Nelson's Buffeteria

Took my wife for her first visit, Just like I remember 25 years ago!!! Food and service both outstanding. Local legend.

Such a uniquely Tulsa experience. The food was good but the down home service and communal feel of the dinning room are what make it special.

Excellent breakfast. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, biscuit and gravy. Need to come back and try their lunch buffet. It looks pretty good. Your basic diner atmosphere. Prompt service. Reasonable prices.a

This is the quintessential dirty and equally awesome diner you want for breakfast. I have only been in here once but I want to go back. It has this feel like a legit monster, the mail man, a steel mill operator and a state senator could all be eating scrambled eggs at the same time and at the same place 2 tables apart. It's rare in this day and age a spot draws all classes and delivers this filling and awesome breakfast to everyone. The day I came in I'm fairly certain my server was "medicated" but she still did very well. I'm not at all trying to be judgey but it's the vibe I got. Like I said she did a fine job but ya know, it fit the environment and I'm not even mad. My drink was never empty, my order came out as requested and I left full and a worthy tip was added to my bill, Any way, come in, eat, join a room full of others as they fuel up to tackle the day and enjoy being a part of dining with the folks that make it all happen every day.

Food so good I forgot to take a picture!!' Great food live music on Fridays. Great service! Love this place!!!!

Ordered up the Full Nelson breakfast at Nelson's Buffeteria this morning...man was it good! Crispy bacon, perfect over easy eggs, tasty hasbrowns, and the fluffiest pancakes I have had in a long time!Definitely the best breakfast I've had in Tulsa or OKC!

Yuck. Our food was absolutely gross.Oklahoma get better standards.Asked for burrito and got an omelette, waitress takes it back to cook and then beings me back a tortilla literally just laid on top. The eggs literally tasted like grease. The French toast was burnt.My cinnamon roll was old and then zapped in a microwave.I realize you can't trust reviews in this state. As a chef. Do NOT GO HERE. You're better off at McDonald's.

Our timing today was perfect. We opened the front door to Nelson's Buffeteria at 11:00 on the money. The lunch buffet was out and the friendly personnel were ready to fill plates. We were in our booth eating at 11:05. The classic Oklahoma's favorite meal for me; Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cream gravy and fried okra. My wife substituted mac and cheese for the okra. Both excellent meals. One of the top chicken fried steaks in Oklahoma. The restaurant is not fancy. It is functional and comfortable. The staff is friendly and hustles. Parking is a bitch. If you aren't is a spot by 11:30 "No Chicken Fried Steak for You!" Try again tomorrow. When we left it was tough to even get out. The lot was full, with cars circling bumper to bumper, competing for a spot.

Some of the best comfort food!! I also kinda like the cafeteria style service set up.

Amazing food! The chicken fried steak, "Hello Chicken Fry!!!", is amazing. The Nellie burger, chicken fried chicken, and the rare chicken and noodles are also delicious. Don't miss out on their yeast rolls or a biscuit if you're so inclined. The chocolate sheet cake is also delicious. Service is good for how busy they are during lunch. You can expect a refill, ask for chocolate cake, and they will write the check so you can quickly get on your way. It's a diner atmosphere with great smells! The live music on Fridays I could seriously do without.
