"Have not been to Durant in many years. This landmark restaurant has been around for more than 70 years. Still has the old school ambience. Same red decor and entrance through the kitchen.Stopped in for weekday dinner. Service is exceptional. Had a prime rib end cut with baked potato and salad. Shared a calamari appetizer with friend.Food was very good. Prices were moderate to high but comparable to other high end steak houses. Good place for lunch or that special dinner occaision."

"Go in and experience Happy's Hamburgers!This place is as incredible as you hear it is. We went here and ordered some burgers, fries, tots and classic Coca-Colas that did not disappoint!The ambiance in this place is incredible. It literally feels like you went back in time to an old-school burger restaurant with the black and white checkerboard floor and the jukebox they have. Loved it!Food came out HOT and tasted delicious! Loved the fries, the burgers (and steamed buns) and service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try the chilidogs and more burgers!They also have a wide variety of sauces you can get lost in!"

Diner 50

★★★★★ 4.6 (239) • $$

"Cute little diner with a 50s theme. The place is clean, fun, and inviting - great vibes, fun props, and not pretentious. The waitress was very sweet and attentive, great service. A decent-size menu with both savory and sweet options. Cute mismatched mugs for your coffee gave it a little home-y feel. Our food was delicious, no complaints! Would definitely recommend this little hidden gem!"

Wild Berry Diner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (292) • $$

"Been wanting to try this place for some time. Running pre Xmas errands in the area, so stopped by for late breakfast.Wife ordered a senior special, eggs,sausage, and 1/2 a waffle. Waffle crispy, eggs perfect, and delicious fat sausages.I had the chicken fried steak. Came with eggs, hash browns, and a pancake. Eggs were a little overdone. CFS was good, hash browns needed help. Unevenly cooked, not crispy. Nothing terrible but I've had better.Prices are reasonable, service was fine. Place seemed clean and pleasant."

Nana Dee's Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (235) • $$

"After driving back from Wilcox early this morning, I checked on Yelp and found this diner serving breakfast.This place reminds me of the many Greek diners in NYC and I immediately felt at home.Valerie was an amazing waitress, brought everything I needed and was very sweet and kind to me.I had a veggie omelet with home fries and rye bread. The rye bread was really amazing and everything else was good as expected! I'll definitely come back again to this place as service was very good and welcoming and the food was pleasant. Thank you for a great Sunday morning breakfast here!"

Caribbean Palm

★★★★☆ 4.1 (199) • $$

"Amazing food which I got from Uber Eats! (Shoutout to Carlita for the fast delivery) Jerk Chicken plate with two sides - perfectly spiced just the way I like it and the sauce went perfectly with the rice and peas. Plaintains we're excellent as well. Chicken was moist and full of that delicious jerk seasoning. Fried tilapia plate - Tasty breaded filet of tilapia with a sweet and spicy sauce! Comes with rice and peas and a salad and wifey loves it.Beef Pattie - like an empanada but better! Full of tasty ground beef and a light pastry outside. I'd eat one of these everyday for lunch! It's clear the food is made with a lotta love here! I really wanna visit in person and have more asap. Really appreciate that they don't tone down the spice and flavor here as well. I wish the owners would adopt me!"

Jim's Coney Island Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (188)

"This is our nearby diner. It's not at all fancy but it's exactly what I want when we go for breakfast. The food is tasty and the staff is friendly. We had 6 of us and easily found a table for us. This is the kind of place that has regulars who've been coming for years. Quiet and relaxed place with easy parking, very no fuss. Large portions. We shared the Hungry Man breakfast- 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 3 sausage, hash browns, 2 pancakes, and a side of biscuits & gravy. All my faves."

Tag's Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (165) • $

"Spouse and I really enjoy Tag's, normally a breakfast stop for us and have never really been disappointed. It is open for breakfast and lunch, and they do both well. My mainstay is the American which comes with bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and toast and it is always consistent. Spouse is a little more adventuresome and experiments but again never had a bad experience. It's not nouvelle cuisine but you can count on it being good.Service is always good, and your coffee cup never runs dry.The building and interior have been around for a few years, but it is always kept clean and presentable. Parking is good and 3 sides of the building with easy access to the main street in Coolidge."

5 R Cha Thai and Pho

★★★★☆ 3.6 (172) • $

"I had a lunch date with my mother and daughters yesterday. We ordered quite a few dishes to share. We ordered spicy noodles, crab rag-goons, spicy salad, the fried rice and chicken as our protein, some pork ribs, and the seafood dish. It's hard to say which was my favorite because it was all so delicious. Chefs kiss! The staff and service was awesome as well. Oh and they give you great portions and it's not too pricey. We will definitely be going back! Well deserved 5 stars"

Breakfast at Tina’s

★★★★☆ 3.7 (21)

"This is an easy going spot relatively close to downtown and Lost Dutchman state park. We enjoyed the hamburger steak and chicken fried steak, which each came with potato hash, eggs and toast. Both highly flavorful dishes and recommended. Sometimes they run out of the famous chicken fried so be sure to get there early. Awesome quick service and value all around!"

Hearsay

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"Hearsay was soooo cool! The food and service were top notch! The happy hour menu had several tasty items and nice size portions, too. I love spicy cocktails and the jalapeño Stoli cocktail was probably one of my favorites ever. So excited to have a new, hip and yummy restaurant at The Esplanade!"
