Garage Burgers

[sooner88]

Meh, splurge once. One hamburger once in a while isn't going to make that big a dent in the "healthy" department. It's all about moderation.

My daughter tried the sliced turkey "burger", and I took a couple of bites, and it was very tasty.

I live upstairs and eat there way too often, just was wanting to have an option to balance out all the burgers haha. I'll try out the sliced turkey and the buffalo in the future.

I found the Midtown Garage to be a good burger. I would not classify it a a top burger in the city, however.

All things considered: location, speed, atmosphere, price point -- it's a solid burger. However, I'll take a Nic's Burger, or an S&B any day of the week.

I've been to S&B enough times that I have a lot of their plastic cups with me here in Portland. I use them around the apartment for soda or water cups. It's a nice memento from OKC, as well as a Fuzzy's Taco and Harkins Theater cups.

Some of my S&B cups are starting to fade, so may be time to stop in next time I am in town.

My family and I are regulars at the 122nd location. It's consistently good except for the fact that a few weeks back, they switched to a different type of pepper for their spicy options, and it's uncomfortably hot. Like, pure capsaicin hot. I'm a hot-sauce-on-almost-everything kind of guy, but they actually managed to ruin a burger for me with this chemical warfare. So I switched to the fried onion burger, which is pretty fantastic.

Finally went to the Midtown location yesterday.

The burger there was miles better than the one I had at the Garage in Edmond. In that first experience, I found everything to be okay but not a place I would seek out in the future.

But the burger I had yesterday was fantastic. I had the jalapeno bacon cheeseburger but not of those toppings overwhelmed the perfectly cooked and juicy patty.

Plus, that space is very cool. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be and virtually every table was full at lunch. But even so, placing an order was quick and the food came out plenty fast.

Plus, they have some great beers on taps served in a frosted pint glass -- no frosted glass at the Edmond location that I can recall.

I went here to watch the first OSU game and it was packed with OSU fans. I didn't really expect it to be a place for watch parties but it turns out it is perfect for that.

[Pete]

Yes, tons of big TV's well placed.

By contrast, I was at Fassler Hall last night and the TV's they have at the bar are far too high to watch comfortably, especially if you are sitting at the bar.

[gopokes88]

The patio space at the garage is pretty cool as well.

They also opened a location in stillwater at the old cowboy book.

Went to the I-240 location today. The Spicy Sriracha Bleu burger is now going on my regular rotation for lunch. Dang it was tasty!

I talked with them about that and they don't want to be sports bar, which is understandable. They stated they really don't like to play sound, unless there are a lot of requests.

The Garage near the Outlet Mall is almost complete.

I bet they'll be opening by the end of the month.

I have heard Dec 1st but I would image they would want to try and be open thanksgiving weekend in hopes to get shoppers. Then again new workers busy weekend might not be the best idea. Anyone else heard a date?

[Wishbone]

I eat at the Smashburger in the mall so glad to see The Garage going there as well. Also getting a new S&B in Mustang. Finally some choices!

I've eaten at The Garage in Norman twice and really enjoyed it both times. Nothing too complicated, yet. I first had the regular cheeseburger which is as good as any other "classic" cheeseburger I've had. The onion burger was also good, but I wouldn't try to compare it with Tucker's or a dedicated onion burger joint.

Funny experience: I was eating alone today and got up to refill my drink. I wasn't right next to the drink machine, but I wasn't too far away. I was gone less than 45 seconds, but by the time I got back to my table my 1/3-eaten fries had been thrown away and the table wiped down. They replaced the fries no question and they were busy and probably eager to clear the table (not that I had been there long at all), but I hope they typically spend a little more effort figuring out if someone has actually left before throwing uneaten food away. But, like I said, they replaced the fries with no trouble, so I can really complain. Mistakes happen.

Their onion burger isn't really an "onion burger" in the Tucker's / Nic's, etc. style. It seems like they just put sauteed onions on the burger. This is really the only burger on the menu that I would not order again.... the rest are all great.

It's not an onion-in-burger type of onion burger, no. But it's a delicious burger in its own right. It's my regular, in fact.

It's my regular too.

[sooner88]

It's my regular too.

And that's what is nice about the Garage... they have a ton of different burger options so someone can find one (or build their own) that appeals to them.

Eggonator. You're welcome in advance. Also, your cardiologist thanks you in advance for your business.

[shawnw]

Eggonator is what I get every time.

[White Peacock]

How does their Eggonator compare to the Royal at Red Robin? I can't go to RR without getting the Royal, or it's a waste of a trip. So horribly delicious.

[shawnw]

That's a tough choice actually. However, the BEST breakfast burger I've had is... wait for it... Bricktown Brewery (yeah, surprised me, too). They put a figgin hash brown patty on that sucker and man is it delicious...

And for the record, I've had it at the Bricktown, Owasso, and Ft Smith locations. Equally delicious. :-)

Adding hash browns really ups the ante. I'll have to give that a shot!

Ours too! But only in rotation with Loaded Queso and Chily Cheese Dogs.

Looks like they are very close to opening at the Outlet Shoppes; just took this tonight:

One complaint that I had was they don't have very many healthy options (i.e. grilled chicken). I haven't tried it yet, but they recently have added smoked, sliced turkey as a protein option.

They offer Bison burgers, which is actually very healthy and in my opinion just as good if not better than beef. I almost always substitute beef for bison if it's available at any restaurant.
