Back In Time Diner

I finally tried this spot for lunch today. It's a very cute 50s style diner inside with red and white decor. It's very clean. Our waitress was great. I saw on a chalk board when we arrived that they had a special of wings and fries. I asked about them, and they were bone in but no sauce. Just fried wings. So I went with a chicken fried steak dinner instead. I like to compare all of the chicken fried steaks in Muskogee. My side salad was simple and tasty with house made ranch. The gravy was very good, and the Texas toast was thick. The downfall was the chicken fried steak. It's a frozen one just deep fried. It was good, but I love a hand breaded chicken fry. The burgers are fresh and not frozen though because the husband had a Cajun burger. But we aren't sure why it was called Cajun unless they just used Cajun spice. 2 teas, a chicken fried steak dinner, and a burger and fries was $35 though, and I think that was just too steep for the quality of diner food. I think mainly because we are spoiled in Muskogee by several other fantastic diners with extremely cheap prizes. I think if I go back to Back in Time, I'll get breakfast. It seems to be the most popular option.

The young lady that served us this morning did an exceptional job. Very friendly, welcoming, helpful and attentive. Service like we had this morning, along with a perfect breakfast makes for a happy weekend start. I had the "Traditional Breakfast": two eggs sunny side up, two strips of bacon crisp end to end, flawless crisp hash browns, a biscuit and gravy. The biscuit had received additional attention from the cook. It was split, buttered then toasted. A nice touch. The gravy was from a mix. No one makes gravy anymore. My wife ended up with a kid's meal: one egg, one bacon, and one pancake. The cook is outstanding at the craft, an artist and a person that obviously loves what they do. The pancake on my wife's plate turned out to be in the shape of Minnie Mouse with a pancake bow. Along with that was a pancake flower. That brightened her day and the pancakes were perfect! Check the pictures. Back in Time Diner is a cozy, clean comfortable, 50's 60's themed diner. It is decorated with Coca Cola, road signs, pictures of era music icons and other paraphernalia. Ads for the local businesses are laminated under the clear plastic table tops. Most of the businesses have been closed for years and long forgotten. I always enjoy searching the advertisements for odd ball companies or funny names while I wait. Little mom and pop restaurants like Back in Time Diner are a rare haven. A place where you can truly enjoy a meal and the atmosphere. The folks that work there make you feel good. You quickly forget about everything on the other side of that front door you just walked through. Excellent! Another one of my top picks for a small-town Oklahoma diner! Something you might not know. Muskogee is the home of the Griffin Food Company, makers of the "World Famous," Griffin's Syrup, proudly MIO. It's what's on the pancakes and waffles there. It's ONLY what's on the pancakes and waffles there. It is illegal to bring any other brand of syrup in to the city of Muskogee. If you are caught with more than an ounce of some other brand of syrup you will be charged with both possession and intent to distribute. Don't test the law. The police dogs here are trained to sniff it out.

Yum! Freshly made breakfast, locally run. Super cute decor for Coca Cola lovers. Highly recommend.

Food was great, service was fast and efficient. Even my very specific brother in law food was happy with the service and food. They also were very generous with the extra my sister asked for.

It's exactly what the name says "diner". Troy does a great job and the food is also great! I would recommend for breakfast or a burger! Local and locally owned!

Great little diner and great, friendly staff. If you're here for breakfast, I suggest the Biscuit Stacker. It's a really good white gravy, poured over biscuits and topped with chunks of ham and sausage, with a side of hash browns or tater triangles (potato cakes). Their burgers are fantastic and my son loves the chicken fried steak. Meals may take a little extra time to get to the table, but they're always hot and fresh. The coffee is great (truly a bottomless cup) and the iced tea is clean and not tannic tasting. All cold drinks are served in large cups, so you don't need to worry about running out. They also offer to refill when you're ready to leave, which is a nice extra.If you have the time for a breakfast or lunch, do yourself a favor and go to Back in Time. You won't be disappointed!

Food was awesome with some creative twists. Service was quick and friendly, the vintage decor is nice. The place was immaculate very clean.

Quaint local diner with a 50s decor theme. The food has been tasty the few times I've visited over the past couple of years. They have large & filling portions.

The food here was delicious and the waitress is so very nice I loved the customer service there. She was very polite and helpful. I give this place a 5 star rating you should definitely try this place.
