburger and fries, which he thoroughly enjoyed—cooked just right and very tasty. I, on the other hand, decided to try the chicken and dumplings, as it was the featured item of the day.

When my dish arrived, I was surprised to see that it was essentially a bowl of cream of chicken soup with no chicken or dumplings. I brought it to the server's attention, and he said he would take care of it. He returned with some small dumplings (the size of a dime), but unfortunately, there was still no chicken, and the overall dish was not flavorful but simply a bowl of cream of chicken soup with bite-size dumplings.

What made the experience more disheartening was that no one came to check on us throughout the meal so I might get something else. When the server brought our ticket, he asked, rather snarkily, if the soup was bad, which just added to the disappointment. We left without anyone offering a kind word or farewell, and sadly, we do not think we’ll be coming back. I was really hopeful, but this experience just didn’t live up to...
