Tulsa's classic drive-in burger
Brownie's Hamburgers has flipped burgers on South Harvard Avenue since the 1940s, a tiny, family-run Tulsa stand beloved for its griddled patties and house-made root beer. Regulars line up at the counter for the same simple, greasy-in-the-best-way burgers the place has always made.
Little more than a lunch counter and a handful of stools, Brownie's is the kind of unpretentious hometown burger joint that Tulsa has quietly kept in business for generations.
