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

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.

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.

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.

TFG, I checked and they said it was okay for you and your son to come as long as your son poops before you come to Brady Tavern.

Well, I might be able to facilitate that, but I can’t guarantee he won’t also poop there.
