ABOUT WAHLBURGERS

Founded by Mark Wahlberg, Donnie Wahlberg and Executive Chef Paul Wahlberg, Wahlburgers first debuted in October 2011. The subject of an A&E reality show, Wahlburgers offers a fun, casual and music-filled atmosphere where guests — like family — share great food, a few laughs and lots of love. While its walls celebrate the family's story through photos and words of the Wahlberg brothers' life journeys from Dorchester, Massachusetts, neighborhood kids to internationally recognized celebrities and a rising chef, the food at Wahlburgers takes center stage. Crafted and served with heartfelt hospitality, Wahlburgers' menu features a variety of gourmet burgers made with 100% Certified Angus Beef® finished with premium toppings served on a toasted brioche bun, house-made condiments and Parmesan Truffle Tots; additional signature items include the Crispy Chicken Ranch Sandwich, Crispy Bone-In Wings, Slider Flight, and Salted Caramel Shake. The restaurant also offers entrée salads, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Wahlburgers' full-service bar is also a popular gathering spot to enjoy delectable Adult Shakes, cocktails, wines and beers, including the signature Wahlbrewski - an unfiltered Pale Ale draft beer. Dedicated to giving back, Wahlburgers is active in every community it serves: The Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which raises and distributes funds to youth service and enrichment programs, was established in 2001 by Mark and Jim Wahlberg, who are lifelong members and advocates of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Open daily, Wahlburgers offers full-service dining, counter service, takeout, delivery and a full-service bar. For locations and more information, visit Wahlburgers.com.
