Also, scratch my earlier comment about Arnold's in Tulsa. A repeat visit was not as good. I mean, still a very good drug-store burger, but not the mouthwatering version I had a few months ago.

I hate it when that happens. I grew up in the Tulsa area and Harden's was the place to go to. The best burger I ever had and you couldn't tell me otherwise. This was in the late 80's, early 90's. Went back six years ago to their new location and it wasn't anything like I remembered it. My friend that I went with said it went downhill, but it might have been that my tastes changed as well.
My vote is ROBERT'S in El Reno. Has a better vibe and the prices are a little better.
The counter only sitting seems more authentic in capturing that early 20th century lunch place. SID'S and JOHNNIES lack that ambiance.
that store next to the crows roost bar at fort cobb by the motel has awesome burgers. I have an aunt that lives on the lake and every time we go there we get a burger.
been a few years since I've been wonder if it is still there?
not sure what the name is but its right next to the crows roost and next to the little motel.
I've always thought that was an amazing burger
edit: no it is not ski boy the place I am talking about is at the lake by the bar which is by the motel called easter's side motel
thought it was fort cobb lake store but that isn't it oh well
Oh, I know what you are talking about now. I haven't had that place. The Ski-Boy is actually south of the lake as you get into Fort Cobb town. My wife, who grew up in western OK, has no recollection of a place next to that bar. She has only ever known of getting burgers at the Ski-Boy when at Fort Cobb Lake
the only reason I know about it is because I've stayed at the motel next to the little dive bar that is next to the store and they have breakfast etc and would let me order a cheeseburger for breakfast but like i said it has been years since I've been.
Just talked to my aunt that lives in at the lake and she said it was called the crows roost store which is no longer there
I remember a place that burned down maybe that was it
I just had for the first time and onion burger at Nick‘s off of Pennsylvania. That was a f@cking burger. One of the best I’ve ever had. It might just be the best burger I’ve had to date.
I still contend the burger I had at Bunny’s pretty good. Nowhere near Nics though. I plan on trying Sids tomorrow on my way out.
Someone who gets too much credit made a list of the Best Burgers in OKC for VisitOKC.com. He seems to omit a certain local favorite, making me wonder what everyone else thinks. It also makes me wonder why he has beef, pun intended, with the omitted location.
I am also struggling to figure out what local favorite place he left off. He hit everybody in my regular rotation around here. Maybe, we can get a response and I will feel bad about forgetting someone. I sure hope the response is not about S&B, Tucker's, or The Garage.
It looks like my responses were deleted. I was speaking of New State. I think it is my favorite burger in town, even if it isn't the style of a traditional Oklahoma Burger. I have never been to Au Cheval, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were inspired by a certain restaurant.
For sure New State has one of the best normal burgers in the city. I say normal as in non-specialty, not lots of toppings type of burger.
Shenanigans abound in food reviews. Even Bar Arbolada's burger hype came from someone locally who had a connection with Alton Brown, or at least thats what I was told.
I mean, but the hype was totally worth it when I went. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was given the hype, but well deserved.
Still doesn't beat the BLC at Spark nor an on point Tucker's burger.
I've been to New State twice and I just don't know what to order. Texas Toast is a non-starter which eliminates 40% of their beef-burger options. I don't understand that place for $10+ a burger...at all
