Why order a burger at a breakfast diner?
About a third of the people who write about the burgers here call it the best they have found, or the order they keep going back to. Rhema Bible Training College is a short walk down West Kenosha Street, and one former student put it this way: “I lived in student housing and would just walk right over. I always got their bacon cheeseburger and fries.”
What is on every half-pound burger?
Each one starts from the same build. The patty is half a pound of 100% American beef, cooked the way you ask. Tomato, lettuce, onions, mustard and mayo go on a freshly baked bun, and pickles come with every burger. Two of the eight leave the bun behind and go open-faced over Texas toast, so you eat those with a fork: the cowboy and the Chilli Cheese Burger.

Until what time can you order a burger?
50’s Diner is open 5:30 AM to 3 PM every day, and online orders for pickup or delivery are taken from 5:15 AM to 2:25 PM. That makes a burger here a lunch, not a supper. Order pickup or delivery, or come to 1500 W Kenosha St on West Kenosha Street by Rhema Park, with a free parking lot and street parking; the phone is (918) 806-6999. One customer notes that the drive-thru window has no menu board outside, so pick your burger from this page before you pull up.
