    Fantastic breakfast!

    Everything about this place is great! The service was fun and prompt. The food was delicious and ample. A total winner!

    Delicious, homemade pizza at the Butternut Cafe!

    THE BEST SPOT TO EAT IN WISCONSIN! The Butternut Cafe has an extensive breakfast menu full of delicious choices. My favorites were the pancakes and the "Toad in a hole" where the chef makes a fried egg in the middle of a buttered piece of toast. Veterans drink coffee for free. Stick around for a lunch and get the soon to be famous "Mighty Midget Burger" along with a malt or shake. The burger has a patty that is filled with cheese, onions, and whatever else you want. All the food is handmade and a lot of the meat comes from local farms. Pizzas in the evening are the best. All the pizzas are made from scratch any way you like. I recommend the sausage and mushroom pizza. The owners are locals who also work at the cafe. They have created a down to earth, friendly establishment where everyone is on a first name basis. If you are ever anywhere near Butternut, make sure to stop here at least once!

    Seriously good food at The Butternut Cafe. Tonight's Friday Fish Fry classic Fish & Chips featured a beautifully battered and fried piece of cod. Malt vinegar on the tables. Tartar sauce on point. Tangy cold coleslaw. Wash it all down with a Miller High Life and it's the perfect father/daughter vacation dinner date! Breakfasts are great here as well and the pizzas are superb - and that's coming from someone who eats a NYC slice at least once a week! Definitely making a trip back for a delicious meaty cheesy burger treat before I have to leave Butternut. Thanks to the Van Ordens and their awesome staff for a wonderful time as always!

    Worst service. When we walked in we were not acknowledged. Food took forever to prepare.

    Food is good if they make it the way you ask I ordered super…read morecheese with bacon lettuce, and extra extra sauce and order of cheese curds with ranch. They didn't do the extra extra sauce and because they have no inside service I couldn't walk up and get more. When it came time to pay, it was $18.53 for a burger side and a small drink. They charged me for the lettuce, the bacon and the ranch for the cheese curds I used to eat chips five days a week now with no inside service and crazy high prices once a year

    Now strictly drive through, it appears from glancing through the windows that at one point one…read morecould walk inside and order at the counter and perhaps sit and savor the food. It looked really nice, inviting, warm. No more. I arrived, parked my car, walked to door and noted sign "drive through only." I then returned to and maneuvered car in what I thought was order line. A few minutes later an employee came to my car window, told me to drive to other side of building, where I placed my order. While waiting, I could see flames a couple feet high intermittently from the grill. So, flame grilled burger. I had driven over 100 miles from UP (Upper Peninsula) Michigan ski hill where multiple lift towers had "Chip's Hamburgers" decals high on chairlift towers. I ended up using bathroom at a gas station and, wanting to be out of car after two hours driving, eating on hood of car. As to the food, the burger was good, not great. I had a double cheeseburger. Tastes a little flame burned. One really nice point is the man handing me my order noticed my two dogs and gave me a couple dogs biscuits. I don't think I will return to this location.
