If you live in Oklahoma, you've probably had a Meers burger once or twice in your life. If not, you've at least heard some annoying lady at work talk about it. The restaurant, which is located in the "town" of Meers in the Wichita Mountain Wildife Refugee, is known for legendary burgers served in rural west time capsule. It's one of those restaurants that's featured on Travel Channel shows, national magazines and anything with Ron Stahl.
The Meers website does a good job covering all that stuff. If you haven't had lunch yet, you may want to skip this part:
Welcome to Meers, home of the "Best Burger in Oklahoma". Once a bustling town of miners seeking gold in the Wichita Mountains, all that remains of the town of Meers now is our world renowned family restaurant of the same name. Meers population has dwindled from the gold rush peak of 500 down to the present residents: one family of six people, eight cats and a dog. The Meers Store and Restaurant has became famous for our Meersburger, a 7" diameter burger made exclusively from prize winning Texas Longhorn beef raised on the family's own ranch. Beef that is actually lower in cholesterol than chicken!
The Meers Store and Restaurant serves a delicious selection of steaks, barbecue, home-baked bread, and desserts including homemade ice cream. If you enjoy our food be sure and pick up some of our Longhorn beef steaks and hamburger meat for sale in our store along with barbecued brisket, spare ribs, polish sausage and chicken, as well as thick sliced bacon.
Our restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere, very considerate staff and service to make you feel "Right At Home". On all the walls are historic photos of people who have visited and eaten here as well as original decor dating all the way back to 1901. Our entry way walls are covered with business cards from all walks of life, so don't forget to bring one of yours along to add to the memories...
Sounds pretty good. That being said, before you hop in the car and head down the turnpike of sadness towards Lawton, there is one thing you should know. The owners of Meers are dealing with a hamburger bun crisis, and it's Obama's fault.
