Shop Overview
Fat Guy’s Burger Bar is a casual, made-to-order burger spot at Tulsa International Airport (TUL), geared toward travelers who want something hot, filling, and familiar before boarding. Expect classic American burger-bar fare—burgers, fries, and easy add-ons—in a relaxed setting that works for a quick solo bite or a short sit-down meal.
This is not a duty-free or specialty retail concept; it’s about fast comfort food with straightforward choices. The typical experience is order, grab a seat, and recharge—especially helpful in Concourse B when you’d rather not trek back toward the main post-security cluster near Concourse A for more dining and shopping options.
What to Buy
- Signature burger and fries: The safest bet for speed and satisfaction—go for a standard cheeseburger build if you’re tight on time.
- Bacon or double-patty upgrades: Best value when you need a more substantial meal that can replace both lunch and dinner on a travel day.
- Shareable sides: Fries are the easiest “group” order if you’re traveling with family or colleagues and want to keep decisions simple.
- Non-messy, travel-friendly choices: If you’re eating close to boarding, choose simpler toppings and skip extra sauce-heavy builds to make gate-area eating easier.
Local specialties/airport exclusives: This venue is primarily a burger-bar concept rather than an Oklahoma souvenir stop. If you’re looking for Tulsa or Oklahoma-made gifts, plan a separate quick run to post-security local retail near the main checkpoint (for example, shops focused on local products and souvenirs in the Concourse A area).
Price comparisons: There are no duty-free savings at TUL noted in available airport shopping sources, and dining prices typically reflect airport pricing. Value is best when you choose a combo-style order (burger plus side) rather than multiple small items.

- Quieter times: Mid-morning and mid-afternoon, when you’re more likely to find seating quickly.
Shopping Tips
- Duty-free: TUL sources do not highlight duty-free shops, so plan on standard pricing and keep receipts for expense reports.
- Timing: If boarding starts soon, order simpler builds and consider eating part of your meal immediately to avoid rushing with hot food at the gate.
- Alternatives nearby: If you need souvenirs, budget a few extra minutes to browse post-security retail closer to the main terminal/Concourse A area before heading to B.
- Returns/refunds: Like most airport dining, returns are generally limited; check your order before leaving the counter and address issues immediately.
- Currency accepted: Expect USD and major card/contactless payments, as is standard for U.S. airport concessions.
