classen grill

i have frequented thisplacefor close to two years now, over the last six months the service and quality of food has been steadily declining. there are better breakfast joints to spend your dollar at.

so thisplaceis completely classic when it comes to breakfast in oklahoma city. i recommend asking for loretta's section. she may look intimidating but she's been there more years than i can count, she knows the menu well and she can keep up with their customers even when thisplaceis feeding a full house. go for what you like, they do well with most anything and the prices are very accommodating. definitely try some of that fresh squeezed orange juice and go for a waffle if you feel like packing on the morning pounds.

classen grill is good for breakfast. a group of about 8 men have been eating at the classen grill each friday during august. we are generally happy with the food and service. it's an old established mom and pop operation. the decor is pretty dated and looks like it did 25 years ago. all that said, the food is pretty good. i usually get the short stack and they taste homemade. several in our group get the debris biscuit and it looks good and is a lot of food. i don't really care for the hashbrowns as they taste bland and overcooked. i looked at the posted menu and the prices are out of date. short stack is listed at 2.99 but today it is $4.99. service can be good or at times slow. all in all, it is a niceplaceto eat breakfast.

i give them 1/5 stars. tried thisplacebecause they have good reviews, unfortunately we were all disappointed. 4 of us went and not 1 of us left with something to write home about. i ordered steak, eggs & potatoes.... i sent my steak back because it was purple on 1 side., the waitress said its the ink from the butcher.. i still returned it because i've ordered steaks at places where i was charged 50 bucks and didn't see any purple ink! this steak was maybe 10 bucks so... no! not eating purple steak, i don't care what the reason is! anyway, regular food for a regular place. i heard thisplacehas been around for years... not sure how.

terrible experience on 4/13/13. i had heard such great things about this diner in local media but my experience there yesterday morning was very disappointing. i had planned a breakfast get-together for 11 of my closest friends of which about half of them new to the grill (my husband and i had eaten there our first time just a few weeks ago). our group gets together about every 2 months or so and we thought we'd try somewhere besides jimmy's egg (which is very good by the way). we arrived when they opened and the grill had only a handful of other diners in theplacefor the whole 90 minutes we were there. the waitress was probably one of the rudest ones i had run across in a long time and the food was terrible! they completely missed one whole order and when the replacement finally arrived it was cold - they hadn't even melted the cheese on the omelet! she sent that back and just told them to forget the whole thing because by this time everyone else was almost finished eating. there was no apology or anything and to add insult to injury they went ahead and charged her for her coffee! with another order of biscuits and gravy the biscuits were so small an additional order of english muffins was needed to make it a meal. the waitress was very rude to all - t was obvious that she did not want to wait on us even though the grill was nowhere near busy. i doubt any of us will ever darken the grill's door again. i guess we are going back to jimmy's next time for sure!

delicious & pretty food. yes, theplaceneeds updating, but it was clean.
went for breakfast, and was expecting greasy diner food, but, no, what i got was ohmygod delicious! i had the veggie taquitos - the veggies were good, and there were lots of green chilies - it had so much flavor. the southwestern hashbrowns were good - a nice, big flavorful order. the only thing i found lacking in flavor was the cheese grits, and i love cheese grits (mine, anyway) - i like that they were baked, but they had no flavor, and they need to use a sharper cheddar cheese (just my opinion).
the presentation of the food is very nice. everything i saw them serve looked delicious - the biscuit debris, chicken fried steak, and eggs benedict.
and our service was great.
i look forward to going again.

my favorite breakfast joint!. yes, the building is in need of repair. yes, the tables are crammed in close together. yes, the art on the wall (which is for sale) can sometimes be atrocious. oh, and the parking sucks. but the food speaks for itself. it is my all-time favoriteplaceto grab a delicious, satisfying breakfast on the cheap. i like my eggs over-medium, and they always get it just right. their bacon isn't the thin, transparent, almost-not-there slivers you get at ihop. the fried potatoes are hearty and satisfying. no tropicana to be found here. they have freshly-squeezed orange juice, squeezed right there in the restaurant (but be prepared to pay a premium for it - around $4 a glass). their waffles are so good you almost don't need syrup, and their beignets (served with raspberry sauce) are a delicious treat. i can't speak for their lunch menu. i've never tried it, because every time i'm at classen grill i default to their tried and true breakfast menu.

greatplacefor breakfast. love the omelette add-in options and it's cooked well. cream cheese, spinach, and jalepeno...mmm.

a good little breakfastplacein belle isle. prices are about even with denny's, ihop, etc. don't know if a small glass of oj is worth $3, but it is fresh-squeezed, and it tastes good. got eggs, bacon, hash browns, and wheat toast, and it was all pretty good. probably will go back at some point.

great!. after reading some of the bad reviews, i was a little nervous. but i was wrong. if anyone knows anything about "hole in the wall" breakfast places, this is one. you can't get any better than just some good ol' home cooked breakfast. my daughter and i both had the short-stack pancakes with a side of hashbrowns and everything perfect. my husband had the tequitos and he loved them. all three meals were more than we could eat. we would have liked to order the fresh squeezed oj, but like most people stated, almost $5 for a large glass is a little pricey. the service was great even though theplacewas jam packed and about a 20 minute wait. overall, everything was great and well worth it.

don't go after breakfast, or maybe just don't go?. had a terrible lunch there. service was great but the food wasn't a patch on what it used to be. the queso tasted like it was from a giant can of circus cheez. another time the breakfast burrito tasted slightly worse than something you could have from taco bell. thisplaceused to be amazing. the taters may still be good, but the whole neighborhood needs some quality tex mex. bring it back!

a good place... although its not the easiestplacein the world to get to and park at, it's worth the effort to get yourself to classen grill.

the food there is above and beyond the usual breakfast and the brunch offerings are solid too.

i have tried a few things on the menu and i can recommend a couple for sure. the chicken fry is named after theplaceand is great for a hearty breakfast with it and a couple eggs. they have a good standard eggs benedict, and im a sucker for that, but, they also have a blt benedict and it's pretty much what it sounds like and tasty as it gets for a brunch item.

pretty ugly inside (but not gross, just ugly), is the only thing i can think that isnt a plus.

good service, good food. not much else to ask for from aplacelike classen grill.

classen grill. this is aplacethat i would to bring someone who has never been before. it is a no-frills restaurant where one can just relax and eat great breakfast/brunch.

the best breakfast. love this place. i always get the veggie taquitos with sausage added. they are sooo good. also, you will not find a more fresh and sinfully delicious chicken fried steak anywhere in the city. at breakfast it's called "fry and eggs" and comes with home fries, 2 eggs, and biscuits and gravy. this dish has literally saved me from a hangover many times. i always prefer thisplaceto jimmy's egg. they have things you can't find at a typical breakfast place. it does get very crowded on the weekends if you get there after 9am. service is sometimes slow when theplaceis packed, but they have the gazette there so i am never bored and the food is always worth the wait.

breakfast anytime.... i love breakfast food. i often crave it at odd times and classen grill is a greatplaceto put that craving to rest. i really enjoyed the eggs benedict with a couple of cups of coffee. i visited after lunch and found it to be quiet and relaxing. my server was very kind and attentive.
