Brian Prewitt prepares Grandma's oats at the former Blue Dome Diner. STEPHEN PINGRY/Tulsa World file
Chef Brian Prewitt has reopened Family Diner at 3535 E. Admiral Place.
The longtime neighborhood diner had been closed since 2006.
Prewitt operated Blue Dome Diner downtown until closing it last year and has installed an almost identical menu for Family Diner.
Prewitt fans will be happy to see such favorites as the black bean burger, veggie sandwich, breakfast sandwich, quiche of the day, Greek salad, herb turkey burger and Grandma's oats.
"The menu will be changing," Prewitt said. "I'm hoping to add some Family Diner favorites. I'm just waiting on some feedback as to what people want."
Family Diner is open 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The phone number is 918-382-7866.
It is cash only until the credit card machines are operational. probably by next week.
It is unclear exactly how old Family Diner is. Louise and Bob Shewmaker purchased it from a daughter in 1985, when it was located in a building a little east of the current site.
Ten years later, they moved to the current location.
