A small cafe in the middle of Wisconsin quietly has some of the best food in the country. And it's…read morebeen so consistent for years, I had to make another shout out. Their daily specials are generally inventive like Strawberry Rhubarb Fat French Toast, Pot Roast Omelette, Beet Panini, etc. They usually have equally interesting drink options such as the caramel apple latte, which was divine. They also are a full fledged bake shop, making all of their breads and cakes and pastries in house. All of it is worth checking out. Here's a place with a commitment to super high quality, better than average cafe fare, at a good price and friendly service. I always stop here whenever I go into upper WI to fish.

We arrived around 9 am on a Wednesday and it was very busy--they had already sold out of one of the breakfast specials. That said, we were still seated right away and had water and our chosen beverages in front of us in a jiffy (and my coffee was topped off regularly). Dawn was our server and she was very pleasant and helpful when I had a question about the menu. My guy had two blueberry pancakes with bacon, and I had biscuits & gravy with hash browns. The pancakes were fluffy and satisfying, and the biscuits & gravy were packed full of flavor. LFG's breakfast was delicious, and a great price!

Milty Wilty Drive-In is on the way out of town heading east, so we stopped there and placed an order to go. One kid got two hot dogs, the other got chicken strips and regular fries, my wife got a plain cheeseburger and regular fries, and I got a plain double cheeseburger with seasoned curly fries. She and I also split a grilled cheese. The regular fries have absolutely no salt or seasoning on them. Even with being straight out of the fryer they weren't the most crispy, so being bland too was very disappointing. The curly fries were preseasoned, so that couldn't be screwed up, yet I could oddly taste a hint of onion rings from them being fried in the same oil. Like the fries, the burgers were completely unseasoned. The double cheeseburger was maybe slightly bigger than a double cheeseburger from McDonald's, so I don't think it was worth the extra cost when size is similar and taste isn't as good. The grilled cheese had enough cheese to cover a single layer inside the sandwich with no thickness to it. It was better than the burgers, but that's not saying much. The kid with the hot dogs said they were "fine" and the kid with the chicken strips said they were "ok", neither of which are ringing endorsements. There were only two chicken strips in the basket and not a ton of fries. Maybe for a elementary school kid this would be enough, but for a 12 year old boy it wasn't.

Thankfully we decided to make a drive to Dauntless Soul and are glad we did. We had drip coffee, lattes and some baked goods. Items were priced affordably and good quality. Interesting teas, and mixed drinks. Staff were friendly and helpful and patient while I made selections. The decor was cute and relaxing although we didn't stay to enjoy. I hope this place does well! They had an ice water station which was nice. Oh, and they did have almond, oat, and coconut milk if that's important to you. I would gladly visit again if I was a local!

What a cool little diner…read more My grandma lives over in Kingston, right next door to Markesan, and I usually get up there (I live about an hour and a half away in Milwaukee) at least five or six times a year. Every time, no matter what, I make sure to stop at Sandy's. It's very old school inside (in a good way), and the atmosphere takes you back to a time when small-town diners were still a big part of a community. The service is always impeccable, the food is great, and the prices are so cheap compared to some other restaurants in the area, especially the overpriced places in Green Lake. The clientele is mostly locals on their lunch breaks or getting breakfast/dinner after finishing a shift at the factory in town, and they almost always strike up a conversation with my grandma and I and are very nice. Such a gem to have in Markesan and something I look forward to each visit.

The ladies' room was very clean and nicely decorated, as well. It was seat-yourself, and my party of 3 was able to get a table right away on a September Sunday morning. I imagine that in the summer, this place is a nice mix of local regulars and lake people. We were greeted right away and all of the staff were friendly and attentive. It looked like they were all hard at work, but also stopped to chat with people and greeted regulars warmly when they came in. I'm pretty sure that even Kelley T. herself came around to talk to us at one point! The food is amazing and is what you should expect from a down-home, Midwest, small town diner. We had breakfast and the portions were huge, affordable, and delicious. Even the plain toast was amazing! The request for crispy bacon was honored, and the pancakes were delicious! They have Pepsi products, including Diet Mountain Dew (which is always a plus for me!) , and sugar free syrup on request. There were also lots of baked goods and what looked like pie and dessert choices in the cooler and on the counter, which looked amazing but we didn't try this time. The whole experience was great! You could tell that everything is made with love. I can't wait to go back and try the lunch menu!
