The Butternut Cafe

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

Love stopping here when visiting. One of our favorites is fresh homemade bread with breakfast. We also order the fish fry. Great battered cod and love having a choice of potato. If you want small town cooking with love... be sure to stop on.

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!

What a cute place!!! The food was amazing. We went on Good Friday and they had yummy shrimp and fish fry. They even had gluten free pizza that was out of this world! The beer and wine selection was perfect. You can tell the owner truly cares about being omg good and fresh food to the town. He personally comes to everyone's table and makes you feel right at home. We waiting a bit longer than usual for our food but had a blast - will be back!!
