We eat so much Mexican food out, that American diner food has become foreign.
Upon entering we were quickly seated in a comfortable booth. Menus hit the table; drinks were ordered. My wife opened the menu. An expression on her face appeared that was similar to a deer's blinded by bright car headlights. The diner food menu may as well have been written in Mandrin. No familiar enchiladas, tamales or rellenos. The waiter was sent away, so she could begin her search for a meal. Breakfast food appears to be the crowd favorite here. Large plates stacked with buttered pancakes, waffles and omelets floated by on the server's arms as I waited. Eventually she spotted a recognizable option, Taco Salad.
I had specifically picked the Silver Skillet Family Diner today in hopes of finding a good salad. Up until now, I have not found any in Tulsa that I would recommend. The chicken salad with crispy fried chicken stood out on the menu. My choice.
Our waiter, most likely a manager/owner was lively, animated and never without a word. He kept the staff stirred and on their toes with his wit. Patrons were not spared from his wise cracks either. Excellent energetic service. The receipt said James.
My salad was absolute perfection. Fresh vegetables, likely house made dressing and an abundant helping of crispy fried chicken breast cut up in nice bite sized portions. My wife's taco salad was a delicious home style version. Tortilla chips on the bottom of the large bowl, covered with an excellent chili, same fresh vegetables as my salad, grated cheese and avocado slices. The chili here is very good, worthy of a big bowl on its own.
Yeah, I know Silver Skillet Family Diner known for its all-day breakfast menu, but for me, I have found the best salad in Tulsa. Superb service!
