What's the most unique diner in Wisconsin?

Is a diner located in the middle of a forest unique enough? Because that's something we have here in Wisconsin! Located in Bayfield County, the tiny town of Delta is home to about 300 residents and one of the state’s best destination restaurants – Delta Diner. Although it opened in 2003, the restaurant serves up some serious nostalgia, and that’s because it’s modeled after an authentic 1940s diner. What's most noteworthy about this restaurant, however, isn't its vintage charm, it's that it is located in the heart of the Chequamegon-Nicolet Forest. No, really. Many people visit on ATVs or on snowmobiles in the winter. You get the authentic diner experience in a truly unique setting! And since this article is all about burgers, the burgers from Delta Diner are downright delicious, but only served on Mondays! Craving a burger? So keep that in mind when planning a visit to this quaint little spot.

What's the best burger in Wisconsin?

We take our burgers seriously here in The Badger State, and our burgers are all pretty next level! Fred's in Burlington literally has a sign out front advertising the "World Best Burgers," and we don't disagree. Right from the start, Fred set out to create the world’s best burger. And it’s safe to say he succeeded, as the eatery churns out about 2,500 burgers a week! The secret to the burgers' success is that they’re made with meat that's ground fresh every morning and seasoned with a secret blend of spices. The buns are baked fresh, too. You can taste the difference; these burgers are phenomenal!

There are just some classic Wisconsin restaurants that every local is familiar with, whether they’ve eaten there or not.
