With this review I will have done both. I cannot emphasize enough what a rare gem for food this is, there really isn't much like it in the area. I have been coming for lunch and dinner for years and have not been disappointed. The menus are constantly evolving but always feature fresh top shelf ingredients. Today I had a pork belly sandwich that was kind of like a club sammy but so delicious. Steph had the tacos of the day that were amazing. Both dishes were lavish and presented beautifully.

Clean restaurant with vibrant decor and comfortable seating. Our server got us beverages and took…read moreour order right away, and the kitchen prepared our meals in just the right amount of time so that we could "enjoy" our chips, salsa and cheese dip. The enjoy in quotations is because what would have been a five star experience was knocked down due to the chips and salsa. The salsa was blah but still bordered on overly sweet, and the chips were funky. I mean they were so funkadelic that they tainted our enjoyment of the cheese sauce, and by all that is holy in the Cheesehead state, you don't detract from cheesy deliciousness with sketchy chips. So Mexico Grill & Bar, fix that flaw. Now, I had the Azteca Special and my husband went with the Burrito Fiesta. Both had the right perfection of flavor and were decimated: no to-go boxes needed. My husband also had fried ice cream for dessert. It's been years since he's had a proper fried ice cream that's actually deep fried that he almost cried with delight when they brought it to him. He devoured it in no time.

This places caters to the local community with its walls filled with artwork you can buy. And the old school tables and chairs from the 60s or 70s this place knows its way into any mans heart is through their stomach. Our wait time was told to be 20 minutes but we were the next to be sat down. Even though it was busy they still got to us and got our food out to us faster than other places I have been to. If you're looking for some good food and great atmosphere try this place out it might just give you a glimpse of what it was like growing up in the 60s. Great job all of you at Little fat Gretchens every time we go there they have shown us all whats its like it eat at the best

For a latte, we went with two shot 12 oz, with the milk held down about 3/4 inch. The result is a perfect latte. Rich and robust, the flavor of the roast is striking. I'm not sure why anyone would add a flavor to this delicious caffeinated beverage, but then that's just me. I like the old jazz coming from the speakers as opposed to some of the crap thrust upon us at other places.

Stopped by this small-town coffee shop while passing through the area. The atmosphere was quiet and…read morelow-key, which suited us fine. Staff weren't overly welcoming or chatty--no carried conversation or small talk--but they were polite and friendly enough. If you're looking for warm, high-energy service, this might not be the spot, but if you're okay with a more reserved vibe, it works. There was a bit of a wait for our drinks, which felt a little long considering we were the only customers being helped at the time. That said, the quality of the drinks made up for it. I had the lavender lemonade--super refreshing and light. My partner tried the orange cream chai and really enjoyed the flavor balance. Both drinks were thoughtfully made and tasty. That said, if I were in the area again, there's another local coffee shop I'd likely choose first--it had a more welcoming atmosphere and a similar drink quality. Still, this spot was a pleasant stop with creative options and might be just right for someone seeking a quieter, more laid-back experience.

I could have easily purchased more items than I did ($85), but I have to fly home and I can't pack everything I wanted! Then we went to get lunch. My mom and I both had a blt. She had a hot mocha latte and I had the grasshopper mocha iced. Everything was really good! With both of us getting chips, our bill was just under $50. I would get everything again. Gift shop, restaurant area and restrooms were kept clean. Then we went out back to walk along the water and see the covered bridge and chapel. Most everything was kept nice outside, too, but I was disappointed on the clumps of cobwebs and dust on the chapel and the dirty and cobwebbed windows on the outside. It wouldn't take much to wipe those items down. If I'm in the area, I would definitely stop in again!

I get it Waupaca - you are being directed from corporate to minimize portion sizes and cut corners where you can. Your $7 chicken strip meal deal looks nothing like the advertised t.v. commercial.

The french fries I got with my meal deal were cold and the corner pub-height table we sat at was cleaned...courtesy of my wife and myself.
