Hamburgers are a dime a dozen. But good hamburgers? The juicy, greasy, melt in your mouth kind? Those are a rarity. It’s true when they say “they don’t make ’em like they used to.” But luckily for us, there is one place that has been around for over 100 years, serving delectable hamburgers in the same exact style as they did over a century ago. I’m talking about Pete’s Hamburger Stand in Prairie du Chien. Anyone familiar with Pete’s knows you’re probably going to fight a line. But it’s so worth it. Here’s what you need to know about this iconic hamburger stand.
