I had the fried chicken Dinner and my daughter had the mac and cheese stuffed hot fried quail, and it did not disappoint! The fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, seasoned just right with so much flavor in every bite. You could tell it was cooked fresh.
The mac and cheese stuffed hot fried quail was, cheesy, and rich — packed with toppings that made it even better. The shared plates we ordered Deviled eggs and Pimento Cheese Ball. It was the perfect comfort food combo. Every bite was warm, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Definitely a meal I would order again!

The pickled okra fritters were a big let down. They would have been better if they had more pickled okra in them. As they are, they are little more than hush puppies. The unicorn shrimp and grits were also very disappointing in flavor. Kind of a dull flavored dish. And the shrimp were way overcooked. But the presentation was beautiful. They do need to make it clear that the dish does not come with pork belly during lunch. The short rib pot roast was very good! Both in taste and presentation. And i could have eaten my weight in the berry and blue cheese salad. The chicken amd dumplings were outstanding!
The atmosphere here is next level! Their service team were exceptional. Its worth a second try to me. I think in the evening next time for the fried green tomatoes and mac-n-cheese stuffed quail. And most certainly another berry and blue cheese salad.

Lorena’s was good overall. The atmosphere, food, and overall vibe were amazing and made for a mediocre dining experience. The downside was the service. It wasn’t very consistent or particularly welcoming. Unfortunately, the gentleman assisting us forgot our order and returned about 15 minutes later to ask what we had ordered after we had already placed it. We were there for 2 hours.
Aside from that issue, the food and ambiance were decent. Make a reservation so the host isn’t speechless when u arrive without one.

I couldn’t decide what impressed me more—the creative twist on Southern classics or the unmistakable Southern charm that hits you the moment you walk through the doors of Lorena.
From the first bite of the rich, comforting chicken and dumplings to the unforgettable “Nana” pudding, every dish feels like Grandma’s Sunday supper—if Grandma had a little swagger. Chef Cally brings bold attitude to familiar flavors, elevating comfort food without losing its heart.
The black pepper clam chowda is an absolute must-try—hands down some of the best soup I’ve ever had. The fried chicken comes out piping hot, impossibly juicy, and full of flavor, while the pork chops are as satisfying and smooth as front-porch sweet tea on a summer evening.
If you’re craving a Southern classic with personality, Lorena is a can’t-miss spot right in the heart of OKC.

What an amazing experience I had here! The food is out of bounds – I especially loved the fresh made to order biscuits with apple butter, the deviled eggs, and my Louisiana Brine Maple Farms duck breast. I went for dinner around 7 PM and it was the perfect time because the ambience was romantic and elegant. I’m loving the elevated southern comfort food style. Shout out to our waitress Bindsey. She was great!

The atmosphere was great! The food was okay, some of it came out cold. I did appreciate their clearly marked gluten free options, however the gluten free mac n cheese came out with cheese itz on top. The drinks were good, too. Overall I was disappointed especially for the price. Nice presentation but thats pretty much it.

Maybe it’s just because I grew up in Sulphur Oklahoma, but this place was extremely unimpressive. I grew up around a thousand greasy diners that served the exact same food, but it would cost $15 for two.
My wife and I ate here for lunch today. I got a pretty good BLT, and she ate some fried catfish and mac & cheese with cheez-itz on top. Very creative, this would be very popular in Portland Oregon, unfortunately, here I can drive down to Sulphur and get my cousin Eli to catch me a catfish in the creek behind his house and make me the same meal for free.
Once again, the food was good, the service was excellent, the price was outrageous (in a bad way).

The Clam chowder was the best I have every had. BLT was loaded with bacon and all great ingredients. Service is relaxing and pleasant. Mike was perfect combination of how to serve. I’m definitely coming back for the chowder.

visited for a work reunion brunch. experience was not great….
ended up booking a reservation online through open table, the only option available for seating was “outdoor”, so when i arrived i expected outdoor seating. the host began taking me to an indoor table, when i clarified that open table states outdoor only, he was very snappy, and turned his tablet around to show me that i did not “note” that i wanted outdoor on the reservation. this was not a huge deal, but i think staff should not be passive aggressive to guests.
mike took care of us. despite the unsanitary issues that occurred, he was accommodating, and helpful,
(when he was able to be at our table).
we ordered two lorena breakfasts, pancakes, and a steak and eggs. it took a very long time for us to both order, and get our food. when the food arrived, after starting to eat, there were noted to be THREE 2 inch long scraggly hairs found in our food. hair found on 3 different dishes….we reported this to mike, he offered to remedy the situation, and asked us how we would like to do that. my friend who was obviously very uncomfortable with the situation (because the hair on her plate was cooked into her eggs), asked for a new plate, along with the pancakes. the other person said she was okay with keeping her plate.
after some time, a different server brought out the new food (which was prepared completely different, with hot sauce* spread all over the top, and a huge pile micro greens), the same gentlemen who was at the host stand(who i’m now assuming is the manager), came by and apologized for the hairs, clearly stated that “hair/beard nets are worn by all staff”, and that he was yet again sorry. mike did come by after quite sometime, and apologize as well.
the problem is that the only issue was not just with the hairs in 3/4 dishes…. the biscuits were also incredibly dry, all eggs that were ordered over easy, had whites that were completely uncooked, and the steak that was ordered medium, had zero pink. the pancakes tasted like bisquick, and were pretty much burnt.
when receiving the check, i would have at least expected one item to be taken off, but instead only two of the plates were discounted, with about $3-4 taken off of each…after THREE human hairs were found in the food (on 3 different plates)…
this experience was horrible. we will not be returning, and unfortunately no one in the party recommends this restaurant.

A true gem. You know you’re in for a treat as you walk up. Architecturally it’s appealing, just like the food served here. Someone has clearly decided to deliver 1st class food that is a modern take on southern home cooking. The clam chowder was as good as I hoped after reading other reviews. But the catfish. I usually shy away from cornmeal coatings as they are often thicker than the catfish filet and just not good. This dish was light and the cornmeal was an accent not a supporting cast member elbowing its way center stage. The Cole slaw is surprising with kale. To make my dish gluten free you could substitute for the Mac and cheese. I had red beans and rice. I had room for dessert and got the angel food cake. It was the perfect coda. My server Mekhi was just fabulous. Please try Lorena. You won’t regret it
