If you're anywhere near Prairie du Chien, Pete's Hamburger Stand is worth the stop. It isn't a…read moregourmet burger loaded with toppings--it's the complete opposite. The menu is simple, the burgers are unique, and the history is part of the experience. The onion-poached burgers are juicy, packed with flavor, and somehow the simplicity is what makes them so memorable. The sweet, soft bun and perfectly cooked onions just work. You may have to wait in line, but that's part of the charm of a place that's been doing things the same way for over a century. If you're expecting fries, cheese, or endless customization, this probably isn't your place. But if you appreciate local legends, nostalgic roadside food, and burgers with a story, Pete's absolutely delivers. I've been going here since I was a kid. It was my grandfathers fave.

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin. They're closed Wednesdays.

Would not recommend to anyone with food allergies…read more I have a nut allergy and asked the employee if the vegan cheese contained nuts (vegan cheese is often made with cashews or almonds). He had no idea, and worse, told me the restaurant didn't even have the packaging or ingredient list to check. A restaurant that can't answer a simple allergen question shouldn't be in business. Totally irresponsible; shows a lack of care

But 2 Mits is convenient to many of us on the Iowa side and I like it just as much - if not better - than another place in Wisconsin. The bread is very fresh and the burgers are top notch and flavorful. Please DO get the cheeseburger. Combined with the onions, it is a combination you can't beat. The only regret is that I did not bring some of my own brown mustard - all I saw was that yellow stuff so I passed on that. No biggie - the burgers are so flavorful one does not need to doctor them up! I'll be back again in a week or two when trout fishing. My only regret is not having tried 2 Mit sooner. It's simply fantastic!

How are there no reviews for this on Yelp!? We regularly…read moredrive about 125 miles each way to get some of the deliciousness known as a "2 MIT Burger". I would be willing to drive farther but I only live 125 miles away currently. They serve a deliberately limited menu: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and brats. Bags of chips, Cheetos, Doritos, etc. are also available as well as soft drinks. But those burgers --- not greasy at all, and served on a made-this-morning bun! You can get your burger with cooked onions ("mit onions") or "mitout" or you can get it with raw onions if you'd prefer. As someone who has eaten these in NE Iowa and SW Wisconsin for over 50 years: try one with cooked onions at least once. You'll love it!

I chose this restaurant based on its great reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was very…read moredisappointing. When I walked in to pick up my order, the employee assembling my food wiped her gloved hands on her pants before continuing to prepare my meal. She also used those same gloves, which were covered in food and sauce, to bag my order. The outside of the takeout containers and bag was greasy, and after seeing how my food was handled, I couldn't get past it. I only ate a few bites before losing my appetite. I also got the pita chips, but they were extremely dark and tasted like old oil, as if they had been overcooked or fried more than once. We had been driving all day and were passing through, so I was really looking forward to a good meal. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and honestly grossed out. I hope the restaurant takes food handling and quality control more seriously because the reviews led me to expect a much better experience.
