“ I have enjoyed Misty's Menu over the years and wanted to try it after the ownership changed hands. Let me tell you, everything is just as excellent as it was- the food, the service, (is actually even better now!), and it is always clean and inviting. I have enjoyed it 4 times now in the last 4 months. The pancakes pictured here are my sons- they are dinner plate sized and perfect! I love the country fried steak skillet! A layered skillet of country fried steak, hash browns, mushrooms, peppers, onions and sausage gravy and comes with their delicious home-made bread! Their sausage links are the best I've had since I was a kid. Service has been excellent every time, and I've had different waitresses- all attentive and polite. They check on your repeatedly to make sure all is well. I went once with my elderly parents and the waitress was so wonderful with them. Very nice people! Portions are huge! Have had to get a go box every time. So thankful to have a 5 star cafe so close to Nekoosa and Wisconsin Rapids! ”
“ Amazing staff treat you like old friends. Delicious food with innovative rotating specials always providing you new experiences. Hometown diner atmosphere with informative and chic maps of local lakes on the wall. ”
“ This place is exactly what I was looking for. A small town diner with great food, large servings, and gracious staff. Also, the pricing is very affordable. Considering that the economy is in turmoil and chain restaurants are dropping like flies. Will definitely visit again, if ever in the area again. Also, again, they have homemade bread! Not chain homemade. Just delicious fluffy homemade bread. ”
“ Great place to stop for breakfast if you're in the Wisconsin Rapids area. Busy with locals, which is always a great sign! We were seated quickly even though they looked pretty busy. Staff was wonderful the whole time. Food was exactly what you'd hope for, delicious, made from scratch, proper American breakfast food. The biscuits and gravy, hash browns with gravy and eggs and the country fried steak, were all perfect. Their homemade breads are a notch above anything you get in most restaurants. Even the coffee was pretty good! Plenty of parking. Highly recommend this place. ”
“ They pancakes were delicious I They were so big I couldn't eat it all. The service was great and we will definitely have come again! ”
“ The banana Foster cakes were amazing. The sauce that was put on. It was very sweet and it complimented the banana pancakes. Wow! They also have homemade bread if you s would like some get there early because it sells out !!! The meat breakfast skillet was packed with a lot of meat and a lot of flavor, the cheese sauce was good that was put over it. I definitely recommend coming here for breakfast. I'm definitely coming back to try their lunch menu!!!!! ”
“ Food was delicious and the service was friendly. Family owned and they work hard to keep it, you can tell. We had the specials of the day, delicious. ”
“ Before we left Wisconsin to head back home to Florida we stopped here because it was recommended for having great breakfast and that was TRUE! This place was so comforting from the minute we walked in to our server and the food.. absolutely delicious and plentiful. Their peanut butter pie dessert was THE BESSST!!! When we go back to Wisconsin next year, we will definitely visit this cute little restaurant again. I had a meat skillet - SOOOO good!!! ”
