Fantastic breakfast!
Kelly R.

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

Delicious, homemade pizza at the Butternut Cafe!

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!

After visiting Copper Falls we wandered into town and decided to visit a place that shared a…read moresimilar name as the wonderful park up the road. We were surprised by the nicely updated establishment and interesting decor items. One of my pet peeves is not being greeted or acknowledged when first arriving at a restaurant or bar. That was no problem here! We immediately got a friendly hello and were brought our beverage of choice within a few minutes! We were then given a very nice menu, easy to read with a very nice selection from typical deep fried appetizers to traditional bar food up to some nice full menu dinner choices. We ordered the recommended meal of the day and WOW did that hit the spot. The owner actually made a stop by our table to assure everything was good. Had a nice chat with him and even given a short history of the area and his establishment. I would highly recommend this place. Next time we're in the area we will stop in again!

We were there 2 weeks ago on a Sat.. We asked about ordering the fish for $20-21. The waitress…read morechecked with the cook and was told, yes. We ordered and she came back to tell us the fryer wasn't working so it was baked (not broiled). The fish was terrible. Then I asked for our cold slaw and she came back and told us they didn't have any. They could give us mashed potatoes (cook told her this). It was obvious that the cook was, I hate to say, but a jerk and not having a good day and taking it out on her. She was very nice. So, I asked for a salad and she was too I could have that. My husband never got his and we never got the rolls that were to come with the meal. They should be embarrassed to have that kind cook and what we experienced. I called the restaurant to speak directly with the owner (never caught him/there) then got his home number and either doesn't answer or whatever. His message recorder's always full. We could have taken care of this personally, but can't when you make it impossible. We will never............................return. I have a big voice and will pass the news on. And by the way, what the waitress experienced is harassment. I am take this further.
