Meers Store & Restaurant
Where to start? Located in a former gold rush town that's now home to a single family and this restaurant — and nothing else — the Meers Store & Restaurant might not seem worth the trip. But it's far more than just a historical footnote. Despite its seemingly shack-like condition, this family-owned affair serves up the best burgers around, made exclusively from Texas Longhorn beef raised on the family's own ranch. It also serves its own unfiltered wheat beer — Meers Gold brew — made using the original recipe from the Choctaw Nation — and is filled with historic photos and knick knacks. But perhaps the most surprising feature is the active seismograph, installed in May of 1985 by the Oklahoma Geological Survey, monitored by the store staff, and one of the most sensitive stations in the country.
