Ron's Hamburger & Chili, Midwest City

Ron Baber has expanded his eponymous franchise from a single 10-seat stand to a 20-strong chain of burger joints by tapping into his greasy-spoon ethic and passion for delicious hamburgers. Thanks to his keen attention to detail, which includes topping the still-grilling patties with buns to soak up beefy juices, Ron has earned a recurring spot on Urban Tulsa Weekly's The Absolute Best of Tulsa list and a loyal following. His burgers come in 1/5-pound, 1/3-pound, and 2/3-pound sizes, and showcase such savory toppings as Owens hot sausage, jalapeño peppers, and the eatery’s signature chili.
