Do you have a wild appetite and crave something that is as delicious as it is filling? While not every Colorado restaurant can check both of these boxes, there is one legendary eatery that comes to mind, which is the iconic and aptly named Wild Bill’s Restaurant:
Welcome to Wild Bill's, AKA, the longest continually owned-by-the-same person eatery (and business) in Leadville!
Established in 1982, Wild Bill's has a history as impressive as its menu, with humble beginnings as a small burger joint and local go-to for dinner and dessert that is now a full-blown destination for Leadville's many tourists.
Despite closing for a few years (due to the economy and other factors), Wild Bill's is back and better than ever, serving all of their menu favorites, including the famous, lip-smacking-good Belly Buster Burger!
In addition to the impressive burger menu (bacon guacamole, anyone?), Wild Bill's is also known for its sandwiches, baskets, appetizers, and other various entrees like chicken strips and shrimp.
What is a burger joint with classic diner food without ice cream and other sweet treats? Wild Bill's has those, too, including soft serve and shakes, plus banana splits, malts, sundaes, and other novelties.
