Oklahoma is famous for many things, one of which is the mouthwatering fried onion burger. This specialty burger was invented at Hamburger Inn in Ardmore in the 1920s during the Great Depression when meat was expensive and onions were cheap. The onions were mixed into the meat, caramelized, and crisped to help make the meat go further but little did they know that that penny pitcher idea would create a flavor that would have people falling in love with this creation. Today, you can find this delectable burger at several burger joints across the state, one of which is at Tucker's Onion Burgers.
Tucker's Onion Burgers is Oklahoma's first premier onion burger restaurant.
They have five locations in the Oklahoma City area, so the next time you visit OKC be sure and pay them a visit.
This old-fashioned burger joint boasts a vintage charm that will take you back to the 1950s.
You order at the counter then find a seat until your number is called to pick up your food. They also have self-serve drink stations.
You came here for the burgers, so let's get talking about the star of the show...
... the fried onion burger!
The onions are caramelized and crisped on the edges and cooked right into the meat on the grill.
Even people who don't like onions like these burgers.
On top of serving one of the best onion burgers in the state...
... they also serve old-fashioned shakes that are handmade, rich, and creamy.
And the fries are freshly hand-cut and made in 100% pure peanut oil.
With everything they make, they try and source the freshest, best ingredients.
The menu is small, only offering a chicken sandwich and salad, besides all the onion burger options.
The kid's menu does have a tasty grilled cheese sandwich and they also have vegan burgers, for those looking for non-meat options.
We really think these are some of the best burgers in Oklahoma!

One of the first restaurants to start serving onion burgers in Oklahoma was Sid's Diner. They still serve one of the best in the state and we highly recommend you try them out. It's a small place, only fitting a few diners but the burgers are outrageously delicious!
