Tom Wahl’s has been a family tradition for upstate New Yorkers since 1955. Customers have been known to travel great distances just to enjoy a juicy Wahlburger™, hot crispy fries, and a frosted mug or two of delicious handcrafted root beer.

Today, Tom Wahl’s still handcrafts the root beer in each store, the same as Tom’s first batch, now in eight upstate locations.

The reasons that Tom Wahl’s has thrived are numerous. No matter what, Tom would never cut back on the quality of the items he sold. Tom is not a man that would ever bring this up, but a huge reason the business grew year after year was Tom himself. He had the unique ability to surround himself with talented people that followed his lead in taking care of the business.

Using the methods and principles that Tom established, Tom Wahl’s still continues to provide a road map for success. Chosen by USA TODAY as the Best Burger Joint in New York State, Tom Wahl’s is everything you’re looking for in a “burger joint,” and more.
