818 Diner

This diner recommended by a family member and it turned out to be a great morning! I could tell the ingredients used for all of the food was farm-fresh tasting and all of the staff members were kind. 1# breakfast place in Alva, for me!

We have eaten there 3-4 times.To me it's a bit pricey but I know costs have gone up a bit.I had the marinated chicken with Monterey cheese on top with a dinner salad.Chicken was a bit dry.For 5 of us it came to $75-$80 with water to drink.Plus your 10-15% tip!

Perfect family style diner. Food was great. Clean bathrooms. Excellent hospitality. Will be back on our trips out west. Nice small town.

Nice quaint diner right off highway. Excellent food make your own omelet, cheese ,bacon, peppers, and green chili. 2 sides grits and toast. Husband had eggs, refried beans, biscuits, and gravy. He loved the biscuit.Very reasonable price. Seating comfortable Friendly staff

Great little breakfast spot! We come back to visit a lot and so much has come to town, so happy we tried this place out. I will only order biscuits and gravy in Oklahoma, maybe it's nostalgia from visiting my grandma growing up but this place did not disappoint. Kiddos loved their food and it's so reasonably priced! Thanks so much!

Very pleasantly surprised! Doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a very cozy comfortable spot. Amazing service, great food for the price. The fries are INCREDIBLE.

Great food with great service. Very homey atmosphere. Right on the main road and close to everything.

Had an overnight stop in Alva during a longer trip, got up Sunday morning looking for a sit-down restaurant for breakfast. The choices were fast food, or the 818 Diner. Nondescript on the outside but what a delight on the inside! Black/white checkerboard tiles on the floor and the surprising use of corrugated roofing tin part way up the walls, decorated with all sorts of local memorabilia, photos and old signs, it all worked. Comfortable, clean, ample space, and the staff was all genuinely friendly and helping in any way they could. My grandchildren had Belgian waffles ($8.99) and pancakes (short stack $6.99), 2 of us had the Mexi-Burrito ($9.99). I had that with a biscuit and gravy on the side. They loved the waffles (topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream) and pancakes, and the bacon was cooked perfectly. The Mexi-Burrito probably began life as an 8" tortilla, then stuffed with eggs, diced potatoes, chorizo, onions and cheese, topped with green chili sauce. I comes with refried beans but I had hash browns - and a side of salsa.I don't think the green chili was homemade because it had that vinegar based and was bright green that made me think it came from a jar, and the salsa likewise, but it all worked. The chorizo was mild and the flavors melded perfectly, and the hash browns were perfectly done and delicious. The gravy tasted homemade and the biscuit was perfect - good sized, not overly salty, just good. Though it was breakfast, one in our group asked about pie, and discovered they made their own pecan pie, so he had that. The woman who had made it brought it, still warm out of the oven. It was sampled by 2 others and all agreed it was delicious. This is a good little diner with amazing staff delivering exactly what the menu claims. The only slight 'ding' would be the service wasn't the best, having to remind the waitress 2x that one of our group was still waiting for his cup of coffee, reminding her another time a promised refill of OJ never came, and 1 or 2 other things like that. But overall, I would definitely eat there again.

The food, service, and atmosphere were good. The burgers were delicious. Fries were a tad bit stale, but tolerable. For ice lovers, they have good crushed ice.

Food is top notch and the customer service is always amazing. The owner and her family are always present and attentive to the needs of the customers.
