    Waupaca,WI. I have been walking by Sulten Belly for at…read moreleast a year, not aware of the good things going on in there. There is some special food to be had in this part of Wisconsin, I am a huge fan of the Green Fountain Inn and the Secret Garden just a few blocks away, and now Sulten Belly. We were greeted as we entered and given some clarity of the process so there was no confusion. I liked that we found a seat and took our time with the menu before I went to the ordering station, ordered, paid, and received a number for the table. I'm not exactly pleased with the modern method of tipping before you even see the food, but I paid cash so I could add more to the tip jar if deserved. Oh yeah, if you pay by card they tack on 4%. Bring your cash, they discourage cards. Where I live (Laguna Beach, CA) , some restaurants are the other way. They are not accepting cash and only take alternate card or digital payments. I ordered Mr. Beefy, a delicious smoked beef tenderloin panini sandwich with melted provolone cheese that really hit the spot. The beef tasted like it had been braised in wine, just wonderful for $16.50. Also excellent was the Sulten Belly Favorite Salad that was with assorted fresh greens and bacon, $13.50. The staff here were all friendly and helpful. It was a nice cozy vibe without the bright lights. I will be back. They also have premade frozen dishes available that look pretty good.

    How does one define "best"? Would I need to try every single eatery in a geographic area to base my…read moreassumptions on? While I can't confidently say this is the best joint in Wisconsin, it certainly has to be up there insofar as central Wisconsin establishments. The lasagna, being so meaty, hearty and flavorful you'd swear it came from an authentic Italian hole-in-the-wall. The pulled pork (drenched in their bbq sauce) just shines as bright as any respectful bbq place. The barbecue pastrami sandwich (go figure), was pretty insane, too. No, I haven't been to every supper club or obscure restaurant in Central Wisconsin. But having frequented "up north Wisconsin" (family owns a lake house up there) since I was 5 years old, not once could I remember a place that I felt had better food. Whenever I make the trek up from Illinois, I always stop in, as well as grab one of their frozen lasagnas or bbq chili bowls to go. That's saying something.

    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!

    We're traveling to Green Bay and needed a quick lunch near Wisconsin Rapids. We saw Culver's. We'll…read moreknown and good burgers and fries...but my trusted dining companion, Yelp, told me about a little diner, open only until 2:00 p.m. called Misty's Menu, so we headed there for a burger, fries, and soup. My wife ordered homemade beef noodle soup (delicious). My 1/3 lb hand-pattied burger was served on a perfectly toasted potato bun which was bakery fresh! I'm very particular about fries. These were nearly perfect. Crinkle-cut, crispy, and thank heaven's not coated! Coated fries are the lazy diner's way of adding crispness to fries. Simply change your fryer oil frequently and you'll get crisp, delicious fries - like Misty's! My cup of chili contained elbow pasta but lacked salt in my opinion. My table shaker fixed that and I enjoyed the small sample of their homemade chili. Our server, Harmony, was prompt, well trained, friendly and attentive. She displayed a good sense of humor and connected with us. So, no offense to Culver's but our $17.97 meal was fast, fresh, and served with a smile! So its Culver's No, Misty's Yes in my opinion! Give this place a try for breakfast or lunch.

    There's something off with the espresso. Either it's old & low quality, not the right grind and/or…read morethe machine needs a clean. I had a latte, and it had this mouth feel like it was coating my tongue and just tasted of bitterness. I looked on my visor mirror and sure enough, it left a brown coating on my tongue. Very unpleasant. That and the soggy paper straw. The paninis are good. Salads fresh and that maple vinaigrette perfectly balanced. The pizza however. F for effort there. The sauce is too sweet and right out of the can. You can taste the can on it. I really wanted to love this place, but for a panini and a side salad, I just can't, when all I wanna do is go home and scrub my tongue

    Iola, WI. Perhaps an OK place for lunch, but apparently the…read morefocus is on gelato for children. The flavors are bright and shiny and have names like "Cookie Dough". I have had a few flavors in the past that had names like "Coffee". The more grown up flavors were quite tasty but not to be had on this trip. The real reason for our return here was for lunch. We ordered a Hawaiian (Pineapple and Ham) sandwich, a Reuben, and a turkey pesto sandwich. Our waitress was timid and not forthcoming with information. She took our order and our food was ready 30 minutes later. Our small group was the only table being served, another table had already been served. I was getting hungry during that wait and was surprised at the miniature sandwiches that arrived. My Reuben was supposed to be on rye but was served with one of those fluffy two toned breads that have no taste. The sandwich tasted very good, just not enough of it. The sauerkraut was in there but had no distinctive taste at all.My mother liked her Hawaiian sandwich, the size was good for her. My sisters turkey pesto was good but "That's About All". "Too Small" she added. So our waitress completely disappeared after dropping off our dishes. Apparently she doesn't bring the check to the table here, you go to the register. My mother wanted a refill on her coffee so we had to track her down. It took her 15 minutes to refill the coffee. But it wasn't a refill per se. She brought out a new cup! When I paid the bill I was astounded that she charged me for two cups at three dollars each. So here is my brief summation of this place: Food tastes OK. No refills on coffee. Pay at the register, not at the table. Kids meal sized portions. Candy flavored gelato. The vacuous atmosphere of a failing business (OK Maybe That's Too Harsh? Just Seemed Like It).
