Highly recommended.

We arrived around noon on a Saturday and waited in line for about 20 minutes. There's no shade while you wait, so plan accordingly especially in summer! Parking is free and fairly easy to find on the street. It was a bit confusing when we arrived, as there are two windows on opposite sides of the stand and no clear signage indicating where to order. Turns out, you can order from either window. The operation is run out of a small shed with four people working inside. One person was boiling the burger patties, another was taking orders at the window near candy company, a third was at the opposite window, and a fourth was handling payments. The menu is simple: burgers with or without onions, and three condiments--ketchup, mustard, and spicy mustard. Each burger is $6.50, and they do accept credit cards. As for the burger itself, it was okay. The meat didn't seem seasoned, but it wasn't dry thanks to the boiling method. The bun was basic, and the burger size was slightly larger than a slider. Personally, I think it's a bit pricey for what you get, but considering the stand has been around since 1909, they clearly have a loyal following. Overall, I'm glad we gave it a try--it's always fun to experience a bit of local food history.

We read that Pete's Hamburger is the oldest burger stand n Wisconsin, so we had to give it a try…read more When we arrived, there was already a long line with 15 people, and we waited about 35-40 minutes. It's just one gentleman boiling the burgers, and with some people ordering half a dozen at a time, things move slowly. There was no shade while waiting under the hot sun, it might be a good idea to wear a cap. The menu is as simple as it gets: burgers with or without onions, about $6 each and roughly slider-sized. Condiments are limited to mustard and ketchup, and they also sell canned drinks. There are a few small tables and chairs nearby if you want to eat right away. Overall, it was worth trying once for its history and classic Wisconsin charm.

First things first, it's out of the way for almost everyone, no doubt. That said, once you arrive there's a large open parking lot & tons of seating, as this place is huge. We opted for bar seating, tho tables were also readily available. Speaking of huge, the tap list is also rather large. I love the way they do the flights, with no real set number, just as few or as many tasters as you'd like. Each taster has FANTASTIC signage, keeping you informed as to what you are drinking. We did a flight & 1 full high abv BA. The oktoberfest had lovely spice. This was also our lunch stop & we ordered a pretzel with 2 sauces - cheese & mustard, the mustard sauce is a sweet mustard, be warned & the cheese sauce was so-so. The pretzel was a bready-type, as in pretzel shaped breadstick. While it wasn't bad, it also wasn't that authentic Bavarian-style one might be expecting, as I know we were expecting it. I wouldn't order it again here. We also order the Blackened Mahi Tacos. These went nicely with the brews & we both enjoyed them. Initially, service was very attentive, and we were adding as we went. Once we stopped adding to the order, service tapped out & we ended up standing at our stop waiting for the bill. Nothing too drastic. We had both used the restrooms in turns while waiting & the bill came up just as the 2nd of us walked back up. All in all, pricing wasn't crazy high, service was good, the selection was varied & appeared to have something for everyone. The vibe was a bit underwhelming, perhaps because they had just opened for the day(?) We were both glad that we'd made the stop & there was only 1 beer from our selection that neither of us cared for. Each of us disliked 1 other, but that worked, as the other 1 did like it. The only real disappointment was the pretzel, as pretzel snobs... if there is such a thing as a pretzel snob...

We ordered two appetizers- river rat balls & brushetta. Both were really good. All four of ordered the Saturday special of prime rib. Came with two sides. The side salad was the bombdotcom with homemade croutons. The American fries were decent but a bit soggy. The prime rib had ZERO seasoning and I paid an upcharge of $1.00 to make it Cajun. Nope... no flavor. Nada. Just a hunk of meat. I did scope out all other food coming from the small kitchen where you could hear the staff having a great time. It looked good so maybe we ordered wrong... but the menu is limited on prime rib days and what I normally would order wasn't available. Side note- I've worked in the restaurant business... not one person in the kitchen had hair nets on. Food was handles with barehands and I saw repeated cross contamination. The prime rib they cut our hunks off of laid on a counter dripping blood onto the floor that then had a towel thrown over it. I didn't feel great about eating our meal after noting all this.

I stopped going to Spring Lake for a few years and just recently went back when I heard they had new owners. I was pleasantly surprised! I had the peel and eat shrimp which were cooked perfectly. My dad had the prime rib, while it did not have the herb crust it used to have back in the day, it was wonderfully seasoned. My husband got the smash burger- which was not smashed at all and was pretty thick. But it was juicy and he loved it. My mom shared the prime rib with my dad but got a plate of American fries that were just like how they used to be and she loved them. The cheese curds were cooked just right. The portion was smaller than in the past, but they are around the same size or a bit larger than the other restaurants around town. Our favorite servers, Nicole, was there!
