Bell Street Onion Burgers

Bell Street Onion Burgers is the latest addition to Shawnees ever-growing historic downtown district, capturing the small-town friendliness and flavor of a classic burger stand with an eye for big-city invention and flair. The local fave is the Juicy Lucy ($7.99), a double patty onion burger filled with American cheese and butter. Yes, butter. If youre the health-conscious sort, adding a side of fried green beans ($3.99) is probably the menus best bet.
HDs Onion Burger
12417 N. Rockwell Ave.
621-9522
A family-owned eatery, HDs has all the greasy-spoon edibles that one could want hot dogs, gyros, hamburger steak, chili and so on but what really draws the crowds are the fat and juicy onion burgers at great prices. A cheeseburger, for example, is only $3.35. You might as well throw down another buck and get that burger topped with tangy house slaw, providing an unexpected kick. And dont miss the (non-onion) selection of homemade cakes.

drawn across the top, this Choctaw joint is about as no-frills as it
comes, except for the menu, of course. Offering numerous specialties,
the onion-fried double cheeseburger ($6.38) featuring crispy,
caramelized onions is worth the drive out of OKC, as are the homemade,
hand-cut ultimate chips loaded with chili, cheese, guacamole and
jalapeño chiles ($4.99).

meat and slices of onions that literally spill out of the sandwich, the

fries and a drink for only $7.79. For the fat boy in each of us, add an
order of fried pickles ($3.49) to take home and munch on later.

Cows fried onion cheeseburger ($8.99) is Certified Angus Beef
smothered in onions as well as melted American cheese and your choice of
dressing. For an extra 79 cents, top it with a fried egg to add a
singularly unique flavor. Dont forget the criss-cut sweet potato fries
($4.99) either. For a real gut-buster, try the Six-Shooter Challenge; if
you eat a cheeseburger with six beef patties and all the fixings, as
well as a side order in 45 minutes, its free.
Barrys Grill
3124 N. May Ave.

Driving
down N. May Avenue, its impossible to miss the Barrys Grill sign from
the road. The large green sign is adorned with a photo of a large
hamburger and the words Old- Fashioned. The old-fashioned onion burger
($3.78) is your granddads burger, and thats a good thing. Pair it
with zesty, hand-cut onion rings ($2.29) to make it even more delicious.
Also try the hand-cut fries, another speciality of the house.
