In the bustling heart of the city, where retro vibes collided with modern flavors, stood Hamburger Inn, an old-school burger joint that had been serving up mouthwatering creations for generations. Est. 1938 The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with vintage posters adorning the walls all we needed was a jukebox playing nostalgic tunes in the background. The staff exuded genuine hospitality, ensuring that every customer felt like they were stepping back in time to a simpler era.
The menu boasted an array of classic burger options, each one carefully crafted with the finest ingredients. Their signature deluxe double with jalapenos was a true masterpiece, featuring two juicy patties topped with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a generous helping of spicy jalapenos. The vegetables were always fresh and crisp, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
One of the best things about Hamburger Inn was its versatility. Whether you were looking for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, they had something for everyone. The stools at the counter were perfect for solo diners who wanted to witness the culinary magic up close, while the cozy booths offered a more intimate setting for families and friends.
The presence of law enforcement and regulars from out of state spoke volumes about the restaurant's reputation. It was a place where people from all walks of life could come together and enjoy a delicious meal in a welcoming environment.
But what truly set Hamburger Inn apart was the ice tea. Freshly brewed, it was the perfect accompaniment to any burger. The perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, and left a refreshing aftertaste.
As I savored the last sip of my ice tea and reluctantly finished my burger, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. Hamburger Inn had not only satisfied my hunger but had also given me a glimpse into a bygone era. It was a place where time seemed to slow down, and where the simple pleasure of a well-made burger and a cold drink could make all...

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 immediately 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 â 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...
   Read moreMy kind of place. While in Ardmore on biz, I was downtown looking for the Post Office and happened on the H.I. and popped in for lunch. I was too late for the breakfast menu and instead opted for a grilled chicken salad and a cup of coffee. Cities across the nation all used to have places like the H.I. - small places, with counter service and a limited menu but what they did, they did well.
