Delicious food, great selection of ice cream treats! However, that past couple of times, my family has visited, the dining area has been kinda gross. Dirty condiment/ soda area, flies, and dirty floor and tables. Staff is overall friendly, but at our last visit, the Braums sauce was out, we let an employee know that we wanted someone and if they could restock the dispenser and they made it seem like it was an inconvenience for them to do so. But again food is delicious and great prices, especially thier price on ice cream scoops and shakes.

I went to Braum’s for a burger, ice cream, and emotional stability. The burger was solid, the fries disappeared before I made it home, and the milkshake was so thick my straw filed for workers’ compensation. The grocery section always feels like a side quest. I came in for a combo meal and somehow left with eggs, bread, and deep respect for cows. Service was fast too. The cashier looked like they’d seen some things, but still handed me my bag with the strength of a true Oklahoma warrior. 10/10. Braum’s is what happens when a burger joint and a small-town grocery store decide to become best friends.

I live 3 hours away from my hometown. I'm disappointed because I would always get my food with a frozen twist in a cup to substitute the shake or drink. And they don't do that anymore.... that was a custom my grandma would always do with us. Just don't understand why they can't do that... ruined my trip down indy braums

I'm not used to seeing a fast food restaurant and mini grocery store combined, so that was interesting and cool. Unfortunately, the burger and fries were very bland and dry. The chocolate shake wasn't bad, but not spectacular either. In all honesty, I wouldn't go back because it just didn't satisfy my tastes.
