Homestyle cooking, hearty portions, great service! This is the kind of place where I suspect everybody knows your name if you come by regularly (just about every customer was greeted by name and friendly conversation). We were new here but greeted just as warmly. My veggie omelet was STUFFED with vegetables and cheese: hashbrowns cooked to that perfect balance of crisp but tender goodness and the biscuit and gravy: don't tell your mama or grandma how good this one is. It. Is. AWESOME. Happy tummy. Full tummy. In the immortal words of Schwarzenegger: "I'll be back."

This place was great! I didn't know why they were dead, especially when everyone else was packed. Then, one of the staff (manager?) said they had a string of bad wait staff, and said they were afraid the damage was done. Well, not if my moderately famous reviews have anything to say about it! We got out of there after an appetizer and two huge entrees, plus %25 tip for $50. That was a great value for all the food. We got the fried mushrooms to start. Dunno if they were frozen or house, but they were fried fresh and crispy, served with ranch. Hard to screw up. The real prize was the entrees. My husband got the chicken fried steak dinner, which came with rolls, a salad, and fries. The portions were Oklahoma proud and everything was delicious. I had the Perry burger, which was their variation of a Western Bacon cheeseburger (grilled onions, not fried onion rings,) and fries. All of it was banging. Ate ourselves silly. The staff was friendly. Struck up a conversation about dispensary preferences. Then I head of the tragedy that was the damage to this place's reputation. So come see em. The decor is very late 80's early 90's Americana. There's a good patina on the whole place, letting you know they've been doing this for decades. Don't let it end now! Thanks, Perry's!

If you like good food, great service, and the atmosphere of a 1970-1980s style diner this is the place to be. The decor and atmosphere reminds me of the old fashioned truck stop style diners of my youth. Great place to eat. Service has been outstanding every time I’ve eaten here.

This place is amazing! My Mom and I have been to several different places for a breakfast and we have finally found a place to really enjoy eating... Finally!! The gravy was just like Mom makes it. The omelet had the most meats and veggies in it, it puts other places to shame. The PILE of home fries were crispy and tasty that I didn't even need catsup! The COFFEE was fresh, hot, and I didn't have to sweeten it much. Other places their coffee either tastes like it's burnt, been sitting on the hot plate since Moses parted the Red Sea, gritty, among other things that are bad. Their coffee was so very good! The wait staff are sweet and attentive. The all the customers that came in seemed happy to be there. Everyone was nice to each other, no side eyes, glares, or snob attitudes. Needless to say... We are going to be regular customers there! I would highly recommend this awesome eatery!

Service and food were great! We visited shortly after midnight on 11/25/25 and have had the best food in a long time! Nicki is amazing, and the guy in the back cooking is phenomenal! The restaurant was clean and well-kept. Everything about this visit was amazing! 1st visit but not the last! Thanks, crew, for the amazing experience.
