Weber's is a Tulsa icon. You can't miss this old-fashioned burger stand when passing by Peoria in Brookside. It's said to be the birthplace of the original hamburger. As the story goes, the family of Oscar Weber Bilby claims the first-known hamburger on a bun was served in 1891 and later Governor Frank Keating proclaimed the first true hamburger on a bun was created and consumed in Tulsa, calling it "The Real Birthplace of the Hamburger".
Their burgers, while simple, are fresh and tasty. They are a bit on the smaller side, about what you'd expect from similar establishments. The options of sides are nice. They have french fries, tater tots, and onion rings. Personally, I'm partial to the homemade onion rings. These are breaded, and while I usually prefer beer battered, they still hit the spot whenever I'm craving onion rings. The burgers come with a choice of mayo, mustard, ketchup, onions and pickles. Lettuce and tomatoes can be added for an extra charge. I don't mind the upcharge but my one gripe is they didn't mention it upfront when I ordered a large amount of burgers and just charged extra without asking.
Of course, one thing you won't want to pass up on when visiting Weber's is the root beer. The root beer floats are a perfect cold and creamy treat on a warm day. It's what keeps me coming back again and again. The root beer is a homemade family recipe that is refreshing with a nice bite to it. They also sell root beer bottled individually or in a six-pack, my go-to whenever I'm in need of gifts for out of town guests. It's a wonderful way to share a taste of Tulsa with friends and family from outside of the area.
True to its roots as a no-frills burger joint, Weber's is worth visiting regularly for its nostalgic atmosphere, comfort food, and irresistible root beer floats.
