No, no, no, Doug! An onion burger isn't even a little bit like a White Castle, and, yes, it is classically limited to the El Reno (just west of OKC) area.
In the first place, it's BIG. Three times as big as White Castle, maybe four. In the second place, it is a loose (almost loose enough to see through) patty of meat, almost like you chopped it quickly off the end of a package of ground beef to make chili but slapped it on the grill instead. Then it is fried on the [greasy] hot top separately from the onions. They are combined on a greasy hot bun when finished and served -- now, Easterners, remain calm -- with your choice of ketchup or yellow mustard. Mustard goes on hot dogs! Not always.
There is a fair amount of other stuff to see in El Reno, and if you space your eating, you can have an onion burger at each of the three classic places. I had potato salads rather than fries with mine, IIRC.
