Braum’s Ice Cream and Dairy Store

I shop for groceries here and eat bunless burgers (they ALWAYS get it right) from time to time. What a great bunch of people. And you know what, Braum’s does make everything better. The grocery has a small selection of quality products. This is just a great little Braum’s.

This is a good, reliable Braums. Generally good service and freshness, with an emphasis on ice cream. Great limeades too! Nice little market for essential items.

I’ve been to this location twice now — the first time I had a burger and fries, while most recently I shopped at the fresh market and left with a desert as well.
The burger and fries were good. Certainly nothing special, but the burger seemed fresh, the service was excellent, and the price was inexpensive. Exactly what you’d expect from a fast food burger joint. Last time I was there I grabbed a desert. A brownie sunday to be exact, and let me just say it was delicious. For 10pm on a Sunday night this place was fairly busy. I can see why. Service was once again friendly and the prices and taste were spot on.
I’d give this place 5 stars for the consistently good service, taste, and the surprisingly low prices found at the till and in the fresh market section of the store, but there was one significant concern I can’t look past.
The sugar. I saw a different review raving about the skim milk they sell in their fresh market section. As I drink skim milk I thought I’d check it out. Upon a closer inspection I found the caloric count higher for the fat free milk compared to the partly skim (1% fat) milk. The answer bothered me a bit. It was the sugar. 18 grams of sugar. That’s disgusting. Makes me wonder what else they load up with sugar to enhance flavor.
Maybe it was the fact I just watched a documentary on sugar added to almost everything we eat. Maybe I was just feeling guilty that I bought it anyway. Either way, I consider that sugar content to be a negative.
Of note, the milk is delicious.

Since coming to Oklahoma 2 weeks ago, I’ve been practically asking every single person that I meet where are some good places to go for food. Many have suggested that I go to Braum’s for some ice cream and burgers. Due to today’s gloomy, humid weather, I decided to make a trip here after dinner. When I entered, there were only 2 people in front of me. The service wasn’t fast, but it wasn’t slow either. I’m glad that I wasn’t first in line because I needed a moment to decide what I wanted anyway. I ended up getting a 2 scoop cone, since it only cost $ 2 and the 1 scoop cost about $ 1.40. Of course, I had to make the most logical and economical decision, right?
There are probably around 15 – 20 different ice cream flavors — none of the flavors stood out to me as too crazy. So I stuck to my usual favorite — butter pecan. For my second scoop, I got I think it was cappuccino chocolate crunch or something like that. Both flavors were very tasty and the size of the scoop was very generous. The ice cream wasn’t overly sweet and was not icy. The waffle cone was tasty too.
This isn’t the best ice cream I ever had, but for only $ 2, this is easily the best valued ice cream I ever got. I’ll definitely need to get ice cream here again before I leave Tulsa!
This place seems to be a local favorite. On my way out, the line had about 10 people in it. I think this is the most crowded I have ever seen at an eatery in Tulsa.

This Braum’s was clean and the staff was friendly. The cheap food was, as expected, cheap and awful. But what can you expect from 2 dollar breakfasts. I would recommend going somewhere else for breakfast food.

They have quite a few gluten free products right before the register, will experiment with a GF brownie mix.
UPDATE!!! The gluten free brownies are delicious! Better than any regular flour recipe or mix! I bet all their the King Arthur Flour brand GF mixes are good, will try others. Thanks Braum’s for going out of the way by stocking GF products!!!

Staff the checkout area in the market section. OR (this may be a little radical) tell the walk up counter staff to tell some one there are customers waiting at the market checkout, INSTEAD of standing there dreary eyed and looking on indifferently. I know it’s hard to find good help for lousy wages…

I stopped into this location earlier tonight to grab dinner to go. Got a burger, fries and a drink, basic order. Many fast food joints would manage to screw it up, but this was perfect to a T! And the staff actually listened to my order, I made a few specific requests and they got everything right. But one thing struck me more than anything else.
The customer in front of me when I came in had lost a gift card and thought she may have thrown it away on accident. The staff separated into two groups, one looking for the card in the trash and the other helping customers, until they found it. After it was found, the server apologized for the delay (maybe three minutes) and I told her it was fine.

Best dairy products in the US, and a super inviting atmosphere
