Went last night for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. I had gotten a hotdog, cheeseburger, and oreo burst which were all delicious! I was especially surprised by just how tasty the burger was. Only problems were the service was slow and I had no chili on my chili and cheese dog, small problems that mean nothing when it comes to the taste! I'll definitely be coming back. Everything, especially the physical menu, really captured that "classic 50" ambiance, the prices weren't half bad either, I would definitely recommend trying this place out!
A classic Norman establishment owned by the same family forever. Forget other drive ins. This one is the best. But get real for a bit, it's just a drive in. Too many reviews on here are expecting gourmet food. Weirdos! You go for the nostalgia, variety of drinks, good burgers, Cajun fries, and PICKLE-O's!!! It's the perfect place to go in the summer after hanging out at the pool and need a slushy cool down.
Title says it all. classic says it all. Incredible variety of burgers. All the accompaniments to go with them. Then, a vast array of drinks fountain and frozen. One of our families favorite stops when in Norman.
Burgers have been great every time I've been, service has always been acceptable, usually pretty quick with the order, lots of people hate on this place, but if you want a good old style burger it's the place to go, just taste like back in the day, I love this place and go often!
I got a bacon cheeseburger no tomato and added onions and pickles. It was so freaking delicious the meat was actually seasoned. The bun was a little soggy I'm assuming from the pickles but it was a small spot and I didn't mind it. The fries were hot and crispy. I've seen this place for years but we've never stopped. Apparently we have been missing out. Whenever I come to Norman I will definitely consider this place. Make sure you're not in a rush because they were packed and it took a little while to order and for the food to come.
This place is adorable! My daughters new sorority sisters recommended this place to her. This place is known for their sprittles which is delicious! However, once we where here I decided to try their coney dog, fried pickles, jalapeño bites, burger and fries, and hot fudge sundaes! All I can say is we plan to make this a must when we are in town visiting our daughter at OU!
