“Growing up not too far from Foxwoods Resort Casino, it is a natural fit for our team, and we are excited to open a Wahlburgers at the property,” Mark Wahlberg was quoted as saying. “I personally am a fan of its Lake of Isles Golf course, and know that Foxwoods is a place Wahlburgers’ guests will also love to visit.”

Crafted by Chef Paul and served with heartfelt hospitality, the menu features a variety of fresh burgers and sandwiches, innovative entrée salads, tasty appetizers or “Wahlbites,” as well as vegetarian options. Wahlburgers' full-service bar will prove to be a popular gathering spot, offering an impressive selection of adult shakes, Wahlcoctions cocktails, wines and beers including its signature Wahlbrewski – an unfiltered Pale Ale.

"Bringing the Wahlburgers experience to Foxwoods Resort Casino is an exciting moment for our team," Paul Wahlberg, Executive Chef at Wahlburgers, was quoted as saying. “We look forward to bringing our made-from-scratch philosophy to the resort casino, and cannot wait to serve our amazing guests next year.”

The Wahlburgers’ announcement marks the third-newest addition to Foxwoods’ dining offerings since March.
