Sherri’s Diner 704 SW 59th Street 405-634-4796
The décor inside Sherri’s Diner, named after owner Sherri McKinney, is both nostalgic and kitsch. Neon lights illuminate bygone advertising campaigns and a display of homemade pies by the register, which are only $2.99 per slice. Breakfast is served until 4 p.m. closing, and it’s known for its pancakes, but don’t forget other specialties like stuffed cabbage or Texas chili (no beans) served with cornbread.
Sid’s Diner
300 S. Choctaw Ave., El Reno facebook.com/sidsdinerelreno 405-262-7757
Both the Travel Channel and Food Network have highlighted El Reno’s “Unofficial town hall” as being home to the quintessential onion burger. Owner Marty Hall built the restaurant with his father Sid, and the diner has gained tons of fans for its own take on an Oklahoma classic. Sid’s fries Spanish onions directly into the burger as it cooks on a flattop that contains decades of seasonings. Make sure to make the trek to El Reno for an onion burger and a chocolate milkshake.
Sunnyside Diner
The Diner
Owned by Shannon Roper and Aly Branstetter, veterans of S&B’s Burger Joint, Sunnyside Dinner injects the locally sourced phenomenon into the classic diner concept. Blueberry pancakes are topped with lemon zest and a lemon-blueberry compote. Instead of a traditional eggs Benedict, choose from varieties with green chili and chorizo, smoked salmon or a California variety with roasted turkey, sautéed spinach, tomatoes and avocado.
The eponymous restaurant is such a good representation of its concept that it was featured on a 2009 episode of Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives in which host Guy Fieri focused on the chili. The diner pays homage to its Main Street building where chili has been served for over 100 years with its traditional recipe. Enjoy diner classics as well as its famous “eggaritto”: scrambled eggs with tomato, onion, green chiles and cheese wrapped in a tortilla and topped with ranchero sauce.
