    Hamburger Inn...love the vintage sign.
    Susan S.

    The onion burgers here are amazing! You can't get this in the OKC area. This place has been in Ardmore since 1938 and it is the original onion burger joint. It started in El Reno before Robert's and Johnnie's, but moved to Ardmore in 1938. The onion burgers are so flavorful and not greasy. The Original is my favorite. The hand cut fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The onions are sliced so thin and grilled into the meat. When you walk inside this place, you are transported back in time. It's a small place with 2 tables and about 12 stools around the counter. The staff are very friendly! Of course I'll be back!

    Classic old school burger joint with the best onion rings I've ever had. Right off Main Street. Established in 1938

    This place is a great little Mom-and-Pop serving breakfast and lunch. It's tiny..... maybe seating for 25 people total between the counter and the four small tables. But man, do they have great burger!!!! A good down home feel with friendly service! We'll definitely be back when we're in town.... :-)

    First of, folks who work there are super friendly. They treat you like you're a regular even if they've only met you for the first time. The quality of the ingredients and dishes is great. It can get pretty crowded though since it's a small hole in a wall establishment . I love the character of the restaurant though. It might be a great idea if they can add an outdoor dining area.

    Cozy booth with a view of downtown Ardmore!

    This is an Ardmore classic! Delicious onion burgers, golden tater tots, fresh cut fries and lots more. They are incredibly friendly, serve food quickly, and ask you if you'd like to-go drinks when you leave. We need to save room for pie next time because they all looked so good! The interior is small, but loaded with nostalgia and charm. We love to stop here on road trips!

    Southwest breakfast platters and a kids egg pancake and Turkey bacon combo. It was a great, filling serving and so glad we chose here for breakfast. THE TURKEY BACON WAS SUCH A NICE SURPRISE! It was absolutely delicious and I will love to try it for lunch next time we are in the area. Loved chatting with the staff and the atmosphere was very nostalgic. We were brought in my the retro street sign. Very impressed all around. Definitely stop here!

    Worth the wait for a burger that feels like your stepping back in time. Friendly staff and good food. Small venue so plan on waiting did a seat or rubbing shoulders with a friendly local.

    The stuff road trip dreams are made of... the kind of place where you're lucky to snag a coveted spot at the counter where the worn Formica patches show just how beloved it's been over the years. At the Hamburger Inn, the friendly waitress knows the regulars by name - not to mention their regular order as well. But she's just as genial to the first timers fresh off the road. Burgers are big and come served on toasted buns, with a variety of topping combos to choose from. The onion rings and tater tots are crisped to perfection. "Miss Brenda's been banking our pies for 14 years" our server informed us as we perused the options. "We start each day with 4, but they never last long." We opted for chocolate, with 4 forks. ("I had to give you the biggest slice since you're sharing," she said with a grin.). It was heavenly. Crust and chocolate filling still slightly warm, and topped with fluffy merengue perfection. The small town charm can't be beat either - from the saddles lined up next door to the quant holiday decor adorning the street. A stellar road trip pit stop!

    Look in the case for the homemade pies!

    Why did I give you 4 stars? Because of nostalgia. When you're looking for that old time feeling of a hamburger joint of the golden olden days, look no further than Hamburger Inn in downtown Ardmore, Oklahoma. For $2.99 you can get an old fashioned burger with mustard and cut up lettuce and onion and tomato, just like the burgers you remember. It's cheap and it's good. You get to sit at the counter and watch the people behind the scenes push out burger after burger from that well-used grill in the back. Plus, you might catch a whiff of small town gossip, too. That's always fun! It's not the big city variety of burger loaded with a fried goose egg and dribbled with truffle sauce, but who needs that every time you eat a burger. Sometimes, you just wanna feel like you have sunk into a chair at grandma's laminate table in her homey kitchen, have taken a big sigh, and are waiting for grandma to bring her best homemade, stove top burger straight to your waiting lips. It's time you tried this place. Think about grandma when you do. (P.S. They have homemade pie, too!)

    First timer.. it was good but not as good as I expected to be! Breakfast was better though

    I second the generational recommendation of this place. One of the best examples of the great Oklahoma onion burger.

    It was a cool, Sunday morning and finally decided to stop and try this little place out. Let me…read moretell you that the parking lot was full as well as the waiting lobby. They told me it would be about a 10 minute wait and that was about what i waited before being seating. I knew by the way this place was packed and people willing to wait, that it must be worth it. I was not disappointed. As soon as i was seated i was greeted by my server and ordered a coffee and a Dr. Pepper. This gave me a couple of minutes to look over the menu. Before i knew it, in the blink of an eye and before i could scan over the forst page of the menu, the server was back woth my coffee and drink. While sipping on my coffee i browsed the menu and found what inwanted for breafast. Which by they way, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I ordered the double (see pic of menu for desription) As i watched the room noticing that as soon as a party left the bus boys were on the table quickly to clean and turn it over and the hostess already had the next group ready to be seated. This explained while the wait wasnt as long as expected as they turn over tables quickly. The next thing is knew, my food was at the table, hot and fresh. The food didn't disappoint either as it was all cooked perfectly and had good flavor. My server checked on me as what I consider perfect timing and the right amount of times where you are not bothered but dont have to look around for a refill or assistance. All in all, this place was a quaint little country kitchen, with excellent service and food. They are well staffed to handle the crowds with ease and plenty of cooks to get your food out in a timely and fresh n hot manner. Awesome place.

    Good food and Service. The owners name is Phil Tabor. We…read moreknow this because we stopped in around 8:40am on a Sunday. It was busy but we got sat as soon as we walked in. There were lots of waitresses in there with t-shirts on with Phil's face on them. I guess it was his birthday and they surprised him. It was good to see that they all love him. This is an old cafe. The seats aren't the most comfortable, but pretty expected since we were in a cafe. You could tell there were lots of locals in there. My mom got the blueberry short stack. She said they were great. Came out with three pancakes that had the blueberries cooked inside and on top. Pancakes were the size of a plate. They filled her up and she couldn't eat them all. My dad and husband got regular breakfast items. Toast, eggs, bacon, and hash browns. It all looked good and they ate all of it. I had the chicken fry with white gravy, 2 eggs, grits, and hash browns. All of my food was good. I was a bit disappointed in the gravy because it didn't seem homemade. Hash browns and eggs cooked perfectly. Grits were hot. No special flavors. Sorry I forgot to take photos.
