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

Oldest restaurant in Ardmore! Open till 3 pm. Closed Sun. & Mon. Small place but fun and nostalgic. Really great burgers made with fresh ground beef. Famous for grilled onion burgers but they have all types of burgers made anyway you wish. The homemade tater tots are very good too. Also great for breakfast with dynamite French toast and other great breakfast choices. read more

If you are looking for the quintessential American diner and coffee shop experience, Hamburger Inn nails it! Originally opened in 1938, the popular restaurant moved across the street in 1956 to a building decked out in fantastic mid-century modern architecture, decor and styling. Their reputation for great classic burgers and amazing fresh-baked pies is well-known, and the food quality during my visit did not disappoint. But the real story here is the owner, Elyssa. Youthful, bright and bubbly, she quickly greets you with a smile and truly authentic warmth. You can IMMEDIATELY tell Elyssa loves her place and also the people who come in to grab a bite and maybe shoot a little breeze. And these folks are bringing in their kids; introducing them to the fun of sitting at a counter, tackling a burger and tots -- and adding them to another generation of the Hamburger Inn fan base. I highly recommend you stop by, belly up, and enjoy a great time. And while you're awaiting your order, ask Elyssa about a certain photo proudly displayed for all to see. The twinkle in her eyes will make your day. read more

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! read more

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.... :-) read more

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. read more

Very good old-timey joint. Great service, great burgers and solid breakfasts. Small and cozy. I'd eat here evey week if I could.

GREAT little dinner/burger spot in downtown Ardmore. Looks like this place has been around for a while & the current owners are doing an amazing job of making sure it sticks around as a favorite staple of locals and visitors alike. Had a great onion burger with fries & a slice of chocolate pie to finish our meal off. You've gotta go check this place out for breakfast or lunch when you're in Ardmore. read more

The food and service were above average. The place needs some cleaning and a face lift.Paint peeling. The shelf where the large Cafe sign is, is dirty. The shelf where the salt and pepper and ketchup are,are dirty. The menus are dirty. The salt and pepper shakers are dirty. A few hours of cleaning and the place is a 5 plus! read more

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! read more

The place was a mess, run down and dirty. Owner needs to care more about the business and less about her next meal. Grill was unexcusable and fryer smelled like old grease. Don't waste your time or money on this pit read more

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! read more

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! read more

Stopped by recently while in the area and the food and service was top notch! It's super small inside but very charming, and definitely memorable. They cooked the food fresh to order, and the waitress was very kind. For two meals and drinks we spent shy of $20. Hope to be back! read more

This place is like stepping back in time. From the neon sign to the bar stools at the counter to the tile floors it felt like the 1950's. The modest menu includes a few things other than burgers but not surprisingly the burgers are the main attraction. The burgers are the old fashioned kind. Not the pre formed patties we get most everywhere. These are smashed fresh ground beef served up in a light and airy wonder bread style bun with a. Nice selection of toppings. I went for the grilled onions which were very nicely done to a soft and sweet delight. And they've got tater tots so what's not to like. To be clear we've come a long way in the burger world lately and these are not the worlds greatest burger. But they are really pretty good and served in an authentic (not contrived retro) setting and if you are in Ardmore, Oklahoma stop by for lunch. read more

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!) read more

Oh hamburger inn, where my love affair with slap your mama first began. It's my favorite place to come to for a quick, no fuss lunch. I usually get the classic burger and season it with slap your mama, and top the meal off with one of their delicious in house made pies! My favorite being buttermilk pecan pie. The ladies who work there are really sweet and the cooks remember the nuances of regulars. It's a great little diner and gets packed during lunch! read more

Food is very good and you get a lot for your money. Owners are cooks, waitresses, dish washers and in general good people. The place is small and not much seating but worth the wait. read more

Fantastic burger place. Delicious fries and onion rings as well. I would describe Hamburger Inn as being similar to the best hamburger place you knew about when growing up; the kind of place you would hop in the car and drive an hour for because you had a hankering for a great diner burger and fries. What's the difference between Hamburger Inn and that burger place you went to growing up? Its the wonderful owners and staff, especially Mary. Patrons were a mix of locals and folks stopping through town. Every customer was very happy. read more

This has been a family tradition. Great hole in the wall old fashioned restaurant. The burgers are consistent and so are the fries. They've upgraded their menu with some new versions of the old favorites. The girl at the counter was sweet, courteous, chatty and will to accommodate every request with a smile (Blonde sand very pretty). The prices were great. Never disappointed. Cash only The pies looked incredible but we were overly stuffed with two burgers and one order of fries. read more

My 70 year old father used to eat hamburgers from here when he was young. We met in Ardmore and took him to Hamburger Inn. He said they tasted just as he remembered. That's testimony to the quality and flavor of these burgers. Fresh cut fries put the experience over the top. read more

DO NOT GO HERE AT RISK OF GETTING A FOODBORNE ILLNESS!!! As a licensed food safety manager, I can tell you the health department should shut this place down for bad practices. Besides the fact food was being handled with bare hands (raw and cooked by the same sets of hands), they dropped my to-go order on the floor, the bag had apparently split open, picked everything up, put it in a new bag and tried to hand it to me. When I asked if that had really hit the floor, they weren't sure what to do. They eventually offered to remake it. I politely declined and left. Are you kidding me? How is this place still in business? read more

I was in Ardmore for a week for a work thing and of course I had to look up any local burger or BBQ places to check out while there. This was the first place I found and it looked like the perfect spot to check out. When I got there it was everything I expected, old fashioned (if just not old to be honest) building in a downtown location, neon sign, small seating area with counter seats as well. Got myself a delicious old fashioned burgers made the right way, no frills or anything, just some tasty beef. I don't recall the fries being good but Im not too concerned about that. I know some people are put off by it being cash only but if you are going to a small town, almost dive type place to eat, are you really expecting there to not be a chance its cash only? Seems a hard sell to me. If you are in Ardmore, give this place a shot. read more

I really enjoyed eating here. It is very small and was quite busy but we managed to score a couple of stools at the bar. Had quite a nice conversation with a couple sitting next to us. I ordered the original and was advised it was small. I was a relatively small burger but after it and an order of fries washed down with some good A&W root beer I was satisfied. The fries are among my favorite from anywhere and the beef in the hamburger patties was fresh and complimented wonderfully by the grilled onions, pickles and mustard I added. Service was a little slow but there was only one waitress. read more

Great food, great service. Every time we come to Ardmore we try to stop. Always enjoy eating the burgers. You will never go wrong.

Awesome local place with great food and awesome service! Seating is limited but worth the wait!

It's is sad!! I've waited 5 yrs for my daughters to get big enough to sit at the bar top on the old fashioned diner stools! I wanted to start a tradition with Daddy once a week, Wednesday lunch! A hamburger, the perfect daddy daughter meal! From one of the best places to get a burger, yet I didn't know they don't take credit cards, and when my disappointment showed, the server behind the counter, who has always been nice, had to be a smart ass!!! "You have a nice day!!!" Not knowing how important the moment was to me as a Father, she had to wreck it! This place was perfect, and now we will NEVER get to share it together! Service industry has gone to shit!! read more

Without a doubt, one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! The bacon was perfect, the omelet fluffy and the chocolate chip pancake was amazing. My family of 5 ate for $32 and we were stuffed!
