Halal smash burgers — downtown location
The Burgernator
The Burgernator has fallen off. The downtown location means the prices have crept up and the value just isn't there anymore. The burgers aren't bad, but in a city with Oklahoma Burgers, Burgers Park, and Ozzy's, there's not much reason to choose this one.
What to Order
The smash burger if you're set on going — stick to the basics.
Must Try
I'd genuinely redirect you to better options in the downtown core.
The Verdict
Hard to recommend at the current price point when the quality has slipped. The downtown premium makes the value equation worse. Better halal burger options are available.
