Food Friday: Sun Cattle Co.

I have been hearing about Sun Cattle Company for quite a while now, supposed to be some of the best burgers in town. We were in the area and decided to stop to give them a try.

First, my biggest issue is the parking situation. There is a parking lot behind the building but you have to pay. During the week, the curbside parking is also pay, if you can find a spot. At least it was a Saturday afternoon but we still parked two blocks away. After our short stroll, we did walk right up to the counter to order. Since it was my first visit, I went with a simple cheeseburger. Big K of course had to have the biggest burger, the Big Jack. I also got an order of their onion rings while Big K chose the chili cheese crowns. We got our order pretty quick. I was pleasantly surprised how big the onion rings were, gigantic. I started on them immediately, they were incredible. Thick pieces of onion dredged through a black pepper batter and perfectly fried. They were the best onion rings I have had in a long time. The burger was good as well. Meat was perfect with a nice char along with plenty of fried onions mixed in on a toasted bun. Big K was thoroughly enjoying his order. He wolfed down the chili cheese crowns, I had a bite and they were good as well. He did love the Big Jack, compared it to the MotherTucker at Tucker’s.

We had a great visit, other than the parking. Sun Cattle Co. has been in the Film District for a couple years now and I can understand why they have been successful. While you are in the area, you can walk around the historic district. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, the Film Exchange Historic District has a lot of Art Deco buildings still standing. I will give them 5 strips of bacon, preferably on a burger.

Food Friday: Ron’s Hamburgers and Chili

For quite a while there’s been a commercial on local tv that is featuring different businesses in The Shoppes at Northpark (Northpark Mall for all of us old-timers). In that commercial they show some of the items on the menu for Ron’s Hamburger and Chili. Front and center is one of the best looking footlong hot dogs I’ve ever seen. I decided it was time for us to visit again.

All 3 of us got to go on a Saturday afternoon. Since you can get to the restaurant from the parking lot, you don’t have to walk through the mall to find it. As good as that hot dog looked, I decided to order a basic bacon cheeseburger. Miss Mae got the footlong hot dog without chili and Big K got the Polish special. We also got mozzarella sticks and onion rings to share. Everything came out pretty quickly and it all looked just as good in real life as it did on tv. First up were the baskets of onion rings and mozzarella sticks. The rings were great, the breading had a great taste as did the sweet onions inside. The sticks were the same way, bigger than most, they were good to share. My bacon cheeseburger was good. Nice solid burger with lots of veggies, cheese, and bacon bits all stacked on a toasted bun. Nothing fancy about this burger, just what you want out of a bacon cheeseburger. Now for that footlong hot dog, I had a bite, next time I’ll be ordering it only with chili. The bun was toasted, the dog itself had that good snap with a great flavor. Big K’s Polish special was interesting, spaghetti with chili and Polish sausage on top. It’s an interesting mix but we actually tried this dish in Ohio this past May. He really loved it, thought everything was cooked perfectly from the pasta to the chili.

We had been to Ron’s several times in the past, the most memorable visit was in 2010. We took my husband’s uncle to their former Edmond location to thank him for donating bone marrow to my father-in-law. The Edmond location is closed and this new location has been in Northpark Mall for about 2 years. The employees were really nice, even complimenting my daughter on her newly colored purple hair. If you are looking for a good burger, hot dog, or even something different like chili over spaghetti, check Ron’s out. They have lots of locations around the state. I give them 5 strips of bacon, preferably wrapped around that hot dog.
