Portage Cafe

It's the kind of place I look for when I want a good breakfast. The waitress was a riot and the food was good. Reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere was just what we wanted.

No frills diner-style food, I had the steak and eggs and they make it all to order right over the counter! Great service, very sweet lady helped me out (it was my first and only time in Portage, everyone else seemed like a regular and had good conversations with the workers there). Homey place and the prices are great too compared to Madison or other larger cities in Wisconsin.

Fun staff and delicious food. We stopped in for a quick bite and was happy to see I could get a half portion of biscuits and gravy. Hub loved his omelette. Definitely worth a stop.

Very friendly service. I love that I can see the cook prepare my food. Clean restaurant and good food.

One great cook, one fabulous waitress, and one dish/bus person keep this small but Elvis oriented restaurant on its feet. The food is good and very reasonably priced. Be prepared to be patient, but the wait is worth it. From 6 am to 2 pm, in the booths or at the counter, they serve breakfast and lunch, with the waitress providing very entertaining commentary! I will be back.

Biscuits and Gravy was so rich and delicious. I was not surprised when we learned it's made from scratch daily. Omelettes are made properly with each ingredient neatly displayed on top for garnish to identify the contents. Coffee is weakish but typical for a diner. Be patient as there is one cook but you get to watch her hustle with expert skill. Any wait you experience is rewarded with an exceptional Wisconsin diner meal.

On our way through town and decided to try this nice little place in place of our regular Qwik Trip sandwich. Glad we did. We both had the special, two eggs to order, meat of choice, hash browns and either pan cakes or french toast.Portions would make my Cardiologist happy! And the food and service was excellent.Restrooms are clean and parking is on street or by the sign inside, in a lot behind restaurant. Definitely a must try.

Good option instead of fast food and I was ordering lunch for my husband, my brother, and myself. We placed our orderVia doordash and the whole experience was good! They closed 1pm and I places our order at noon so they were out of the meatloaf sandwiches. Someone from the cafe called me right away once I placed my order for the food and asked me if we wanted to ordere something else instead. They both ordered BLTs and I ordered the turkey sandwich also some cheese curds. The food was good! Expected nothing less!

You will come here and you will like this review because you will really like the food. Also, you will be surprised at how little you spent.We stopped in on our way to Granite Peak (they are the same exit as Cascade Mountain). Cute "old fashioned" diner with barstool seats and booths; a picture on the wall showed the same interior back to 1955. They have large dividers between each booth, which was nice. The waitress was very attentive and she was very quick. The owner, Steve, is on the grill and you can tell he knows his away around a grill. The prices are great, most items are under $10.I ordered Steve's Meatloaf Sandwich, a generous cut of meatloaf, grilled onions, on marbled rye bread; it was amazing. I kept thinking about the the rest of the afternoon. We just got the chips with our meal and they were fresh. My wife got the Reuben; it was great. This was not a Reuben where you took a bit and got a chunk of meat, you bite through and it was TENDER. My son got the bacon cheeseburger and couldn't put it down; he ate it non-stop and said it was one of the best he ever had.This place is no frills but the food is memorable!

Great food and service. If you are looking for a great breakfast, burger, or lunch. This is the place to go. Our home town cafe.
