While I am not a smoker, joker, or midnight toker, I still tend to develop a serious case of the munchies right around lunchtime.
That’s why I was intrigued by the contact high of meaty hamburgers wafting from Midwest City’s Danky Burgers—located at 618 S. Air Depot Blvd.—a dispensary-anchored burger joint that promises to keep the munchies at bay, whether it’s lunchtime, dinnertime, or fourth meal.
Well, at least for a few minutes.
All the sticky without the icky, Danky Burgers is located in the Flower Rangers dispensary, but that’s where the businesses differ. Though it’s located in the head shop, their all-beef cheeseburgers are their own thing, and the only expected high is from their cheba-free churro dust!
Inside the lo-fi hip-hop eatery, the menu is quite compact because all they really have are the burgers, fries, and the aforementioned churros, as well as blood-red sugary sodas like Mountain Dew Code Red, which my betrothed and I took nostalgic sips of while ordering our happy meals.
While we were waiting, a small tabletop version of Pong kept us enthralled, as Nike swag and other schwag adorned the walls and tables. Over my shoulder, I noticed that a few people were steadfastly ordering burgers…but no one bought any weed!
Chronically, I guess the Danky Burgers are that good!
When our food arrived, I puff-puff passed to my fiancée the Single Cheeseburger ($6.99). It was a true fatty—a Smash Patty with all the goodies, including pepper jack cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, and the Danky Sauce, a Big Mac-like condiment that was the true highlight of the meal.
Although it was a small variation, the Single Cheeseburger packed a lung-clearing punch. As the well-grilled meat melded with the tangy caramelized onions, it reacted with the Danky Sauce to create a tasty chain reaction that was even better for the price!
Together, we shared the Danky Fries ($6.99), and let me tell you, they were the dankest.
It was a bed of crispy French fries smothered in the holiest of trinities: nacho cheese, bacon, and jalapeños. Without a doubt, if you’ve ever needed a reason to start getting high on the regular, here’s your spiffy snack!
For my order, I went with the ganja-licious Cali Burger ($9.99). Doubled up with two Smash Patties, it came with double cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and that Danky Sauce, as well as another Mountain Dew Code Red—because why not?
Maybe it’s the fumes talking, but I can’t believe it’s 2025, and after just one week, I’ve already found my favorite burger of the year! Taking the Single and doubling just about everything, with a pleasurable squirt of that Danky Sauce, it’s a grilled wonder that I wolfed down.
Munchies or not, this is the doobiest burger around!
Feeling full—but not too full—I ended my meal with one of the most cherished desserts around: the Churro ($2.50). With its custard filling and a raucous pour of sugar and cinnamon, this sweet treat was all I needed to digest the burger, fries, and the Code Red.
So, yeah, even though I’m not in love with Mary Jane, I am truly in love with Danky Burgers and their extra-value meals—no seeds or stems here!
Cómpralo ya!
