Restaurants in McAlester

“Had strawberry pecan salad ! It was fresh and delicious! The rolls are always fresh, hot and very hard to resist. I had the blackened chicken breast which was moist and tender. I like the Cajun seasoning. The baked potato was fresh. My husband had fried catfish which also was crispy and tender! I will be back! I love this place to stop when traveling!”

“Fresh food, great service, good price!”

“My favorite Mexican in town! Love love the beef steak California burrito!!! The queso is the best ever!!!”

“An awesome gem of a restaurant. Delicious food, HUGE portions, fair prices, friendly and fast service. My husband got a steak burrito that was plate sized. I got a vegetarian fajita plate that was overflowing with a diverse plate of grilled vegetables, refried beans, rice, Pico and guacamole. It was delicious and nicely priced for the amount of food received. Well worth the visit. We discovered this restaurant as we were staying at a hotel nearby for one night or this would become a regular place for us. Would be happy to visit again. Highly recommend for others.

Not a fancy place but excellent food and service!

Vegetarian options: They have an entire section as well as other options listed in the specials section (which is where I found the veggie fajitas).

Dietary restrictions: I cannot have dairy and they were extremybaccomodstubg in making sure sour cream and cheese were left off of my order.”

“Today we were at this place, it was our first time. But I couldn't stop giving it my 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and if it were possible I would give it much more. I was very impressed by the attention and kindness of the waitresses, they were very kind to my 1 year old daughter. I must say that we will return again. My husband and I are very grateful for their attention. The food is very delicious. THANK YOU❤️”

“My husband and I stopped in for lunch. We were seated right away. The wait staff was friendly. Not super attentive but " ok". My husband had the shrimp cocktail and loved it. I had the taquitos. They're were fine. Nothing extraordinary but good. If we are in the area, I'm sure we would stop back in.”

“love the food”

“My brother is handicapped. They made our visit very enjoyable. The lady that waited on us (I believe she was the owner) was very kind and loving towards us, going out of her way to clean up a spill cheerfully as if he was her own brother. I was very impressed with their kindness. The food is delicious too.”

“Service is usually quick but girls were busy visiting , laughing & chatting. It's nice to see people happy & enjoying their jobs & coworkers happiness spreads....just don't forget to take your customers orders. ? Regulars (waitress hugged them) received their drink order before ours was taken and they arrived a good 7-10 minutes after us! I'm all in for treating your regular customers well....just treat me equally because it does affect your tip.
On the other hand our meal was once more excellent!”

“Since management changed in early 2024 our satisfaction with place took a nosedive. This is due to new manager policies as staff is wonderful. Our dissatisfaction is due primarily to a lack of understanding around the needs of rural farm customers who purchase stacks of products for livestock feed.

Overall it remains a great place to shop although prices rose by about 50 percent under the new manager”

“best place on earth Lauren is 10/10 that barbwire tho 😍”

“I want to give a shout out to Bob at Arby’s in McAlester Oklahoma who took the time to notice Daisy, my dog, in the car gave her a nice bowl of water for the road and an extra cup with ice water to keep her hydrated during my trip home. Employees make the business. Great job.”

“Awesome food awesome service and friendly people HIGHLY recommend. Edgar the guy in the middle will take your money 😂😂”

“a place where you feel at home”

“Braums on Carl Albert in McAlester is great; far superior to
the one on George Nigh Expressway! Good food and you actually get waited on there unlike on George Nigh where they have 10 people standing around looking at you. And it is much easier to access than the one on George Nigh!”

“THE BOMB.COM it was good.”

“The way the staff takes care of you is amazing. I believe our server was Nate and he was outstanding. Ordered something I don’t normally and it was soo good. From the moment I sat down until I got up to leave he was all over the place checking on his tables and making sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed. Had an incredible visit and hope to have him as our server each time we go now. The margarita was great. Thank you Nate for making a rough day so much better. I won’t forget the hospitality and kindness you displayed. You have a wonderful aura about you and it’s highly contagious. ❤️”

“Great food got new dentures & the dumpling are easy to eat. Yuck for having to use blender for the 1st few days. Just smash & enjoy. Serve only on Wednesday.”

“My wife and I stopped in here with our two young daughters the other night right before closing. Not only did they welcome us like we were their favorite customers, they gave our girls little stuffed cows and made their day. Chick-fil-A in general does a great job with hospitality but this one really set the bar. Great experience.”

“It is very rare these days to receive over-the-top service. Two nights ago, my son and i had dinner at Chili's in McAlester and were served by DYLAN. We were both incredibly impressed with Dylan's service---so friendly, attentive, and all with a beautiful smile. Exceptional service!”

“can earn free food daily. on a fixed income with 2 special needs kids lots of traveling to Dr's from OK to TX. awesome deals for a price that disabled and retired on social security can afford. thank you”

“Ate here for the first time tonight. Ordered a half rack of ribs, coleslaw, macaroni & cheese. Oh. My. Gosh. The ribs literally fell off the bone. Super moist & tender. And the sauce was amazing! Also ordered a blood orange whiskey sour. Sooo good, not too sugary, not too strong. We were visiting from out of state, but next time we visit our family here...we'll be back for SURE!”
