Ozzie’s Diner recently announced its closure with a sign on its front door thanking customers for “support over the last 30 years.”
The diner, known for its all-you-can-eat style American food, closed due to COVID-19-related financial issues, according to a report from KOCO 5.
Ozzie’s Diner closed temporarily in October, 2019, due to renovations and reopened the following November.
Community members have expressed their disappointment with the long-time Norman staple closing on Twitter.

I just found out Ozzie's diner in #Norman #OK closed and I am devastated. What a fantastic, hidden gem. All you can eat made to order country breakfast with 50s-70s decor and on the runway of the airport. That was my weekend brunch spot. 😥

Ozzie's Diner in Norman has closed. 2020 has crossed a line and point of no return. This sucks.
