What an intriguing place! Rustic, nostalgic! Seating was fast on a Saturday despite being busy. Staff were all very friendly. Service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the 8oz Meer's cheeseburgers, onion rings, and sweet teas. Everything was cooked and very flavorful. I recommend tasing the burger before adding any condiments. Onion rings were some of the best I've had.. crispy!! Sweet Tea (I live in Virginia) was on point! For dessert we had the raspberry and peach cobblers (to go as we were stuffed!). They were delicious!! Homemade for sure! They offer with ala mode which would be even better but alas that doesn't travel well. All around a great experience. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is it's cash only and you get one receipt and they don't divide it up so you'll need to pay as one group but the modern calculator can help with that. It's definitely worth the visit !! read more

Party of 5. We waited 20 minutes and the hostess and staff were incredibly rude! One of our party has MS and had a walker. It was not wheel chair accessible. The staff kept telling us where to stand while waiting and were absolutely rude with their discussions of where to stand while waiting. In fact they were so unaccommodating, and noticing that nobody was getting their food that we finally just left. It's not the wait, it's the attitude they portrayed and how they talked with us. Too bad we didn't get to try the food. read more

This isn't really a Yelp kind of restaurant in the traditional sense. A little shocked the reviews are so low. This place is a landmark and interesting to see. Food was fine, staff was friendly. The massive burger wasn't the best thing I've ever had but like I said, it's such an interesting stop it's not even really about the food. Glad to have taken my wife there, would go back just to try the cobbler. People in town were raving about it but just didn't have room left to order it. read more

This was a Birthday request visit today. Long line but went fast. We had several so sat in very back room. Seismic hamburger good, its sharable. We love all the extras on it, sweet relish, bacon, Jalapeños, pickles. Fries are not so good, onion rings ok. Menu keeps getting smaller and out of some items. Sweet tea is really good. Cobbler! Still super good! PEACH. CHERRY, APPLE. WE NO LONGER ORDER ICE CREAM. Now get only small dips of store bought. We miss the home made ice cream heaped high in a bowl. They still say not working, missing part or something. Definitely disappointing! Service was good today but maybe because they automatically added a good tip to our bill. read more

For years I've been told you have to go to Meers for a burger. We gave it a try and while everyone was friendly and the service was prompt. The burger was just ok. Can't say I'll ever go back for another one. read more

Meersburger was pretty good. The parking was very hard to find. They are located at an intersection and they didn't have a designated parking lot. I really enjoy their peach cobbler and their Seismic Meersburger was very large and lean. They also only accept cash so be prepared. read more

TLDR: Atmosphere is unique. Food portions are large. Food quality is average at best. Service was good. First. If you have never been. It's worth stopping by. The building is historic and is certainly unique. Try to take a marker. The walls are covered with customer signatures. You also want to see the old seismic machine. Sadly it's just a display now. I recall watching it working in my childhood. We always collects the souvenir pennys. They have a one of those old school penny smashers. So take two quarters and a penny for each of the kiddos. The food is fair at best on my repeated visits over the years. The portions are large and unique. But the quality is lacking. The onion rings were probably frozen out of a bag. The grease used for their rings needed changed. But eating out of metal pie plates and drinking out of mason jars. This trip was interesting because it was a cold night prior (25). But quickly warmed to 47 that morning. However they clearly chose to skip on the utilities. It was so cold in the restaurant. Everyone had their coats on. The waitress even had a stocking cap on. read more

The service was amazing. Our waitress was like the Energizer bunny with a smile! The ambiance was exactly as we remembered from our last visit which was great as well. The burger itself was good but my bun was dry and falling apart. The onion rings were extra crispy, just like we like the them. Finally, the cherry cobbler was also good, especially with the vanilla ice cream. Bring cash! No credit cards accepted. read more

Some 50 years after my first Meers burger, I returned after a morning of hiking in the nearby Wichita National Wildlife Refuge. My sisters and I waited in line for 20 minutes, using the time to scan the graffiti-rich walls. The wait was definitely worth it! My sisters split a plate-size, 16-ounce Seismic Meersburger; I opted for an 8-ounce Meers cheeseburger. The monster burgers--made from from Meers' own herd of pasture-raised longhorn cattle--were perfectly grilled with a fantastic crust. They were accompanied by onion rings, fried okra and french fries. No complaints with service--the servers were attentive and congenial. Our only regret--no room for dessert! While it's highly unlikely that we'll find ourselves anywhere near Meers in the foreseeable future, I'm grateful for this opportunity to share the Meers experience with family members! read more

The burgers are really good. Do let the building scare you off. It rustic but that's part of the experience. Reading all the stuff hanging on the walls. But the burgers are great and the beef is supposed to be really low in cholesterol. Making me hungry just thinking about it. read more

It's worth the drive and worth the wait in line for a table. I believe this is the best burger in Oklahoma. The peach cobbler with homemade ice cream is exceptional. It's great for sharing because it is large. The history in this place is so cool. It's a really old building and might feel like it will collapse soon but I trust that it is sturdy enough. They serve their coke in large mason jars. Just a unique experience and a great burger! read more

Food is still good but service has went to absolute horrible, turned people away on to go orders, we sat for a good 15 min before we got drinks, cheese curds were like chewing gum. Building is still the old rustic run down place it's always been. Cobbler was awesome though read more

We drove an hour to have the hamburgers. We waited a long time to get a table. I thought "wow!" This burger must be out of this world for people to wait in such a long line and even be repeat customers. It was a huge hamburger and uniquely served. But it was bland. Our service was very good, and I enjoyed the cobbler. I also loved the well-traveled, earthy feel of the restaurant, but their signature hamburger did not deliver. read more

We were on a road trip and made it to Meers to enjoy their famous cheeseburgers. We arrived on Saturday a little after 2pm and there was no wait. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and seated at a table in the back room. The waitress greeted us and offered to take our drink order. We had waters then each had their 8 oz. Cheeseburger. We shared an order of fries and an order of onion rings. The service was excellent!! Burgers were great, and onion rings were also great. Fries were good (just a little too pricey for what you got). The cobblers looked great, but we were too stuffed from the burgers. All in all a good stop! We recommend trying it at least once if you're from Oklahoma...but just be sure to have plenty of cash to pay as it's cash only. read more

A trip home to Southwest Oklahoma is not complete without a meal at Meers in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Our party of four arrived at 11 AM on a Friday to ensure getting a table and not having to wait outside in the scorching OK summer heat. We were seated right away and greeted promptly by Crystal who began our service with a history lesson about Meers. We told her we've been coming here since the 70s so we are all too familiar with Meers. It's usually dirty and hot in here, but this visit was surprisingly clean and climate controlled. Everyone was comfortable. Tribal items were on display for sale in an adjacent dining area and I found this very cool. Perfect place for this. I ordered the Meers Cheeseburger - no pink. I can always count on Meers for cooking my burger to order and they did so this visit. It was perfectly cooked through and delicious with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. One of us got the Seismic burger. Also cooked through even though they don't care. It was huge! I ate a quarter of it, plus my cheeseburger! Stop me! Very tasty rings and fries - enough to share between four people. The grand finale (and part I had been dreaming about until the day came) - PEACH COBBLER WITH HOMEMADE ICE CREAM. OMG. As always, it was peachy perfect, and the two mounds of ice cream were huge. I usually share this with another person, but not today. I was all in. Oh, Meers, please remain forever. You're a huge part of my childhood and still a reason I love to go "home." read more

First time in Lawton and I was surprisingly amazed by this "little" hole in the wall. Not quite little but you do have to wait beyond a chain to get seated. Took about 5 min for someone to recognize we were waiting to be seated. It's a pretty spacious spot with a lot of "watch your step" signs. Be careful. Look down while navigating through the spot. Alright, to the food, delicious! Buttery burgers! I am not sure that they advertise as smash burgers but they are. All good! You'll love them. The onion rings were light with regards to the batter. Cheese curds are best eaten fresh. The 8oz burger was so filling that I took the cheese curds leftover home. Not quite the same the next day! Definitely a hidden gem. My boyfriend used to dine there as a kid and recommended it. I don't blame him! Ps.. their sweet ice tea is amazing! read more

If you want high priced, just warm flavorless food this might be the place for you. Takes a bit to get in and then the wait for the food is long. Because of the wait you would think the food would be hot and fresh. It's not. read more

We made the 80 mile drive from Texas on Friday Aug 22-2025 and arrived at 1:30pm. We were pleasantly surprised to see there was no waiting line and we were promptly seated. It had been almost 3 years since we last visited. I had heard and read some of the previous menu items had been dropped from the menu but it was not difficult to live without the "Texas toothpicks" today. Our server greeted us and was very pleasant and personable. I wish I could remember her name but she was one of two servers we saw there. We ordered our burgers & onion rings and the food was served very quickly. It just as good as what we had in previous years. Of course we saved room for the cherry cobbler and ice cream. For the price (about $7.50) the portion is massive. It should be more than enough to serve a couple. I remarked the portion of cobbler and ice cream was more than fairly priced. Having been going to the Meers Store for several decades, it's easy to notice that things are not as busy as in the past, as evidenced by the limited days and hours they are now open. I suspect Saturdays still have the lines waiting to get in but it was noticeable they were not busy when we were there. All in all our experience today was as good as any other time we have made the trip and feel they deserve the 5 stars we are giving them. read more

It's been years since I've been here, but it did not disappoint!! We stuffed ourselves, but it was so worth it! The servers were super friendly and there's such a fun Oklahoma ambiance about the place. Cash only! You have to try the cobbler if you can make room at the end read more

If you're visiting the Wichita Mountains, then you HAVE to stop by and try a Meers burger! It gets pretty busy so be prepared for a bit of a wait but it's worth it. It's a cash only establishment so you'll need to bring cash or use the ATM on site. My husband ordered the seismic burger and I didn't go as hard and settled on a 1/2 pound Meers burger (added bacon). Burgers were juicy and veggies were fresh. The seismic burger had jalapeños and sweet relish, the hubs agreed on the rating. Finally, we finished strong with peach cobbler and homemade ice cream. De-lish! Just like grandma makes! read more

I mean, we were pretty disappointed actually as the food was not nearly as good as all those who recommended it said it was, and it probably was amazing years ago. However, this review is solely on their desert. We ate what seemed to be just ok burgers and sides at best but watched as the entire restaurant ordered and received ice cream. Upon further investigation, turns out it was homemade ice cream and homemade cobbler. I'm from the south and my granny used to make the most amazing blackberry cobbler that was to die for. This is the first time since she passes that I have had cobbler that even remotely came close to hers. It was AMAZING! read more

What a fall from a former glory. So sad to see such a cool place get ran into the ground by the people in charge these days. Ridiculous hours. Bitter staff members. So sad. I'm giving a one star just because of how it's ran, the nonsensical hours and their complete indifference and rudeness at times. Hopefully someone will buy it and save it. Been going there for 30 years and it's a shame the way it's ran now. read more

Their hamburgers are huge. The big one is enough for 4 people. We got their onion rings to go with it and they were very good.

I kind of surprised at the negative reviews because I've been stopping in at Meers for 19+ years now and it's still exactly what I expect. The burgers were huge in 2003 and they're still huge! Covid messed with a lot of places and even Meers was hurt. There are quite a few menu items that are no longer available and that's okay by me. I'm thankful they have been able to keep their doors open! Their food is just as good as ever. Meersburgers in pie tins and iced tea in mason jars...what's not to like here? The meat in their burgers are absolutely delicious! How good is it? It's so good that we intentionally planned a trip to Meers before hitting the road heading East to go back home to California! My only quibble is that they are cash only. That aggravates me for reasons and I still bristle at cash only businesses, but whatever. Also, watch your step while arriving and leaving. The steps are a little steep perhaps for some visitors. read more

If you are a meat lover-this place is for you! 16oz burgers with the works Cobbler's are delicious read more

You might have to stand in line for a while however once you taste the burgers you'll understand why. They are amazing!! The apple cobbler is also to die for!! read more

The server and ambiance were great. The burgers are good but I expected better due to the hype. Great place for the ambiance though!

Definitely a tradition for us when in the area. The burger was delicious as always. We arrived at opening with no line to wait in. It would be nice if the owners would keep the history but slightly update or clean up a bit more. It is cash only and they do have an atm on site read more

The first time I visited Meers, I was a high school student that came down to the wildlife refuge on a field trip. The restaurant looked old and rickety at the time but I was blown away at how delicious the food was, and how generous the portion sizes were. The food came in pie tins, and the drinks in mason jars. It was everything a high school kid could wish for. Fast forward 30 years, and the place looks the same and the food is still wonderful. It's truly a must stop location every time I'm in the area. It brings me back to those high school days for sure. read more

The burgers are pretty good, but I am not sure it is worthy such a long wait. We drove all the way here just to have the famous burger. It was raining so heavily. Still, I could not find a parking spot. Dropped my friends, parked far away, and ran back under the pouring rain. We waited for 45 minutes in the long line. The burgers are nothing special. You can pretty much get it anywhere else. read more

When I found out I was visiting Lawton, OK three months ago, I started looking up places to eat in the area and everything was Meers this and Meers that. So visiting was my #1 priority. When we arrived there was a line inside and a bit of a wait. One of the employees came and apologized for the wait and said that they were working with a skeleton crew. They were still short-staffed due to the pandemic. Because of that, the menu was limited to burgers, select sides, select dessert and no BBQ. Luckily I was there for the burgers anyways. For drinks we ordered water and lemonade which was not good at all. Had to add extra sugar and lemon because it didn't really have any taste. But I wasn't there for the lemonade. The burgers came out really fast. For a skeleton crew, they really got after it when it came to getting food out on time. The burger was excellent. It melted in my mouth and was really easy to eat being that it was cut in 4. I really didn't get a chance to taste many of the fries because my girlfriend ate most of them before I got a chance to really evaluate them. They looked like your standard French Fry, nothing special. However the cobbler was great! I'd highly recommend Meers to anyone looking for a nice burger. Well worth the trip. Definitely a bucket list item if you're in the area! read more

Ordered 2, 4 oz burgers, one with fries and one with onion rings and drinks. They were served on metal pie pans. The pie pans were frozen, therefore the meal was cold when we got it. Our order was taken by one person and our ticket was made out by another. We were charged for the Meers burgers and not the 4oz burgers. It came to $24.15 for one and $23.15 for the other. (Onion rings are $1 more). Service was slow. I am 79 years old and have been going here since I was in grade school. I am very disappointed. We were charged way too much for what we got. I feel bad about it but we will not be going back. read more

Just as I remembered it being a kid. Great little place with a ton of history. A definite place to experience. You won't be disappointed.

This place used to be the best but it has gone way downhill. The burger was much more dry bun than meat, which was also overcooked and dry. Greasy, greasy onion rings and potato wedges. We couldn't eat it. The only thing worth eating was the homemade ice cream. The waitress was sullen and unfriendly. We will NOT be back. read more

Meers Store And Restaurant - Shitty burger - American Near Me - Lawton, Oklahoma

This place first opened in 1901 and has a nostalgic feeling about it. Probably because has always been the go to after spending the day in the WMWR---you work up an appetite big Meers burger. Overpriced for what it is for sure. Nothing special about it other than being tied to the memories you created while spending time with friends and family and all the things explored around the area. Nothing has changed in the last 25 yrs.--probably longer. I can only speak for the years I have known this place. Same decor, same long lines to get seated (first come first serve), cash only (ATM located inside), and probably same staff. It also looks like it has never been dusted in the last 100 yrs. Pretty disgusting after standing in line for a half hour observing the stuff I have seen so many times before. Everything just got dustier. My allergies even started acting up while I standing there. I leave this review just to give new folks a heads up that it may not be what you are looking for in a place to dine and to be honest, I really want an owner of this company to really consider cleaning the place. Show your patrons some gratitude for their loyalty. It looks as though not a dime has been invested into the facility to give it a much needed face lift and it is not right to charge this much for a burger, fries, and cobbler ($27 w/ tip). You don't even accept credit cards and your menus are old with black marker going over half of the menu. Very tacky and nothing looked sanitary. One of two things need to happen #1, lower your prices to match the environment, #2 remodel and clean this place to match your prices. This establishment doesn't give the impression that they at all care what their customer's think so I doubt change will ever happen.

What can I say mmmm We ordered one meers burger And a cheese burger Fries and some onion rings The burgers were put together with fresh veggies and the patties were thick and good The Fries and onion were yummy. It's one of those old places you know it's been around awhile. So don't expect this place to be spick and spam, Long horn cow meets you in the waiting area. Yes you have to wait behind a chain. Lol lots of old signs on the wall and everyone who has been here has left there number or signatures over the walls. it was a one and done kind of place.

We had a great meal at Meers Restaurant. We ordered their iconic burger and cobbler with ice cream. My hubby and I shared it between the two of us and it was plenty of food, large portions. The burger and peach cobbler was delicious and hit the spot. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant accepts only cash. I believe the restaurant used to serve beer but when we were there a few months ago, the restaurant was no longer serving beer. We will definitely return in the future when we are in the area. read more
