Busy busy on this gorgeous day but the staff did a great job working through the food and ice cream lines! Delish burger and home cut fries, but the ice cream and milk shake were definitely the winners as we sat in the sun with a cool breeze. Such a great area to sit and enjoy the tasty treats and space for pups and kiddos to stretch their legs and check out the babbling brook read more

Well it's a unique place in a unique setting. Your food bill will be a bit unexpectedly high, and your food will be pretty darn good. Hand cut fries are awesome. We stop here when we are in the area, it's worth it! People are nice, setting is fabulous. read more

The menu can be overwhelming with choices, but that's a positive for your taste buds. Reasonably priced, quick service and staff are very friendly. We enjoyed sitting at the picnic tables near the Creek. Fries and onion rings were hot and tasty. The Asian bowl and kid's chicken nuggets received two thumbs up. My bacon, blue cheese burger was a bit of a let down. It was cooked perfectly, but somewhat dry and lacking flavor even with all the toppings. Would definitely give it another go and , overall, enjoyed our visit. read more

We ate there today, the onion rings were so overcooked and crunchy that we could hardly eat them. They were on the verge of being burnt. The Hot dogs were good, but I asked for onions and relish on one and relish on the other with no onions and I got onions on both and no relish on either. For two hot dogs, two onion rings and two waters, It came to almost $30 for that price and the quality of the food we would not eat there again. read more

Fun, super traditional New England ice cream joint off the side of the road. Seating is picnic tables set along a wooded stream - it's really rather pleasant. For the icecream you can get hardpacked or soft serve - neither was mind blowing, but they were rather good. Prices are rather cheap, and it's a nice little stop off if you're in the area. We actually ended up swinging back by a second time when in the area if that says anything. They serve Burgers and sandwiches from a different window. I didn't get a chance to try them, but they actually looked a couple steps up from your standard shack-style joint. I would try them if I go back. read more

Fun little ice cream/frozen yogurt spot that is nice on a hot day. Scramble down to the creek and enjoy your licks while dipping your toes in the babbling brook. The blueberry flavors left something to be desired. Tasted a bit too artificial to me. Still, a fun experience overall! read more

On our way to NY we took the scenic route through Vermont. We passed this little stop thinking we'd hit it on the way back. Once we got to the town past it we turned back. I'm so glad we did! Good prices for good food with amazing views around us. read more

Wahoo's Eatery - Western burger with cheddar cheese - Burgers Near Me - Wilmington, Vermont

It was Saturday night. We showed up and saw a packed parking lot and went ahead and ordered dinner. 45 minutes of sitting on rocks next to a highway, Wahoos had served about 12 orders and there were another 12 before ours would be up. We got a refund and left. read more

Seriously one of the BEST burgers I have had in a long time! I got their bacon blue special. Cooked to perfection (medium rare). Juicy, full of flavor, good burger to roll ratio. Just happened upon this place, and so glad I did. Parking lot works for truck with camper, and nice outdoor seating. Don't pass this place up! read more

We went on a massive 2-week family road trip, 12 states, dozens of meals. When I asked the kids (there are 8 of them...) what were their top meals, this place was in everyone's top 5. For a family of 10, that's pretty impressive! This a seasonal grill (think fixed location food truck) set beside a stream. Of course, if you're eating on the property, the weather must be cooperative. They have picnic tables set in a pleasant mowed area and they are being extra-safe regarding COVID-19. The highlights were Korean tacos and Buffalo Fries. The tacos were outstanding with BBQ and slaw. The fries had a great sauce and plenty of bleu cheese. Yum! It was fairly pricey for a roadside stand, but you're getting top-notch food in a picturesque setting! Honestly, I doubt I'll be back because this was a once in a lifetime trip. If we are back, though, this place will be a meal. Maybe 2! read more

Wahoo's Eatery - Great spot! - Burgers Near Me - Wilmington, Vermont

We would give 5 stars for the bacon alone!! Such a cute little roadside eatery! It was a beautiful day and Wahoo's was busy. Service took a while but not unreasonably long. We got a bacon cheeseburger, the Cajun chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Everything was excellent and portions were large. Outdoor seating is a bit limited but overall a great experience. We would recommend and return! read more

I love this place. They use local veggies. They have great food. They have a cute little brook to splash in while you wait. And it's about the half way point on a road trip we take often. I ordered the Korean bbq tacos and honestly they were one of the best I have had. A dream. There were perfectly diced veggies either in the salsa or slaw. It gave such a nice textured crunch. The aioli on top was just the right amount. Sometimes tacos are drippy and messy with the fillings, sauces, or grease coming out. Seriously, they somehow perfected the quantities. No dripping on my hands! My son loved his chili cheese dog. The chili had lots of beans and big chunks of meat. He was surprised at how good just the chili even was. My husband ordered the pineapple bacon burger. The meat itself had great flavor. The bacon and pineapple just pushed it over the edge. The only slight disappointment was the chicken nuggets. Definitely the frozen kind. My bad though. I should have ordered chicken tenders but didn't realize until after. My daughter still liked them and was happy. Everyone was thrilled with the food and the great spot. I wish this wasn't only a seasonal place. We come through here every few months. I'll enjoy it during the spring/summer trips and look longingly at it as we pass through in the winter. read more

We just moved to town and we love Wahoo's! Their food is good, with a diverse and kid friendly menu. I love the chicken caesar salad wrap, the seasoned fries and the grass fed burgers. You can't beat sitting outside on a nice day near the brook that runs behind the restaurant. You can dip your feet in to cool off if you want to afterwards. The ice cream is a great way to finish your meal. My husband and I share a regular soft serve twist and it is the thickest soft serve I've ever had! Milkshakes are pretty good too. As always make sure you tip well (I worked in the service industry for a few years in New Orleans, but with this inflation it's even more important!) I personally think this helps with quality, and faster service since you bring your food to your own table. Would recommend to anyone looking for a solid, fast casual meal. Update: just realized that they had a change of ownership at the end of July, but have no idea who the new owners are. There was a longer wait on a not so busy night, a mistake with our order, and the soft serve ice cream was not as good as it usually is. read more

Wow, I have been coming to this place with the family for over 16 years. It's been going downhill for some time now, but this last time was so below average I had to write this. Waited 40 min for our order. This is not a big deal but my chicken sandwich was $14. It was a 2x2" piece of breast, one small piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato. It was served on a stale roll with zero sauce or condiments. The chicken was overcooked but did have a nice flavor from the brine. My daughter had a wrap which was served to us a full 2 minutes earlier than the rest of the order. I think attention to detail and quality control are the answer. read more

Very uninspiring crispy chicken wrap. I Must have missed them calling my order number but when I went to check to see if it were ready it was sitting on the counter with no name or number on it ... the counter help .. she was pretty rude when I asked if were my order and for an additional bottle of water ..this is all after I gave a decent tip ?! read more

Great food and service! We had awesome fries and sandwiches here...worth the stop! Check it out if you are anywhere nearby!

Great roadside burgers and shakes. Everything was made fresh to order. They have great outdoor seating. read more

Wahoo's Eatery - the outside of the restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Wilmington, Vermont

Popular outdoor drive-in restaurant serving ice cream treats, burgers, hot dogs, fish frys, sandwiches, salads, kids meals, & Pepsi fountain drinks (self-serve). This Wahoo's does not serve Fish Tacos like the Wahoo's in California. Bummer! There are wooden directional signs pointing to other Wilmingtons including Wilmington, CA which is 2,871 miles away. Gravel parking lot and picnic table seating outside. The clientele here is mostly tourists passing through the area. I ordered a Flurry ($3.75 tax included) with soft serve twist ice cream, Reeses Pieces, & topped with whipped cream, decent tasting and very sweet on a hot day. The service here was friendly and quick. read more

Was starving so anything would taste good but the fish and chips was perfect. burgers and fries good too. crowd all seasonal from nyc and surrounding areas. tons of families dogs, bikers etc...place is long walking distance to everything downtown. big parking lot, eat outside at tables and on rocks. read more

The small serving of peach ice cream was generous and very good. Service was moderately fast.

Love, love, love this place, what a find! My boyfriend had some work to do in Wilmington so we decided to find a place to grab a couple of burgers and found this gem. Since we were traveling with the dogs this place was perfect, we ordered our food and ate at one of the picnic tables while our furry friends sat with us. The food was awesome, fresh burgers on grilled buns and delicious hand cut fries. read more

Drove through Vermont to reach NYC and had to stop by this cute place. I had the delicious Korean Bowl and whatever else my other friends had was great too! Outdoor eating scenery is nice too, with a creek nearby. read more

Fun stop as we trekked through Vermont! Got some nice hand dipped ice cream and a soft serve twist. Make a stop here!

Only 5 reviews? Huh? Maybe you just don't have to review something that is legendary. I've only been a very temporary Vermonter over the years, and even I knew about it and couldn't wait to get back here. I had (ahem, on several occasions... apologies to the diet I was supposed to be on!) a great 6oz burger of VT grass-fed beef and cheese (sometimes with blue cheese, yummm). The bun is awesome, brioche-style but slightly crispy/crackly. I had some perfect hand cut fries, and maybe the best (I.e. non-soggy/underfried) sweet potato fries I've ever had. This is not a fancy-schmancy burger, not a restaurant-style burger, it is what it is, a roadside joint with picnic tables, and it excels at what it does. In fact, I took a young French friend of mine here to show her what a good American Hamburger can taste like. She liked it, of course, How could you not? (Ok, technically if one were a vegetarian...) Go visit the little creek behind the tables outside. It's a cute little place that seems almost like a secret. read more

Great takeout food. We had grilled cheese, portobello mushroom wrap, and fries. All were above average. Fries especially tasty and crispy. Best grilled cheese around. All employees wearing masks and enforcing masks and 10' distancing in line so very secure regarding COVID. read more

What a great little spot! Although we waited quite a while, the food was delicious. It's rare to find healthy options at a roadside restaurant but the grilled chicken wrap was fantastic. read more

This place is so fun! The setup (pickup window and outdoor picnic tables) is completely perfect in these COVID times. The hamburgers are delicious and the grilled cheese with bacon and tomato is so satisfying. My kids really enjoyed the ice cream after dinner. Perfect spot for a super low-key family dinner. My kids keep wanting to go back. read more

Disgusting and way over priced. Worker told me the chicken sandwich was fried and it was clearly grilled. shake and chicken sandy $16 smh

Great seasonal grill. Wish they were open more. Love the Portobello Mushroom Wrap! Service has always been quick and helpful in my experience. read more

The food is so yummy here. Tastes fresh and very flavorful. Great menu and yummy ice cream too!

The burgers - really one star. Too raw inside, mushy, lack of any flavor and price too high - 6 bucks. Turkey burger tasted better (but no pickles??)) but too dry and again, blah. 4 stars for the ice cream soft serve. Super creamy, good (but not outstanding) flavor. For the ice cream the price is right, plus it is a fun outdoor summertime stop! (and crowded!!) read more

Great little place in the middle of nowhere! $6 cheeseburger , really yummy! Some people said it was pricey but we thought it was worth it :) the blue cheese was really strong....quality blue cheese . We would stop again... If we are ever in Vermont. read more

Wahoo's Eatery - Blue cheese burger and chai tea milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Wilmington, Vermont

Great food and creative menus Two stars due to incident Saturday evening at 8pm. Went to get ice cream with family. Daughter tripped and hit head on rock in parking area. Parking is totally dark - not one light. One employee was concerned. Manager could care less. Trip to Brattleboro for six stitches More lights and some empathy would go along way. read more

Wahoo's enjoys a sterling reputation for its community involvement, and that is more than reciprocated by customers who flock to this ultra-casual roadside stand day and night. And with good reason. Everything is cooked to order. We found the 6-ounce burgers from local grass-fed cattle exceptionally delicious: moist, not too overcooked (you can of course order well done if you want to avoid any flavor) and with a wide choice of fixings. Burgers are $6. The regular fries and parmesan /garlic fries are every bit as good, and the serving size is quite large. Our fellow-diners raved about their chili cheese dogs ($2.25-2.95); we have yet to sample them. But you can also choose a variety of sandwiches including a veggie burger, if so inclined. And they serve ice cream and shakes to a constant line of folks; we passed on dessert after getting filled up on the yummy burgers. Seating is outdoors, either at picnic tables or on soft, level rocks near the river, or, as we noticed, some people bring their own chairs and tables. Some Yelpers have noticed dirty areas; the bathroom and surroundings were clean when we looked, however. Folks in Wilmington, ravaged by Irene in 2011, tell us the owners endured a lot of damage, but like others here they have survived by helping out their neighbors. Not that you need another reason to enjoy the tasty food here, but doesn't that make you feel pretty good, too? read more

This place hits the spot! Good burgers and good ice cream. I was camping in the area, needed a quick bite and saw this place. It's exactly what it looks like which is why I give it 5 stars. It's a quick burger place and you get a quick, made to order, burger. The Mallory burger was very good. Also, never ate on while sitting on a rock before. Very fun! read more

Ordered the portabella mushroom & chicken wrap. it was marinated in a vinegar/oil base and it was terrible. There were a lot of charcoal black pieces of pepper in the wrap. The wrap fell apart it was so flimsy. The forks were sitting outside in the open air on a table and there was dirt on them and there were flies all around them. read more

The wait can be long but the quality of the food and ingredients is really high. I really like the portabella wraps and conch fritters. The burgers are also excellent but they always slightly over-cook my medium rare request. If you are in the area I would suggest stopping by. You won't be disappointed. read more

Seriously tiny place with big attitude. Just a little hut on the side of the road. Menu is varied and in all the right ways. Food is fresh and thoughtful. Love the crispy chicken wrap and burgers are delicious. Don't leave without ice cream. Order the onion rings for sure! read more
