    Lunchtime at The Driftless cafe will not disappoint. Always friendly and a relaxing place to go in Viroqua. And the food is awesome.

    Creamy Tuscan beef soup

    Came back to visit family in Viroqua WI. Great small town restaurant. They have a small lunch menu with a focus on local products and ingredients. The creamy Tuscan beef was delicious. Large local salad with lemon peppercorn dressing was fresh. The Driftless Cafe double cheeseburger is a must if your a burger fan. Got a huge slice of pizza for $5.00, also very tasty.

    (visited 2025.05.10) soooo tasty! the duck was some of the best I've ever had. scallops were nice and soft, and for dessert, one must try the panna cotta! nice atmosphere--a more casual atmosphere with high-quality food.

    Never disappoints!! Brought some friends who are from the area but didn't know about this little treasure lol They are now on the bandwagon (as we are) for the Driftless Cafe. Such an incredible find in this little town! Fabulous evening with friends Service is always friendly and welcoming, very welcoming not in the least pretentious even though their food is on par with the best snooty places! Hahaha! Atmosphere is relaxed and unassuming then the food comes out and you're just blown away. Every time.

    Yup. It's as good as they say. Well worth the drive. You can tell the food is made with love. My pork dish was divine (and huge!). Service was friendly and patient. The overall vibe of this place is very casual, Which I welcome. Establishments of great food don't need to be stuffy!

    Passing through the area, stopped for lunch and pleasantly surprised by the Driftless Cafe! The outside is understated but as you walk in, the cafe half is a beautiful interior full of sunlight. Food is entirely sourced locally and they proudly list from who on the wall. The cute paintings on the walls are also for sale for anyone interested. There's at least one real tree inside but I believe it's just for show... Food is a delicious slice of Americana as everything is made fresh with love. You're in Wisconsin so obviously I needed something with cheese (mac and cheese). Fish and chips was served with a local twist using nearby walleye, and a simple side salad finished it off. Special shout out to the sweet potato creme brulee. Great place to recharge in the Driftless Valley if you're in the area!

    After several excellent visits, this one was not. The room was extremely hot and the pizza under cooked.

    I had a good salad, but it wasn't anything special, and a bit overpriced. The service was very good.

    Aldo's serves one of the most amazing breakfast buffets! The first thing I noticed was the coffee…read moreand they nailed it, a good cup of coffee. When it comes to breakfast, I like mine simple and basic. Scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, English muffin or toast. There may be other offerings, but this is my go to/comfort zone. I at first wasn't going to get the buffet, but when I noticed how they made sure the offerings were always fresh and not just sitting on a warmers, I decided to give it a try. Everything was hot and fresh! The scrambled eggs were not lifeless and flat, for lack of better words they were fluffy. The hash browns were amazing too. I'm going to skip over to the breakfast sausages and bacon. Truly Amazing, the best I've ever had. I must admit that I did return to the buffet for an additional serving of both. It took much self control not to keep returning and continue grazing on sausage links and bacon. I would highly recommend the breakfast buffet and wish you luck on portion control.

    Utterly fantastic food. While the restaurant caters to resort guests, it is possible for locals…read moreand visitors to get a reservation. We chose 5:00 on a Friday thinking they wouldn't be too busy yet, and there were plenty of tables available. My wife and I had the same thing, a glass of Malbec, the chopped salads, the pork shank with mashed potatoes and crispy Brussels sprouts, and the cast iron cookie with ice cream. Everything was delicious, and very plentiful. Service too was outstanding. Absolutely the finest restaurant in the Wisconsin Rapids area. We enjoy The Dirty Oar and the supper clubs, but Aldo's food is far superior.
