Well, went to Twin Peaks today for lunch for the first time. I have never seen a place (including D&B's) so crowded for lunch, even in the semi-heavy rain. I had the Country Club sandwich with their 'fire fries'. Not bad. The bread at wasn't toaster toasted, it had a bit of butter and was seared, so the bread looked a little like French Toast without the egg on it. The fries aren't bad but reminded me of a steakhouse with Tony Chachare's seasoning on it. But, then again, you don't go for the food to that place. Right? And is it me, or has the 'tramp stamp' gone out of fashion? I am noticing fewer and fewer of these girls donning the lower back tat, although our server had one that was so low on the front of her hip I could just make out the top of it over the shorts...  Better than Hooters, where the girls there are made to wear those ridiculous flesh colored pantyhose with their shorts... While at Twin Peaks, though, I felt a little like I was watching a real-life Lil' Abner comic strip. |

Brothers Houligan for me. Though this thread makes me think I need to try some other places, too.
Caz's CFS never did it for me. Not bad...just underwhelming. Sadly I've felt this way most of the times I've been to Caz's lately.

Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-ins, Dives profiled Clanton's in Vinita (yes, its a bit of a drive) and thought their CFS was "off the hook" or something. I've been there and agree. In Tulsa, I vote Brothers Hooligan.

Three pages and not one mention of the CFS from the Metro Diner?
Best CFS in town.
Rumor is that the owner of the Metro Diner now operates the Quizno's on 13th and Harvard. Someone needs to get it and post it online.

I think folks are inclined to post about chicken-fried steaks from restaurants that are actually operating. |

Metro sucked. I know not a person with a clue that mourned it leaving. Seriously, they were waiting to be bought out.

Back in the old days when the Davis family (U.S. Beef/Arby's) owned it, the food was worth a crap. CFS and Monte Cristo were worth eating. The menu suffered after they sold it, but it had the proximity to TU and Rte. 66 tourism going for it even though it wasn't an "authentic" Rte. 66 relic. Their breakfast fare wasn't too bad right before it closed, but it's pretty hard to screw up eggs, toast, & sausage. |

Probably right on. I remember it being much more popular about a decade or longer before it closed. But it was getting rough. After every trip I'd ask why I went.
I do recall watching a fight for gas break out at the QT across the street on 9/11. When my old girlfriend and I started making fun of the sight, our waitress informed us that they were coming after Tulsa next. I never quite looked at the place the same again.

And that waitress is probably having sex with our resident troofer buddy, alt, now. |

Hate to say it but I tried it, and the CFS at Twin Peaks is definitely in my top 3.

I would have to say my all-time favorite CFS was had at a small restaurant in Kayenta, AZ it was amazing.
If you remember the name of the place let me know. My wife and I try to take weekend trips around AZ and that's an easy drive. It's about a 4 hour drive from where we live, or if we go to Flagstaff for a weekend it's only a couple of hours. And that also puts you just south of Monument Valley. Food and photo op, what a combination. |

Really? I've never had a bad breakfast there. I'm not a regular, but prolly 3-4 times a year either here or OKC, never a problem. |
