There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into a juicy burger, but they can be hit or miss. Some might look tempting, but when you take a bite, you find a dry, flavorless sandwich made with a frozen beef patty and soggy vegetables. There’s certainly no reason to suffer with a second-rate burger when we have an award-winning burger joint right here. Check out Wild Willy’s Burgers:
Welcome to Wild Willy’s Burgers! This neighborhood eatery has been around for 18 years, and it was recently named by Trip Advisor as the best burger in all of Maine. The restaurant also won in the New Hampshire category.
Google You’ll find this little gem at 765 U.S. Route 1, York, Me 03909.
Over the years, Wild Willy’s has grown to include four locations: York, ME; Rochester, NH; Worcester, MA; and Watertown, MA. This shop in York is the original though, and though its owners recently sold it and retired, the new owners are committed to keeping Wild Willy’s long-standing traditions and delicious burgers.
