Number One Daughter and I went to Maxxwell's for breakfast this morning. I ordered an omelet without cheese, a biscuit, hash browns, and coffee. Lyndsay ordered the biscuits and gravy. It came with three enormous slices of bacon. I ended up eating one as it was too much for my skinny daughter. Our server was friendly and smiling, and she brought the food quickly. The coffee was excellent, strong without a hint of bitterness. Our bill came to just under twenty dollars. My only quibble is the limited menu, but in all honesty, I don't need an overwhelming number of choices for breakfast, though good coffee is essential.
The restaurant offers a Sunday five dollar hamburger special, and since She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed is the family hamburger aficionado, we'll return to try it.
I was intrigued by the old photos of Tulsa. It's worth a trip to the restaurant (from my point of view) for those alone. There's an especially wonderful shot of downtown on VE day. The vintage lighting and embossed tin ceiling add to the Route 66 ambiance.
A quick note about the photo: It was taken with a Samsung S4 using Imageotag. There's GPS and other information imprinted on the edges.
