Inside the Stockyards’ Most Unforgettable Burger Stand | Texas Country Reporter

Along Exchange Avenue in the Fort Worth Stockyards, we found a small walk-up burger stand that’s turning heads, and honoring tradition. Ruth’s Grill may sit on a busy corner, but behind the sliding window is something deeply personal. Owner Ruth Hooker is serving old-fashioned food with a sense of humor, a whole lot of pride, and recipes rooted in history. From classic coneys and milkshakes to baloney sandwiches, everything feels familiar, until you bite into the burger. The Oklahoma fried onion burger is the star. Made with fresh beef, thinly sliced caramelized onions, mustard, and pickles, it’s a Depression-era creation born out of necessity and perfected over time. Simple, honest, and unforgettable. But this story goes beyond food. Ruth is a proud member of the Choctaw Nation, and her menu reflects that heritage—from Indian tacos to the values passed down through generations. Every order is a way of honoring her ancestors and sharing culture with the thousands of locals and visitors who pass through the Stockyards each year. This Texas Country Reporter story is about more than a burger stand. It’s about identity, tradition, and how food can connect past and present, one simple meal at a time. If you love Texas food, Fort Worth Stockyards, classic burgers, and stories about people putting their whole heart into what they build, this one’s worth stopping for.
