The hamburgers are the star of the show. They are made with freshly ground beef and a special homemade seasoning. Don’t expect a pink burger here – they are all served up well done, with raw or fried onion offered at no extra charge.
The business prides itself in delivering high quality products – most of the food offerings are sourced locally.
People drive from hours away to get a burger at Wedl’s. Some customers have been coming here since they were small – some of the smallest customers are undoubtedly starting their own Wedl’s traditions.
A meal here can come with a sweet and creamy finish. There’s an adjacent ice cream parlor, that serves up Madison’s finest: Chocolate Shoppe Ice cream!
While Wedl’s is just a walk-up stand, there’s additional seating available in the ice cream parlor. Learn more about the business and see a menu on the stand’s website. If you love a good Wisconsin hamburger, here are many more restaurants to savor. Have you visited any of these delicious spots?
