The Morrison Cafe - Review #5

Well another Saturday morning has arrived and once again BJ and I were on the road to another breakfast venue. And what a fantastic morning it has been!  I cold front really did come in and it was in the high 50's as I left to go meet BJ at the lab and is only 61 right now.  Compared to the 105 it was just two days ago its down right chilly.

This morning took us to the small town of Morrison about 12 miles north of Stillwater on highway 64 about halfway between Perry and Pawnee.  It's so small that if you blink you may miss it.   We ventured to the Morrison Cafe which BJ and I have visited once before, approximately two months ago, prior to starting this  blog.  It's a tiny little place on the south side of the road with a sign out front that says "All you can eat catfish."  This of course prompted the discussion that I definitely need to try catfish before I move out of Oklahoma.  Morrison is a small railroad town where the freight trains seem to regularly stop, and as we experienced a train worker actually hopped off and ran in for a to-go meal.

When we walked in there was a group of 4 guys who soon left, leaving us as the only patrons which in many cases wouldn't necessarily be a good sign.  However, in this case it was quite the opposite.  The place probably holds about 20 people max (in tables) and has a counter you can sit at as well.  I don't recommend the counter though as it was loose and according to the waitress almost fell off when they pushed on it yesterday.  The rest of the place has a simple, clean decor with a good view out the large front windows.

Our coffee was quickly served and it was refilled multiple times.  This morning I had the country breakfast which included the usual sausage, eggs overeasy, hashbrowns and for an added adventure a short stack of pancakes. The hasbrowns today were different than usual in that they were definitely homemade, chopped in to larger pieces and cooked with onions, a great change from the usual hashbrowns.  The sausage was tasty, though I suspect was from out of a pre-made package, and the pancakes were light, fluffy and served with plenty of real butter and syrup.  BJ ordered his usual pancakes and eggs which he felt were much above par compared to what he's had the previous few weeks.

The food was fresh and delicious and the atmosphere was top notch for our little Saturday morning conversations about the going-ons of life.  The price was definitely good for the amount of food you got and the service and coffee were above average, especially compared to last weeks adventure (misadventure??).  This maybe the closest place we've found to Mom's yet! It definitely made for a delightful way to start the weekend.

And overall...................

Food: 4 of 5 pancakes
Cost: $$ (out of 5)
Overall: 4.5 of 5 cups of coffee

This coming week we'll probably be blogging at bit early as we'll probably go to Shortcakes diner sometime during the middle of the week since BJ will be out of town on vacation next weekend.  And sorry for the lack of pictures, for some reason it just slipped the mind this week.  Until next time keep on eating breakfast!
