Harden’s Hamburgers & More — Restaurant in Tulsa

Now who would have thought, that you could get a good hamburger and fries inside of the Mattress Brothers furniture store. My wife summed up the meal and wrote the review with one short sentence. As she wadded up her napkin and threw it in the empty burger basket she said, “That was a damn good burger!” My opinion, the burgers and fries at Harden’s are as good or better than most offered in Tulsa. Better than many I have had, that were rated as the best in Tulsa. (Excluding charburgers, charburgers are a different animal) We had cheeseburgers and the homemade fries. Big juicy patties flawlessly cooked on the flat top. The fries were perfect. Most restaurants don’t prep their potatoes properly for homemade fries. The result, within minutes after serving you end up with a soggy, limp greasy fry. Harden’s does it right. The large thick lightly coated fries stay crisp. The crunchy patches of potato skin add flavor to the already excellent potato sticks. The furnishings of the restaurant are immaculate and expansive. The styling is extensive and varied, ranging from contemporary to relaxed modern. Decorative art, colorful floor coverings, attractive lamps and vases complement the furniture. Grab your burger basket and drink, wander around until you find a comfortable couch or recliner. If you like to eat in bed, they are available. Whatever you like, put your feet up kick back and enjoy the meal!!

I give two stars only out of respect for Johnny Harden who started the biz. I have been a customer since 1978 at the 15th Street location. The last few times the help was rude and the food was so so but not the same. However today, the front counter girl was not a good representative of the biz in any way. Why would anyone not train front counter help to be energetic, polite and friendly? Why would you put all that time and money into a biz and then place it in the hands of a rude little twerp who can ruin you? The burger this time was tasteless. The slaw like a runny soup, the fries cold. How the mighty have fallen. My last visit.

Update 4/16/19 Thought maybe one more time. Nope. The food was even worse. The cutie behind the counter could not make up for the food!!! Last time for sure. Sorry Johnny.

New location inside Mathis. I came by a week ago and the burger was reminiscent of the old Hardens. Then I came by today. Unfortunately the cook/cashier smashed the burger dry. And the griddle needs to be cleaned. I’m tasting burnt oil on the burger. Hardens used to be juicy, hot, and tasty. This one was hot, dry, and tasted like burned griddle grease. I really want this place to...

I have this deal with Mathis brothers where you get a credit every month to eat there. The first day we ate the the owner was there and in a great mood and very helpful . Got our meal credit and food was great. The next month he wasn't there . There was a qr code set up where I followed the instructions and they said I redeemed already which I didn't. To be clear , I was polite but the people there were inattentive. I came in today and it took awhile for someone to come to the counter at 10:30 when I started to order , I followed the prompts from the qr code then as I was told to hit redeem . The manager I guess who was mopping at the time said I already redeemed my credit and I said I just did it. . They usually right down the customer number for there records and I told them I haven't been in in over a month. There was a little language barrier. When I talked to the owner he originally said he was happy that mathis brothers does that because it's guaranteed money when someone comes in. The employees apparently don't...
