An absolute staple of downtown Wilmette that never disappoints. Been coming here for nearly 20 years, and the Bomber is just as good as now as it was when I was in middle school. I always make a point to stop in when I’m visiting family in town, and without fail I’m greeted with a smile and a “great to see you again.”

The Chuck Wagon is a little place in downtown Wilmette I have been eating at since I was a child.It was great to have lunch here today!! Brought back so many good memories!!! We enjoyed burgers and fries and great people!

What a great spot. In town for a few weeks working. Have stopped in here 3 times in 2weeks to eat. Make sure you try the Niki or the Waitress Special. The Niki is A Cheeseburger with Gyro meat on top. The Waitress is a grilled Cheese with Gyro meat on top. And of course the Gyros are amazing!!! Definitely drop in and take a seat and enjoy the atmosphere, the food, and the company. Tony is a master with his Carousel of meat. Try the local hot sauce also.

Holy crap. This is such an absolute gem of a dive. The double cheeseburger (with everything) was the best I’ve had in a long while. The chicken strips were phenomenal. And you couldn’t ask for a better feel in such a small space. The walls are plastered with history and homages. 10/10, can’t wait to come back.

Brayden said we were going to McDonald’s And when I got out of the car and saw this place I promptly pointed out that it wasn’t a McDonalds but we ate there anyway and omg it was so good, the food was pretty pricey like 7 dollar burgers but so worth it. Some of the best diner food I’ve ever ate and the guy working was awesome, amazingly nice guy and took the experience from a 10/10 to a 11/10. In total we got a hotdog, onion rings, two fries, 3 burgers, a gyro, a Nutella milk shake, and the bomber which is like a gyro sandwich with some toppings. The food was simple but delicious.
