ALIUNG INTO THE POLLY ANNA W C a fe in downtown Woodward is like entering the pages of Life magazine circa 1950A row of coat rack-festooned booths lines one wall of the deep narrow building while a bar and barstools occupy the other Friendly waitresses dole out steaming coffee and first-name conversation to a cast of regular customers which in Woodward includes most everyone

But there isnt anything clichtd or kitschy about this northwest Oklahoma icon Its decor service and food are a reflection of its seventy-five years serving up great food and a folksy atmosphere

We get quite a few travelers who stop in to eat and end up just looking around says owner Lyndon Williams

The Polly Anna which began as a candy store across the street before moving to its present location in 1928 has been in the Williams family since 1953The cafe has long served up the traditional homemade fare preferred by the hard-working farmers and ranchers of the area

You wont find any nouvelle cuisine here but you will find a jumbo onion burger special liver and onions blueberry pancakes biscuits and gravy and of course chicken-fried steak Everydung on the menu is homemade

THIS IS COWBOY COUNTRY WITH more orange per square mile than any

other place in Oklahoma Stillwaters orange and black goes with everything credo per- meates Shortcakes Diner an unobtrusive but fantastic-and fantastically cheap-grub- berie on Main Street

nineteen years says owner Glen Higgins Its had everything in it from coffee to ciga- rette butts and it still grows

Higgins seems to know nearly everyone inside (Were kin to about everybody in town he says) He and wife Gayla both of

Such courtesy and longevity benefits patrons who pack the local landmark The

The staff has ready smiles can-do spirits and anything you want you get attitudes

MANY A GLUTTONOUS CHEESE-burger chomper will attest to the

Burgess Grill in Lawton as having one of the best burgers in southwest Oklahoma

While its menu includes sandwiches and popular specialties such as beef fried rice the burgers are the star attractions here In

addition to a variety of h c y burgers for the adventurous burger hound theres the Hodge- podge which includes cheddar American Swiss and mozzarella cheeses bacon guaca-mole grilled mushrooms and onions

Lawton diners can thank Shizuko Burgess for the satisfaction In 1962 she and her late husband Robert bought a downtown diner called Mikes Grill and later that year changed its name to Burgess Grill

Dana Bur ess and her mother Shizuko own this $mily-named diner in Lawton

The couple raised and educated four children from the fruits of their labors at the restaurant

Our customers advertise for us says co-owner Dana Burgess who still works the kitchen with Shizuko and manages daily chores We cared for the place and our customers and it has cared for us in return= I 1

Customers old and ew can always find perch at Cowetas Green Parrot Cafe

By SheilahBright

wEN THE GREEN PARROT CAFE opened on Cowetas Main Street in

the 1940s its namesake Bill hung around in a cage and entertained customers as they waited for hamburgers hot off the grill

Bill listened to the ranchers who stopped by early for fiied eggs with hash browns biscuits and gravy on the side and watched with excitement as the schoolkids flew in the door to grab a quick burger or grilled cheese

Too bad Bill couldnt keep his beak shut They had to take the parrot back home

because he developed a foul mouth says Milana Johnson who came to work as a waitress in 1976and bought the cafe nine years ago from Colleen and Wesley Hopping whose father Wesley had started it

Today amppaots perch in everynook and cranny as customers pay tribute to the Green Parrot and its reputation as a friendly small- town cafe Cast-iron skillet cooking is its claim to fame and Johnson says Ninety-nine percent of folks dont use a menu

Breakfast is served anytime after Johnson

FOLKS SAY NEXTTO THEIR OWN church Murphys is the place to visit in

Bartlesville That reverence is easy to explain During its fifty-six- ear reign as king of

the working mans cafe Murphys Steak House has earned a reputation as a true survivor reopening after a 1969 fire and a 1982 tor- nado The classic restaurant bucks the trend of salad ban and fi-uit plates proudly serving up mountains of meat swimmhg in riven nf

brown gray (--mSure there are a few low-cal menu items but Cmost folks come to Mur- phys to indulge in its gravy all over specials and leave with an I dont need to eat again for three Ldays attitude

Murphys is most famous for its hot hamburger an eight-ounce patty served with French fries and gravy Siding steaks come in a close second The working- man portions that built the business still crowd the plate

Murphys garlic salad dressing developed by Lorene Murphy and her sister Ruth Smith remains a guarded secret despite years of customer requests

Mnct nf the cooks and wait staff have been on the job for more than L ten years Theres a ten-

person counter with swivel

Murphys has a reputation for getting folks in and out in good time Dont let the crowd waiting at the door scare you Its just part of the dining experience

A Users Guide to Tipping

YUVE FINISHED YOUR FLAPJACKS wolfed down your hash browns and even

made room for two eggs over-easy After grab- bing your check from the linoleum tabletop you make your way to the door But wait Is that a sigh you hear from behind Is it your waitress Could it be that you forgot the tip

What once was considered icing on the top of analready sampcient paycheck isnow considered the lifeblood of a wait staff salary that averages around $213anhour Not only do the gratuities round out a servers salary but they ofien must be sharedwith busboys and hostesses

Dont forget a 15 percent tip is considered standard fare whiie 20 percent gratuity is for a job well

done Ifyourmeal costslessthan $10 conventional wisdom says to leave $2 One suggestion for easy figuringIn most of Oklahoma simply double the tax amount

Thought your service was below standard Rather than stiffing your server consider a subpar tip of ten percent The difference will be noted and your server will still be able to pay the rent

IT BEGAN IN 1872 THAT WAS THE year Walter Scott of Providence Rhode

Island served night-shift mill workers hot coffee and sandwiches from the back of his covered freight wagon That evening the diner was born

Sleek and narrow diner cars eventually replaced wagons By World War 11 the restau-

ran~-~ositioned such as Route 66 and US 1-became havens for the weary driver Diners offered fresh pie

5 2 OKLAHOMATODAY1

and warm smiles everything a traveler might need to continue his journey

Today the diner has come to mean something else A welcome throwback a place where if even for a moment the clock turns back to 1872The essentials-refuge warmth and sustenance-remain the same
