Suzette

Ringing in the new year with a delicious junker plate and a root beer float. From the tasty, satisfying food to the friendly employees Tom Wahl’s is our favorite fast food.

Josh Kline

I messed up my order by accident picking a gluten free bun. The manager made me another burger even tho it was my mistake. Great customer service.

Dawn Braren

Really been wanting fish fry. Ordered online and picked up wow , quick , good and honestly the best fries. Not over salted, crispy outside tender inside. Big meal too . To much for one dinner for me.

Katelynn Mistico

Ordering the food was easy, I liked that they had self-serve ketchup and things. The food was really good, I got the haddock fish dinner and the servings were large. Maybe I should’ve gotten a mini because I ended up having lots of leftovers lol. Fries tasted so good and they were big! Will be going again :)

Emily Bryant

A favorite in our household. Quick service. Much better alternative than the fast food in the area after a game night for us.

Lance Evans

Always a good place to eat at. The food and staff are wonderful.

Very good rootbeer. If you ask for condiments on your burger, they load them on !

Tom Wahls makes the best burgers. No joke, I live in another state and every time I visit a place with Tom Wahls, I make it a point to stop. This makes it three days in a row on this trip I've had a burger at Tom Wahls. And the amazing root beer in a frosted mug is the best! I've tried many types of expensive gourmet root beers and brewed root beers and nothing beats Tom Wahls root beer. I really wish they'd open a franchise out in the west. Don't forget to check their website for coupons! They have one for buy one burger get a free one for this whole year, when I checked today. Edit: Came back on another trip. Up to about 5 burgers in a week this trip. Still the best burger place and I've been to quite a few out west.

Eat here, the local burger joint. Classy, local 50's decor, clean and upbeat friendly staff. Old high school sports team photos, a jukebox and a big open seating area. All this, and the burger-n-fries is good eats.

Nicholas Smith

The garbage plate was good and very filling. The place was as clean as it could be for NY in winter. I would recommend, if you very hungry and need something quick.

Amber May Sanderson

Adorable set up. Paid $20 per person. Called to order. A very nice gentleman handled my rude demeanor calmly. Ready for pick up in less than 10 mins. Very clean and quiet place to eat. Definitely would recommend

Adam Lynch

Fast service, limited menu but very reasonable for a family

Gary Wurstner

Pretty large "hamburger stand", with a bit of a 50's vibe. Lots of pictures of the original location and crew. The Wahlburger was a little greasy, but tasted very good. The fish sandwich was good and way to large for the roll.

Aesthetic: 5 stars Food: 2.5 stars We used to love this place when we lived in the area and recently visited for the first time in 4 years. The food definitely tasted different (the burgers seemed a different consistency, they were soggy and had to be eaten with utensils because of it, everything was more bland especially the Mac salad) but we’ll chalk it up to a fluke and try again someday. Husband said the root beer was still 10/10. Still an extremely aesthetically pleasing place to eat for that retro vibe.

Kimberly Kolb

Food was exactly how i ordered it tasted great hot & fresh only reason they didn't get a 5 star is because the manager talking to employees was annoying & negative in ftont of about 8 people waiting for food there's just things you don't say in front of customers POSITIVE VIBES ARE KEY

Chris Savage

Tom Wahl's reminds me of SmashBurger...just a little. Good burgers and fries. Service here is good. The Zweigles are interesting. Finally tried them recently. Hearty hot dogs! Shakes are okay.

Shelby Shultz

First time visit. Awesome dining atmosphere. Prices for basically fast food were a bit steep. We spent $40 on 2 happy hour floats, a garbage plate, and a fish dinner. (Neither meal came with a drink might I add.) I don't think we will be visiting again. Food was hot and fresh but okay at best.

Thea Green

The food is nothing special. People were nice and the place pretty clean.

Michelle McAllister

The food wasn't bad but it was kind of expensive for what you got. The restaurant was a cute retro diner. When asked if the burger he ordered had tomato on it, the server gave my husband an attitude and kind of rolled her eyes. The homemade root beer was cloyingly sweet.

Dave Kidd

Way overpriced. The burgers were bland. The bun was pretty good though. The fries were bland as well. Asked for lettuce and pickles on the burger, didn't get any of that. Got a $2 root beer float because it was happy hour and that was really good and big. If I had to pay full price I wouldn't have got it. Doubt I'll ever be back, the food just wasn't that good for the price they charge.

Jason Thomas

They give you a crap ton of fries and a thin burger that’s 75% bun and sauce and barely seasoned. The root beer is amazing, so I will give them that. This place is way over priced though. It cost $90 for the five of us to eat dinner there tonight. Not worth it at all!

Ridge Jackson

Burger was very cold, not enjoyable at all ask for cheese fries which had to be accommodated for because they only make chili chess fries. When they gave me the fries was sprinkled with barely any cheese and I asked about cheese sauce and wasn't told there wasn't any cheese sauce.
