Customer Reviews
Wayne's Drive-in is the quintessential Americana, 1950s drive-in vibe. It features burgers, hot dogs, fries, tatted Tots, ice cream, mails and similar old-school drive-in treats. The inside seats about 30 people, the outside has a bunch of picnic tables for dining. All the tables are clean and well kept, by the attentive and courteous staff. The burgers we ordered are pretty good, ingredients are fresh. The tater tots are better than the French Fries in my opinion. The Choclate Malts are also good. I still rate the Night Owl Drive-in near the MKE airport as a bit better, but you'll enjoy Wayne's food, ice cream treats and 50s music, and the old nostalgic images in the dining area.
First thing - it's not a drive-in, so no clue why they call it that. Overall it was ok. It's a bit sad, to be honest because I wanted to like it more I had originally driven by and just thought it was a cool building. We went in for lunch.. and it's ok inside, they have the oldies playing. It has potential. Or maybe, it just used to be good. But our table had not been cleaned and was nasty. The food was mostly just OK. I would place it above fast food like McDs... but definitely not what I'd call a great burger joint. There seems to be a lot to choose from on the menu, but of course it all in the execution.
Wayne’s definitely serves my favorite hamburger (Al’s Hamburgers in Green Bay is a close rival, as they have a full pound burger on the menu). Usually I skip the bun, but since Wayne’s provides the legendary “Sheboygan Hard Roll” I go ahead and eat the bread w it. My process is to order a double cheese and add 2x patties and 2x cheese to make it a pound burger (totaling about $18) with one slice of cheese to accompany each beef patty. Hopefully the pound burger gets on the menu one day.
Super cute diner. Had Wayne’s steak sandwich with grilled onions. Daughter had chili cheese dog with cheese fries and a fudge sundae. Love the old sodas on the fountain machine.
First and last time here. I ordered the Wayne’s Steak sandwich….on the menu it clearly says it is a grilled sirloin steak. I asked if it was sliced or a full steak and I was told it was a full steak. So I asked for it to be cooked medium. The girl told the cook and the cook said “they’ll try” and when I got my “Steak sandwich” I completely understood why. It absolutely wasn’t a sirloin steak! It was made with cube steak!! Which for anyone who cooks is the same meat used to make chicken fried steak and is not sirloin at all. Trying to pass of cube steak as sirloin and then having customers pay $13.50 for that is ripping off your customers! Completely disrespectful! Pictures added for proof!
