red_Wilson's Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor has been located in the heart of Ephraim since 1906. A classic Door County landmark that possesses the enchantment to take the youngest visitors back in time with its old-fashioned soda fountain and ice cream specialties, home-brewed draft root beer, flame broiled burgers and juke boxes playing the classics.

During the last 118 years, Wilson's has grown in popularity with each succeeding generation of patrons. Year after year they return to Ephraim, making this their first stop for relaxation and refreshment, information and the exchange of friendly greetings. We look forward to taking a trip down memory lane with you on your next visit!

Wilson’s 2020!

As we progress into the fall season we are making adjustments to our services and hours due to limited staffing. Hours and services may vary from day to day. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Carryout Ice Cream

We are serving ice cream from the fountain inside.  When it is busy, there will be a hostess on the front porch handing out numbers and allowing a couple groups in at a time. If you are a larger group, please have no more than 2 people go in to order for everyone.  Our menu is available here and is also posted outside of the restaurant in 3 locations. Specialty sundaes are only available at the table.

If you would prefer not to come into the building, give us a call to place your order. Upon arrival please come to the front porch so we can take your payment and bring you your ice cream. Specialty sundaes and cones cannot be ordered over the phone. 920-854-2041

Carryout Food

You can order in person or over the phone. Our menu is available here and is also posted outside of the restaurant in 3 locations.

If you would prefer not to come into the building, give us a call to place your order. Upon arrival please come to the front porch so we can take your payment and bring you your food.  920-854-2041

Outside Dining

We have removed half of the tables from our patio so seating is socially distanced.  We’ve turned a corner of our parking lot into an additional seating area.  Depending on the day, there may be servers in both of these sections to wait on you and provide table service.  If there is not a server in one of these sections, you are welcome to eat your carryout items at these tables. Both of these sections are self-seating and available on a first come first served basis.

Inside Dining

We are using every other table inside so that seating is socially distanced. Please see the hostess for a table.

We are closed for the 2024 season, but you can get your
Wilson's gear all year long at: WilsonsIceCreamShop.com!
