Ranch Burger — Restaurant in Pawnee

A cheese burger done right is a wonderful thing! Sometimes they can be found where you least expect them. Serendipity!

We arrived in Pawnee at 1:20 PM. The parking lot at the Circle In, Ranch Burger was still packed with ranchers, farmers and oil field worker’s 4X4 pickups. Absolutely no place to park, so we took care of the business that brought us to Pawnee, and then returned about 45 minutes later.

They had a good special “All you could eat Catfish” but today felt like a cheese burger day. My wife and I ordered two with everything, hold the mayo, add mustard and we split an order of fries. [I grew up in Oklahoma and I still don’t understand why Okies eat mayo on a hamburger??] Anyway, the cheese burger was perfect. A big fresh juicy beef patty, with fresh crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and fresh fries on the side. I ate everything, but the paper lining the basket.

They have a small salad and soup bar. All of the vegetables on the salad bar looked pristine. And one of the cooks brought out fresh soup while we were there.

It is a pleasant little small town diner with very good food and good friendly service. It appears to be where the locals eat. If their breakfast is half as good as their hamburger, it has to be fantastic.

I read all the reviews : They were all excellent so I decided to give it a try as we were traveling home from a short vacation. I ordered the 2 egg, bacon and hash brown, wheat toast option . Well I hate to say how can you mess up a breakfast ? Well I was very disappointed. I ask for crispy bacon it was not done at all, I don’t like undercooked bacon, I ordered over easy eggs these were clearly sunny side up and not done, ugh , also had browns were served very white looking not golden brown as you would expect, they we’re definitely undercooked was like eating a raw potato , the toast was like a piece of break with melted butter on it it wasn’t toast ? This whole meal had something wrong with it not just one item - needless to say I told the waitress about it , only took a few bites paid and left very...

While traveling through Pawnee, we stumbled on the Ranch Burger.

Upon entering this place, we were immediately greeted and then seated in the small but very clean establishment.

After taking our drink orders, we were given menus and told about the daily special.

This is definitely a place for the locals, and it proved, as everyone in the place was extremely friendly,

We started with the small but great salad bar. Again, it was small, but everything was fresh and tasty.

As we provided our waitress with the rest of our order, we started to understand why this place was a favorite amongst the locals.

Our waitress Terrie was incredible!

So much so that we traveled 65 miles back the next day for breakfast.
