Fat Guy's Burgers

918-794-7782. Downtown Tulsa, corner of Greenwood & Archer (on east side of new baseball stadium).
Unique and terrific take on hamburgers. This is a higher quality and more creative variety of hamburger and still manages to do without snobby atmosphere and high prices. The interior is brand new, clean, comfortable and appealing. The owner/chef honed his career in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and it shows. It has Brooklyn's vibe of being approachable, unpretentious, creative and uninhibited. Its original takes on the hamburger include Thai and other influences that work and will surprise you. Creative dipping sauces for fries, etc. Of course, it excels at the real-deal American classic. Noticeably better quality meat tastes fresher and unfrozen. Top it off with terrific desserts that belong more in high-end midtown NYC, ice cream, beer and sleek plasma screens scattered around the restaurant.
