Marilyn's Restaurant

Very good food and service. The chicken fried steak was homemade and the bacon burger was just as expected! Great diner food!

A small diner by the hotels. It was pretty busy when we came for dinner and only 1 waitress.Food was good. I got the shrimp dinner and it was butterflied shrimp that was battered and not the frozen ones. Fries didn't look too appetizing, but they were good. I would like to come back to try their breakfast.

We stopped in on a cold, dreary afternoon and found this to be a cozy, friendly little place for lunch. It seemed to be full of locals and I couldn't help but smile as I heard the waitress chatting with them. We tried both vegetable and potato soup, iced tea, chicken breast sandwich and cherry cobbler with ice cream. The standout was the perfectly-cooked chicken breast on the toasty bun. The soups were about average in flavor but were hot and hit the spot. The tea tasted a little funky. The cobbler was a good finish.This certainly wasn't a gourmet place by any means, but we just felt so welcome and there are plenty of tasty sounding things on the menu (including all-day breakfast) so we would try it again.

Visited this restaurant during Covid Marilyn's is right next to a best western off the highway. It was busy but it was the service was good the food was hot and fresh and you could tell that it was made to order. If you get the cobbler with ice cream you might want to consider getting the ice cream on the side. Unfortunately it's a soft serve style ice cream and so it will melt really fast. The ribeye steak was nice and tender and tasted like they've seasoned it with garlic powder which I thoroughly enjoyed. The big potato came with sour cream and butter was already on the table. If you want cheese you're gonna have to ask for that. Soda came in a can which I was fine with. Everything was very good and I would definitely come back again

So...I found this place on yelp and I liked what I saw. I was in the mood for some home cooking and this place fit the bill. The first thing I noticed was an abundance of truckers parked out front which I figured is a good sign cause them boys like to eat. Now my taste buds were singing "East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',We're gonna do what they say can't be done"so I decided to put the pedal to the metal and go all in with a chicken fried steak. That's right. It's a good thing it was covered in gravy cause it was kinda burnt. Not to mention a little on the smallish side. Maybe I should have put on peterbilt hat or something cause I feel a little skimped. It's too late now though. It did come with 2 sides and a salad so I got full but...the mashed potatoes shouldn't be the star of the show. Know what I'm saying. Overall a very solid mediocre meal. 2 1/2 stars ALL DAY LONG.

A great roadside diner on the west side of 69 next to a motel. The food is delicious and the service is spot on. We've stopped in 3 times and everything we have ordered has been well made. Not a fancy place, but a great roadside find.

Marilyn's is the definition of a greasy spoon. I walked into a panicked scene of one waitress handling every table in the joint. She did it was the grace of a swan and the ferocity of a T-Rex. It was amazing. I seated myself.I patiently waited and watched as each seat was emptied and almost immediately filled until the waitress finally came over. She arrived in a vortex that engulfed just the two of us. She had 101 things to do but in that moment I was her only concern. Her totally focus was on me.I ordered big. Annoyingly big. Hash-browns, omelette, toast, drinks, and another meal; a ribeye sandwich. Don't judge me. I was hungry. She took it all in stride and with a smile.The food took an appropriate amount of time to get to me. When it did it was the perfect fare. The ribeye sandwich was just greasy enough to make me question my life choices that had brought me to this point, but not so much that I didn't devour it. The omelette steamed a delicious smelling cloud in my face. I destroyed everything on that plate. It was great.Look. I don't know you and you don't know me, but, stranger, if you're ever in Mcalester, OK you need to eat at Marilyn's. It's 100% worth it. I mean, unless you hate sexism, then the menu will definitely piss you off.

Very good! The coffee hot and fresh I had the BLT w/ French fries and gravy. ExcellentHad also egg and bacon and hash browns.. he loved it The waitress very friendly and efficient Great atmosphere I would suggest this any day over Denny's or the Jimmy egg I believe in supporting the local small businesses You will not be disappointed

This is a diner in its most basic form. I don't have any complaints but also don't have anything to rant or rave about. Service was on the slow side. Everything moves slower in this town and it's obvious people are used to slow service.

I'm sure the food is good, but no one was wearing masks. Sorry, but we decided to go elsewhere.
