Café Alley (Ardmore)
Behold, the Southern Favorite! Café Alley serves up a ½-pound premium Angus beef patty grilled to your liking and topped with house pimento cheese, smoked bacon, a fried green tomato and all the fixin’s on a brioche bun. It’s easy to see why this local favorite has been running strong since 1986. When traveling through Ardmore, you have to make a pit stop here.

Fat Bully’s (Sulphur)
Nothing beats a burger and a view of the lake. After enjoying a day on the Lake of the Arbuckles, stop into Fat Bully’s to chow down on a classic cheeseburger or even something a bit spicier. The “Burnout” comes with Sriracha, spicy mustard, pepper-jack cheese and grilled jalapeños. If you’re up for the challenge, try the 3-pound “Death by Meat,” a ½-pound patty topped with bacon, pulled pork, American cheese and BBQ sauce in a brioche bun. Fat Bully’s is open for lunch and dinner Friday-Sunday.

The Winston (Norman)
Mix things up with a Truffle Shuffle Burger from The Winston. Served smothered in sautéed onions and jalapeños, cheddar, adobo mayo and sour cream, this mouth-watering creation is perfect for when you’re craving that rich, umami flavor. You can sub the beef for a garlic quinoa vegan patty or go for the gluten-free bun if you feel so inclined. We also recommend giving the spicy sweet fries a go as well.

The Garage and Nic’s Place Diner and Lounge both have locations in the district on Robinson. Whether you’re in the mood for a piled-high side of fries from The Garage or a drink in Nic’s cozy basement bar lounge, you can count on top-notch burgers. Just west of the Plaza District is Nic’s Place Diner and Lounge predecessor, Nic’s Grill, which has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri and named the “best burger I’ve ever had” by actor Colin Farrell on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Be sure to take advantage of Ludivine’s $12 Blue Plate Burger Mondays, a great price for the made-from-scratch Wagyu burgers they serve in the bar beginning at 4 p.m. until supplies last.
