J & W Grill

i have been eating here off and on for over 30 yrs. smae place just you everday diner. love all the types of food. But the main stay is their onion burger. Amazing. same way it has been fixed for years. and fresh cut fries to match the meal. if breakfast is teasing you taste buds then they have the best pancakes. (the size of the plate) if you have kids the cook will even make the pancakes into a cartoon character. If you want a place to visit come on by. You won’t regret it.

I’ve been craving a delicious coney, so on my trip up to OKC, I stopped by J & W. I loved bellying up to the counter of this classic diner, the sign says its been here since 1954! It doesn’t appear that very much has even changed here since 1954, including the prices, which is a-​OK by me.
The restaurant is simply a long counter with comfy little stools to sit on. They seem to do a great business. The server and line cook were a great team and people were in and out really fast.
It was 9:40 AM when I stopped in, everyone at the counter was eating breakfast. I sat at the counter directly across the grill to watch the action, their grill cook was amazingly fast and efficient, I loved seeing fresh cracked eggs versus that other carton egg junk that lots of restaurants have started to use.
I ordered two coneys topped with cheese and onions. She also offered to top it with slaw, but I held off on that. I also had an order of fries.
The portion sizes were bigger than I expected, lots of coney places tend to use really small dogs, this was a regular size hotdog. The bun was soft and slightly toasted, the dog itself was a little bland, I like a nice card casing and more seasoning. Unfortunately, I didn’t really love the coney sauce either. I like it a little bit spicier/​saltier, but thankfully Tabasco was on the counter and it helped. There’s cheddar and fresh diced onions over it, and they looked terrific. These are very filling, I ordered two, but really only needed one.
The side of fries came in a large basket. They were outstanding fries, they appear to be hand cut, and they were fresh and hot out of the fryer when they were served to me. I ate the coneys over the fries and lots of Coney sauce and cheese fell on the fries, so I had impromptu chili cheese fries by the time the coneys were eaten! I bet I only ate ¼ of the fries, the portion was enormous.
I drank a soda and the server seriously refilled it every time I took a sip, she was super efficient! They sell milkshakes that I bet are outstanding.
The real star was something I *didn’t* order, but I watched a bunch of them being cooked in front of me: the onion burger! I’m new to OK so this phenomenon is new to me. I’d assumed people were exaggerating the amount of onions that go into the burger. If anything, they’ve understated the amount. They looked amazing!
Friendly staff, cheap prices, really fast service, I’ll be back!

Awesome little place that I stumbled upon! The food was fantastic and the people made me feel like family. Be warned though – seating is very limited and it’s not very comfortable for visiting with little kids as it’s bar-​top seating only.

Very good food! Perfect place for a burger and fresh cut fries! Best place for lunch in Chickasha that we have found. The seating is very tight but definitely worth it. The ice cream shakes are really good, we can never finish our food!

Best breakfast in town. Brandi is the best server. My drink is never empty. She always knows my order. One morning she even ordered my daughter an extra pancake just in case she needed one. The grill was going to change over to lunch. My daughter was so happy cause of course she needed another pancake.

Been eating here since I was born ;) small cheeseburger few fried (for those who want just a few fried onions). When you drive by you can’t help but smell the awesomeness and want one!

This place is one of my all time favorites! Been coming here for 40 years and it hasn’t changed a bit! Great staple of Chickasha and a must see if you have never been. Great service, great food! Gotta get an onion burger and the fresh cut fries are second to none! Not many seats but the food is quick and they will have u a place quick!

There should be more places like J & W Grill… full of character and characters. The grilled onion burger, fries, and Pepsi were, simply, great. In many ways, J & W’s offers lunch and a show. Watch the staff as they maneuver the narrow area behind the counter cooking burgers and serving customers. Don’t be alarmed if you are sternly (but, in the most friendly tone) spoken to as you inevitably slow down the choreography practiced brilliantly by the regulars. Enjoy.

This place is good! It’s a no frills diner with table seating outside. I had a burger with bacon and onions. I’ll definitely come here again.

It is a wonder to watch the employees in action around lunch time. We stopped there on a whim when the burger place at Meers had a line 40 deep out the door. Not terribly hungry after a quick hike in the Wichitas, we waited to eat until we reached Chickasha.
Boy am I glad. Fries were fresh and hot and served immediately while we waited on our burgers. The burgers showed up maybe 3 minutes later. Best onion burger I’ve ever had.
Clientele is mostly local and friendly, it’s got all the small town charm you could ask for. Simple diner with limited seating, but the onion burger is worth waiting for, not that you’ll have to wait long. They take to-​go orders and if that’s the route you go you’ll be in and out in less than 10 minutes, easy.

Can’t beat a double double. With grilled onions. I get mine with mustard and pickles only.
Fries are hand made as well. They also shred their own cheese. Hands down a Chickasha classic. Their ice machine is also the best.
If you can make it for breakfast do it!

Freshly prepared food + friendly staff — seasoning — sufficiently drained fries = charming greasy spoon.
This place is the Cheers of Chickasha. Everybody knows your name, unless you don’t live in Chickasha, then they just stare at you.
Very fresh food, all cooked right in front of you on the griddle in all it’s small town diner glory. I had the fried steak sandwich, served piping hot. Not a lot of seasoning, but the freshness of the ingredients carried the meal much farther than typical fast food swill.
They will give you an entire fryer basket worth of fries for a SINGLE order, again, hand cut and sat down in front of you seconds out of the fryer.
The problem this presents is 3 fold though:
1. You want to eat the fresh fries, but when you try, you cauterize the inside of your mouth because they JUST CAME OUT OF THE FRYER.
2. No time for the excess grease to drop back off into the deep fryer, so instead they drip all over the basket/​hands of the person eating them.
3. Not fried properly as in twice, so many of the fries end up being limp and lacking crispy-​ness.
I saw several un-​kosher practices that wouldn’t cut the mustard if an inspector came through, but nothing that would scare me from coming back. It is super cheap, super fresh, could use some polishing & refining, but not much gets polished in Chickasha, OK, and the most refined thing in town is USAO’s art gallery.
Healthy? Hell no. Tasty? Yeah. Something I’d drive from OKC all over again to indulge in? Not a chance.

Great greasy burger joint. The onion burger had great flavor but on this day the hand cut fries stole the show,. For nostalgia sake, sit at the counter and watch the griddle sizzle as each burger is smashed with onions. The service was quick and efficient. Take time to exit the turnpike and experience an old school American dive.

Second best burger in Oklahoma, right after Nic’s OKC. They know how to fix burgers, service is outstanding, their fries are dead on. Can’t go wrong at J&W. Get there early.

My wife and I ate here in December 2011 while visiting the Festival of Lights. It has the best service I have ever encountered. It beats all 5 star restaurants I have eaten at. The food is good old american. It is fast, fresh, and generous. It seems to be really busy, but definately worth the wait.

A total gem located in the heart of Oklahoma. My husband and I happened upon this restaurant on a cross country drive. They almost won’t let you leave without ordering a fried onion burger, so best just to ask for one up front. The fries are fantastic and one order is enough to feed three. The food is fresh and fast and the service is unbelievable. Highly recommend!

We make a stop here every year when my family visits Chickasha from New England! GREAT, speedy service, cozy diner feel, and delicious, classic, melt-​in-​your mouth burgers with fried onions on top yum yum! Just had to take off a fraction of a star cuz you’ll leave smelling like what you ate!

This is an American original. It has been in the same location and looked the same for at least 40 years. They make onion burgers — a small patty of burger meat fried with a handful of onions. Come in during lunch for a real show. Don’t worry if there are no seats because they move a lot of burgers.
When they ask you ask for a «cheese burger fried and a basket.» Then sit back and watch the action. They take the orders like the old SNL skit, except instead of «chee burger, chee burger» they use a different code. See if you can figure it out. It looks and sounds like complete chaos, but everything is in perfect order. Burgers come off the grill in the same order as they went into the cook’s head. Half the time, he can tell you who ordered it.
These are not the greatest hamburgers in the world, but they are the greatest onion burgers in the world. Go for the experience. I stop there at every opportunity.
