This old-school eatery dates all the way back to 1934, although it did undergo a brief retirement - à la Brett Favre in 2008. Al’s Hamburger Shop serves a fantastic mix of classic and specialty burgers, with many considering Al’s to be the best burger in Green BayAl’s Hamburger  Shop was reopened in its original location in Downtown Green Bay, under a ten-minute drive from Lambeau Field.

The new owner of Al’s Hamburger Shop, Michael Wirz, decided to hold a soft-reopening to family and friends a week before the restaurant's official opening to make sure that he had the recipes for the iconic burgers down pat. Michael was expecting this trial run to host around 20 people and to only last a few hours, but after word of Al’s reopening got out, the people of Green Bay were unable to contain their excitement and over 60 people filled the space. When Al’s officially reopened it did so with an expanded menu, with the old favorites being present and perfected. Getting the staples of Al’s original menu down pat wasn’t easy, but it was something that Michael knew was necessary. The locals love the new additions to the menu as well, with Michael creating new traditions with his fresh creations. His specialty burgers are now some of the most commonly ordered dishes at Al's Hamburger Shop! The Tailgate Burger, topped with fresh cheese curds and roasted jalapenos, is an absolute must-try! The 131 Special is another popular burger. Typically made with four ¼ lb. patties that are stacked high with your choice of cheese, the 131 Special is also available as a double – that’s right, with eight ¼ lb. patties!

Another welcome addition to the new and improved Al’s Hamburger Shop is its liquor license. Al’s proudly supports four different local brewers – Hinterland Brewery, Titletown Brewing Co., Badger State Brewing and Stillmank Brewing Co. Michael wanted to cater to everyone with his new and improved menu and we think that he hit the nail right on the “cheese-head”. Michael is the only individual outside of the Rank family - the family that originally founded Al’s Hamburger Shop - to own this iconic space and he is doing his part to ensure that their legacy lives on.
