Matt's Place

I grew up in Grove, OK, and lived here until I turned 18. This diner used to be a Catfish place, but now it's a gem for down-home Southern cooking. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food? It's almost as good as your grandma's--if not better! Around these parts, our grandmas knew how to cook up some of the best ranch and Southern food, and you can get that same deliciousness right here.Do yourself a favor and try it out--you won't regret it. Honestly, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives should feature this place on one of their shows. It's an A+ spot, and I'm proud to see a place like this making its home in our hometown.

Their ribeye tastes delicious - probably just seasoned with salt. It was tender and perfectly cooked. I ordered crispy hasbrowns and they were exceptional.I went mid-morning on a Thursday and there was one server for the whole place and she was incredible. 8 tables and 20 people, and she sat me, got me drinks and a menu, and took my order within minutes. She kept my coffee perpetually hot. I saw her always scanning the room to see who needed what. She was totally on it, and did it with grace.

We stumbled upon this iconic gem during our anniversary getaway to Grand Lake. Our usual breakfast spot was apparently closed on Tuesdays. So we had to find somewhere else to have breakfast. That ended up being a huge win. Matt's Place has one of the best chicken fried steaks that either of us have had in a very long time. The overall quality is incredible. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. If you're in Grove, OK for breakfast don't skip out on trying Matt's Place!

Really really good food I had the Full Breakfast with scrambled eggs sausage hash browns and French toast and very nice staff I went in with my mom to have breakfast with her because I don't see her much because I live so far so it was nice

Atmosphere and décor, both minimal. The food and service excellent. The usual comment from my wife, only this time stated with emphasis, "That was the best damn chicken fried chicken I have had!" It was a big, big chicken breast steak with excellent crunchy breading. She picked mashed potatoes and fried okra for her two sides. Real mashed potatoes. $19.99 for a 12 oz ribeye cooked over a flame and two sides. Try and beat that at.... well anywhere! It worked for me with a small side salad and fries. Check the pictures. The chicken fried steak here has to be fantastic too. On Matt's website, many of the beef, pork and chicken entrees start their description with the words "hand cut". That would lead one to believe that Matt cuts the steaks and chops in the restaurant. NE Oklahoma is ranch country. It might be local beef? Three recommended meals: Chicken fried Chicken, Ribeye, and Chicken fried Steak. Pick from their big selection of sides to round out the meal. Save room for dessert, there is a case full of beautiful cakes to choose from. Don't overlook the catfish. There was plate after plate of catfish coming out of the kitchen this Friday. Very Popular and it looked good.Beatriz, our server took excellent care of us.

Another great eatery in Grove! It's one of the only restaurants open on Mondays, which is nice. I stopped in for dinner, and it was delicious. Service was exceptional. I was seated quickly, and my food came out hot and fresh. Every time I think I find the best fried mushrooms, I find another spot! These fried mushrooms are next level good. Hand battered slices of portobellos! No button mushrooms here. Delicious house made ranch. Another thing worth mentioning is the cucumber salad side. It's sweet and pickled cucumber, red pepper, and shallot. It's SO good. The chicken fried steak was recommended by the waitress, and it did not disappoint. I went untraditional with brown gravy, and it was fork tender and delicious. The inside is simple. It's just a big metal building, but wonderful folks and food! Oh! And they have Pepsi products if you love Pepsi like me!

Ordered to go from here. Said it would take abt 30 mins. Arrived after 20 and it was ready. Ordered turkey club and onion rings, chicken strips with mashed potato and a side salad, portobello mushroom fries and tres leches cheese cake. The club was good. Plenty of stuff. The onion rings were good but looked pretty sorry and a small order. Chicken strips were good and the mashed potatoes were outstanding. The salad was a salad. Cheese came was phenomenal. We ordered to go so I can't talk abt the ambiance but the server I dealt with was great. Offered to help carry it out but tht was not needed. Definitely would go back if we get back this way.

Breakfast was delicious - from chicken fried steak, omelets, biscuits & gravy to andouille hash. Service was slow on a holiday morning but they kept the coffees filled and our waitress was kind.Ambiance is basically just a diner- the place was packed and it was loud with all the conversations going on but we were able to easily visit within our party of 6. Pictures of Grand Lake were a nice touch.Only 4 stars, given the wait, but will definitely return for breakfast and may even try out lunch/dinner. Entrees are reasonably priced. Extended menu looks appetizing.

I love this place! The patti melt, catfish, and chicken fried steak are the go to meals for my family. I have never been disappointed here.

You know it's good when you have to stand in line to get a table Typical breakfast but a lot of it
