See what we mean when we say that Murphy's has the feel of a diner? At the back of the photo, towards the right and behind the cash register you can see one of the staff taking an order at the walk-up window.

The white bread in the cracker basket comes in handy for mopping gravy from a plate or dipping into separate side orders of gravy. Also note the Country Crock. Butter is a rarity in Oklahoma cafes.
