It all started with William Krekel in 1949 and our signature sandwich .. the Krekel Burger. Our burgers, paired with our handmade shakes and fries are a combination not to be matched elsewhere. Today, thousands gather at any of the seven Krekel's locations in Central Illinois for burgers fries and shakes reminiscent of years past, a simpler time. Fresh never frozen, ground beef smashed onto a sizzling hot griddle; hand made shakes in 16 flavors, chili made daily with our own special meat and piping hot fries are the staples that have made Krekel's a Central Illinois tradition.
