Karl's Famous Burgers

The restaurant should be called Mo's Famous Burgers. The cheese burger combo meal is the favorite here. A quarter pound or better beef patty, cooked on the flat top long enough to get a little crispness going, covered with a slice of cheese, with fresh lettuce, chopped onion and pickle wrapped in a soft burger bun. Add a generous portion of crinkle cut fries, and a refillable serve yourself soft drink to make for a bargain priced at $11.90. The restaurant is a neighborhood favorite and the burgers are the main event. A perpetual daily special. Many other reviewers have a long relationship with the other special, the Country Fried Steak Sandwich. The little old guy that owns this restaurant is named Mohamad. He has a small efficient operation in the kitchen. You can watch him work behind the steamed-up plexiglass partition. Looks like a mad scientist with his face mask on, intensely focused on creating a new species He shows the beef patties no mercy. When they start to sizzle on the hot flat top grill, he pushes down on the burger press with all of his weight (which ain't much) driving the heat into the patty and ensuring that nice crisp finish. At the same time, he is watching the fryers closely as the raw potatoes evolve to a pleasant golden brown. Everything comes together as it has for thousands of times and a great meal is delivered to your table. Mohamad said the business was named Karl's when he bought it and it had changed owners a couple of times before that, but it has always been Karl's. He said it cost too much to get a new sign, so he just stuck with the name. Karl may have originally made the restaurant famous, but he is history. Mohamad has been keeping it famous. Let's call it "Mo's Famous Burgers" from now on.

I was looking for a new place for a burger in Jenks because Ron's hamburger has really gone down hill fast. I've always seen this place but never tried it until today. The dining area was really clean and the lady up front was very nice. They have Pepsi products. I got the old fashion cheese burger with fries and it was very good. The bun was soft and the burger meat was delicious. Fries were crispy a thick crinkle cut. Very good over all! A lot of people were coming in for lunch and ordering all different burgers so I'd like to think the whole menus is good. It's definitely my new burger place!

I worked near Karl's and ate lunch there at least once a week for 14 years. During that time I never ate one of their burgers but ate plenty of the Country Fried Steak Sandwich and the Philly sandwich. Both are very filling a great tasting. Be sure to ask Mohammed for some of his special hot sauce to perk things up. I am not a fan of French fries but their homemade onion rings are to die for. If they are out of onion rings then my go to order was tater tots which are always cooked to perfection. I retired and don't get to eat at Karl's as often but to get by occasionally to make sure things are still great tasting. I am never disappointed.

I went to Karl's the other day and I had the best mushroom and Swiss burger of my life. Everyone was friendly and it is such an amazing place to eat!

This place is a South Tulsa institution. My father took me here as a little boy in the 90's and now I take my young son. The menu hasn't changed much, and the customer service is as friendly as it was some 30 years ago with the same owner and staff. The hickory burger may be my favorite burger in town, rivaling burgers double the price. Highly recommend.

Perfect Burgers for a good price. I like the seasoned fries or tots for sides. My wife loves the onion rings. The family that runs it are super nice and have great customer service. Will stop by anytime I'm in the area wanting a burger, it's better than any fast food drive through burger for sure. 4.6/5 stars. Improvement suggestions would be better Mozzarella sticks, and just a light interior refresh.

Got a fish sandwich and fries. Fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil and had sat for too long in a freezer.The fish disintegrated, turned to mush when trying to eat it and the sandwich was soaking wet. Pretty rough experience. I don't think I'll go back.

Karl's has been our "go-to" spot for burgers and gyros for many years. The onion rings are perfect, and the fried okra is very good. The quality has been very consistent all these years. This is a small business that is a pleasure to support!

Had a great lunch here today! We both had the old fashioned burger with cheese and fries. It was all cooked to order. The burgers were delicious and juicy, and the crinkle fries were the perfect amount of crunchy! The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly!

Absolutely love Karl's!!! The best thing here is the chicken fried steak sandwich - it is soooo good. Been supporting this place for years. Check it out you won't be disappointed!!
