Tried this adorable venue for the very first time this past late March and had a pleasant experience, our boys definitely enjoyed themselves. The tree house-themed and obvious kid-friendly restaurant boasts a good all-around menu with some tasty grub and an emphasis on burgers. The limited southeast WI chain seems to be a great place for young kids' birthday parties, the atmosphere definitely calls for it. I live a just a few minutes south of the WI border in Beach Park in northeastern Lake Co but if ever in the area again, will most definitely treat the boys here again. I wish for decades of continued boomin' business for the owner(s).

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Georgie Porgie’s in Mount Pleasant is one of those places that feels like a mashup of Midwest classics in the best way. Walking in, it honestly felt like a cross between Kopp’s, Portillo’s, and a little bit of Fuddruckers. The rotating flavor forecasts and custard sundaes of the month definitely gave me Kopp’s vibes, the huge menu, old school music, and nostalgic decor felt straight out of Portillo’s, and the super family friendly setup with a literal tree house dining area and arcade corner screamed Fuddruckers energy. You can tell it is meant to be a fun night out for everyone. The burgers reminded me of what I grew up with on the North Shore of Chicago. Solid, classic, no nonsense Wisconsin style burgers. Nothing crazy gourmet, just done right. I’d give the burger a 7.2 overall. Good flavor, good portion, scratched the itch. The custard was really good too. Creamy, rich, exactly what you want after a burger. Not better than Kopp’s in my opinion, but still strong. I’d put it around an 8.2. What I did love was the option to grab pints of previous flavor of the day custards to take home. As someone who literally drives back from Wisconsin with coolers full of custard sometimes 😅 that was a great touch. Overall, Georgie Porgie’s is a super fun, classic Midwest burger and custard stop. Great for families, great for kids, and a solid nostalgia hit if you grew up around Chicagoland burger stands. Not the best burger or custard I’ve had, but a really enjoyable experience and definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

I like the creativity of this place a lot! Having the tree inside and the upstairs dining is very fun and was why I decided to come here in the first place. I think other restaurants should take notes! The service was also good, and the food wasn’t bad either. My burger and my partners burger were loaded up with a bit too much guacamole, but they were filling.
