Oklahoma Club is One Burger Club I'm Hungry to Join

When locals ask me, "What's the best burger in the United States?" my automatic response is usually McDonald's, Burger King, or Wendy's. Admittedly, this is a bit of a lie. The truth is, we love these fast food spots because they're a tradition. I've been eating at these places for as long as I can remember—first with my parents, then with friends, and eventually with my husband.

Now, don't get me wrong—those burgers are delicious, even if the service isn't always great, the order sometimes gets messed up, or the food arrives cold. But there are other restaurants that might not have the same reputation as these franchises, yet they still serve up some pretty impressive food. That’s been our experience living abroad.

Our latest burger discovery is a restaurant called Oklahoma Club.

Located at Avenida 24 de Septiembre 1946 in Córdoba City, we haven’t had the chance to visit in person yet due to social distancing. However, this past weekend, we were introduced to Oklahoma Club's delicious burgers thanks to an acquaintance.

Although the Argentine government has allowed dining in at restaurants, Zach and I are playing it safe and staying home until a vaccine is available or the number of infections decreases. But we still managed to connect with our acquaintance via Zoom. To make it more fun, we all decided to order from the same restaurant, so while we chatted, we’d essentially be enjoying the same meal.

When our food arrived, I quickly dug into the bag and pulled out the burgers. But as I unwrapped them, my first thought was, "These burgers are pretty small." But you know what they say—good things come in small packages. And in this case, they were absolutely right.

The burger had two layers of juicy meat patties, melted cheddar cheese, and red peppers on the bottom. There was also a nice hint of spice, which we absolutely loved. It didn’t come with lettuce or tomatoes, but that was fine by me since I’m not a big fan of either in a burger.

Once I took a bite, I was in love. The burger was flavorful and juicy, unlike the vacuum-packed patties served at most fast food places. My mouth watered with every bite, and I have to admit—I wanted another one.

But there are plenty of burger options to choose from, some of which come with lettuce and tomato, like the classic burger. There are also other delicious choices like the Oklahoma, the Quarto, the Bacon, and the Cheeseburger. If you're curious to see what these mouthwatering burgers look like, check out Oklahoma Club's Instagram.

The prices vary. A simple, single-patty burger costs $300, while a double-patty burger is priced at $350, and a triple-patty burger will set you back $400. You can also add extra meat, cheddar, and bacon for a small fee. And just to clarify, these prices are in Argentine pesos.

Oklahoma Club offers both delivery and takeout, but unfortunately, they don’t have dine-in service.

So, if you're an expat or a local living in Córdoba City, Argentina, and you're a fan of burgers, you should definitely give Oklahoma Club a try. They've already won me over as a lifetime fan with their juicy, delicious burgers.
