America's Best Hole-In-The-Wall Burger Joints

When someone says,

"Hole-in-the-Wal burger joint"

I think it's a safe bet that we all have a pretty similar image in our minds. It's not a fancy place, it's likely not in the busiest part of town, the establishment is pretty small, and the food is FANTASTIC.

I'm not wrong, am I?

The shack couldn't be any smaller, and the burgers, couldn't look any more delicious.

Where to go for the best burger in Wisconsin

Your trip to devour one of America's BEST 'hole-in-the-wall' burgers will take you to the small southern Wisconsin town of Jefferson, where the Rock River and Crawfish River meet.

Wedl's Hamburger Stand & Ice Cream Parlor

Wedl's is one of the oldest and smallest burger joints in America and as MSN reported, they really do take the 'hole-in-the-wall' thing to entirely new levels.

Wedl's closes up during the winter and in Jefferson, Wisconsin, and spring doesn't arrive until the little red shack opens for business.

Slider-style burgers, smashed and thin, with cheese, onions, and greasy. YES, PLEASE!

The Single, The Double, and The Triple Burger

Of course, Wedl's ice cream treats are also flippin' fantastic too. If you're looking for another reason it's great to be alive, feast your eyes on these.

This is Wisconsin, and in Wisconsin, there's always some good cheese and since this is a burger joint we're at, that cheese is deep-fried.

These might be the largest cheese curds I've ever seen.
