Joey's Cafe — Restaurant in Edmond

So, once again the wifey and I decided to enjoy a nice breakfast out. This time, at Joey's Cafe in Edmond. Upon entering, we waited about a minute or so before being greeted and seated. Not how I would've preferred our experience to begin, but not the biggest deal.

Once we were led to our table, we were moments later greeted by our waitress, Jennifer. She seemed pretty cool. Not the most personable, but not the worst either.

My wife and I ordered our drinks. I won't speak for my wife, but I ordered an ice water and orange juice to begin with. What would come next was not particularly pleasing. My wife and I weren't quite ready to place an order yet. It was our first time eating at Joey's and we wanted to take our time in considering what culinary delicacy we wanted to pick from the menu. Well, after asking for a moment to look it over, it would be another approximate 10 minutes before Jennifer would return to take our order. In a restaurant, during a not-too-busy time, anything over 5 minutes seems like a lifetime.

Once Jennifer did return, I ordered the Country Fried Steak and Gravy with Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, Fruit and a side of Chicken Sausage. Now, I must say. The last few times I ordered country fried steak, I spoke of how tender they were. I didn't think it could be any more tender than the last time. I was wrong! This time is now the best time. It was O-SO TENDER! I didn't even need a steak knife to cut through it. The butter knife practically fell through it, piece by piece. It almost seemed as though it was precut. The scrambled eggs and fruit were delicious, and the pancakes, though not the fluffiest, were decent. I'd never eaten chicken sausage before today, but it was surprisingly quite tasty. I can't complain much about any of the food. It was, as they say, the breakfast of champions!

Jennifer did make sure my wife's and my drinks were topped off about two-thirds of the way through our meals and that our food was to our liking. She did her job, but I think she could have been little more attentive, perhaps a bit more personable. That can at times really make the difference between a so-so and o-so great experience, but such is life. All in all, I'd say if you're looking for a quiet and cozy place to eat a good breakfast, Joey's Cafe is not a bad choice. Just don't expect to be made to feel like you're that 100th customer. Thanks for...

This is for the Edmond location. Awful, disgusting greasy mess. Eggs Cordon Bleu were hard. Croissant was so greasy, it was almost unrecognizable. Dripping with grease and really chewy and dark. Spinach was soggy and slimy. The brioche French Toast was just 3 regular slices of bread, very dark brown and visibly greasy. When I asked they said they don't use brioche any more! If I wanted 3 greasy regular slices of bread I would not be paying almost 13 dollars. The menu says brioche. Not only was it disgusting, someone was in the parking lot talking about how horrible the food was. I guess they don't care about loosing customers. Last 2 times they screwed up our order, piling cheese on my son's order after he specified no cheese, as he hates cheese. They just lost our whole family. They must have new cooks who don't care and the staff has a poor attitude and do nothing to...

We always look forward to coming here since we have moved to OK and were probably going to be regulars but for whatever reason the hostess with the back of her head buzzed gave us some real attitude today. My wife is super pregnant and we prefer a booth because its more comfortable. She said she had none available, i asked if they are reserved because i see a bunch open (2 large booths and 3 half booth half chairs). She sticks her hand up and says “ok… those are called tables” grabbed a menu and snarkly said follow me, walked to our table and put the menus down and stormed off.

Her being questioned about booth availability i suppose triggered her lol. The attitude and body language was enough to ruin the friendly atmosphere we were used to.

Edit: this person is gone and our experiences there have increased...
