Oakwood Proper Burgers

Could eat here every day

The Patty melt was great!

Killer smash burgers, Oakwood proper knows how to do it right! Delicious!

Parking: Limited parking in front of the restaurant, but there’s a bigger parking lot behind it. Kid-friendliness: Only a few kids options, but the grilled cheese is amazing and the build your own burger is big enough to split between 2 kids.

The burgers here are a major game changer. This is a hidden gem.

First off, this place is like stepping back in time to the 70's, wood panel walls, formica tabletops, old beer signs and other cool details, a lot of thought went into it, just a really cool vibe and staff was friendly and helpful. The new dining area on the other side of the patio has an old tube tv with vhs tapes you can play, the other tv was playing episodes of my favorite show Twin Peaks and they had cool merch, a shirt that looked like the Black Flag logo and one with Henry from Eraserhead on it (they must be huge Lynch fans like myself). The french fries were delicious and they give you an enormous amount of them, enough for like 3 people, I really do wish they had a smaller size, if it's just you you'll either walk out with a ton of them, I'll put mine in the air fryer or you'll just toss them and I don't like wasting food. Mine I got with the vinegar salt, to me they just tasted like normal salted fries. I got the basic Proper burger, shredded lettuce, pickles, american cheese, and a variation of the classic burger sauce, they call it a smashburger but it's not a smashburger, it's much bigger, doesn't have that super thin patty with the lacy edges and a hard sear, also it wasn't really seasoned all that well if at all, the bun was fancier than it needed to be for something like this and the burger sauce wasn't particularly flavorful, didn't stand out at all, I found myself dipping it in ketchup which I don't ever put on my burgers but it needed something extra. The burger itself was also kinda dry. You want to go out and get a better thing than you could make at home and I just make a better smashburger than this. I would definitely go back though, they had a ton of interesting sounding specialty burgers on a menu that seemed very well curated and maybe one of those would hit the spot more than the Proper.

I loved loved everything. Everything hot and fresh when it gets to your table. Nice vibes great ppl. Burgers juicy. Fries HOT. Decor is warm welcoming. Lil Southern hospitality at its finest. The orange and cream shake taste like my childhood summers. Thank you

Just got some fries from here, and they are SO good. I've had a burger in the past, and they are also amazing. Great place to check out for sure. Dietary restrictions: The fries are fried in soybean oil for anyone who's wondering.
