Braum's: The Best Burger Californians Never Heard Of

[@Lonewolf-uq2qj]

As a 27 year California native who moved to Oklahoma, I mean it when I say that Braum’s is amazing. It’s that type of cheeseburger and crinkle cut fries that brings on full nostalgia, like one you might get at a fair or something, but with high quality ingredients. Burger versus burger... in n out is better in my opinion. More flavor. But there are plenty of times I would choose Braum’s over in n out. It hits different parts of the brain.

[@urusledge]

I weirdly almost like the fact that Braum’s burgers aren’t too packed with flavor yet are somehow still good. Makes me trust that it’s just good product being used to make it so they don’t have to go too over-the top with added seasonings and ingredients to make it taste good. That being said, more flavor wouldn’t hurt either. The four cheese burger is pretty solid tho.

[@perryramon7403]

I'm a long time Northern Californian who grew up in Lawton, OK decades ago. Whenever I vacation (in the Fall) in Oklahoma - BRAUM'S is always a destination. We love the cheeseburgers, crinkle cut french fries and ice cream sundaes! It makes us feel like teenagers again with the fantastic food. I really wish we had a Braum's in Northern California - but I understand the logistics. Keep up the great work, Braum's!!! You are awesome!

I grew up in SE Kansas and SW Missouri, was actually suprised to find out Braum's was not a national chain, when I talked to fellow Americans I knew when living overseas they had never heard of it. Here in Thailand we have McDs, Hardees/Carl's Jr. , Burger King, and even A&W. Took my wife to Braum's when we were visiting my family and she loved it.

You save on transport costs when 90% of locations are half a day away from the distribution center. And since they are their own supplier, they cut out the cost of the middle man.

I just tried Braum's for the first time today in Tulsa. Being from Missouri, there only two locations I believe- Springfield and Joplin (both in southwest Missouri). I must say, I was impressed as was my wife. We both lived in California (The Bay Area) for many years, so we are well aware of In n' Out. I have to say, I agree with the reporter- "In n' Out is way overrated". Braum's, two thumbs up for sure.

Just got Braums yesterday because it's a block away. It is also inexpensive and you don't wait long for your food. No matter how busy they get

[@travischurch]

Braum’s does have the best hamburger of any fast food chain. They switched to 1/4 lb patties from 1/3 lb patties a few years ago, which was extremely unfortunate. I am coping within the best of my abilities (but still a little mad about it, tbh). I love the double 1/3 lb (now the inferior double 1/4 lb). My grandpa introduced me to Braum’s hamburgers in the 70s. In the 80’s I worked across the street from Braum’s headquarters in OKC. I now live in a small town in North Texas that has a Braum’s and I try to eat there at least once a month. The grocery is very convenient. I have spent a lot of time driving up I-35 from Dallas to OKC, so I immediately recognized the aerial of the Braum’s in the last scene of this video as Pauls Valley, Oklahoma.

[@kingjaekob]

I too, am mad that it changed from 1/3 to 1/4 patties, the meat to bun ratio, is so important, and funny, but they dont taste the same~

We have Braum's in North Texas on the east side of I-35 in Lewisville at the Fox exit. The next chance takes you off the highway into Carrollton a few miles exit Sandy Lake/Whitlock, go east on Whitlock to Josey Lane, turn right and Braum's is just past CVS and a little strip mall on the left next to a Sonic. It stays busy most evenings. Sunday evenings forget about that location because it looks like a Walmart on Black Friday.

[@oldtimey7599]

If you're from Oklahoma, you share a lot of characteristics with certain adjoining states. Historically, we a special bond with California, which is not an adjoining state. We shipped all of our migrant workers there in the 1930's and then they were called "Okies" when they got there... It was unfortunate for us, as the heirs of the landowners of Oklahoma. We had a drought for a while in the 1930's and didn't need migrant workers... I've lived in Oklahoma all my life, I've never been to California, I wear that as a badge of honor. I've never had an In-N-Out burger. I can get one in Dallas, but I'd rather fly to Houston at one of Pappa's restaurants. If I ever go to Vegas, I'll get an In-N-Out burger. Braum's, What-A-Burger and Sonic are good enough around here... Local in Tulsa, the best burger is a Lot-a-burger.

I've had In and Out and my opinion was it was very salty and somewhat dry. That sounds like a negative, but it's tasty! That said, Braum's burgers are juicy and have just the right amount of salt. Put it another way. I eat burgers. I like burgers. I've eaten almost every "Famous" burger there is. I usually go to other places and order the special menu options because the plain burgers they offer are kind of basic. Braum's? I just order the regular burger. It doesn't need any dressing up. It's perfection.

Well, a Braum's burger and fries meal is OK for what it is, an inexpensive meal. But, Whataburger is much better (more pricey, but better), at the right location. Texas also has In N Out (since 2011), and In N Out beats Braum's burgers. Now, where Braum's does shine, is its ice cream and milk!
