Milwaukee Wiener House's milkshakes, like this cherry one, are thick and delicious and the perfect accompaniment to their Coney Island hot dogs.  There is enough in the silver beaker to fill up three glasses worth.

Any restaurant that has a plaque on the wall as a tribute to a retired mustard stick is a Roadfood kind of place!

The menu board shows cute names for two of their hot dogs, the Bow-Wow and the Barker.

Our kind of tradition: eighty years in business, more than 10 million wieners sold.
