MOB GRILL – ABOUT US
MOB [Marco’s Onion Burger] Grill, is an AWARD Winning Restaurant w/Serious Attitude | 2015-2022 So6ix Magazine’s #OkieHonorAwards #1FoodTruck & #1Burger | 2015-2022 Daily Oklahoman Reader’s Choice Top 5 Burger, Food Truck and Fries.

The MOB Grill was “Commissioned to Satisfy” and created through the many years (since 2004) of Marco and his friends breaking bread {the main course being Marco’s Secret Onion Burger Recipe} together in various venues (from tailgates, parties, camp-outs, charity events, etc). Coming from a long line of family in the food business, it was almost inevitable that Marco Morrow would dive into the food world himself. When he did, it was with a food truck: MOB Grill! His beloved burgers had been a favorite of friends and family for over 10 years before MOB Grill was formed.

While MOB Grill is a salute to Marco Morrow’s fondness for gangster movies and popular culture, the MOB stands for Marco’s Onion Burgers. Morrow began making fried-onion burgers because of love. Love of all things Oklahoma and love of a woman who hailed from the fried-onion burger capital of the world. “My wife actually grew up in El Reno.” Morrow said. “Dating her, going to El Reno a lot and getting to go to all those famous onion burger places, I got to eat my share.” He said after considerable consumption of the original, he began to wonder how an onion burger might do with a little Lebanese influence. “Being half Lebanese, I’m used to a lot of spices and lots of very robust flavors," he said. Marco followed the wisdom he learned from the legendary Ed Thomas, dearly departed founder of iconic Big Ed’s Hamburgers. “My uncle Big Ed liked to put mustard on the bun instead of butter before putting it on the griddle,” he said. “I picked that up from him.” Before char-pressing onion to beef, MOB Grill applies one nontraditional technique. “I came up with a marinade for the onions a long time ago,” Morrow said. "We soak them in it before we cook them." Marco’s secret marinade cleans up the onion’s flavors with a little brightness that makes them standout. The hand-cut fries are blanched in oil then fried to perfection upon order. Buns come from La Baguette Bakery in Norman, which are among the local products and ingredients that make MOB Grill a Made in Oklahoma business. They also have many more MOB Themed sandwiches, salads and desserts to for your dining pleasure. So come and get some ... capiche!?

MOB Grill has won numerous awards every year since its inception: #1 Hamburgers, #1 FRIES, #1 Dessert & #1 Food Truck are ones they receive consistent recognition for. Once you give it a try, you’ll see why.

MOB Grill was started with the help of Marco’s friend, Seth Barker “the CAPO”, who has a passion both for these burgers and for people. Seth helped MOB get off to a running start and was a huge reason for the success of the food truck from 2014-2021. Seth decided to move on to other career opportunities in June of 2021; he will be greatly missed and will always be a vital & important part of MOB Grill history and a big reason for our success to date. He will be a MOBster for life, because once you are in, you are never out! We love you Seth!

MOB Grill Food Truck had an unfortunate accident which totaled it in April 2021. For the time being Marco has decided to focus MOB’s efforts on his concept inside The Parlor OKC, OKC’s Hippest Upscale Food Hall and Bar Concept in Automobile Alley. We will keep you posted if and when the truck will return.
