    New Belly Busters Restaurant Offering Burgers, Dogs & Deep Fired Goodies! – Menu 

    We fell in love with Belly Busters after ordering the “Deimos Burger!” This burger consists of buttered Texas toast, 1 juicy beef patty with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and grilled onions. All Belly Busters burgers are served with thick slices of Texas Toast and come straight of the grill to your table. We can’t wait to try several other crazy named burgers and dogs, “puppies”, from their menu. Look for a full review coming soon on the Front Page of TulsaFood.com.

    We got a hold of their menu so you can download the Belly Busters menu here.
    True to its name, Belly Busters is a new burger and dog joint in Tulsa that will to fill up your belly with huge, mouth-watering grub piled high. You can also find menu items like deep fried Twinkies and Oreo cookies. Not your ordinary burger joint, Belly Busters sports a decor of movie memorabilia with a pop culture feel from the purple and green paint job. It’s one of those places that has a cozy, cool and open feel from the window-filled dinning room.

    We can see Belly Busters easily becoming a top burger destination in Tulsa. We feel lucky to have stumbled upon this place just as they opened. We are now recommending it to Tulsa’s burger, Dog and deep fried food lovers to give it a shot.

      Deimos is the Greek god of terror.

        I just phoned them. They are open Mon to Sat, 11 to 7. In the Crystal shopping center about a mile beyond Ollie’s Station on Southwest Blvd. They said Deimos Burger was not named after terror but after one of Mars’ moons.

      Very creative menu for Belly-Busters. Like the style and like the food.

    Why No Real Dairy Queens in Tulsa? 

    Every once and a while and mainly while on road trips, I get to stop at a full service Dairy Queen store. To me, that means ice cream and burgers… the full menu. Its surprising that we only have one Dairy Queen location here in Tulsa and its a corporate looking Dairy Queen/Orange Julius shop in the Woodland Hills Mall. Not the same!

    Here is what Tulsa is missing out on. If you hit the right location you will find delicious burgers and other menu items that I classify as addictive comfort food! Take for instance this chicken and gravy basket. Peppered gravy that is thick, but not too thick, Texas toast and deep fried chicken strips.  You are looking at one of Oklahoma’s favorite meals.

    Even better, the burger that is built for a road warrier. This burger is a top contender among fast food burgers. Hot, fresh cooked beef that’s filled with flavor. The bacon, thick and also flavorful with cheese that you can actually taste the dairy in. Bottom line is that It was a good burger, it hit the spot, and it helped me for the long drive ahead.

    So where are all the Dairy Queens in Tulsa? Is Tulsa too big for a location? Do we have to many burger joints? Or maybe Tulsa’s Dairy Queen is named Queen Braum. Whatever it is as long as I know where to get one of those burgers I’ll be ok.

      I think the closest location is in Okmulgee — if it’s still open!

      • Scott 1:27 pm on July 21, 2011 Permalink | Reply

        Okmulgee DQ is still open. I stop every time I drive through, even if just to get a dish of soft serve. The place is always busy.

      In Texas there are so many of them they refer to them as “Texas stop signs”.

    • ChipperMuse 11:01 am on July 21, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      Oh, I feel your pain. I miss a full Dairy Queen menu almost as much as I miss Dunkin Donuts (which also is strangely missing from Tulsa… Anyone have an explanation for that?) And no, Tulsa isn’t too big for a Dairy Queen. I grew up in a very populated part of Connecticut, and there was a DQ there.

    • tp 12:50 pm on July 21, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      Found a Dairy Queen recently in Gulfport, MS and of course had to make a stop. Gulfport’s stop signs are Waffle House…I have never seen so many Waffle House’s in my entire life!! I think there was one every mile or so down Beach Blvd. Crazy!!

    • Debbie 1:43 pm on July 21, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I would love to have a Dairy Queen in Tulsa or even closer to Nowata. We love visiting the Grove one when we are over there. Their Peanut Buster Parfait is my very favorite.

    • Misty 4:54 pm on July 26, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I 2nd this question. I am from east Tennessee and grew up with Dairy Queen right across the street from my high school. I miss them so much and it’s been even worse since despite not having one thy still show the commercials here. Such good food and it amazes me all the time that we don’t have one…..

    Bring In-N-Out Burger to Tulsa! 

    Tulsa Food Guy got me thinking. One of my favorite burger joints from California, In-N-Out Burger, is making its way to Dallas, Texas. Why no Tulsa, Oklahoma? Here is the article from the Dallas Morning News. There are plans for a distribution center and 8 of the burger restaurants. Tulsa is on about 4 hours away. Come to Tulsa In-n-out Burger!

    Comment below if you agree!

      I have asked this same question for over 10 years now! Being from CA, and being an In-n-Out Burger fan, I’d love to see them in Tulsa. Besides, their bumper stickers can be ‘customized’ by trimming the B and R, to let everyone know what you are really hungry for. ;-)

      • adam 2:26 pm on January 25, 2011 Permalink | Reply

        I have never actually tried an in-n-out burger, but I like what I hear. It’s on my “food I’ve got to try before I die” list.

      Mmmm… that’s all I have to say about that.

    • Brian Schwartz 3:57 pm on January 20, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      If you go, be aware of their secret menu. Since I see animal fries in the photo, I guess you are. I went for the first (and only) time in Orem, Utah. I was all hyped to go. We got this:

      I was slightly disappointed. I would choose it over Sonic (probably) but certainly I’d never go to an In-n-Out that opened next to Claud’s.

      • Brian Schwartz 8:39 pm on January 20, 2011 Permalink | Reply

        I’d like to retract my previous comment. I just got in touch with the woman who ate with me at the Orem In-N-Out, and she said that the Orem branch is not nearly as good as the ones in California.

      check out the page ‘Bring In N Out Burger to Tulsa” on Facebook. they are interested in expanding and with the facility they’ve built in the DFW metroplex, we have a real fighting chance of getting In N Out here. And I can’t wait! Went to Allen Tx last month and had my first In N Out burger in a couple of years. Soooo good. All I can say is let’s band together, let them hear our voices and how much we want them to come here!

    • Cathey 5:02 pm on August 10, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I agree with Chery, its been close to 2 years since I’ve had In N Out. If we let them know we really want them then they’ll come here.

    The Brady Tavern Hamburger – Up Close & Personal 

    The Brady Tavern Hamburger has been a much anticipated and talked about burger among some of Tulsa’s foodie community. Now that it is here and has been enjoyed by so many lets talk about its. My comment will be in the comment section. Also, keep in mind that Brady Tavern has been open for a few weeks… they are still perfecting things. We are simply burger lovers discussing what we LOVE!

    This is how the burger is described on the Menu

    The Inside: Ground Short Rib, Chuck, and Brisket topped with Stilton & Mushroom Cognac Cream.
    The outSide: House baked Challah Bun
    Next to It: House-Cut Shoestring Fries with Fried Garlic & Rosemary

    If you have not had a chance to visit The Brady Tavern read Brian Schwartz review titled “New Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa is Fit for an East Coast Transplant”

    Below is a quote from a comment by David James about the Burger.

    Now, lets analyze the signature hamburger. The picture of the hamburger presented by Mr. Schwartz in his review does induce an elevated degree of anticipation. Reading the description of this jewel in the center of the menu almost makes it a mandatory order to gauge the restaurant. I suggest that they move this entry to a less prominent place on the menu. The bun was round, smooth and beautifully proportioned. It is a flavorful bread, baked in house and is a great background for the patty. There, something got lost. Touted as a combination of three meats, the flavor became muted somewhere in its creation. Cooked to the doneness ordered, medium rare, the meat was not dry but not juicy, due I am sure to a shortage of fat. Generous quantities of blue cheese was in the cognac laced spread on the hamburger. The cognac, being intended to mollify the intensity of the cheese, failed in its assignment. Don’t get me wrong, it was not distasteful it was simply unexceptional. It did not measure up to the tout.


    An Inside look (As Ordered Medium Rare)

     

    • Brian 1:21 pm on January 10, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I agree with David James on this. The bun is nothing short of amazing. The idea of this burger is also beautiful. At first I thought the burger was a little dry… but then realized that it was just missing something that I could not put my figure on. Oh yeah…. fat! Introducing a little extra fat into a burger gives it a special flavor that really connects with my soul. I have found that awesome flavor in a burger = fat.

      I also realize that Brady Tavern has not been open for more the a few weeks. I am sure they will prefect this baby.

      I still recommend checking out Brady Tavern and trying the burger. We had a wonderful experience.

    • Michelle 9:19 am on January 11, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I disagree – I don’t think it was missing a thing! It was
      the best burger I’ve ever had, fat or no fat. Granted, Ed ordered
      his without Stilton, so I haven’t tried it with the cheese, but the
      cognac sauce was amazing & flavorful, which complimented
      the beef. In fact, I wouldn’t want anymore fat added to the burger,
      since there’s plenty of fat in the sauce & the cheese. I
      don’t want it to be greasy & dripping, which I’m sure is
      what the chef has in mind. I can get a greasy burger anywhere in
      Tulsa. Brady Tavern burger is outstanding.

    I need a burger! ASAP!!!!! HELP!!!!! 

    I had this burger when at Outback in Branson, MO. It is the medium rare Blue cheese burger with grilled onions on a toasted bun. The meat was so hot and juice and with that blue cheese and grilled onions on top it becomes one of my favorite types of burgers to bit into.

    What is your favorite type of burger? Do you LOVE Blue Cheese like I do? mmmmmhm.. I need a burger! ASAP!!!!! HELP!!!!!

    What do you like in a fast food burger? Every once in a while I hit up a fast food joint. A few weeks ago Wendy’s invited us to try their new burger which has Apple Wood Bacon on it (below). Few things… it reminded me of college, when I would order about 5 $.99 bacon cheese burgers at a time, the bacon was better then other fast food places but I think I missed the apple wood part. Lastly, I have to say Wendy’s does make a perrty good fast food burger… what do you think???

    Check out the link to a contest Wendy’s is currently holding.
