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!

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.

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.

I had a small company meeting/meal here today. Food was amazing, the environment is cozy and the staff offered phenomenal service. Good enough for me to leave a review which is saying something!

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!

Wow! What a great experience, went specifically for burgers and they did not disappoint. Out of the 3 ordered, the best was the classic cheeseburger and I would order that everyday. It was well worth the drive and I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in the area. Great diner experience!

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

Absolutely amazing food!!!!! Buns are uncut, fresh, and so fluffy. Burgers are smash burgers and worth every mouth watering bite. One of those places you might miss when you drive by but worth the stop. More people should eat there. Definitely be back!!!
