Slip, slurping away: The shake was so thick it barely budged

ROCHESTER - If you like a good cheeseburger, you're in for a treat when you go to Wild Willy's.
And it starts the moment you walk in the door. No waiting for a waitress.
You just talk to the cashiers, who are well versed in hamburgers-ology and the countless variations on a theme they prresent.
There's plenty of burgers to choose from but I kept it simple.
A three-ounce burger topped with mushrooms in a thick gravy and melted blue cheese, which I always get when I go to eat here.

A three-ounce mushroom burgers with blue cheese and yummy handcut fries.

Rylee, who is all about the french fries, was on a two-fold mission to eat all of the largest of the hand-cut fries and to separate her vanilla shake from its straw.
To be clear, I have never seen a shake as thick as the ones they serve up at Wild Willy's. Of course if you're from Massachusetts, you know this was not a shake, but a frappe, but whatever it is you call it, call it delicious.
Rylee finally asked me to prime the pump, cause she couldn't get any out.
It took all the sucking power I could muster, but I finally did get it going to her delight.
Amazed at the thickness, I lifted the plastic lid and tried to drink it. I then turned it almost upside down. Nothing budged. Now that's thick.
But back to the fries. They had a distinctive flavor that I can't put my finger on, but I did put my finger on plenty of 'em.
Be ready with an appetite when you go to Wild Willy's.
Cost for everything with tip, about $22.

They are located at 724 Columbus Ave., Rochester, NH
