Wright's Family Diner - Lawton

Wright's Family Diner is one of my top choices. The food is fantastic, and the service is exceptional. Tonight, the atmosphere was calm and enjoyable. The diner follows mask-wearing and social distancing guidelines. I appreciate the staff for making my evening so pleasant.

I had a fantastic breakfast and the service was incredible. This was my first visit, and I will definitely return!

The fried pork chop was extremely thin, and although the okra was served cold, it was still tasty since it was properly cooked. The mashed potatoes and gravy were quite good. I wouldn't recommend the pork chop. This was my first visit, and it might also be my last unless I'm invited to join a group. Overall, I’d rate the food 3 out of 5.

I ordered the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, but I found the shredded beef to be a bit too salty for my taste. However, the rest of the food was delicious and excellent. My wife had the open-faced steak, which came topped with a giant chicken-fried steak. She really enjoyed the green beans, mashed potatoes, and white gravy. The diner salads were also great. This is a charming small country diner that you should definitely try. I plan to return and sample something else from the menu.

As the shift progressed and the manager was on her own, the place became busier, keeping her on her toes. I inquired about the BBQ sandwich's spiciness, and our server generously brought out a small sample for us. My husband and I were instantly hooked. Unlike many other places, Wright's cooks the beef and BBQ sauce together, creating an irresistible flavor. It was so delicious that when my sandwich arrived, I completely forgot to take a picture! Our server was attentive and kept track of how we were doing. Our food came out quickly and was served hot. The toasted bun was perfectly crispy. I sympathize with those who may have had a bad experience, but I encourage you to give it another chance. When a restaurant first opens, it can be challenging for the servers, particularly if they lack experience, which might lead to incorrect orders or longer wait times. If you notice the restaurant is busy with very few open tables, I ask you to be a bit patient. The servers are doing their utmost to provide you with a great experience at Wright's. On January 27, 2019, we visited Wright’s Family Diner again. The special for the day was turkey and dressing with sides, and it was amazing once more! Despite being packed with customers, I saw nothing but smiles on the servers' faces. Below, you can see a picture of the special, featuring a serving of mashed potatoes and dressing under the turkey and gravy.
