just noticed they are opening a store in norman. I thought their onion burgers were pretty average. There was a place across from Putnam City HS to the east on Meridian that used to have the best onion burger. It was a small place with just a counter I think. It's been a while and I'm sure it's gone. Was it Joes Onion Burgers? I think it's called Bunnys Onions burgers now. Anyway, tuckers is nothing special...a chain onion burger.
Tuckers Onion Burgers
- Thread starter purkey
- Start date
We went to the one on 23rd when it opened, and were very underwhelmed. I was eating at republic one day and one of the 'good egg' people was there handing out $20 "try me" cards for Tucker's. I gave him feedback on bun to meat ratio, as well as bun texture and told him I thought they were off. They guy actually listened, said others have said the same, and they have since made changes. I think they are now vastly improved, from where they started, but I agree they aren't best in class, but still good in a pinch (love their fries).
To me, the best representation of what I like is Sid's in El Reno. I really loved bricktown burgers, but they closed. Nic's is awesome, but different than a traditional onion burger. There's a guy from El Reno, who posts here, that has cooked them at events and tailgates before, his are seriously awesome. It's all about really getting the onions fried and caramelized, with that soft white bun and thin juicy patty.
I think I just made myself hungry.

There's 2 in el Reno , both I would recommend. Like a block from each other, Johnnys and Sids. Roberts will fry the pickles with the onions if u ask too. Much good.

Grew up eating at Johnny's in El Reno when I was just barely big enough to pull myself up on a bar stool. Back then there were three booths and about twelve bar stools. I've eaten there my whole life. I've had Sid's a few times. Nothing compares to either of them, IMO.
Personally like Tuckers. Tried the mother tucker, ate the whole thing. Pretty good if you ask me.
