Food is good if they make it the way you ask I ordered super cheese with bacon lettuce, and extra extra sauce and order of cheese curds with ranch. They didn't do the extra extra sauce and because they have no inside service I couldn't walk up and get more. When it came time to pay, it was $18.53 for a burger side and a small drink. They charged me for the lettuce, the bacon and the ranch for the cheese curds I used to eat chips five days a week now with no inside service and crazy high prices once a year read more

Now strictly drive through, it appears from glancing through the windows that at one point one could walk inside and order at the counter and perhaps sit and savor the food. It looked really nice, inviting, warm. No more. I arrived, parked my car, walked to door and noted sign "drive through only." I then returned to and maneuvered car in what I thought was order line. A few minutes later an employee came to my car window, told me to drive to other side of building, where I placed my order. While waiting, I could see flames a couple feet high intermittently from the grill. So, flame grilled burger. I had driven over 100 miles from UP (Upper Peninsula) Michigan ski hill where multiple lift towers had "Chip's Hamburgers" decals high on chairlift towers. I ended up using bathroom at a gas station and, wanting to be out of car after two hours driving, eating on hood of car. As to the food, the burger was good, not great. I had a double cheeseburger. Tastes a little flame burned. One really nice point is the man handing me my order noticed my two dogs and gave me a couple dogs biscuits. I don't think I will return to this location. read more

Still drive-thru only. Prices are reasonable and the food is made to order. It is best to use cash due to card fees.

Had to go through Merrill to get to Green Bay, and this was our one food stop. I was initially skeptical 'cause it was honestly an obligation to visit at first (father-in-law's hometown), but it was sooooo much better than I thought it was going to be =D The immediate analogy I want to make: Chip's is like the West Coast's In-N-Out. Charbroiling burgers definitely tastes better, but it was just a good burger overall. My family actually had several to share, so it was several good burgers. LOL. Had it with onion rings, fried cheese curds and fries, and that's what I call an iconic Midwest lunch. read more

Drive through only. The flame broiled burger tastes a bit like a BK burger. Mine was freshly grilled. The fries are crinkle cut, which aren't my fave. The small fry is really small. read more

I like the food at chips. It is kind of a downer to see A&W open right across the street, now Chips seems empty all the time. Good food, good prices, friendly workers. Hope A&W doesn't impact ya too bad. read more

A place this good warrants a laconic, Ron Swanson-esque burger review: It's a real burger joint, done right, nice and old-school. You get a good, thin patty with lots of flavor, cooked on a properly seasoned griddle. If you like burgers and you're near Merrill, stop here. read more

Chip's Hamburgers - It's a burger, done correctly, delicious, vintage Americana. - Burgers Near Me - Merrill, Wisconsin

I love this place. I've been going there for years but to charge over $10 for a single hamburger is a little ridiculous. For a family of 3 you're talking 45+ dollars. You mine as well go to a sit down restaurant. read more

Chip's is a national treasure ranked just behind the 4th of July and mom's apple pie. Charbroiled with regular toppings on a good bun.

All time favorite since I've been a kid. Chips will never fail to deliver an as to be expected fire grilled burger! French fries are amazing! Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. I haven't ordered anything off the menu that I have not liked. read more

Absolutely the best shakes I have ever had, they never disappoint. They have a different approach on their cheese curds, but try are amazing and I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I love love love the Texas Jr burger. It's the BEST burger ever. I wish they were open all year.

5 of us stopped at Chips. There was about 6 cars in front of us, which the line went pretty quick. We all ordered burgers, fries, soda, and cheese curds. Some of our items had special instructions. They were quick with the order, they got our specialized items correct, and the price was very good. The cheese curds was my favorite! We took it to a park and ate it. We had a nice visit and we will be back again. read more

Sometimes I let other people pick where we eat while traveling and my husband's co-workers recommendation was a big hit. Tiny parking lot and dining area like others have mentioned. It is also freezing inside this place. I really enjoyed the Friday special burger it was like if a whopper and Big Mac had a baby. The size of the burger was perfect for a meal as well. No tiny beef patties here. The meal included a small fry I liked with a drink. This is a solid little burger place if you are in the area you should stop in. read more

Chips Hamburgers is a great place to go if you want a quick but delicious meal. I have never been upset with the quality of the food. It's a little on the pricey side but very delicious. read more

Chips is a great stop for a quick flame broiled burger. Love that their burgers are cooked right to order and their fries are the best.

Stopped here for a quick bite on our way back to Illinois from Arbor Vitae. Cheap prices, quick service. Didn't care for the hot dogs, but burgers and cheese curds were great. Would definitely stop by if I was in the area again. read more

I drove past and it smelled amazing and looked like my favorite kind of throwback! I read the reviews online. One of the other reviewers compared it to an upgrade on Burger King. My first thought was, that reviewer must not have any other point of reference for char grilled hamburgers. Wrong I was. From the flavor of the meat to the type of bun to the topping choices, it's EXACTLY like an upgraded Burger King. I mean, it's probably exactly what Burger King was 20 years ago before their quality started to go downhill. I had my mouth fixed for something similar to a burger from Kopp's in Milwaukee and was disappointed. But it really wasnt disappointing. Absolutely better than any of the fast food options in the area, affordable, quick, the staff (looking mostly like teenagers) was both nice and professional. I loved the throwback decor and hope they never change. If I had to guess, I'd say the patties either arent handmade or have been frozen. Something knocks them down from amazing. So dont drive out of your way expecting and exceptional burger. But if you're in the area and want a step up from fast food, here you go. read more

Chips typically provides tasty food,friendly customer service and relatively good prices. However my latest visit i found myself almost in shock. Once we pulled up and asked for 1 moment to decide what to order, maybe 45 seconds to a minute later we were told "you know there are other people who would like to order their food too!" (There was perhaps 2 cars behind us) At this point i said to my wife, just get our kid the kids meal and lets go. My wife apologized profusely which was met with "sure, okay" "whatever" which alone is enough to upset me but we pull around and pay for the kids meal then we left promptly but what we received was a half filled cup of chocolate milk, overly burnt fries and some cold chicken nuggets. Like seriously? read more

Fast and good! The burgers rock! The milk shakes were also awesome!! It has a diners vibes and good prices.

A gourmet burger it is not! But... for the price, you can't beat Chip's. Quick, efficient service, and a burger, fries, and soft drink with one refill for like $6 are features of this quaint, old-fashioned burger joint. All of the food is delicious, and to get anything better you have to go up to at least Culver's-level establishments and pay 2 to 4 dollars more. Friendly teenagers along with some more mature folks to keep an eye on things take your order and get the food prepared almost as fast as any actual chain fast-food place. Another reviewer mentioned Kopp's in the Milwaukee Area as a point of comparison. Kopp's burgers are bigger, but otherwise it's a fairly close comparison in style and substance. If you are camping at Council Grounds or otherwise cooling your heels in Merrill, a stop at Chip's followed by a stop at Briq's soft serve has to be on your list of activities! read more

They have the smallest hamburgers ever and I'm petty sure they are frozen from Walmart cooked when needed ewww never going back again

I love the family pack with fries. I call them ahead on my cell and use the drive thru. I remember when they turned the Chips Downtown Wausau was turned into a DISCO!!!! It's still funny!!! read more

I've always loved chips, ever since I was a kid. I'd stop in and get a cal burger with my dad or grandpa and some fries. Have always had my favorite fries and I loved looking out the windows as a kid. read more

Fantastic burgers (think Burger King but better)! Charbroiled right there so you have to wait a little bit for your order but it's so worth it! They have great crinkle fries, too. Very yummy. The burgers look tiny when they come out but they really were very filling. The soft serve is excellent, too, and the portions are very generous. There was a constant line around the building at the drive-thru and I can see why. This place is a gem! read more

Wouldn't go there again. Almost everything off the bun, more mustard than anything, the patty was smaller than the little slice of tomato. Not worth the wait. read more

Takes you back in time. Back to a time when unhealthy food wasn't mega-sized....much smaller burgers; or should I say--normal sized burgers. Living nearby this place is great during the summer; you can smell their grill from blocks away. Good fast food and decent chilli! read more

Meh. I'm not impressed at all. Kind of disappointed really. After all the great reviews on here, we were really looking forward to eating at chips. I had a brat and for all the claims of "best brat in the world", I couldn't have been more disappointed. It's like the scene in the movie Elf where he takes her to the place with "worlds best cup of coffee", and it's really just another crappy cup of coffee, except here it's a brat. Overcooked and not very flavorful, and my bun was thin and stale. My mom ordered a hamburger and it wasn't even the size of her palm. It was half cold too, and lacking flavor. The onion rings were great, but that's about it. The cheap prices seem nice, but the price is what you get, cheap. read more

Best fast food burgers around. Chips is truly a Merrill landmark. Great deals for every day of the week, it's highly recommended that you go here on your birthday too! read more

I thought the burgers would have been a little thicker but I was not disappointed with how these taste! Best burger I've had in a very long time. Will definitely be back! read more

I went to Chips a few days after they opened for the season. The service was friendly and cheerful. The burger was tasty and juicy. The French fries were delicious and plentiful. I could not say enough good things about the food, people and experience. Now, a little over a month later, a totally different experience. The staff was clearly wanting to be somewhere else today. Sullen, robotic and frankly quite sad. The burgers were over cooked, hard and dry. The fries were the only thing that resembled the quality of the first time through. I felt bad for the kids working there. Something was definitely wrong at their workplace today. Hope it returns to normal. 5 Stars the first time 1 Star the second time. read more

Good burgers very tasty. Not too big not too small. If you have a bigger appetite go for a double. I did not get any fries as I wasn't super hungry but they did look good. My wife got a baked potato said it was good. Prices are very fair for the portions you get. read more

Tiny burgers that taste like burned. The fish is alright, but you should skip this and get Culvers instead. read more

4-15-21 1pm. Marshfield location. I have had both my vaccinations but wear a mask for the safety of others in case I could be a carrier. I asked the girl at the window, don't you wear a mask for the safety of your customers? She said sometimes we do. Are you kidding me? I love their food but I am not going back until Covid is under control. read more

Haven't been here a while, but it's great food here. One of my favorite places to stop here in Merrill.

My friend and I were driving through on our way to Northern WI for the July 4th holiday and stumbled across this cute place. It was either Hardee's across the street or them. We decided to give the little guy a try. Fun looking place and the burgers were good. Solid and nicely executed. But Oomph. Alex, you need to learn to smile girl and welcome a customer to an establishment, especially when you are the first person we see. A sex robot has more personality than her. No smile when we entered. We said hello and no response. Gave us the dirtiest sour look. Sorry-not-sorry for being a guest that day. Only slight crack of personality was when my asked if the blue jay burger was made of out blue jays. Literally thought she was a mannequin. If you are the first face a guests sees and can't smile, greet or even say hello, go do something else. Or just hire a bunch of sex robots for Chips. read more

NEVER AGAIN!!! Worst customer service ever! They mess up on your food but still call you a liar (Even when you have the receipt) because he made it himself! They said they have too many liars that call about the food being messed up. So does that give them the right to call everyone a liar??!! I have been there before and the food isn't anything to brag about. I will never go back there again and when I told them I won't be returning they said good, don't come back. That's great customer service!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!! read more

We left the highway to check out Chips after reading all the rave reviews. The whole concept of Chips is pretty special. It's a throwback to pre McDonalds drive up hamburger joints in small town America. Loved the graphics on the signage and the whole barebones 50's architecture. Chips is a Merrill institution which was evidenced by the ring of cars around IT and an empty parking lot at the Hardee's across the street. We thought a burger place is best judged by its cheeseburgers and fries, so we each ordered exactly that. Absolutely nothing special about the burgers. It looked like the uniform patties that were on the grill came out of a box. The finished patties were small and tasted ordinary. it may be the best burger place in town, but those burgers are a C+ in the greater scheme of things. The fries were hot and crisp. There is absolutely no reason to avoid Chips, but if you don't already live in the vicinity I wouldn't recommend leaving the highway to get a burger. read more
