Come Hungry, Leave Happy!

I had no shortage of volunteer Dinner Belles when we decided to review Arnold’s Old-Fashioned Hamburgers this month. There were four of us in my party who went to enjoy the west Tulsa tradition in its new location. Another group went separately, so you’ll be reading the combined opinions of six of us in all!
As their website notes, Arnold’s isn’t the place to go when you’re craving a salad. Owners Frank and Vicki Arnold have found a recipe for success by specializing in what they do well. The menu is limited to hamburgers and chicken sandwiches (fried, grilled or club), accompanied by french fries or onion rings. You can wash it down with pop, root beer in a mug, cherry limeade, shakes or a malt.
Most of us opted for the single patty burger. Two other Dinner Belles chose the grilled chicken sandwich. Not to keep you in suspense – it was all very good. It’s no wonder the place was bustling with loyal customers who followed the restaurant to its new location in the Crystal City Shopping Center on Southwest Boulevard/Route 66. Being on the Mother Road is a natural fit for the all-American burger joint decorated with classic lunchboxes, vintage license plates, model cars, neon, music memorabilia and a jukebox. PRICE
