Waupaca,WI. I have been walking by Sulten Belly for at…read moreleast a year, not aware of the good things going on in there. There is some special food to be had in this part of Wisconsin, I am a huge fan of the Green Fountain Inn and the Secret Garden just a few blocks away, and now Sulten Belly. We were greeted as we entered and given some clarity of the process so there was no confusion. I liked that we found a seat and took our time with the menu before I went to the ordering station, ordered, paid, and received a number for the table. I'm not exactly pleased with the modern method of tipping before you even see the food, but I paid cash so I could add more to the tip jar if deserved. Oh yeah, if you pay by card they tack on 4%. Bring your cash, they discourage cards. Where I live (Laguna Beach, CA) , some restaurants are the other way. They are not accepting cash and only take alternate card or digital payments. I ordered Mr. Beefy, a delicious smoked beef tenderloin panini sandwich with melted provolone cheese that really hit the spot. The beef tasted like it had been braised in wine, just wonderful for $16.50. Also excellent was the Sulten Belly Favorite Salad that was with assorted fresh greens and bacon, $13.50. The staff here were all friendly and helpful. It was a nice cozy vibe without the bright lights. I will be back. They also have premade frozen dishes available that look pretty good.

How does one define "best"? Would I need to try every single eatery in a geographic area to base my…read moreassumptions on? While I can't confidently say this is the best joint in Wisconsin, it certainly has to be up there insofar as central Wisconsin establishments. The lasagna, being so meaty, hearty and flavorful you'd swear it came from an authentic Italian hole-in-the-wall. The pulled pork (drenched in their bbq sauce) just shines as bright as any respectful bbq place. The barbecue pastrami sandwich (go figure), was pretty insane, too. No, I haven't been to every supper club or obscure restaurant in Central Wisconsin. But having frequented "up north Wisconsin" (family owns a lake house up there) since I was 5 years old, not once could I remember a place that I felt had better food. Whenever I make the trek up from Illinois, I always stop in, as well as grab one of their frozen lasagnas or bbq chili bowls to go. That's saying something.

During a recent family vacation, my sister and brother-in-law picked up an order from this BBQ spot…read moreand brought it back to the cabin for all of us to share. They got the brisket, short ribs, and cornbread--and we were all starving by the time it arrived. The brisket had a nice smoky flavor, though it was a bit on the fatty side for my taste--not bad, just not my favorite. The short ribs, on the other hand, were a total hit. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and everyone loved them. They clearly know what they're doing when it comes to ribs. The sauces were bold and flavorful, and the cornbread added a sweet, comforting balance to the meal. We enjoyed it so much, I completely forgot to take any pictures--which says a lot. Definitely a great takeout option if you're nearby, especially if you're craving some seriously good ribs.

A small cafe in the middle of Wisconsin quietly has some of the best food in the country. And it's…read morebeen so consistent for years, I had to make another shout out. Their daily specials are generally inventive like Strawberry Rhubarb Fat French Toast, Pot Roast Omelette, Beet Panini, etc. They usually have equally interesting drink options such as the caramel apple latte, which was divine. They also are a full fledged bake shop, making all of their breads and cakes and pastries in house. All of it is worth checking out. Here's a place with a commitment to super high quality, better than average cafe fare, at a good price and friendly service. I always stop here whenever I go into upper WI to fish.

We arrived around 9 am on a Wednesday and it was very busy--they had already sold out of one of the breakfast specials. That said, we were still seated right away and had water and our chosen beverages in front of us in a jiffy (and my coffee was topped off regularly). Dawn was our server and she was very pleasant and helpful when I had a question about the menu. My guy had two blueberry pancakes with bacon, and I had biscuits & gravy with hash browns. The pancakes were fluffy and satisfying, and the biscuits & gravy were packed full of flavor. LFG's breakfast was delicious, and a great price!

It seems like a fun place to bowl as the lanes are very nice. There is a large bar and a few slot machines around the alley. The gentleman taking my order wasn't accommodating at all. Perhaps, he didn't know that I'd never been there, but as a business owner, you should always treat your customers as if it was their first time to visit your establishment. Before moving to Wisconsin, I'd never heard of broasted chicken, but my husband has always talked about it because he knows I love fried chicken. When I saw it in the menu, I knew that it had to be ordered. It took about 15 minutes and when it arrived, the first thing I noticed was how crispy the skin looked. I ordered dark meat because I love chicken thighs. The chicken was spot on awesome! I did have to S&P it but the flavor was still very good. The chicken was so juicy but not greasy which I love. I ordered potato wedges and coleslaw to go with it. The wedges were probably the frozen ones but very crispy and crunchy along the edges. The coleslaw was savory/sweet and one I've missed from living in Texas. All the coleslaws that I've had up here are savory and not enjoyable. This meal was very good. I'll definitely go again and probably order the broasted chicken. My husband enjoys bowling here over where we go on Saturdays for our couple bowling league as the lanes at Waupaca bowl are nicely oiled. It's also larger and the tables at the lanes are more inviting to visiting while bowling. I'd like to try bowling here one evening too.
