It's a wonderful place to eat! Excellent burgers, excellent everything! I think you guys should put in an outside eating area:)
very good lunch!
And even better with the free ice cream on Monday!
Aesthetic: 5 stars
Food: 2.5 stars
We used to love this place when we lived in the area and recently visited for the first time in 4 years. The food definitely tasted different (the burgers seemed a different consistency, they were soggy and had to be eaten with utensils because of it, everything was more bland especially the Mac salad) but we’ll chalk it up to a fluke and try again someday. Husband said the root beer was still 10/10. Still an extremely aesthetically pleasing place to eat for that retro vibe.
Eat here, the local burger joint. Classy, local 50's decor, clean and upbeat friendly staff. Old high school sports team photos, a jukebox and a big open seating area. All this, and the burger-n-fries is good eats.
Tom Wahl's is always a fave (over bill gray's). The steak sandwiches or burgers are always good just a little sloppy. I love adding meat sauce to it but it can be a little too spicy for my liking. They should consider and small batch of non spicy meat sauce as an option.
Love the root beer! My fav is bacon blue cheeseburger and fries. The old music is fun! Meals are freshly cooked to order.
Overall another satisfied customer. I took the food to go. It was good. They cooked faster than the estimated time on the phone call. Which would normally be good for eating there. But since it was pickup the was as hot as it should have been or expected.
The cheese curds were magnificent as expected. I say expected because this isn’t my usual Tom Wahls. I’ll definitely be back but just arrived a few minutes earlier than their estimate. Oh! Ask for your fries crispy! So much better for those thick fries. Thx Tom
Always a nice relaxing environment to sit and eat. But the Mac salad is very bland.
The Atmosphere is nice gives that old 50s feeling with modern equipment. The people who take the orders are not always the best listener's though, coukd do better cleaning tables and floors.
Food was exactly how i ordered it tasted great hot & fresh only reason they didn't get a 5 star is because the manager talking to employees was annoying & negative in ftont of about 8 people waiting for food there's just things you don't say in front of customers POSITIVE VIBES ARE KEY
Went to tom wahls when I was a kid finally got a chance to take my wife after moving back to New York food was better than I remembered
I love Tom Wahls and would eat there every day of I could. If you've never tried the Wahl burger ur missing out on the best burger around.
