When most people think of Wild River Brewing & Pizza, pizza is usually the first thing that comes to mind. During a recent visit, however, I decided to go in a different direction and ordered the BBQ Bacon Burger instead.
The first thing I noticed when it arrived was its size. This isn’t a small burger by any measure. It was stacked high, looked impressive, and delivered on that first impression.
The burger featured a juicy beef patty topped with crispy bacon and barbecue sauce, creating a smoky, savory combination that came together exceptionally well. Each bite was flavorful without being overwhelming, and the generous portion made it a satisfying choice from start to finish.
No burger is complete without a good side, so I paired it with Wild River’s pub fries. If you’ve had them before, you already know why they’ve earned such a loyal following. Crispy on the outside, well seasoned, and cooked just right, they complemented the burger without competing for attention.
Wild River has earned its reputation for pizza over the years, but this visit served as a reminder that the menu extends well beyond its signature pies. The BBQ Bacon Burger stands on its own as a worthwhile choice for anyone looking for something different without sacrificing quality.
If you’re stopping in for pizza, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. But if you’re in the mood for a burger instead, the BBQ Bacon Burger makes a convincing case for branching out from what Wild River is best known for.
