Wampach’s Restaurant is located in the downtown area, the old part of Shakopee. Wampach’s was opened in the late 1950s by Jerry Wampach. Shakopee has seen many changes since that time but not so many changes here at Wampach’s. Quite often we hear things like… ​

– “my mom & dad used to bring me here as a kid” – “our first date was at Wampachs” – “we always stopped at Wampachs on our way to Minneapolis from southern Minnesota” – “do you still have those delicious onion rings?” (yes, we do)

After Jerry Wampach’s sale of the restaurant in the 70’s, the next four owners have tried to keep Wampach’s a small-town diner, in what is no longer a small town. We still make our own soups, gravies, daily specials, and desserts. The menu is very similar to the first ones. No one really wants a Braunschweiger sandwich anymore but for some unknown reason they do still want liver. ​

These times are hard with the recent pandemic and the ever-changing restaurant business. We would like to thank everyone in the community and all of our customers for continuing to support us and we will do our best to keep everything the same! Thanks for checking us out! Nelson & Lois

The kitchen runs on care and real ingredients. From homemade soups and rich gravy to signature items like the Happy Sandwich and Country Fried Steak with two eggs, every dish reflects years of experience and love for the craft. The food is simple, honest, and made fresh daily—just like it’s always been.
