For over 50 year's Marty Hall has been making delectable fried onion burgers. In 1989 he opened Sid's Diner in El Reno on Route 66 and has been feeding hungry travelers and locals his famous fried onion burger in his tiny diner. Sid's Diner has become one of the go-to places in the state for a delectable fried onion burger and after one bit you'll see why.
The fried onion burger was invented in Oklahoma in 1920 during The Great Depression. Onions were cheap and beef was expensive so people started adding onions to their burgers to cut down on costs. Fast forward a century later and the fried onion burger is still a highly sought-after burger Oklahomas love.
One of the best spots to grab an onion burger is at Sid's Diner in El Reno. They are located at 300 South Choctaw Avenue and are open Monday - Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The diner is very tiny inside...but oh, so cozy. It's like stepping back in time where everyone knows your name and greets you with a smile.
Marty Hall's fried onion burger is so good it hasn't changed since opening Sid's Diner in 1989. He named the diner after his dad who shared the same vision with him for the restaurant.
Marty says his well-seasoned grill and special spatula are part of what makes his burgers so good.
The burgers are all made with 100% pure beef. You can choose from ¼, ½, or a full pound of meat for your burger. They also come served with tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles on a toasted bun.
The fries are delicious and even better when you add some chili on top.
