BBD II The Deuce

Large portions, well made, *interesting* décor…
It’s a funky diner, that beats out the local chains. I’d add it to the breakfast rotation if I lived here.
Note: There was no wait to eat, but this was a week day. The weekends, I hear, can be crowded.

I like this place, it has good service and ok food. The only negative is that they use excessive salt in their food, especially in their sauces. It’s hard to taste anything with so much salt in it, plus it’s really unhealthy. Please reduce the amount of salt in your homemade sauce.

The Corned beef hash was amazing.

Great breakfast place. Highly recommend. Only reason giving 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the over-​crowding on Saturday and Sunday mornings. A good problem to have if you’re BBD’s!

The place is out of the way and very quaint.
The quality and quantity of the food was very good.
The wait staff was very courteous, quick and nice.

4 stars for food, 2 stars for atmosphere.
My husband and I had the cinnamon roll, link sausage, eggs, and french toast with berries. The sausage, eggs, and french toast with berries were very good. The cinnamon roll – while apparently homemade – was a disappointment. It was massive and looked promising but had minimal cinnamon filling and tasted mostly like a big pile of yeasty dough. Coffee was delicious; orange juice was from concentrate.
I just don’t know if I can get past the atmosphere here. Really poorly decorated, tables crammed close to each other, tile-​top tables felt really dirty, dingy old ceiling tiles. Even for an inexpensive diner style restaurant, this place just felt more dirty than charming. I’d go back on Sunday since there aren’t many places open for breakfast, but I much prefer the Savoy.

My first time to eat at BBD II. I was a little bit nervous because it was Sunday morning at 10 am. There was quite a few tables that needed seated in front of us and it went surprisingly fast. I had the Basic Murrito with chili and it was one of their house specialties. I liked everything about it. Eggs were very fluffy and the salsa was fresh. The service and turnaround time were both way above average. 5 stars.

South Tulsans must not go to church, because unlike other breakfast establishments, this place was packed when we arrived around 9:15. The wait to be seated wasn’t that bad though, as I’m sure they are used to the crowd and push for a high turn over.
Have been looking for a good Sunday brunch place in the area and completely forgot that Brookside by Day had a south location.
Same standard offerings and operation as the Brookside location, same great quality too.
I’m always intrigued about their specials, but tend to stay with the basics.
Had the corned beef has breakfast, which comes with 2 eggs and choice of toast. I was surprised when I was told about how the hash is made and what ingredients are in it. Which meant that it was made to order and not the hash in a can mix that some places served. There were real big chunks of actual corned beef mixed with hashbrowns, onions and peppers. And while hash was traditionally used to stretch out the use of a more expensive protein but mixing it with a bunch of filler, I can say that this isn’t the case here. If was roughly half meat and half veg.
Eggs were cooked perfectly to order. Nice bread for toast. Also got a side of grits to help fill me up and those were tasty as well.
Can be a bit on the pricey side, but well worth the price and the wait.

I was expecting a greasy spoon breakfast but I was surprised to find the food and service great.

You know that voice in your head? The one that tells you…“this is a bad idea”… Don’t lie you have had that moment, that one time when you kept telling yourself to just skip the what the locals suggest and go straight to IHOP or Denny’s.
I’m not even going to attempt giving a full review for this place, I asked for fresh fruit, I got berries straight out of the freezer and thrown in the microwave limp, sorry, bland fruit. My Sorry excuse for hash was disappointing, but what really did it was the curdled lab experiment that these guys called a hollandaise.
Nothing memorable here, get an egg McMuffin at the drive though, your day will be off to better start.

The best brunch/​hangover food you will eat! Mimosas… Pancakes… all delic! There is usually a wait so get in there early! Nice patio! Brookside is the place to be on the weekends

I think for a diner, they deliver what most people would expect. Basic home cooking, lots of coffee, and friendly people surrounding you.
As a single, I would go sit at the bar next time unless you seriously want to stay isolated.
I had the corned beef hash. I wouldn’t order it again. It certainly wasn’t a typical presentation but I won’t take away points for that. Their omelettes looked really good.
They have something like 60 different bottles of hot sauce available, server yourself. This is definitely my kind of place. Pepper heaven.
Like I said, for the area, and breakfast, I would recommend it.

I’ve always assumed that it’s part of life to have at least one unenjoyable experience when you frequent a restaurant. You are bound to catch them on an off day if you are constantly going in. However, BBDII has proved me wrong.
I am constantly craving BBD II’s breakfast and they literally never disappoint me. Every server is welcoming and amazing. They check in on you just the right amount and my coffee never gets close to empty or cold.
Is there a better florentine omelette in Tulsa? I highly doubt it. And I live for their home fries. It also doesn’t hurt that they have a wall of hot sauce and I am actually a hot sauce addict when it comes to breakfast.
They even make toast wonderful and exiting. Keep doing you, BBD.

How have I never written a review for BBDII? What is there to say about this place. lots of options, standard breakfast foods served at their finest. I personally love their Biscuits and Gravy. Biscuits are large and flaky, yet not at all hard. There’s also something about the seasoning in the gravy, maybe the sausage, that just makes it so flavorful. The French Toast is another favorite. Heavy handed with the powdered sugar and I love it, plus its served with hot syrup.
This place always has a line out the door, but its well worth the wait. Large groups are usually crowding the door, so its almost better if you go with just one other person. I do, however, like taking friends from out of town here. Despite how busy they are and the crowd, I’ve never had a poor experience or poor service. Great job BBII, you forever have my loyalty!

I had high hopes for Brookside By Day II after hearing several great things and reading all the positive reviews. I would say that ‘average’ is the best way to describe my experience at breakfast this morning. Nothing about BBDII stood out or made me feel compelled to make this a regular spot.
We waited about five minutes for our table which gave us some time to browse the menu. I found it to be lacking in it’s descriptions of some of the dishes, especially the ones with odd names. Some items had full descriptions and some did not, which seems strange… What is a Mickey Cake?
Upon getting seated, we felt a little cramped since the tables are so close to each other. Multiple times the person sitting behind me at the next table bumped into me and we could literally hear every word of the conversations around us. Also, the tables themselves are tiled, but they must be old because the grout is brown and discolored which really gives the appearance of sitting at a dirty table.
Once we got an order placed, we waited for at least 30 minutes for our food to arrive. That seems terribly excessive for two omelets. If I had known we were going to wait for chickens to lay the eggs before they cooked our meal, we probably would have went elsewhere. When the food did arrive, my girlfriend and I were underwhelmed with what we were given. The omelets were good, but nothing we couldn’t whip up at home, and the ‘home fries’ are nothing more than frozen Ore Ida Country Style Hash Browns. The best part of the meal was the biscuits and gravy.
All things considered, I have had better breakfast/​brunch experiences at several other places around town so I doubt I will be back to BBDII. It wasn’t terrible, it just did not live up to the expectations.

I have always loved the food and atmosphere. Today, I waited 25 minutes for my food, 8 minutes for my check and may never return.

Pros: Home made granola was amazing. I got the huevos rancheros which was decent, but I only managed to eat a quarter of it. My fiancé got the eggs Benedict; he liked it. I felt there was something very off about the flavor and I could not take a second bite. Maybe there was some kind of spice or ingredient that I was responding to? I’ve never had that kind of reaction to any food before.
Cons: crowded parking lot, long wait time, crowded waiting area, and small tables. They are a restaurant that serves breakfast, but they don’t have fresh squeeze orange juice?

While waiting for a table for two (in an empty waiting area) another couple entered the restaurant. That couple pointed out to an available table. Despite being told that another couple (me and my boyfriend) were ahead of this couple, they were seated immediately. I then asked the hostess why this had happened. The hostess seemed shocked by this (even though my boyfriend and I were the ONLY people waiting to be seated) and despite the fact that she had just seated them. My boyfriend and I have regularly eaten at BBD for years and the service at the BBD II location has been in a steady decline for sometime. This snub was the last straw. We will no longer be eating at either BBD location.
We ended up going to the Village Inn at 71^st and Memorial. We were seated promptly and received WONDERFUL service.

Whether it be breakfast or lunch BBD2 has yet to disappoint. The Eye Opener omelette and the Country Benny are my personal favorites. I hope one day to have enough room in my belly left for a cinnamon roll.

I’m not from Tulsa but was taken here by a local and I’m glad I was. I felt like I was almost walking into someone’s house (despite being in a strip mall). Everything about this place was casual and relaxed.
The waiter we had was awesome and was genuinely happy to give you the delicious experience of BBD. We ended up chatting quite a bit throughout the meal. He kept on coming back with coffee, which I desperately needed, to make sure it was hot.
With the recommendation of my friend and the waiter, I ordered the huevos rancheros. It was ammaaazzziiing. Cheesy, beany (I know that’s not a word but bear with me), and spicy goodness over some really fresh tortillas. Did I mention that they have a thousand hot sauces? Seriously, you’d have to eat there everyday for the rest of your life to try them all. I tried a cherry hot sauce that added a nice sweetness to the kick of the jalapeños in the huevos rancheros.
I wish wherever I went there was a BBD.
