“ We stopped in here early Sunday morning for breakfast. Food and service was good. Nice clean place. Was happy with everything. I had the Omlette, it came with hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy. Prices were cheap compared to home. Worth a stop. ”
“ This is easily in the top ten best steaks I’ve have had at a restaurant. It was the night special for $28 you got salad bar cake and one of the biggest and juiciest ribeyes I have ever had. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak it was really good. He was jealous of my steak though. ”
“ So glad we tried Twisters Cafe. Good food and service with reasonable prices. I tried the Indian Taco. It was very good! It’s fried bread topped with chili, beans, lettuce tomato and onion. Hubs got pot pie lunch special. A lot of food. ”
“ Unique but interesting concept for decor. Oklahoman's are certainly familiar with storm radar. ”
“ New chef, great food. I got the indian taco and my mom got the hot chicken sandwich. The indian tacos fry bread was a lovely light crisp and chewy texture and tasted great and the toppings on top were even better, everything was well blended together and none of the ingredients overpowered eachother. The entirety of the flavor for the indian taco was excellent and I want to say thanks to the chef for such a great meal. My mom's chicken fried steak sandwich was excellent as well, the toasted bread and chicken fried steak was covered in a really good country style gravy. Hope this restaurant becomes the number 1 restaurant in town. ”
