If you're on a mission to find the best burger in Oklahoma, like I am, then let me point you to your first stop--The Patty Wagon. I recently picked up the Burger Passport and kicked things off here, and honestly... it was the perfect place to start. I had been here about two years ago and remembered being impressed--but this visit confirmed it. Saturday night? Packed. Only a couple tables open, steady line, great energy. That's always a good sign when you're chasing great burgers. We ordered, grabbed a table, and settled in for about a 15-minute wait--no problem. Now came the real challenge... Do I play it safe with a classic burger... or go off the rails? Then I saw it. The Chef Special: "The Nutty Narc." A single patty topped with thick-cut bacon, peanut butter, and a dollop of marshmallow. Yeah... you read that right. Most people might hesitate--but if you're serious about finding the best burger, you've got to be willing to explore the full menu. I'm not just here for the basics--I'm here for ALL of it. And let me tell you... this burger was an experience. Sweet, savory, salty--completely outside the norm, but somehow it works. Not for everyone, but definitely for someone like me who's willing to take the ride. Meanwhile, my wife went the smarter route--build-your-own with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheddar. Classic. Balanced. And after one bite... I can confirm--it was excellent. Now let's talk fundamentals, because this is where great burger spots separate themselves: The Bun. This is a big one for me. Does it hold up? Does it fall apart halfway through? The staff was rocking shirts claiming they have the "best buns"... and I'll back that up. Soft, structured, and held together from first bite to last. That's how it's done. The Fries. We tried both the hand-cut and sweet potato fries. Solid across the board--good, but not the star of the show. And that's okay... because the burger is the show. The Vibe. Laid-back, energetic, and full of people who clearly know where to get a good burger. That kind of crowd tells you everything you need to know. Final Take: The Patty Wagon delivers--whether you stick with a classic or take a wild swing like the Nutty Narc. If you're serious about burgers in OKC, this place belongs on your list. This is just stop #1 on my Burger Passport journey... and if this is the starting point, I'm in for one hell of a ride. Rating: (for the burger alone) Fries? Good. Buns? Legit. Creativity? Off the charts. read more

We had heard so many great things about this burger spot--especially from a neighbor who raved about it, but I ended up not liking it as much. The space is casual and reasonably clean, and it definitely gets busy during lunch. Be prepared to wait, as everything is cooked to order. I ordered the single patty combo. Our meal ended up being more expensive than other burger joints we've tried, especially since everything is à la carte--including sauces--which adds up quickly. It would've been nice if they provided a tray for the food, too. As for the burger, the beef patty lacked seasoning, so the focus really fell on the toppings--but even then, the overall flavor was pretty flat. The bun was too sweet for my taste. The fries were also a miss--more burnt than crispy. That said, their housemade sauces were a highlight. The ranch and fry sauce were both really good and added some much-needed flavor. Small detail, but I also appreciated that they have Coke and Dr Pepper. Service is counter-style, but the staff who brought out our food were warm and friendly. She even told us to leave everything on the table, and she'd take care of it once we were about to leave. read more

I have a group that goes around the city trying all the burgers. We rate burgers at the end and average the scores. So far...Patty Wagon is at #1. I'm thinking it might be hard to beat as well read more

Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Will definitely be back. One of the best burgers I've had.

This place is amazing. It has an old drive-in feel. They have a decent sized private parking lot that is shaped like a drive in. They also have a drive through and an adequate sized dining area. The restaurant specializes in burgers. They have an assortment of signature burgers to choose from. you can get tots or fries to go with your burger. The ffries are hand-cut and looked amazing. I saw them after I had ordered tots. They also have sandwiches and chicken tenders on the menu. The staff there is very friendly and helpful. They gave off a family type vibe. They do not have table service, you have to place your order at the counter and then they wwill call your name and bring it out to you when you it is ready. I ordered a Jailhouse Blues Burger with my tots. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be brought out and it was so delicious. One of the better ones that I have ever had. It was packed with flavor and was so tatsy. It also had some size to it. I was not asking wheres the beef with this burger. This place lives up to all of its hype. They have some delicious burgers and firts class service. I am glad that I made it here and highly recommend checking this place out if you are looking for a mouth watering burger. You will not be disappointed. read more

Very impressed with the workers. Friendly nice looking girls working hard. Saw constant cleaning, very organized. You order at front. Menu on a very confusing chauk board or a copy on counter. Ordered Red Dirt and Jailhouse blues. Both good. Fries are really good! Not a fancy place but super clean. read more

My favorite burger for the metro. If you want to feel like you're in an old down burger spot then go here. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. I love their fries, and the double cheeseburger. Such a gem in the community. read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had! Patty Wagon has it DOWN! We were in town just three full days and, after finding this incredible hidden gem here on Yelp, opted to try it! We ate here two of the days and it was hands down the favorite! I love that they serve local, grass fed meat and have so many options on their menu. Turkey, chicken, beef, lettuce-wraps, different side options, etc.- so good! read more

When it comes to burgers, I rarely give a restaurant a 5 stars. Most of the time, I find the burgers to be "too overbearing" whether it's too unbalanced, too fatty, too meaty, or having no vegetables. Patty Wagon is one of the few burger places that I feel has the most balanced burgers. I am especially referring to their Red Dirt Burger. Juicy patty, cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, and BBQ sauce are sandwiched between brioche buns. It may sound like a lot but the combination just works to create one delicious treat. Excellent burgers combined with a fast and friendly service make Patty Wagon the burger shop to beat. To me, it has no competition. It is my highest recommended place to grab a hamburger in Oklahoma, and I don't care how old the building is. read more

Greated as I walked in. Checked over menu online before arriving. Settled on red dirt burger. Smiles behind the counter with the staff.! Wowed by the service right off the start! My hunger ways got ahold of my decision making and I looked at the menu board and mumbled something that made sense to the server...Bacon BBQ sauce burger with a small side of fries...coming right up sir. The service was top notch. The flavors of the burger ...life changing. The fries were piping hot ... . This place knows how to get someone's hunger taken care of. I came in hungry, I left fatter and happier. Thank you Patty Wagon for satisfying my stomach! I will return. The girls loved their food and the coloring sheets getting hung up! Smelled good in the place. Cozy seating. Bathroom was clean! My coworker got the green chili Gouda burger special. He lived in New Mexico for a time and loved the burger. Respectfully, Bryan Yukon Oklahoma read more

Went on a Saturday night when they were really busy. Even so, the staff was friendly and didn't appear to be overly stressed. they were also upfront that it would take about 20 minutes. It ultimately took 35 minutes to get our burgers but it was WORTH IT. Our group all agreed that those may have been the best burgers we've ever had. The buns are soft and dense and grilled on both sides. The patties were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The toppings were quality and fresh. As for the environment, it's not much to look at (think it might have been an old McDonalds) but that's just part of vibe and it works. I will be back! read more

When you think of a good burger without all the extra mess this is where you want to go. My husband got their taser and really liked it. I liked my regular burger but it was heavier and greasier than I would've preferred, but honestly it's kinda the vibe of the place. My husband says it's the best burger in OKC so we'll be back! read more

Patty Wagon - Burgers Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Little small inside, but damn if it ain't good. Them buns are heaven. 10/10 would recommend. Great service too.

I don't live in OKC so this is tough to get to but some nights I just dream about this burger. It was so intense. I went there on a date with my fiancé and we didn't speak at all once our food showed up. We were both completely enraptured by the intensity of the buttery good ness. Also the milk shakes. Wonderful. Everyone was also in a good mood. Happy employees make great food. read more

Best burger in the city! Definitely recommend going there. Service is incredible, everyone there is super nice. This place is a must try.

This place is soooooo good. I highly recommend you give them a try. It's always busy so go when you have plenty of time to wait for one of the best burgers in OKC. The onion rings are to die for. You cannot go wrong with any choice of burger. read more

Great fries and the burgers are cooked the old fashion way, superb!! Home cut fries are a must.

Okay this place is very good and if you think you won't like it then you are wrong. My only "complaint" is that they are a little heavy on the salt but who isn't. Great value for price and I think a must try when in okla! read more

I placed my order at 1:33 PM and was told it would be ready at 2:12 PM. When I arrived, I was told it would be another 30 minutes. I came back again and was told it still wasn't ready and to park. At 2:42 PM, I finally received my food -- over an hour after placing the order -- and it was cold. To make matters worse, the same employee who told me she would bring my food out came back and asked me what the name was for the order, which made it feel very disorganized. There was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. For a $40 order, I expected much better service and at the very least warm food and basic communication. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. read more

Ive probably had 10,000 burgers in my life all across the country and beyond. Ive been patronizing the Patty Wagon for years, have NEVER seen it as busy as Friday afternoon (Fri-13th)... I ordered mine to go just to have a place to sit.. the entire time I keep thinking this is absolutely the BEST burger Ive ever eaten. A shame.. because now I can never have another.. Once youve had the best, anything else just serves to disappoint. It truly was epic. read more

Local diner like vibes. No frills just a good burger. Wagon sauce is excellent but I wish my burger had more sauce. Next time I'll have to order more. Onion ring and burgers are freshly fried. Good for a quick meal! Staff was busy but still friendly and kind! Packed house all the time! read more

Wow, really good. We had a Big John Burger, a Beanie burger and a Taser burger, fries and drinks. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We received our order within like 5 minutes, everything was hot. All three burgers were all excellent in their own right, hot, juicy and tasty. The fries were equally great. They really do have awesome buns there! We will be back for sure. read more

Locally owned spot with fantastic, homemade food using real ingredients. Everything was cooked perfectly. The only drawback is the price: my blue cheese-bacon burger was $12, but it was pretty small--about 3" across and 3/4" thick. With small (but tasty) fries and a drink, lunch came to just under $20. Still, I absolutely recommend it and will be back--it's just more of an occasional treat than an everyday stop. read more

There are fancier or more hip burger places in OKC but Patty Wagon so far is my favorite. Great selection of basic and gourmet burgers, hand cut fries and plenty of extras, even a rack of Arbuckle fried pies. The buns are a standout made in house and unlike any I've ever had. Lots of Carhart and work boots and every other type of folks . And the employees have always been great and friendly. AAA+++ read more

It's worth a go. The buns were great- it's like a dinner roll, dense and not dry at all. Burger was a little too crispy- the seasoning was good though. I had the Swiss mushroom and the mushrooms did not have much flavor. The horseradish mayo was good. Fry oil needs to be changed-- Onion rings were dark and tasted overcooked due to dirty oil. Also they were ridiculously greasy with a pool of dark grease in the bottom of the serving basket. Our other burger was the red dirt- it was good- good bbq sauce- and the burger, again, was a little too crispy and over cooked. They were more char than meat. It was worth checking out but it was more of a check off the list and not a place we want to return to spend $40 at for two single patty burgers, a shared order of onion rings, and tip. Service was ok- dude at the register was high AF but smiled a lot and was polite. They closed half of the tiny lobby/sitting area to "clean" in the middle of the dinner rush. It caused it to be overcrowded, loud, and overstimulating in the open area. The overall vibe was interesting- a woman walking around through the restaurant the whole time we were there- not seemingly an employee- but smelled like a combo of BO and diesel grease. We didn't see her eating anything or sitting- just walking around making it hard to breathe or want to eat. Can't forget to mention the illustrated white Jesus children's Bible up front. Because every burger joint needs an illustrated white Jesus children's Bible. read more

I ordered the Red Dirt burger with tots & a peanut butter shake. The buns are amazing!!! Staff was super nice and the service was good. Building was a little rough around the edges but clean. read more

Stopped by for lunch and it was amazing. I had the double burger with bacon and fried egg. I asked for a runny egg and that's just what I got. So good!!! I also had the onion rings which were obviously made there and not some frozen ones out of a bag. Additionally I stole a few fries from one of my friends and they were cooked to perfection. Finally, the workers were super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Try this place out the next time you want an old-school type burger experience and you will not leave hungry or disappointed! read more

The burgers are delicious and you can't go wrong with a side of cheesy tater tots. I like the small cafe feeling you get as well as all of their staff's quality service. read more

Patty Wagon - First time visiting the Grand Canyon on a chilly October day. - Burgers Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I am a huge Patty Wagon fan. I have tried pretty much all of the top burgers around the OKC metro and their burger is in the top 3 for me... it's seriously delicious! The restaurant is a small place that gets packed out quick during the lunch rush, but somehow service is still very quick. Their fries are cut fresh in-house, so if that's your thing, then come and get 'em! read more

Service was great. Staff is super friendly. It is hard to impress me on burgers in Oklahoma because there are so many great places here, but I was quite impressed with the burgers here. They don't do Oklahoma onion burgers which I love. They are more a classic burger joint. Has the feel of those drive up burger joints from a long time ago. I have the Swiss N' Shroom burger. By far the best mushroom Swiss I've had in OKC, and possibly the best I've had. The toasted buttery buns were really good. They don't skimp on the meat either. I ordered a double patty, and honestly would have been stuffed with the single patty alone. The burger meat was cooked perfectly. It had just the right amount of crispiness at the edges while still being super juicy in the center. The fries are well seasoned and freshly cut. Like I said l, it is hard to impress me on burgers in Oklahoma because the burgers here are almost always good or the places won't survive due to the stiff competition, but this place impressed me. I am coming back and bringing my family. read more

Got the big John, fries & onion rings, everything was So good! The burger was outstanding, will definitely be back!

Love the Patty Wagon. We went before a show at the Civic Center and it did not disappoint. There was a sign that noted the wait time would be a little longer because everything is made fresh and everything that came out was piping hot and great. Only thing I would note is that when we left there was a huge line, so get there a little earlier to get a seat. Can't wait to return! read more

I got the red dirt burger with fries, two big john burger one with fries and one with tots, and officer pat's combo. The burgers were good. I was surprised that the bun was not a regular bun almost like a roll-like bun, but that did not hinder the quality of the burger. The tots were crispy and the fries were seasoned well. We went around 1pm and it was super busy the place was small but they have take out and a drive thru. I would recommend this place and I also see why it is on the top 10 burger places in Oklahoma. read more

Went through drive through with a toddler, and it we waited an HOUR. BUT their burgers were the BEST dang burgers in town. Man if it wasn't for that wait it would be 5 stars. Burgers are 100 of 10. Sides need some work lol read more

Burgers are great. Had the mushroom and Swiss. The mushrooms were just the right amount in proportion to the cheese And the burger ... wait for it... you can't get a better one anywhere else. I improved my order with a side of onion rings. But I did mess up and NOT getting the handmade shake. Doh! read more

This place is hoppin !! I'm here at lunch and realize I've been missing a local phenom. Got the big John burger w onion rings and unsweetened tea. Food came out fresh and fast. Tired of all the chain burgers joint come here. read more

After two and a half years of living in OKC, my quest for what I define as a pretty damn good burger ended after finally getting to experience Patty Wagon's culinary artistry. Perfectly grilled bun that was lighty toasted on the outside and still soft on the inside. Fresh lettuce that still had a slight crunch. Tomato slices that were the ideal thickness and ripeness. All of these contributed to savoring every bite of sinking into a hearty, perfectly seasoned and cooked patty enveloped in melted cheese (my choice being pepper jack but there are several options). I ordered take out through their website which was easy to do. My food was ready pretty quickly - only about 10 mins! I picked it up at the drive through and had the nicest interaction with the staff. I will definitely be getting my burger fix here from now on! read more

best burger in OK! service was amazing and quick! Very clean and very fast. gotta love it!
