I was out adventuring and decided to look for a place to get a GOOD hamburger. Google led me to Arnold's (a good 35 minutes from where I live out in Coweta). I wasn't aware the diner was in a different building from the drive-thru location, so I started out at the wrong building; if you want to dine IN, you need to go the the strip mall-type building, not the "stand alone" location to the back left side of the parking lot. Walking into the diner, I was impressed by how clean it was. The gal at the counter who took my order was super sweet and friendly! I ordered a double patty, single slice of cheese hamburger, regular-size french fries, and a medium cherry limeade. My total was just over $10 - SUPER reasonable price for this level of deliciousness!!! I waited near the counter for my order to be called - it wasn't more than 3-5 minutes, and my number was called! What a great burger! Super juicy, delicious flavor! The french fries were PERFECT! The fry oil was definitely fresh, and they were exactly the right amount of crispy! And the cherry limeade?! Oh man!! I don't drink soda, don't like sweet tea, but I could drink their cherry limeade EVERY DAY!! Honestly, I probably wouldn't order the DOUBLE patty again ONLY because it was SO much food (a single patty is PLENTY!), but I was "fueling up" for a hike at Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area at the time. 🤣 A funny coincidence, the family I tagged along with on my hike later mentioned Arnold's as having the best burger in Tulsa! I was so happy to say I'd actually JUST eaten there and agreed it was fantastic!! Absolutely worth the drive for me! Do yourselves a favor and give...
Read moreHistoric old "Happy Days" burger joint with signature flavored all beef patties.
If you can get passed the obvious greasiness of the food, it is worth the experience but in all honesty, I didn't enjoy the food very much, (save the special flavor of the meat).
We went to the drive thru since the place was packed to capacity because everyone wants to visit Arnold's before it is relocated from West Tulsa.
I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and an iced tea. They failed to offer or place any condiments, napkins or salt in the bag.
The burgers my wife and I had were dripping with grease and the onion rings, while perfectly cooked, were cold and left a heavy greasiness in my mouth.
The meat patty itself was delicious and had a unique, wood flame flavor to it but the overall greasiness and lack of salt/condiments left the bulk of the meal very bland and not worthy of the $20 price tag for two burgers.
Sorry Arnold's... I did give you a 5 star rating based on your historic representation of the Arnold's from Happy Days as well as your speedy drive thru service and the outstanding flavor of your perfectly cooked and uniquely flavorful meat patty so the experience was not a total loss, though very disappointing for my wife who spent much of her youth hanging out at your place.
Thank you for your years of service to West Tulsa at that location. They are all sorry...
Read moreOk, we went back again today...I thought I'd try a two patty two cheese hamburger...I said it was a two handed burger....omg...i couldn't even eat 1/4. Way huge. Posted y'all a pick of it 😂😋
If there was a 10 star rating, I would joyfully give it to Arnold's! From the moment you walk in to ordering to eating and heading back out the door...it is awesome 😎! They open at 10:45am, which told me it gets busy quick! Having the pleasure of meeting the owner to placing our order with the most delightful individual I have ever met....just a great time, we only waited a couple of minutes and our number was called. Everything just the way we ordered! One, two or three patties 😋. No matter it's a TWO hands on burger. All the ingredients was so fresh. French fries and onion rings are wonderful too! Everyone was very pleasant, customers talked with other customers and it felt like you were having a family reunion while you enjoyed your food. The atmosphere matches the food totally....I saw old time shakes coming out of the kitchen...big ones too!!!! Ya gotta try this place, it's...
