We stopped at the Oklahoma state line tourist welcome center out of habit. There, the nicest people offered us various things including a $10 coupon to use towards a meal in Vinita (a stones throw down the road). We accepted the offer and went for brunch. What a lucky find! Nothing fancy...just down home food and quite a bit of... More

This restaurant is a legend. Typical "diner fare" except for the Calf "Fries". Very clean with wonderful small-town diner atmosphere. Full of locals and Will Rogers Turnpike travelers. Prices are more than fair for the portions on your plate. If your even close to Vinita....don't miss it. The big sign out front says "EAT", and that's what they mean....enjoy!

On our tour of RTE 66 we decided to try Clanton's. Nice lunch. Nothing fancy. Good country cooking. Fast, friendly service. Really busy at lunch. Looks like a real locals hangout.

This was our second time at Clanton's and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Our server, Heidi, was a delight. She was personable and friendly and fun to talk with. We both had the chicken fried steak. It is not the best dish I ever had but it is interesting and tasty. The cole slaw was good but... More

this place is over rated, just because "diners drive ins and dives" came there does not mean it is good. It is dirty and the food is..... meh. We won't be back that is for sure!

Yeah, it's been on that Fieri show. Whatevs. What you need to know it's that it's really truly authentic, and that the show hasn't changed it at all. Get the chicken fried steak, and chat up the locals on the real-deal Route 66. Unfortunately, the restaurant is dry, which is a shame - the food would really go well with... More

I did not know this place existed until I saw it featured on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. Well they are not open late so call ahead and get their hours. I travel by that town from time to time and I would have reviewed this earlier but their hours kept me from going there. I am an expert in... More

They offered two diffrent speacials, fried catfish and fried chicken. Food was EXCELLENT, service was EXCELLENT, and we were... More

They are a great place to eat. Most everything has stayed the same for years, the good parts any how. Except for the big counter with bar stools they took about years ago. But the food is still just as good. I love the chicken fried steak or the Thanksgiving special.

Every trip through Vinita I have been trying to stop and eat here. It is one of the only places I can find calf fries and I love to eat them. The last two trips were very good. The second trip was the better of them. They had an exceptional chicken and noodle soup, and the calf fries were an... More
