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

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

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

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

Driving past this place you'd think that all they have are burgers and hot dogs. But there are so many options! Chicken, fish, veggie burgers, and wraps. I love the no-nonsense deliciousness. The chicken sandwich with bacon and pineapple is great. The fish sandwich is also very good and topped with a creamy tartar-like sauce. The fries aren't bad--hand-cut and well-seasoned--but could definitely use a little more crisp and a little less sog. The ice cream is a must dessert. What's also great about Wahoo's is their environmental consciousness. They recycle and even compost! Plus, their utensils are compostable as well. The perfect stop when you're hungry and it's not raining! 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

Came through on a Sunday afternoon. Place was mobbed, but the line moved quickly and our food was up in a reasonable amount of time. So - what you do is take a look at the menu, figure out what youre having, then get in line & place your order. There is a $10 credit card minimum, but thats pretty easy to hit. They give you a coin with your order number written on the back. You then wait by the pick up window for them to call your number - and thats that. If youre not around when they call your name, they will use the PA to call it out. There is a condiment bar next to the pick up window. Decent amount of seating scattered throughout the property, but like I said its a busy place. We wound up sharing out table with two older gentlemen about half way through our meal. What we ordered: Vanilla Milkshake - Very good, clean vanilla and dairy flavor. Not too sweet. It was, dare I say, too thick. Even with two straws, we had to wait 10 minutes or so before we could actually drink it. Id definitely get this again. Cheeseburger - Totally unremarkable. Like an average backyard bbq burger. LTO - bready bun - bitter char. Unseasoned. We would not get another burger here. Wahoos Special Marinade Chicken Sandwich - Exactly the same thoughts as the burger - completely unremarkable. LTO, bready bun, boring grilled breast (no discernible marinade or brine), unseasoned. Only thing worth mentioning is that the chicken was not dry. We would not order another chicken sandwich here. Large Hand Cut French Fries - These fries were amazing. Maybe the best I've had in VT. I was shocked how good they were. Perfectly fried, crispy, potatoey, seasoned with salt and pepper (its possible she put the seasoning on it at the condiment bar). I would come back just for the fries. Id drive 30 minutes just for the fries. Any time I go to Shaws, its going to be hard to not swing by for an order. Worth noting - the guys who we shared our table with also had a order of large fries - which were about twice as large as ours were - we also noticed some other people with much bigger portions of fries. Bummer for us...I could eat them all day TL;DR - Come for the hand cut fries and the milkshakes. Skip the burgers and chicken sandwiches. read more

Stopped here for ice cream. Ordered a large chocolate hard ice cream in a waffle cone. Paid over $7.00 for it. Received 2 very small scoops that barely protruded past the top of the cone. This would be considered a small at most other places. Not worth the money. Next time I'll wait till I get to Brattleboro to receive a proper portion. read more

This place might appear to be nothing on the side of the road but let me tell you... this place is a gem! Delicious food! I had the pineapple bacon chicken sandwich and wowza!!! My hubby got the crispy chicken wrap and loved it!! If you're in the area and need something quick but good quality food, this is the place for you! read more

So after a 3 hour drive I was told that if I needed a satisfying and quick lunch to stop at the bottom of the hill..... you'll know it by the line... And there it was picnic tables, cars in lot...people waiting in line. Must be the place. So my young traveler and I stopped in for what would be a delightful time. Our order was taken quickly, grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and a grilled dog. Okay not the best diet, so we skipped the fries and chips. We had waters and fresh fruit cups for dessert. Let's start with the grilled cheese ... have to believe the bread was homemade, thick slices perfectly grilled to a golden crisp, melted cheese that oozed out and more bacon than any sandwich really needed. A perfect lunch for a young or older traveler. The grilled hot dog was okay... it was only lukewarm.. and a bit salty. So I was a bit disappointed since this was my first hot dog In years. So will I stop in on my next visit to Wilmington yes in deed... from all the other reviews I'll try a burger. So sitting at picnic table with the sun on your face, silly conversation with a child.. what could be better. read more

Great little local place! I've only had the yummy ice cream but would like to try their food one day. Big portions, friendly staff, pretty atmosphere. Kids and dogs love it! They have a dairy-free sorbet and a doggie sundae. read more

Wahoo's Eatery - Giant Adirondack chair at Wahoo's Eatery! Lots of Fun! - Burgers Near Me - Wilmington, Vermont

My wife and I stopped here for a quick lunch after a long drive to VT. Great picnic area near a small stream with plenty of out door seating. Food is excellent and great quality. My wife had a burger and I had the marinated chicken wrap that was great. Both of us shared an order of beer battered onion rings. They were awesome! Give this place a shot and you won't be disappointed. read more

We live in the area and Wahoo's is our go-to summer outing for lunch, dinner or ice cream. My new favorite (and new on the employee specials menu) are the Korean BBQ tacos. Delicious!! Wahoo's adds creative menu items each year. This is not your standard roadside burger stand. Try the Bonanza burger!! read more

Excellent place ! When I visit my friends in Wilmington we often venture here for good food and ice cream .

Hand cut fries are crispy and delicious. I ordered a black bean quesadilla, which was yummy. Iced coffee was very good. Great little stop in Wilmington! read more

A small burger icream stand, overlooking a river and mountains. Cheeseburger basic was outstanding, juicy fresh meet. Definiteky return. Oh hot dogwasalso good. read more

Conch fritters EXTREMELY salty and deep fried until overcooked and hard :( ...my husband's burger was good :)..overall not great and very pricey...$20 for burger, fritters, one small fries and 2 sodas read more

Not impressed. Yes its a roadside stand, but we have come to expect better things from even foodtrucks so why should a roadside be any different? The hamburgers were tasteless waited forever to get it too. Fries were good as were the sweet potato fries. The ice cream was bland too. Bet your bottom dollar i wont be back. read more

Chicken nuggets didn't taste like chicken (it obviously was not real chicken, it was like that chemical-made chicken like McDonald's has) and was absolutely shocked to see that they were hollow. The music choices they had at that place were horrible. While I was ordering I noticed two jars with something above it say, "Who tips better? Boys or Girls?" I knew that they were just trying to get people to tip, but that idea was very sexist and unnecessary. The pond nearby was a nice sight, though. Would not reccomend. read more

A great summer roadside meal and soft-serve option. Picnic tables in the grass at the foot of a hill, and near a stream, make for a pleasant setting. The food is suprisingly good and varied, and the prices are reasonable. read more

Philip sorry about your experience but this place is a winner, esp.. as its in the middle of no where. I had a Mabel patty melt perfectly cooked MR. Excellent fries and ice coffee, I was happy as a man lost in S Vermont. So glad I checked it out on Yelp, a mile down the road. PS the college girls were lovely to me, maybe a tad slow, but the burger was Perfect! read more

Awesome food and friendly staff. A great summer stop for ice cream and burgers. Must try the bacon blue burger!

Enjoyed a wrap and a burger at this very busy place. Reminiscent of the old days and road side burger stands. Fun place to eat and the ice cream is delicious. read more

Always a fan, great sandwiches, yummy fries, nice selection, something for everybody. Cooled off with a soft serve icecream, just what I needed with this hot holiday weekend, got a baby cone for the dog. Such a huge menu, would love to see a bigger ice-cream menu. Always a clean bathroom, and eco-friendly garbage station. read more

Super-casual roadside stand. Had the portobello mushroom chicken wrap with a Gluten-Free Wrap. This one had a little too much balsamic vinegar for me but was still very tasty. The family really liked their crispy chicken and chicken caesar wraps. Sweet potato fries were good too. Ice cream afterwards was delicious! Soft-serve small was pretty big and had nice flavor. Kids really liked the S'mores and Toasted Coconut hard-serve flavors. Had a little line but moved quickly. read more

I love Wahoos! Nothing says summer to me and my family then going to Wahoos for dinner, which we do quite often since we live close by. The food is good and affordable and it's a great place to bring kids because it is outside and they can run around while waiting and not worry about spilling and messes. I highly recommend the wraps, particularly the portabella and chicken one and the steak one. The kids meals are a good bargain. We love to finish off a meal with an ice cream cone and a walk down to the stream. read more

The food at Wahoo's is good. The burgers have a nice char on them and the fries are great. It's a casual setting next to the river and a good place to come at the end of the day for a quick meal. The place is recovering after having been trashed when T.S. Irene devastated a lot of the surrounding area in 2011. But here's the downer - the bathrooms and garbage areas were absolutely filthy on the day that we were there. It was concerning that employees were using those facilities and then preparing food. There were signs up apologizing for the state of the rest rooms. Rather than apologize how about have someone tackle the place with a mop? We've visited Wahoo's every time we've been up to Wilmington but I'm not too sure we'll be back again. read more

Nice and clean. Great burger. Friendly. Stop by if ur in VT.

We stopped here after visiting the flea market. We were 3rd in line to order, and it was a solid 20 minutes of standing in line before we could order. The place was quite busy, and after ordering, we waited another 20 minutes for a seat to open, as it's outdoor seating only, and limited space. It was about 10 minutes later that our food was ready to pick up at the window. My milkshake had been ready for half an hour, and was left sitting at the pickup window until melted. There were 3 people with dogs, eating at the tables. There were several others with small children, who ran amok, screaming, yelling, and throwing things at each other, at cars, at patrons, etc. Our food was not correct, as one had tomatoes who had asked for none. Another had onions, and had asked for none. The food quality was "Meh". Also, I made it about 20 minutes before needing a restroom after eating here. This place may be better at other times, but for me, it was not a good experience. read more

We stopped there on our way back from vacation on the east coast to grab a quick bite.....had a burger and fries. Burger was awesome and fries were the cut fries, done to perfection! They were the best fries ever! Nice outdoor seating, which was great since we were traveling with our dog......picnic tables and tables & chairs creek side. Too full for ice cream.....but it looked good as well! Friendly staff and quick! read more

Great food. I had a bacon & blue cheese burger with fries. Good blue cheese crumble, thick crispy bacon and tasty bread

I've been coming to Wahoo's ever since I was a little girl, and with each passing year both the icecream and food menus have become more intricate and delicious. You would think that such a small restaurant would struggle to impress locals and out of staters alike year after year, but I have yet to be disappointed. The staff are always ridiculously nice, and even though they are typically relatively young (high school age) they are all able to act in a composed and friendly manner. Add in the fact that the only seating available are charming painted picnic tables scattered amongst large rocks for sitting and the family atmosphere becomes unparalleled. I would highly recommend stopping in for a bacon bleu burger (my favorite classic) and some deer tracks ice cream next time you're driving along Route 9. read more

BEWARE: Count your change!!! Caught the cashier not giving me the correct change twice now :/

Very basic fast road food catering to the many tourists. No locals eat here. We had a garden salad with rotten green peppers and mushrooms. Took it back for a refund and they gave our money back, to their credit. If you are starving and in a hurry, beware but you probably won't die eating the food. If you can wait, there are plenty of other options on Rt 100 either north or south. read more

This is not the wahoo's that goes with the website given on Apple maps. It's all burgers and fries at a high price for a mediocre meal. (Salmon burger + bacon burger + 2 kids hotdogs + large fries = $40). The setting is very nice hence the extra star. Otherwise there's nothing special about the food and would look elsewhere to take the family. Maybe stop here for ice cream afterwards, though it's a $10 minimum for credit cards. read more

Awesome little place for having a burger and shake on a nice summer day. Family friendly and great staff!

Best food in the Valley. Order online, pick it up and head to the lake! They are fast, easy, with a great selection. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but if it has aioli it's a must!! read more
