Surrounded by an all-consuming darkness that swallows the Oklahoma landscape come nightfall, a lone outpost in the Wichita Mountains somewhere near the aptly named Holy City is the Meers Store and Restaurant, 26005 State Highway 115, an Oklahoma novelty best known for their massive Meersburgers as well as, according to the menu, an absolute dislike of “sissies, Yankees and confused souls.”
Two out of three ain’t bad, right?
The historical home to the Meers Mining Camp, this restaurant is the last remaining vestige of the once booming town, one that had prospectors from all over coming to make it rich during the gold rush. As the long dead shouts of “Consarnit!” and “Dagnabbit!” echoed outside the building, with its rickety piecemeal construction, Meers is now a busy burger-joint for mountain climbers, weekend bikers and conspiracy theorists from all over Oklahoma.
