First time at Holiday Cafe but will definitely not be the last time. Many different choices (both kids and adults) with variety depending on what you are looking for. The portion sizes will be ensure you leave full and maybe even bring some home too. 10/10 recommend this spot!

Went there three times this week for breakfast. They have a great menu along with great food. I will warn you if you order their pancakes unless you have big appetite ask for just one. They are the size of the plate.

Was ignore after being seated, until a CHILD had to take our drink order. We decided to leave after that, The hostess just shrugged and said. "That's fine, I have other guests to seat." We will never set foot in this restaurant again.

Betty is the best server ever. Our coffee cups were never empty! The sausage gravy was delicious and portions are very generous!

Stopped in for what I thought was going to be a quick lunch while passing through Woodruff on a bicycle tour. Waited about 15 min for a table which was reasonable. Ordered coffee and one blueberry pancake which took 50 minutes before it was served. I realize they were busy and it was a holiday weekend, but that amount of time seemed excessive. At no point did the waitress update me on my order and there was no "sorry about the delay" when I finally got it. I have no complaints about the food, but the service definitely needs improvement.

It's a busy place and the staff is stretched thin. They are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is very good and worth the wait.
The perch fish fry was the best I've had in a long time!

We had the andoulle skillet and the meat lover skillet. Delicious

Way more seating than some previous reviews mentioned. Friendly efficient service even tho it was Sunday breakfast. Everything was SO good. I always order the same thing for breakfast and it was perfect. One egg scrambled- fluffy and the correct (small) portion (ever notice how 2 eggs is always 3 etc.? I’m not that into eggs), crispy but not burnt bacon, actual shredded potato hash browns with real cheddar and a side of sour cream and cholula. A coffee carafe left on the table = extra points. Yay!

Avoid this place. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food and nobody came to apologize or even explain that they were running behind. Ridiculous operational management. But the food was good... Just took way too long. Unreasonably long

I just wanted to be honest — this was a really disappointing experience. I ordered a cheese omelette and the first time, the eggs weren’t even cooked. The second time they came back, it was literally just a pile of cheese. On top of that, the pancakes tasted like onions — no clue how that even happens. I paid 60$ for the food and I expected way better. Definitely won’t be back.

An old fashioned diner with simple dishes at a fair price. Can’t say anything bad about the place. Waitresses were very friendly, answered questions with ease and checked back enough to make sure we had everything.
Seemed like lots of regulars and the staff was excited to see everyone and made them feel like family.
Food was good, homestyle and was prepared exactly as requested.
Coffee comes in a pitcher for the table so you never have to wait. A nice addition to the Northwoods town.

Food just wasn't great tasting. Pancakes were absolutely flavorless. Fries were way oversalted. Prices are just okay. Wouldn't let me get hash browns while they were still serving breakfast with my sandwich for some odd reason.

This place is a Delicious GEM! The fries here are perfect, their fish fry is exquisite, and great burgers, and yummy greasy cheese curds. No complaints! We had a two hour wait, waiting for seating and to get our food.. Partly because we came on Friday Fish fry night. But previous times they were always accommodating and food delicious, even if it takes awhile.
Great price for delicious food that's comparatively better than other places in Minocqua. ♡
4pts for Atmosphere just because it's quite loud when it's packed. And there are few places that feel a little dirty- but they definitely put in the effort.
4pts for service- our waitress and staff were incredibly helpful and did all they could! Just was a slow night, per usual during the summer rush.

This was exactly what we wanted for lunch—a great local find. The staff was amazing, and the food was good. While traveling, we lucked out finding this local restaurant. My sister and I had the world's best BLT there. Local restaurants are the best! If we lied in the area, this would be a frequently visited place. There were two waitresses who were slammed, but worked extremely hard and were very friendly.

Went for breakfast and had biscuits and gravy. It was great. Hubby had lemon blueberry pancakes. He hated the lemon sauce. To much and to overpowering for him. Pancakes were as huge, if not a little bigger than the plate. Big fat blueberries. Downside it's dated and not well lit but that's a typical eating establishment in Northern WI.
