Great burger. Sloppy as hell and I ordered the grilled onions. This place is nothing fancy and has that old school diner feel. Price is right and they have a few different options. People were friendly and I just liked the whole in the wall feel. read more

This is a small place with perhaps a dozen counter seats ran by the owner with a grill man and backroom helper. The owner was friendly and asked for my drink as I sat down. I ordered a cheeseburger with grilled onions and chili cheese fries. The fries came 1st and the chili was pretty good. They use slices of American cheese instead of shredded, which was surprisingly tasty in combination with chili and fries. Definitely need a fork. The burger came off the flat top grill a few minutes later as I was about half way through the fries. I finished the fries and then began to pick at the burger, a flattened beef with piles of grilled onions. It was still quite hot and continued to pick until just cool enough to eat. I slowly finished it off, while watching the game and drinking unsweet ice tea. Total cost $9.95. Easy to get to off I-40 Or Route 66. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Amazing service, delicious food. They servers are very sweet and funny. They are always asking if you are okay. It's AMAZING I wish I could give 100 stars. read more

Robert's is without doubt the best burger joint in El Reno. I would eat there every day if I could.

So, when you have an opportunity to try a place where onion burgers originated, how can there be anything to complain about? This is absolutely nothing fancy about Robert's. This is a you get what you get and you don't throw a fit type of place. The bar stools are probably 20 years old and the bathroom is cramped as all get out, but they grill up a damn good burger. I prefer onion burgers in general and it was great here! Very reasonable prices as well and I was happy to see they take credit cards! Sometimes I worry that small town places like this are cash only, but it is 2015 after all. I also shared an order of chili cheese tots with my boyfriend and it was plenty for the both of us. They don't skimp on the grease here though so just be warned. It was so neat to talk to the employees and hear how Robert's gets visitors from around the globe. It's not picture perfect, but I guarantee you'll be satisfied with these burgers. read more

Ventured out to El Reno with some friends to try this little hole-in-the-wall diner. Now the particulars... Yes, the place doesn't look like Mickey Mantle's, but honestly...what do you expect a diner to look like that is located in a small town in western Oklahoma? It's not in the best shape and really shows its years, but I wasn't really bothered by that. If I'm driving to El Reno for food, I care about the food, not how old the building is. I had bites of the chili cheese tater tots and french fries as well as a sampling of their slaw...which was freaking AMAZING. I ended up putting some on my onion burger. Yea...their slaw is next level. Their onion burger was fantastic. It had that signature greasiness that you expect a diner burger to have and it had the right amount of onions on it. Also, it wasn't too big. I was able to eat all of it and eat a good amount of the sides. The staff were very friendly and had our food cooked up pretty quick. All in all, I had an excellent time at Robert's. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again! read more

Words cannot express the deliciousness. But I'll give it a try anyway. It's right off historic Route 66, it has 14 bar seats wrapped around the single grille area. Cash only, locals only. The menu is sparse, but everything is perfect. The french fries are pulled right out of the fryer, drained, salted and handed to you. Piping hot! No heat lamps here. When you order your onion burger, Ed (not Robert) starts grilling the onions first and then starts smashing them right into the burger as it's cooking. We also had a chili dog with cole slaw on the side, not on top like it's usually served. Fresh bun, spicy chili, perfectly cooked hot dog with the right amount of crispness to the skin. The slaw was a little sweeter then it looked. There are 2 other onion burger places around the corner. I asked my dad why he didn't go to the others. ( he comes to Roberts 2 or 3 times a week) He took a bite of his burger and said "why bother, nothing else can be this good?" Enough said. I mentioned that it is locals only and they don't seem to happy when a group of 7 strangers walks in. Especially when they have a 3 year old. But my dad filled us in. Walk in, get a stool right away. If they are all full, stand behind and wait your turn. Don't speak until spoken to! I mentioned in the survery that it was children friendly. That's only if your child is perfect like mine :) Basically she said on my lap the whole time, colored and ate french fries and didn't talk. She was as happy as the rest of us. We also went for breakfast. Hot fresh eggs, bacon, sausage and hashbrowns cooked righ in front of you and handed right to you. Really good, really greasy. Ed actually pours something onto the hashbrowns as he's cooking and flipping them. Oil, Crisco, bacon grease? I don't know or care because they were delicious. We'll be back next summer! read more

Like traveling back in time on Historic Rt 66 in El Reno, which is home of the onion burger. Roberts, in same location since 1926, takes a backseat to nobody. Maybe not the fanciest, but definitely has charm and most importantly delicious onion burgers and fries at better than fast food prices. Friendly local staff. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Real Food by Real People. If you want authentic Onion Burgers and awesome fries, Stop in and Dine. If you are grossed out by nasty bathrooms, go wee wee before you go eat here. Bathroom is gnarly. We had Onion Burgers, the kid had a chili cheese dog. Affordable, fast, and fantastic. Fresh Burger not frozen. Fries remind me of Fries back before Mc Donald's ruined everything on their menu. read more

Absolutely amazing onion burger. I found the taste was incredible. A tad greasy but it's what I expected. The decor of the place was why I didn't rate it 5 star. Water on the floor of the place, toilet clogged and no light on the bathroom. Also probably 30 flies flying around. For a one time stop driving through it was so worth it. Overall A- read more

I usually eat at Sid's but they had a line out the door. Johnnies was about the same on this Saturday noon. I've never tried Robert's before so Mrs. Eva and I went to Roberts. The burger was good and the fries were excellent, but this place is pretty dumpy, stinky, and filthy dirty. The grille is bent in the middle and almost to fall off the wall. The prep area was loaded with junk and tidbits of food. Poor cleaning of the counter was the norm and I had to keep my balance on the loose and worn out seat. When the teenage cooks made hot dogs, they used their fingers to handle the dogs, then took money, cleaned the counter, then made more dogs - all without washing hands. We were grossed out and will not return. read more

Everyone has their favorite onion burger place in El Reno. I personally like all three. They each have their pros and cons. I like Roberts as the owner remembered me after only two visits. He even remembered my order and asked me if I would have the usual. This makes me feel like a valued customer. The food is always good and the atmosphere is always "cozy." There are only about a dozen seats so you are forced to get to know your fellow diners. It makes for a great time as everyone is so friendly. Almost like eating with family. Ed, you are the best!!! read more

I have been coming to roberts grill for at least 45 years, can remember my first visit with my grandfather and grandmother. i usually eat there once a week, gotta have my weekly fix, i am now taking my two grandchildren there for our special place, they have and always will be a part of my life. great food, read more

Burgers are fresh and amazing! The price is incredibly low! Well worth the drive to El Reno

This is a great lunch spot for burgers and Robert's onion burger is top notch. Robert knows the town of El Reno and can tell you all about it. Don't forget to try his original recipe of slaw on your burger or hot dog or by its led out of the bowl! read more

Ok, the grill has 14 seats at the counter and serves super onion burgers. The only reason to go here is to eat. In fact the best in El Reno on Sunday afternoon! Very friendly people serving and eating, and with good prices. It is a dive not a fast food chain. read more

I spent every lunch in junior high running to Roberts to get a stool before they were all taken up. I still have a scar on my chin from slipping on the ice in ninth grade as I grabbed the doorknob to be the first in and landed on my chin. It required three stitches, but I got my burger to go before I called my mom to take me to the doctor. And that was back in the day when Robert was still in charge. My first boyfriend with a car was a cook at Robert's. Oh, and the food was good, too, but that was many, many years ago. read more

Best onion burger I have had in Oklahoma. Fiancee told me El Reno was the birthplace of the onion burger. Didnt believe her at first, but after doing some research its true. The other "diner" place down the street gets all the hype, but Robert's Grill is a true diner. You walk in and its an L-shaped bar around the entire kitchen. Its grimey, flys everywhere and has the true dirty diner feel. You have to step in to an added part of the building just to go to a bathroom. This place truly has been here since 1926, i can only imagine what it used to look like. Service was prompt and very friendly. They started us with a sample of sauerkraut and chili, chili was dead on and perfect for Fries or tater tots. I tried the deluxe onion burger, because what is a burger without lettuce, tomato and pickle. If i ever find myself close to El Reno again, I will be stopping here. Robert's Grill definitely deserves more pub than their competition down the street!!! read more

The fries were swimming in grease in the bottom of the basket so much that I couldn't eat them. Then the owner was fixing another burger for a customer grabbed the meat out of a part open cooler threw it on the grill and wiped his hands on his pants and continued ringing up customers and serving people. Also the amount of flies in there were more than on a compost heap. Very unkept, dirty, unsavory food read more

the burger was more like four stars. and the environment was 1 star. i was nowhere near being in the mood for a burger, and i only went by because of jane and michael stern and their roadfood website. so i generously give it 3 stars, because once i got over how run down the place was, and how desperately it needed a power wash, i was instantly soothed by the cute zen-like young burger flipper, who asked me if i wanted onions in an obi wan kenobi way. and then i realized that why, yes, i did want onions. and, sure--i'll have cheese, too. and the burger was exactly what i wanted and super delicious. mmmmm......may have to stop by again on my road trip back. read more

The atmosphere was very rude! As soon as we walked in the young guy was really rude. They made our burgers with anger and not love. One restroom and not well maintained, no soap to wash hands. Also, they should invest in a notepad because they messed up our order. Then they told my partner "now I know what school you came from". We sat outside to eat because we did not want to be in that type of atmosphere. In the next few hours my stomach started rumbling and I got a stomach ache. I don't know if they didn't wash their hands. They didn't wear gloves when they made my food. VERY RUDE! read more

First Onion Burger for us and it was pretty good. We also had the hot dog with chili and their special slaw. Needless to say our plates were clean. Not the greatest atmosphere but full of old school roadside hole-n-the-wall charm. read more

Good burgers! I've ate here off and on for almost 40 years. A hole in the wall but with great food. Love it fresh off the grill. It's the only place I will eat coneys with slaw. read more

I went here today and I thought the burger I had was really good. It was bigger than the burgers in the other places in town and cheaper, but they all taste about the same to me. This place is tiny, but is just fine for a small family. I would go somewhere else if you want to eat with a lot of people. read more

Best burgers and fries in town, it beats the best i think in my opinion it has the best cheese fries also and cant forget the coneys!
