The burger at Earl's is the best thing they have there and much better than their BBQ.
I dont know if any of you get down to Altus often at all, but they have a place called Roberts Drive-In. It is amazing, they use fresh ground meat every day from the local store. Never frozen hand pressed patties. Its a great burger for the price.
Having taken it upon myself to sample most of what OKC has to offer in the way of burgers, I would have to say the best burger at the best value is Bunnys, either loc. I prefer the S. loc. personally my second choice would be "Nics" and third would be Roberts in El Reno, I highly recommend you try them all to see for yourself ! "Wimpy"
Did anyone try Burger King's left handed Whopper today?
Grill at Penn44 used to have some great burgers.
What about the Geronimo burger from the Orange Donut Shop (I think its called Geronimos, but all it says is Donut Shop on the sign) on MLK just south of 23rd. I found it a week or so ago and have already been three times. Burger and fries, 4.25$. Thats a good deal for that burger and especially in these times.
Had a double cheeseburger yesterday at Tastee Freeze in McAlaster, the best I've had in a long time.
1/2 lb buffalo cheeseburger w/ onion rings at the Cherokee restaurant, I-40 & US 281 west of OKC about 45 minutes. OMG!
Didn't want to start a new thread, so throwing it in here....

I've been to Meer's a few times. The first few were great but the last time I went the quality had decreased. I'm from Tulsa so I love Ron's. The one in Midwest City seems to be the closest to the ones I've had in Tulsa. I like Irma's. I don't understand why everyone is in love with Johnnie's. Bricktown Burger has a good burger but I haven't had one since I don't work close to that area now.
As we've said in the last 12 pages, it depends on the type of burger your wanting as far as who is the best.
Hands down, if I could have only one burger it'd be Nic's though.
I guess some people like hamburger that's been cooked to death
and crumbles.
Prunepicker,
Don't you know that Epicurious rated Meer's as one of the top ten burgers in the country? Based on that, my wife and I headed down there to give it a try. A nice store, an average burger at best. I knew of at least three places in the OKC area that had better burgers. Of course, this is subjective so, it's just my opinion. Like you, I won't go back unless I'm in the area and it's lunch or dinner time.

I've never had a burger at Meers Store that was overcooked, most of the time they were cooked fine. The last time that I was there was a couple of years ago. I will admit they can be a bit erratic in quality, I have had some great burgers there and some that were merely good, the service on the other hand tends to vary from decent to poor.
We go and get a Meer's burger each time we go hiking in the wildlife refuge - which is about 3-4 times a year.
I can remember raving over their burgers in the past, but the last 5-6 years the burger has been marginal at best.
Anymore we go for the 'experience' and honestly there is a complete lack a good places to eat in the area that are not serving menus full of deep fried this and that.
We usually rent a cabin and stay for the weekend in Medicine Park and bring our own meat and grill out with people in neighboring cabins. Much better experience IMO.
Haven't stopped at Meers in a spell. Generally I'm way more partial to their brisket than I am to their burgers when I go.
Prunepicker,
Actually, I have been to several of Epicurious' choices for top ten in bbq and I have to admit, they were pretty good. My favorite is Corky's in Memphis. But they really messed up on the hamburger. Crumble out of the bun? Yeah, that's a fairly good description.

The last time I was in Memphis, last year, I couldn't find Corky's. Is
it still open? I made a big mistake and went to Central BBQ. Very
dry. It tasted good but it was so chewy. I like Topp's and Neely's.
But Neely's isn't consistent. Topp's has added other items to the
menu, ribs, brisket, burgers. They used to only serve pork shoulder.
