Braum's is doing exactly what is expected of any drive-thru for fast food restaurant. If your going to get Milk or any other grocer products, don't be such a lazy butt, and walk in and get it yourself instead of having someone "fetch" it for you because your in your P.J.'s.

Braums used to have great burgers but something happened to them. I don't know what the difference is but their burgers do not taste the same as they used to. The last couple of times I went into Braums I was very disappointed in my burger. Do they taste different to anyone else or have my taste buds just changed?

My milk jug cap has a label on it that says

rBGH FREE
Our Private Dairy Herd is
NOT treated with rBGH

No significant difference has been shown
between milk from rBGH treated
and untreated cows.


Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH)

Bovine somatotropin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_somatotropin)

Haven't they had this on there for awhile now? Maybe it depends on which Braum's you go to.

Oh....... so what are you saying? That we get the OLD milk in Chickasha? hahahahahahahaha

Hubby buys 2 gallons weekly and this is the first time we have seen it.

Yes, I have been seeing that label since around Christmas. My inlaws were in town for the holidays and noticed it. They are big health people so they noticed it before I did.

WoW...weird, in and of itself.

Essentially since the Braum's Dairy is in Grady County.

^I've been seeing that label since around December as well. rBGH is a hormone that makes cows produce more milk, artificially of course. My stance on the issue is the same I have for anything artificial: as far as possible, I avoid eating it or drinking it. I drink mainly organic milk these days (certified organic, not the crap Horizon sells-their organic milk isn't really organic anyway, since their cows are fed on grains like silo-stored corn, ugh).

Hubby is a major milk drinker 'round here. At least 2 gallons a week.

I have a little with cereal or choc milk.

Guess the label just got to our area.

Maybe the issue has just gotten more media so now it goes on all caps.

i havent been to braums for a while. how do the milk prices compare to the super markets?

Hubby prefers Braum's to anything else. He says it tastes better - fresher.
Also, Hiland has good choc milk and reg milk.
Farm Fresh was always pretty good to me.

Braum's seems to have a smoother quality to it. It mixes with chocolate syrup better than the others and I never have any choc that settles to the bottom. It has a sweeter taste than the others.

Utilized in cooking, it stirs in very well with omelets, potatoes....etc...

It doesn't have that opaque look to it in a glass. It is milky white not watery looking.

Growing up in rural OK we had milk cows, and after straining most of the cream off, (one didn't strain it all off and most of the hand/milking/straining was through a cloth) so you had milk that looks like Braum's. A rich creamy appearance of well blended milk. We only drink whole Vit D milk.

Braum's only utilizes Holstein cows, too.

That may make a big difference.

My son with a crew chops the alfalfa for Braum's so I was out there severalmany times and looked around.

Their cows are in a huge covered barn that has water sprayers going to keep it clean when they are not being milked. The farm always looks really clean, too. All of the equipment, the barns, the ponds, the land........it is all very clean.

I really don't know much about the other dairys.

And Braum's sells cheaper.

We have never gotten any BAD milk or even near being outdated.

i have also seen that for a few months now (we go through a good 2 gallons a week)

I always had braum's milk growing up and now I can't drink any other! i love braums

The new Braums at 39th and Tulsa opened on Monday. If anyone would take a picture and post we could see the new design. It is quite different from other stores I have visited. The outside uses a lot of stonework and the inside is more segregated between the grocery side and the restaurant side.

I worked for Braum's for 3 years. The problem isn't that they're slow (I even smirked when I read that!), it's that there poorly designed. When the person in front of you orders 6 banana splits, than you're going to have to wait. Braum's structure and food offerings are not built on speed. That's why you'll get to the window and have a melted cone. Yours was made first because it was simple, meanwhile the other guy is making 15 large shakes. Braum's is a great restaurant, and I enjoyed working there. In fact, if I had to, I wouldn't mind going back as a store manager, but they need a training overhaul. The staffing models they use are way off. They run a barebones crew, when you need extra because of the time it takes to make their products.

nothing against you superchris, but for me braum's seems to be routinely slow whether or not they are busy. -M

...and routinely run by retarded, under-supervised, high-schoolers.

Hopefully the Braum's along I-35 in the Lewisville-Denton, Texas, area is getting replaced. It is definitely one of the OLD designs. Does anyone know if it is planning to be rebuilt? I can't believe corporate has allowed it to remain there for so long. Its signage is definitely way out of date.

Right now the stores they have on the list to replace are the smaller model non drive thru stores.
They are also remodeling some of the other stores that do have drive thrus but there aren't as many of those they are doing.

Well...I won't deny that!

This is probably because of the retards!

Or if you live in Norman and have driven down Lindsey just east of campus, you've seen this store model for almost a year now. Definitely an improvement.

For those still wanting to see what the new stores look like, you can access a page on their newest store here: Braum's Ice Cream! (http://www.braums.com/whatsnew.asp?id=107)

Also, you can see a larger image at this location: www.lippertbros.com/images/pic-braums1-big.jpg (http://www.lippertbros.com/images/pic-braums1-big.jpg)

I must confess that these are remarkably better looking than previous Braum's stores. As a native Oklahoman, I really missed Braum's for the 16 months I was temporarily located in Orlando, FL.

Anyway... for what it's worth, thought I'd share the pictures.

I AM PS3 (http://iamps3.spaces.live.com)

Meh. Looks like it belongs at Kelly & Covell in Edmond.

Thanks for posting those pictures I AM PS3. I drove by the new Braums on 39th and Tulsa almost every day while they were building it and didn't recognize it as a Braums until I saw the distinctive B on the building when it was pretty close to being done. I even knew a Braums was going in close to there but the address that someone posted on this site was a few blocks to the west of the where the building actually went in.

I certainly hope the braums on 19th in moore is expedited to #1 on the list of renovations. Its a piece of crap and the wood paneling is awful!

Service may suck, buts some of the best ice cream known to man!

If it has a drive-thru it may be awhile before it is replaced. If it does not have a drive-thru, it will be one of the 59 they are planning on replacing.

I hope Braum's could take some stock in the maintenance of their stores, old or new. There's a great disparity among stores in fairly close proximity to each other, in terms of cleanliness.

As an example, the store at SW 89th east of Penn is usually not very clean - heck, I don't even like to go in there anymore - but the store on S. Western just north of 119th is usually very sharp. Don't get that, as fastidious as Braum's seems to be about everything else...

-Dave

The one one 18th and Classen is pretty nice. I tell ya, Braum's has the best hamburgers around.

I admit that I do 98% of my shopping at walmart and crest for convince reasons but I do like to get milk and ice cream from braums when I can. Im curious though about the new larger braums with the expanded market area. According to their website the are ones open in okc (along with mwc and some other areas. But they don't go on to say which stores they are.
Does anyone know which locations offer the larger "W" concept?

I shop at the new Braums at 39th and Tulsa which I guess has the new concept. The restaurant portion is physically separated from the market side by a wall. I shop there all the time for milk, eggs, and other dairy as well as salads and produce. I think I have only been to the restaurant side 1 time and I have been in there at least once a week since they opened.

I'm not a fan of the slow slow service on the meal side (though I found one, and thus far only one, notable exception, the Braum's in Perry OK. Those folks be FAST!)

Their milk products are excellent, I will give them their due

The W concept maybe the new remodel they are doing to the older stores.

The store at NW Expressway and Meridian was recently remodeled to a new format. The store near 89th and Penn is currently undergoing that same remodel.

There is one that went under a complete change on 15th, way out there, I think passed Douglas or Midwest Blvd. Not sure, I forgot the name of the street, but it is across the street from the new Buy for Less. It's close to Choctaw.

I know of one at 15th and Post in Midwest City by the Blockbuster, and Buy For Less.

They also have the larger format at the Braum's in Choctaw.

There's one at around 17th and classen blvd. It has fruits, veggies, meats and snack type foods. It's nice, but small, and one could not do their full grocery shopping there. But if you just need something quick then it is pretty convenient.

There is another Braum's thread talking about the remodel and it listed the stores. If you're curious, you may want to do a search for a list of stores getting the remodel. Most that I've noticed have it now. It's nothing to write home about. The one on NW 39th and Tulsa is probably the nicest I've seen, but it still is ugly and out of place. I will never get the Braum's family marketing and design strategy.

What?!?!?! No blueberry cheesecake?

Sigh, y'all just don't love me, that's what the problem be. But, I'll give ya props anyhows if the blackberry and creme be good. Does it come sans almonds, or are they already ground into the mix on the production end of things?

mixed in already all our ice cream that has nuts and thing are mixed in and i hear ya about the blueberry cheesecake

okie doke. I doubt an almond or three will do me any permanent damage. No allergies, don't really even detest nuts, but I'm not real crazy about them either.

Blackberries on the other hand, YUM! Even the memories are tasty when you're talking blackberries. I'll have to swing by one today.

Whatever happened to the Brownie Batter they introduced a year or so ago?

The best is the Pumpkin during the holidays.

why cant they make the yogurt cheescakes yumm,, all the good flavored ones are in the fat ice cream catagory : (

sounds great, thanks for the update!

support your local braum's!

Whatever happened to the Brownie Batter they introduced a year or so ago?


brownie batter is still available

Braum's needs to get serious with the clinliness standards though. I went to my local Braum's on 12 th street in Moore a couple of weeks ago and man was that place a wreck and nasty nasty nasty. Ice cream and food strewn everywhere behind the counter malt machines filthy and covered in all kinds of differnt ice cream leftovers, some of the employees are downright nasty looking too long hair hanging down on guys and hickies on necks I was going to order something till i saw all of this and it made me cringe so I got something from the freezer instead. They pour milk from gallon or 1/2 gallon jugs of whatever the employee decides to grab from the regular consumer case at the time be it whole or 1% or that fat free junk, there is no standard and then they leave it sitting out on the counter the whole time to get warm and with the lid off so flies can land on top of or go in it ewww. Braums seriously needs to clean up there act or they are going to loose me as a customer.

they really are dirty, i stopped buying ice cream there, all the edmond locations are dirty , will never go to braums again unless i need to buy some onions

Is Peanut Butter and Pretzel still available? Thanks for the updates!

What?!?!?! No blueberry cheesecake?
That was a friends favorite, my favorite was Cinnamon Crumbcake that they had around Christmas time many years ago.

We stopped at the one in Hillsboro, Texas yesterday on the way back to Austin from Fort Worth. Picked up some Vanilla Chunky Chocolate instead of the usual Peanut Butter Cup. I noticed the case was pretty empty, I guess that was making room for the new flavors. I did see the pretzel flavor there.

Love their milk, love the shakes and ice cream, but I continue to need mild sedatives or stronger to survive waiting on their cooked areas to get it together, and then for them to re get it together in order to match the actual freakin order.

Once gotten correctly, so sad that rarely is it on the first try, I'd put most of B's burgers up against anyone's, but I'll never confuse B with a fast food place. I've been to many outlets, in the metro and elsewhere, and only the one in Perry was impressive on speed and correctness of order both

Is Peanut Butter and Pretzel still available?

that sounds really good, i've never seen or heard of it.

that sounds really good, i've never seen or heard of it.

You have got to try it! If it's still available.

pomegranate sherbet sounds yummy!

we are also going to start having some new sandwiches next week or so i have been told not sure what they are but they will have chipotle mayo on them doesnt get any better than that

Any chance Braums could open an updated store in the downtown triangle district??

People are screaming for a downtown grocery store, but I think a Braums would be welcomed, especially with the growing market that they have. Not to mention being able to get the ice cream and burgers at an urban Braums.

Just a suggestion.

The new ice cream flavors sound great too.

okclee, they were already propositioned to open one in triangle and declined last year.

Would be perfect there. That's too bad.

Braums is great! But I have to say, their stores tend to be...on the dirty side....

Would be perfect there. That's too bad.

Personally, I would rather NOT have a Braum's in Downtown. The service is very slow,the stores are ugly,and as thomas said, their stores tend to be dirty, and it seems there is a big disconnect between the stores and their corporate office.

With the remodel design that they had rolled out, I think they should build one in Bricktown.

No, in no way is the new design urban. Letting McDonalds have a large parking lot and drive through was bad enough. We need to keep the suburban out of Downtown. The remodel, while better than the old Braums, is still hideous, it is even more suburban. Please keep Braums out of downtown, or if they do come, force them into an urban design.
