Sid's - El Reno, OK

Non burger eaters get two or three Coney Islands, which are bright red weenies topped with chili and a superfine slaw with a mustard punch. Milk shakes are so thick that they are served with a spoon as well as a straw.

"Sid's flies the U.S. flag outside; inside, the history of the Oklahoma frontier is epoxied into all the table tops."
