Order Some Of The Best Burgers In Illinois At Wally's Drive-In, A Ramshackle Hamburger Stand

Fine dining certainly has its time and place. But we all have those days when nothing but a big, hearty, classic burger will do. When that craving strikes, hop in the car and head straight to Wally’s Drive-In in the small city of Breese. This timeless burger stand serves some of the most scrumptious burgers in the state.

It was founded by Wally Knue, and while ownership has changed hands (all within the same family) several times, it still maintains its original 1950s charms. In fact, Wally Knue is now in his 90s, but you still might see him flipping burgers now and then.

You can grab lunch to-go or stay and enjoy it at one of the outdoor tables.

The burgers are cooked on a standard flat-top grill with metal spatulas, the old-fashioned way.
