This is a cute diner with a 50s and Happy Days theme to it. They also run a motel out back. The diner was excellent. The service top notch, and my wife really enjoyed the omelet. I wasnât as crazy about my meatloaf but it wasnât bad. It was just thin. Usually meatloaf is thick and juicy. Anyway, I would still recommend this place if stopping in this town.

The food was excellent. We ordered breakfast. Good variety of breakfast items (but out of biscuits...sigh). We waited 10 minutes to be seated and almost an hour for food. That was a drawback. It's a small place and very popular. It was almost closing time (9 pm) when we left. Will try it again on a future pass thru but maybe at a different time of day.

So, I don't normally review "chain" restaurants, but these are more of a "Regional Chain". They are tucked-in all over the place around Oklahoma & Western Arkansas. I really do not recall hearing any advertising on the radio, or tv, but word-of-mouth is great!! (Pun intended..).Every location is the same; same green(-ish) paint on the walls, same 50's décor, same smiling waitresses that seem to really like working there, same REALLY good food, same REALLY good prices!I think I've been to about half a dozen locations. I've NEVER beed disappointed, and neither will you!!

We were looking for good diner food on a Sunday. Bob's didn't disappoint. I got a really good onion burger on Texas toast. Portions were huge so I split an order of fries with my daughter. Two of my family members have large appetites, one ordered the special- meatloaf (looked to be about 3/4 lb) which came with 2 sides and a salad and a dessert, the other family member ordered a chicken fried steak which was the size of a dinner plate, It came with mashed potatoes, texas toast and a vegetable. Everyone really enjoyed their lunch. It was very affordable. Waitress was friendly and very attentive. The only criticism I would have is that it isn't a place where you can get a small meal (no kid's or senior menu) but you can always get a to go box. We will most likely return next time we are passing through McAlester.
