Parking, big lot. Servers, very attentive. Food, GREAT. Salad bar, expensive but fresh with choices. Patio, nice but can be windy. We had lots of flies. Hard to find seating on weekends, anytime. Resv help. Prices a tad expensive. Overall, I recommend! See pics below.

We had great service from Laurie! She was kind and funny, and answered all of our questions.
I got the Mediterranean omelet with corned beef hash, well-done hash browns, and chocolate pancakes. It all came out better than I could have hoped(although I think feta crumbles instead of chucks would work easier).

My partner ordered a corned beef hash eggs Benedict and stuffed strawberry cream cheese waffles.

Highly recommend this place if you're in town.

Excellent breakfast! Everything was great from the service, to the food, and everyone we encountered. We live 3.5 hours away but were in area for Packer Family Night. We stopped here with kids and even they enjoyed their French toast to not even want syrup. The pie and cheesecake were fabulous too. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. I am sad we don’t live closer.

Had a lovely brunch here today. It was quite busy. The food was very good. I had the Mediterranean omelette and it was delicious, especially the tomatoes.

The service was on the slower side, but I don't blame them because it was extremely busy.

Overall it was a good experience.

When we were seated, asked what we would like to drink, and my friend asked, "what do you have", the response was, "It's on the back of the menu".

My sister asked about any recommendations, and she wasn't very helpful but asked if she saw the specials "on the way in".

When asked if the check could be split, our server said, "I tried to ask about that, but y'all were talking, talking, and talking."

My sister and her friend were talking in the middle of a serious conversation, and when she had come up, she had only asked about dessert, for which I said, "No, thanks." She proceeded to roll her eyes and walked away.

She was pregnant, so perhaps she was really having a very bad day. But the restaurant wasn't busy. Very unpleasant visit.

DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The chicken was dry, fries were cold. My beef tips/ mashed potatoes were decent.

On checking out, the cashier asked how our visit was and heard our experience. She said, "Unfortunately, it happens a lot (with her)." On a lighter note, there was a nice male server that did check on us once.

Bright and airy, spacious restaurant, large menu, good food, reasonable prices and friendly courteous servers. On a busy Mother's Day, we were still seated quickly, got our drinks, ordered and had hot food in a short period of time. After a long morning of travel, this was the perfect late lunch. A really good burger and fries, and I am told the chicken is also excellent.

When Shawano Cafe advertises it closes at 9pm when the sign is flashing Open, it's all lies!!! Not in any advertisement does it say kitchen closes before 8:30pm!! When it says closes at 9pm it really means kitchen closes before 8:30pm and staff want to be out by or before 9pm. BAD BUSINESS!!

No matter what you order is supper club 5 star.. the Shawano Burger is the best burger my husband and I have had in Shawano county and the hand breaded shrimp was outstanding ..you can taste the freshness and cooked perfectly.
Besides fabulous food they offer hand muddled old fasioned $5.00 on Wednesday.The service is great, the people are great and I encourage anyone coming to Shawano to try this restaurant who has a great salad bar .5 ☆☆☆☆☆

We went back recently and had ordered nachos that had come with a side of sour cream. The sour cream had green mold in it, clearly visible as soon as it was open. Obviously offset my appetite and I only picked at my fish that also came cold. Still had to pay full price for everything including the nachos. We will not be back.

Was coming back from GB. And wanted a sit down restaurant. Perkins was closed on a Wednesday at 6pm so drove through town and came to this place. Cafe can be rough...not this one...its a must stop. The service was amazing. Waitress super sweet to my 5 year old. The food was great...hot and tasty. 1st time in a long time I enjoyed such a great Buffalo chicken wrap. Prices average for any sit down place. Will be dining again when qe drive through.

Being new to Wisconsin, my opinion may not mean much, but I've had some of the best cheese of my life at this place (so far).

Got the Tailgate Burger, subbed American for cheddar, and we also shared some cheese curds for our appetizer. Everything was great. The patty was actually high quality and fresh-tasting, which isn't usually the case for a burger.

They even have sweet potato fries, which is always a plus.

Also, the blueberry pie we had was AMAZING. One of the best pies I've ever had, and definitely the best blueberry one!

Could be more transparent about the raspberry sweet tea not featuring refills, but now I'll know for next time, LOL.

Service was good.

Overall, very happy with my experience.

Went there tonight, ordered food.. my gf asked for no cheese, her sandwich came with cheese, she was a good sport about it. I asked for no peppers.. I HATE peppers. My sandwich came with peppers. Asked if I could please get no peppers.. she said "oh shoot I forgot to put that" when sandwich returned could tell they just picked peppers off since 1) there was still peppers on it and 2) if you know anything about peppers it makes whole meal taste like peppers.. this is all after we Herd the bell in kitchen 3 or 4x go off signaling to server our food was done..(we were only table in there waiting for food) Even seen other server signal to our server that our food was up but she was to worried about getting her side work done.. Def not going back anytime soon.. my daughter n I would go every Tuesday in-between dance classes of hers.. server was huge ball of "entitled bad energy" sorry to be blunt but us as a family never get to get out to eat together cause of schedules

Family style restaurant with excellent food and service. The food was delicious. The service was helpful and very friendly.

The server we had was on top to care about our meal and checked in frequently. Our server went out of her way to get us a pitcher of soda.

The restaurant is easily located just off the Highway 29, exit 225. Plenty of parking, wheelchair accessible. Located on the north side, westbound lanes from the highway.

I totally recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menu includes a decent affordable price for a family style restaurant.

It's definitely a five-star rating without a doubt.
