I enjoyed my burger and fries that I had here. It was simple but good. The service was efficient and friendly and the place had a casual ambiance with a decent amount of seating. read more

I was very disappointed. Burger was overcooked and dry as the desert. The thin sliced tomato did not provide enough moisture to overcome the dry burger. Burger was not seasoned that I could tell. Bun was fresh, but not toasted. The lettuce was iceberg leaves; thankfully, not dreaded shredded/confetti lettuce. Onion rings were a tad overcooked and warm-ish, not hot. Thankfully, they were not greasy. Milkshakes are soft serve; I passed. Service was mixed. Burger came quickly, too quickly? Was it already cooked and kept in a warmer that dried it out? Dunno. Will I return? Nyet - I will drive south to exit 125 and visit Kewpee. Dining room and restroom are clean. Ample parking. read more

I'm a former restaurant manager and this restaurant is definitely mismanaged. My family's food sat on the counter, getting cold, while I waited 7 minutes for one order of onion rings. My main issue is the Manager was making burgers our entire time in the store. (30 minutes) That is not the job of a restaurant manager. She should be expediting. It's her job to run the store, not hiding in the burger line. If she didn't hide making food, she could help her employees maintain a high standard of service. read more

Wilson's is a Findlay staple. A nostalgic classic burger or chili dog with a few different sides and desserts. Well worth the visit. The service is friendly and if they're busy they send someone out to take orders in the drive thru to speed things up. The interior is very basic diner, but tidy and clean. read more

My hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise was good, but the tomatoes are still paper thin. I don't recommend the chili. It was watered down too much. The fries are good. I imagine the malts are still good. I didn't get one this time. read more

Got 2 hamburgers, onion rings, and 2 donuts. The hamburger patties are a bit thin but the burger is still fufilling, the onion rings are a bit oily but very crispy and good. They also offer to warm some of the donuts and they were great. They get to you extremely quick and serve with a smile. Fantastic service, very patient and kind people. The atmosphere feels very warm and vintage. It's also very clean, overall a pleasant experience. read more

Wilson's hamburgers are consistently delicious year in and year out- imho Findlay's very best and juiciest burger!

I understand that prices need to be increased due to economic conditions, but $7.15 for a double cheeseburger that I can get at Keith's Dugout for $5 is just ridiculous, and I like Keith's better anyway, no thanks. Had I seen the price prior to ordering I would have left. read more

Food was as I expected it should be. Old fashioned smash burger with Delicious fries.

Going to Wilson's is like going back in time and dinning at a mom and pop hamburger joint from yesteryear. The restaurant does not have an expansive menu, but instead focuses on the items making up their specialties: burgers, dogs, fries, onion rings, malts, and pieces of pie. Long a fixture in Findlay, the establishment is short on signage, and can be confusing to navigate for a first-time patron. Customers queue up at the cash register and place their orders (including any condiments you want on your sandwich), then once the food is delivered to a bright blue tray, move off to one of the restaurant's booths or a stool along the windows wrapping around three sides of the building. In my case, I ordered a double hamburger with bacon and cheese, plus mustard, ketchup, pickles, onions, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and jalapeno. With a big, 'boss' sized Pepsi, my total was less than $7, which felt like a great price! The food itself was not fancy, but the portions are decent and it tasted good! I especially enjoyed how the diced onions on my burger mixed in with the ketchup and mustard, reminding me of the way my grandma used to serve 'hamburgs' back when I was a kid. Also, much like hamburger shops of yesterday, patrons do not bus their own tables, and instead staff come by and clean up the tables after customers leave. For good food at good prices, and a great trip back in time, I rate Wilson's Sandwich Shop as being Very Good, and look forward to returning! read more

yes the "thick" was tasty yet the price at the pay was bitter. The very unfriendly female as she attempts to hand me item says $2.55 I reply only one small think ? Again she hands items just out of reach and says $2.55. So I pay. As receiving change I say I will not be back. A size small, didn't fill an 8 ounce styrofoam coffee cup w plastic lid. Plus it was already melting. Must have been filled way before window as I waited thru a long line. wilsons sandwich shop use to be awesome read more

After coming here more often, I've perfected my ordering skills. I don't get the onion rings anymore because I might as well just drink oil. I still get the fries though since they're AMAZING. At my most recent visits, they remember to put in my daily dose of veggies. I also recommend eating in and not going through the drive through! read more

I went there today to treat my little nieces from out of town. Had the frosted malts (3 small, I medium), and an order of onion rings. The frosted malts were melty, not the thick consistency as usual; the onion rings were just so so. Spent almost 16 dollars, very disappointed. Not like before COVID. Oh, and there was only 1 other customer there, and 3 in the drive through. I guess some people are willing to trade a good reputation for a buck; I think I'll pass in the future. read more

This is must stop! When I am visiting Findlay Ohio, I must get a Wilson special burge. Famous hand spanked burger cooked on the grill. Wilson's have not lost their touch in cooking burges. Fast, hot off the grill and good. Not all that special - but serve consistently the same way since the day Wilson's opened in 1936. read more

My grandfather first brought me here when I was a child. He told me he's been visiting since a hamburger, soda, and a movie cost him 0.10 cents. I live in Texas now and my grandfather died in 2021, but every time I go visit Ohio, I make sure to stop by. They'll never be anything but 5 stars for my family. read more

The prices now at Wilson's are insane. $8 for a double cheese burger is insane. It's decent food but definitely not worth the price anymore. All these fast food places have lost their mind and forgot why the reason people go there to eat. It's not because it's the best food by any means, but it's cheap and fast and nowadays, none of those places are cheap or fast and the food quality is mediocre at best. There was a bunch of construction guys ordering in front of me yesterday and their average lunch bill was 17 to 20 bucks each. They weren't ordering crazy big orders either. For $20 you can go sit down and have a real nice lunch at a real restaurant. we as consumers just need to stop giving them our money and they will realize that they fucked up until that happens. They're going to keep being greedy though. read more

Wilson's burgers are what a burger is supposed to be! I truly respect any business that lasts as long they have, they've been serving burgers since the 1930s! I live in Michigan, but if I am traveling near Findlay, I need to stop here! I like to order a triple cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard, bacon, jalapeno, onion and pickles If you have that you don't need anything else, but the fries are tasty too. I haven't had their breakfast but I am interested I highly recommend Wilsons for the perfect classic burger in a cool old school diner! read more

The food is not good. McDonald's is way better. Staff is not that friendly. Would go elsewhere.

This was my first time having Wilson's!! I loved it! The burger was very flavorful and very solidly built....as in there were no "sloppy condiments" or falling apart as it was ate. The onion rings were amazing as well! Will be returning!! read more

Great place to stop for a meal if you are traveling near Findlay. Friendly service and reasonable prices.

I absolutely get that Wilson's is a community treasure, but are they REALLY anywhere above average? I personally do not think so. They have everything you'd want from a diner- burgers, fries, malts, and even delicious pie options. Every one of those options is totally mediocre, and I can't really seem to find a stand-out for anything on the menu. The hamburgers are your standard faire; probably a quarter pound patty before it was cooked on the flat top, put on a fresh roll. I got bacon on mine for my last visit, and it tasted like greasy cardboard, and nearly chipped a tooth. The ingredients are fresh that they use to top the burgers, and have been every time I've visited. The fries absolutely need some work. They're not fresh cut, and hold a striking resemblance to Burger King fries. You're going to need a lot of salt and ketchup to make these appealing, as they're mostly bland. The desserts are above average! The shakes and pies are delicious. I had the cherry, and was extremely satisfied. I've had their malts and shakes on multiple occasions, and have never been disappointed. The price is right. You can get a burger, fries, and a drink for around 5-6 ducats. The premises is always clean, and the staff has always been friendly enough. Give them a try if you're in to nostalgia from the 50's. read more

The hamburgers were great but there Chocolate molts were like a milkshake should colder and thicker

I haven't eaten here in a while but I remember my grandpa taking me here to eat and I really enjoyed the food. Both the meals and deserts were delicious and I really recommend eating here! read more

I like Wilson's. It's not a fancy place and neither are their hamburg. They will put plenty of fixings on for you though. I like their food and their prices - reasonable. Their deserts, chili, onion rings and fries are all good as well. read more

Wilson's if the Famous Burger Place in Findlay. Eatinghere is like stepping back in time to our parents generation of diners, no not Mel's diner, but what came after that. During the weekday lunch hour anticipate a wait. It's as though everyone downtown heads to Wilson's for a burger and fries. They're delicious and inexpensive. read more

Me and my friends were trying to go to this old favorite but it was everything but expected. Food was inedible and under cooked. Along with also a failure to follow the simple request of no tomatoes. Definitely a downgrade from what it used to be. And finally burger fell apart and crumbled in my hands. read more

ordered a double burger, fries, onion rings, and chocolate Ice cream; I wanted to try everything! I think I only missed chili and pie so I had nearly everything on the menu. Fries are amazing-- it would be hard to mess them up; I don't particularly like fries, but I liked these! I ordered the double burger because I saw the patties before I ordered- pretty thin (like any fast food burger joint). The onion rings were great and the ice cream was similar to soft serve. Really enjoyed my meal here! read more

I would have granted 5 stars, but the bathroom door didn't lock so I opened up the door and showed the entire line a patron's business. However, the burger and malt were amazing...especially the burger. I had a single special with cheese, and it was gone before I knew it. The only lackluster part of the meal was the small chili, which was quite salty. I hadn't visited Wilson's since the mid 90's when we used to cruise 'the circuit' and devour fries and a frosted malt. I'm glad it was just as good as I remembered. read more

Can't beat a local burger ! This place was quick and good. It's your average burger joint with hot dogs or hamburgers maybe a couple other items too. Not really much to say, crave a burger, get in and get out. Boom. read more

6/28/17: I Love love love Wilson's. Cashier with freckles reminds me of the "No soul for you" woman on Seinfeld. She was very short with her customers & grumpy. Used to live in the area but moved to California. Enjoy eating here when we come back to the area. read more

I used to live in Findlay for a little while and was always told about how wonderful Wilson's was. While living there I never had a chance to go to this establishment. While I was there visiting I decided my children and I would eat here for lunch. We ordered our burgers and sides and drinks at the counter. The way it did not take long and everybody was very friendly. The food itself was good but nothing like the stories I have heard from all of the Findlay natives. I would definitely eat here again but it wasn't as amazing as everyone always said it was. read more

So first impressions when you walk in are interesting. Old style diner type environment, with old booths and stools with views onto the street outside. Was greeted by a very, let's say, 'in your face' type of girl, but I think she fit in the setting. I ordered a double burger, with onions and lettuce, and I have to say, it was delicious. Juicy, tender, thin cut meat, with just the right ratio of meat to bun. However, I'm going to have to take a star off for the fries. They were very soggy and full of grease, and were just not good fries. But to add to the positive, the service was very fast and I got my food in about 3 minutes. Overall, a great place to give a try with an old fashioned type of feeling. read more

The hamburgers are great as are the fries and onion rings. Food is five stars. Reason for the three stars is to average out the one star for service/friendlieness of staff. The staff is pretty rude and pushy here. Another drawback is they don't take plastic so remember your wallet and no refills on soft drinks. read more

The food is horrible and the way you are treated is even worse. I cannot believe this place.

Been coming here since I was a child. Not much has changed just by looking at it, or by the food we get. However, food gets made at a snail's pace and it doesn't seem that anyone is in a hurry to get things done. Old memories still live on, though. read more
