Had dinner last night and honestly, one of the worst chicken fried steaks I've ever had. The Wife game me half her cheeseburger so I didn't go hungry.
Odd thing is, if any of the three servers took notice of the largely untouched CFS on my plate, they either knew it would suck and knew not to ask how it was, or they didn't care. Either way, I'm pretty much going to eat here for breakfast from now on. I've had too many hit and miss dinners here.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 22, 2020Previous reviewSo finally getting around to writing a review for this, the newest location of the Apple Barrel Cafe.
To be honest, we've dined there on several occasions, so I've had opportunity to sample several dishes.
Rather than recap a single experience as I usually do, I'll just review the place in a general sense.
Location: It's right off Highway 169 on Highway 20, north of Owasso. Even with this busy a location, seating is plentiful, and I have yet to have to wait for a table.
The place itself is open and spacious, with a huge backroom for additional seating. To the right as you walk in is a sweet shop of sorts, I suspect catering to the "grab a slice of pie and cake for a snack" crowd.
Wait staff have always been on point and professional. The food has been consistent and tasty. The breakfasts we've had have all been great, and the hashbrowns cooked perfectly. Biscuits are light and flaky, and gravy is well seasoned and the proper consistency.
I've had a couple of burgers and chicken fried steak for lunches, and most recently the chili and spaghetti (aka 2-way). All were great, with no complaints on my end.
It's nice to have a good quality, family diner that's not a national franchise operation in Owasso.
The Kid loves their meatballs and marinara, and insists it's "so way better than Olive Garden". Smart kid. - Lisa L.Tulsa, OK01Jan 12, 2024
So good. We eat there often and the service is great. We have also have taken food to go to enjoy at home and it is always packed so well.

Server
Today's server is Megan. She's been ignoring us. And seems more interested in bussing tables than actually being a server. After she finally made her way here. She did an above average job. She should have acknowledged we were here and waiting, come by and introduced herself, and said she'd be back in a few minutes or whatever.
Ambiance
It's a country themed sit down restaurant.
Food
Pretty good stuff. I don't think eggs are their Forte.
Overall
It's okay. Can't say I'm impressed or disappointed overly. Feels very average.

Horrible food. Way to expensive for what it is. And I seen the management drop a plate of food on the floor,put it back on the plate and serve it. WOW!!!

I would have given 5 however, even though I requested that there were no onions in my omelet due to allergies the cook ignored the request and there were chunks of onions throughout it.
The server took it back , but she should have checked it before bringing it to the table...
Except for the onion issue everything was wonderful.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Linda H.OK, OK024Aug 17, 2023Updated review
Several weeks ago I drove my brother to an appointment so we decided to stop here for Brunch. We had biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage. The food was amazing! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive . The decor was very nice and the cafe was clean and as soon as someone left the workers were right there to clean up! We will definitely be returning!

Location: 116th & 169
This restaurant started out really well. Recently there's been a much younger staff, some not very well trained wait staff, though I'm not sure it's actually their fault. As of today, we're done here. Today marked the 3rd (maybe 4th?!) time the food came out wrong or undercooked. When your omelet comes out and the egg whites aren't cooked, wobble like gelatin, and the biscuits and gravy could have come out of the fridge; it's not an appealing meal. The kitchen staff can make or break a waiter's day - and this one is not helping. The manager does not engage in conversation with the guests, does not check in with tables, and when things are messed up, he doesn't make any efforts to fix/correct/appease. It's a hard pass from here on out.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Casey V.Oklahoma City, OK61145760Mar 6, 2020First to Review
Oh lord. It was good! The Melt Dawn was the best breakfast dish I've had in a long while! Crispy hash brown as the base with a pile of breakfast meats, cheese and eggs to top it all off. Drool worthy and not for the health conscious individual. However if you like a mountain of breakfast Glory, I highly suggest getting the dish.
Our server was kind and sherrie was so sweet. I'd definitely come back!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Linda H.OK, OK010Jan 12, 2023
Customer service is always top notch. Food is good value as well. Definitely recommend for a family night out.
