We live about twenty five minutes away. When we go out for breakfast, this is absolutely our go-to. Gretchen’s can be very popular (crowded) during the tourist season and unless you are there just after they open, you will probably have to wait to get a table on summer weekends. However, that is truly indicative of just how good this place is. We are retired and my wife and I agree that it is amongst the best cafes we have ever visited.

The good was great. We arrived at 11 a.m. so got a table right away. I had biscuits and gravy. They were the best I’ve ever eaten. The food was great. Their desserts looked amazing, so, I bright s piece of pie home, to have with supper@

Smallish menu, but everything’s so good that’s a good thing. If there were more options, I wouldn’t be able to choose what to order. The pancakes are aggressively fluffy and their omelettes do not mess around. The coffee is actual good coffee. There can be a bit of a wait during peak times but they’re pretty efficient so it’s not too bad. Eat here and be happy.

We came in today at a time when it was fully PACKED. The staff was incredibly efficient at seating and grabbing our order within minutes. I don’t think a fast food chain could’ve gotten out meals faster than we got ours. The coffee was great, the food was amazing, and the server was always available when when we needed something. We tipped probably 50% because it was so impressive. Our server according to the receipt was Corndog. You rock! Thanks again

Anytime I am in the area, I have brunch at Little Fat Gretchen’s. This place has excellent food and a great bakery selection. (They even have gluten free options!) Staff is all very friendly. There is local art for sale hung around the restaurant. Such a great little spot. Definitely recommend.

The competition for Wisconsin’s best breakfast is heating up with Little Fat Gretchen’s as a real contender. A tasty breakfast served quickly by a friendly staff. Choose to be seated at a booth, traditional counter, or enjoy one of the retro tables. Nicely decorated with local art and plenty of available parking. I enjoyed the 2 farm-fresh eggs cooked to medium per my request, sourdough toast and hash browns. I chose to accent my dish with a side of sausage patties. For those with a sweet tooth, enjoy the home baked goods with your coffee. Daily specials include omelets, breakfast sandwiches, and French toast.

I can honestly tell you that I have been searching for a go to breakfast place for most of my life.
Two times in the last three weeks. My wife and I have made our way to Little Fat Gretchen’s’s in Waupaca Wisconsin just so I could have their biscuits and gravy.
When you walk into the joint, you are immediately reminded of an old school diner. Seats at the counter, as well as booths and tables and they are all full. When my wife and I went the first week, we got in quickly, because we were willing to sit at the counter. Truth be told, if it’s only the two of us eating, I would probably almost always eat at the counter. There’s just so much going on in this place, and from the counter, you can see the cooks in the kitchen, the waitresses as they scurry behind the counter, and a glance over your shoulder lets you see the rest of the patrons.
Another cool feature of Little Fat Gretchen’s’s is their case of fresh made bakery. The first weekend we decided to take home a couple pieces of double chocolate cake to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They had some fantastic pies this past weekend, but I managed to talk myself out of it.
Back to our breakfast. My freshman year of college was spent in Troy Alabama, where I was introduced to that gastronomic breakfast known as biscuits and gravy. To say I have been disappointed by what is offered as biscuits and gravy in the north, would be putting it far too mildly .
Seeing that they had biscuits and gravy on the menu I set the bar extremely low but ordered anyway. Thank goodness I did.
Our server was incredibly friendly, checked on us often for coffee refills, and brought us our food in a timely manner.
When I looked at the biscuits, my hopes rose because rather than store-bought biscuits, reheated in a steamer microwave, these were homemade biscuits. Too often restaurants will skip putting sausage in the sausage gravy and instead serve you a pasty white concoction. Were they have overcompensated with pepper to make up for the lack of sausage.
Not so at Little Fat Gretchen’s. The sausage gravy had sausage in it and just the right amount of pepper to make it interesting. The peace d’resistance of my breakfast that morning was a perfectly cooked over-easy egg. You would think that is not a difficult request, but it far too many restaurants an over easy egg comes back, medium or hard. That morning I was greeted by an egg that went pierced with a fork, sent a wonderful river of warm yoke over my biscuits and gravy.
I think the amount of moaning I did while eating my breakfast that morning might’ve made the waitresses uncomfortable. I’m guessing they wondered whether or not I had gas I was having a foodgasm. Trust me… It was a foodgasm.
So as to not embarrass my wife, I did not lick my plate clean. Instead, I scraped as much gravy from it as I could with my knife and fork. That’s how much I loved that biscuits and gravy. It was the best I have had outside of Troy, Alabama .
So get your butt over to Little Fat Gretchen’s and order the biscuits and gravy. If that’s your thing, you won’t be disappointed.

Little Fat Gretchen’s is always good. Reasonable prices with fresh and delicious food. The homemade bread makes the sandwiches! And the specials are interesting and eclectic. Staff are friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is like an old timey diner.

Downtown locale, street parking. Busy but efficient so wait wasn’t long. Quirky diner/ café serving breakfast and lunch. Menu includes typical breakfast and lunch offerings as well as tempting specials. The brisket reuben sandwich on home made pumpernickle was a popular and delicious choice. Tasty hash browns with breakfast items were crisp
and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend.
