If you're looking for one of the best family-friendly restaurants in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, make sure to stop by Lake Bums Grill & Buzz Bar. The cheeseburgers were absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Our kids had a blast eating inside the converted school bus, which made the experience just as memorable as the food. The outdoor atmosphere is fantastic with plenty of cornhole boards, giant Connect 4, great music, and lots of space to relax. We also appreciated that it's pet friendly, so the whole family, including your four-legged friends, can enjoy the visit. If you're visiting Broken Bow or Hochatown and want great burgers, a fun atmosphere for kids, outdoor games, and a laid-back place to spend an afternoon, this is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back on our next trip! read more

We tried out Lake Bums 259 since the new owners took over. We met friends here for burgers and the cheeseburger and fries sure did not disappoint. I think it is important to point out that this is a casual joint, and not an elevated dining experience. You want good burgers and fries, you got it! Enjoy the casual ambiance and novelty for what it is. Perfect for a casual meal after going to Broken Bow Lake! read more

What an interesting spot. We walked up and a window opened with a voice telling us to go to the bus and take a seat. We got on the old school bus and were met by the voice. A very friendly young man hated us and explained they had a limited menu due to it being the slow season. That was fine with us since we just wanted a burger to go. The order came out promptly. There was an issue with the card reader but they take cash and venmo as well. We went back to the cabin and checked out the order and were really impressed. The fries were well seasoned and not overcooked. They toasted up great in the oven layer. The burger was substantial and juicy. Next time we will just split one and get an extra order of fries. This will be in our rotation every visit. read more

Very interesting ambiance. Fire pit outside and the inside comprised of school busses gutted and replaced with table seating. Pretty fun concept. Came in December and they had a limited menu but they had burgers which is what I wanted. Got things to go, paid in cash as their card machine was not working. Burger was delicious! The fries were also well seasoned. I asked for condiments and they provided plenty read more

This is a cool spot for some good food and lowkey feel. It's larger than it seems as it's a trailer/ motor home when you pull up but they have a large inside with a back door area to relax at too. They don't have as many people working so caused for a little slower ordering process but the food and drinks were delicious and hot when brought to us. Definitely have to try the deviled eggs with the candied bacon on top it changed the whole taste profile and they also have tater tots available too read more

We've never been here before. My boyfriend and I are camping on the water and wanted to try out a few places... this was one of them. This place has so many cool features; corn hole, laser tag, escape room, axe throwing and a bar!!! I had left my purse and didn't realize til almost 2 hours later. Literally had no doubt in my mind that it had got stolen , I went back to check and the bartender that introduced us to the place and told us all about it, super nice guy. Had it waiting at the front for me. Truly are some amazing people in the world. It was the bartender working in this picture on 10/7 at 3:30 pm!! read more

This is the best meal we had in Broken Bow! The service was friendly and attentive. I had a burger and fries and my husband had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and fries. He also had an old fashioned. The food was delicious, great grill food. We had a piece of Betty White cheese cake that was to die for. The restaurant is casual and the music and atmosphere was fun. We will return! read more

The food was amazing the burger was juicy but not too juicy where there's just water the chips are alright The service is amazing the guys there are really kind they work hard is what I like The place overall has a warm Texan feeling and it reminds me of the old burgers from the 2000s there is a tv bar to watch games and they have wooden stuff everywhere it just has a really nice feeling to it read more

We called at 6:30 to confirm what time they closed. We were told 10 pm so we called back around 8pm and no one answered. We are pretty sad because we were really excited about the food read more

A group of us rented a cabin for a reunion of college friends. Thought we would check out this local bar. Mostly locals hang out here it appears. Service was slow and food was not that pleasing to the palate. The interior decor looked like everything out of grandma's attic - no style, theme or design. Restrooms were filthy. read more

If you're looking for a place where your taste buds can do the happy dance while your waistband expands in joyful surrender, look no further! This burger and wings joint is the stuff of legends. First off, the wings. I don't know what kind of sorcery they use in the kitchen, but these bad boys are so crispy and juicy that I'm pretty sure they could solve world peace if we just sent them to the right meetings. You want sauce? They've got more flavors than my wardrobe has bad decisions. I was practically sweating buffalo sauce halfway through and, honestly, worth it. Now the burgers. Sweet, merciful patty goodness. The moment it hit the table, I could hear my diet sobbing softly in the distance. Thick, juicy, and stacked higher than my weekend to-do list, this burger was an absolute unit. The bun was so soft it should come with a pillowcase. One bite and I was ready to propose to the chef on the spot. Service was so friendly that I half-expected them to follow me home and tuck me into bed afterward. And don't even get me started on the fries. Crispier than a dad joke at Thanksgiving. Long story short: if you like happiness and have a pulse, you need to eat here. If I could give it 6 stars, I would--but I think my cardiologist would have a heart attack. read more

The owner, Joshua and server were so awesome! Super laid back vibe, good vibe, a make yourself at home type atmosphere. We had a great time. The drinks and food were great. Left feeling like we found a little gem in Broken Bow. read more

Online said they were open until 10:00 but when we got there at 5:34ish there were a few people gathered at the front drinking and laughing, as we thought they were open, the worker quickly said they were closed and locked the door behind us leaving us confused :/ read more

Super cute locally owned place. Drinks were good; the bartender/server were not aware of kind of liquor that was on hand so it took an unnecessary amount of time to order. The food was good bar food and you can tell the cooks did their thing. There is a nice backyard where you can still order food and drinks. read more

We stopped in here and ordered a basic burger w/seasoned chips & the mayor, chicken sandwich, w/seasoned chips. I was so excited to try the chips but then this came out. They are not homemade chips. They just add their house seasoning to a bag of chips and we got crumbs as our side. Burger was good and most of the staff was friendly but I won't be going back. read more

Service. Not organized at all. Had us sit down. Never took order went back up to counter to order food. Took very long time to get food. Soda machine is out of most of the products, sweet tea cooler is also out of tea. One of our orders did not get made took 10 more minutes to get that. Food was very good. Not just worth the wait. They did not seem to be very busy either. read more

I never got the servers name but whoever was working today 12/29/24 you did an amazing job. This man was working the bar, taking orders, and serving food all by himself. I cannot express my gratitude enough for providing us with a great experience and being so friendly towards my kids. The food was absolutely amazing. The vibe of the restaurant was really cool as well! read more

One of the best burgers I've had in a while. The burger what cooked impeccably with the best, crispy sear on both sides. The cheese was the perfect thickness as well. Service, 10/10! Very attentive staff. The ambiance was amazing and giving exactly what the name would imply, lake life meets casual delicious dining. This place has an epic small town feel for a tourist like myself from Texas. read more
