The Diner

The Diner is a long-running diner on East Main Street in Norman, known for its chili and down-home Tex-Mex cooking. The menu leans toward breakfast and lunch, with reviewers praising the biscuits and gravy, blueberry pancakes, omelets and the brisket hash. Its chili has won awards, and it is featured in the dish lineup.

The Diner takes to-go orders by phone or in person on weekdays, and on weekends only before 10:00 AM because of high volume. It also does catering and hosts parties and private events. The building has housed a chili parlor or diner for over 100 years, and the dining room has a vintage feel, with seating at the bar where guests can watch their food being prepared.
