This is and always will be the best burger and traditional meals in Lawton. It's been around since 1962!! It has an old school feel and it's a wonderful place to enjoy some food. The burger and fries were delicious I didn't take a picture because I ate it so fast, I do have a picture of the menu though, the prices are very affordable and a place to definitely check out,they even have Frito pie on their menu!! Can't beat it, so I went back and finally got a picture of the food it was absolutely delicious and if you haven't tried it it's a must to check out!!

A sign in the restaurant says "Over 60 Years" and our waitress was pretty proud of the establishment. Standard diner food, reasonable prices. The fried pickles were great! Service was quick. Twins rule! :)

Have always enjoyed having lunch here! Today was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, pinto beans, a roll, salad, and I always save room for pie! The servers are always on point, attentive and friendly!

What an absolute time capsule of a spot. Mrs Burgess has kept a wonderful landmark.Cuban Burger was outstanding no grease. Curly fries crispy and correct portion size. Egg rolls crispy. Service was sweeter then southern tea and considerate. The place was like being in a movie and immaculately clean. What an experience. Don't forget a slice of pecan pie!
