Great old time restaurant. Burgers are good, staff is friendly, and the ice cream and root beer is amazing! We really enjoy this place and the atmosphere it provides. They are Family friendly. They even have a jukebox that takes quarters. Just make sure to try their root beer. You wont be disappointed.
Wilson's is our favorite stop when going to Door County. The food is amazing. Atmosphere is 1950's diner. The town is picturesque right on the bay.
Go to food. I would suggest to try a Cherry milkshake or any of the ice cream dishes! Try a Wilson's 1906 Home-Brewed root beer in a frosted mug or a Cherry Phosphate! Burgers are amazing same for the Door County Whitefish Sandwich. Everything is great you can't go wrong with this stop.
We've been coming to Wilson's for ice cream for years. This year did not disappoint! The sweet girl we had helping us made us the biggest cones we have ever seen! The kids could barely finish all of their single scoops! The raspberry lemon sorbet was absolutely delicious as well as all the other flavors we tried. The young girl helping us did so great remembering 11 scoops of varying flavors that we ordered. I like how they started using numbers to call out who was next to order. Also they had a QR code on the sign outside to scan and get your flavor choices so you were ready when your number was called!
I've gone to this establishment since I was a kid.... Some of my favorite memories are inside/out front of the restaurant. Not to mention, it's along the Green Bay lake, which is such a beautiful lake! (Especially to watch sunsets on)
I was legitimately the last order of the season for Wilson's this year. Their root beer float made me feel like I won something! Thank YOU to ALL the staff for your continuous effort to keep this amazing place the same as it was when it opened. ❤️
We went to door county to enjoy a great day. We had in mind to stop at a few local restaurants. Wilson’s had the most open hours which helps a lot. The staff consists mostly of college students from all over the USA. The ice cream and root beer floats were amazing. They also have an atm since cash purchases save about 3 %.
Excellent food, service, surroundings, and treats! Yes, the table side Wall-O-Matics really do play a song of your choosing (for $0.25).
This is commonly a very busy restaurant, so bring your appetite and patience. The servers are friendly and fast.
Parking can be difficult due to the establishment being close to the water. A good option is to park a bit further and walk a few blocks. Enjoyable views!
Omg I love love love this place. This is a throwback to a quieter time. Must get a frosty mug of rootbeer. Food was delightful. Staff friendly. This is a must stop for travelers.
Great quality and quantity. The workers are astute and friendly college students.
Be sure to walk up and get a ticket if you'd like takeout (there are great places to sit nearby along the lake sidewalk). They'll let you know the approximate wait time, which I've found to be accurate. I had to wait 20 minutes because it was so busy. You can be seated inside and wait for your ice cream too but I've never done that.
The ownership has changed families a few times, but the quality has been perfect every time I visited.
Fun to get the special sundae options that are only available inside. Great throwback decor and music, and delicious ice cream too!
We LOVED Wilson's!! Such good burgers & delicious ice cream treats!! Also good popcorn! A busy weekend but the staff were so efficient & friendly. Thanks for a great experience! Also, you have to bring some quarters for the jukebox at the table - so fun!
