Bud Willman's Lunch

"One of the most delicious burgers I've ever eaten. Bud's is a Manitowoc institution and not many places like this around anymore! They make the food right in front of you and you can watch the magic happen at the bar. Truly an old fashioned experience. The burgers are absolutely exceptional, I can't describe it, you just have to order one. They are a little on the smaller side so order a double if you're really hungry. But I promise you it'll be worth it! Prices are reasonable given the current economic climate. An absolute must if you are in the area! Remember, they are cash only!"

"ETA you should order their French Toast ASAP bc it's really tasty ETA pix of their tasty Fresh Perch dinner with Hash Browns and their Fresh Lawyer with Potato Salad dinner! Yum! ETA Just tried their tasty Hot Beef Plate, California Burger, Cheese Curds and Fries with Gravy for the first time! Yum! ETA soups ETA tried their tasty French Toast for the first time and their Hash Browns are awesome, too! ETA more recent pix of their tasty food We love the tasty food and positive attitude of the employees and owners at Bud Willman's and will continue to work our way through their classic diner menu. It's entertaining and fascinating to watch them cook, too. So many great options for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

"Pretty good burger ordered the large but not that large. Service awesome!"

"Fantastic "onion smash burgers" kind of reminded me of that Oklahoma style. The chili Mac was delicious and the service and atmosphere are friendly, warm and welcoming. The only thing I would do differently is get a double burger instead of a single!! What a wonderful throw back style restaurant."

"This is an example of a local place getting a much higher rating on Google than they deserve. The food was meh at best."

"Love their burgers. They remind me of White Castle, but better. Cheap eats. Get dessert! The last time I ate here was with the old owners, 5+ years ago, but the food now is still delicious! Parking and seating could be better, but who cares when the food and service is superb! I hope yall never close, keep up the amazing work!"

"Bud Willman's is the definition of a small-town gem. Tara and Gar, the owners, are the kind of people who make you feel like an old friend the second you walk in--warm, funny, and totally on top of things. The food? Straight-up comfort. Think grandma's kitchen on a crisp fall night--hearty, homemade, and served with love. The vibe is super cozy with a bit of a retro twist, and whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout on your lunch break, it just hits the spot every time. The waitstaff is always friendly, and even the regulars feel like part of the charm. If you're craving something that tastes like a brisk night by the fire, this is where you want to be."
