If your in Waupaca, this is where you have to go for breakfast, lunch or early dinner. Great Diner — they actually have great, not greasy, food. Super pie and they can pull an espresso shot, so it’s not your typical gut churning coffee you get in a diner. Great downtown location Plenty of seating. And yes, there is a little fat Gretchen. It’s her place.

I can’t imagine that there’s a better diner anywhere near here, and it’s definitely one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in Wisconsin. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict which was awesome. My friends were really happy with their food and the service was terrific. Thanks Unilocalers for helping us find this place!

I had a grilled buffalo chicken, my husband had the honky-tonk burger, and my daughter had a grilled cheese. The food was very good except the crust on the grill cheese was a little burnt. The staff was friendly and the food is delicious. Drive past the chains along the highway and find this little gem downtown.

Great burgers. We had the cheesehead burgers and they were delicious, tender and juicy. The onion rings were crispy and not bready, also fantastic. Our server was very friendly and prompt with service. One of the best little diners we have come across.

The definite go-to place in Waupaca for breakfast, brunch, lunch. LFG uses quality ingredients, has a charming décor, and the servers are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They also offer interesting specials. Not only do they have outstanding main dishes, the desserts are great also. Their homemade bread is to die for! I had rated them a solid 4 in the past, but I have eaten there many times since and they are truly deserving of a 5 star«as good as it gets» review.

Travel to eat here! Ingredients are all high quality and fresh. The home made rye bread toasted was to die for! Will be back for the fresh baked pies. #BestFood The atmosphere is eclectic, casual with a real sense of being part of the community.

Rosemary beef sandwich was delectable. Peanut butter brownie was worth every calorie. And they let me sit there for hours using the wifi to get some work done. Hot coffee the whole time. A solid find on the road!

I love Little Fat Gretchen’s so much I wish I could take it back to Chicago with me. I travel to Waupaca pretty frequently — the manfriend lives there — and we go to LFG’s at least once per visit for breakfast. The food is delicious and masterfully prepared, and their daily specials are always just unique enough(but not overly fussy or pretentious). Amazing, creative homemade soups, which is important to me. Big portions, everything freshfreshfresh. Perfect biscuits and gravy. Cornbread french toast made a believer out of this Savory Breakfast And Brunch girl. As a self-proclaimed expert on breakfast sandwiches, I adore their Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich on a biscuit. The first time I ate it I almost cried, it was so good. Last time I was there I had their ribeye breakfast quesadilla, which was basically a steak-n-egg platter… INSIDE A TORTILLA. With cheddar and mushrooms. It was perfect. It’s also a really bright, clean, and cutely appointed space. I’m usually the kind of person who doesn’t really care what a restaurant LOOKS like as long as the food is good, but LFG’s is, visually, very pleasant to be in. Even the ladies room is pretty! I will fall into a very deep depression if Little Fat Gretchen’s ever closes. I wish I were there now.

When you spent the previous night pouring gnarly barrel aged beers into your face hole and as a result have hangover sweats strong enough to peel the paint off of passing cars you just want some GD biscuits and gravy and a strong ass cup of coffee. Being quite unfamiliar with the area, I used my trusted method of selection(Best name wins. Works extremely well for diners and bottles of wine). You get homemade biscuits absolutely drowning in wonderful sausage gravy, 2 eggs and toast for like 7 bucks. You cannot beat that deal. Surprisingly for a greasy spoon they serve some top notch coffee as well. This place is quite frankly awesome and everything you want in a small town diner. It is clearly a labor of love and if my hangover I ever make my way back through Waupaca I’ll be stopping in for more relief.

Little Fat Gretchen’s never disappoints! Went today for lunch for myself and breakfast for my husband. He loves the pancakes, real thick — cut bacon and sausage. I tried a special of BLT Chicken salad on a croissant and it was delightful! I also had a cup of their creamy potato soup which was awesome! We always leave full and happy and usually with some pie to take home! Today’s pies were a slice of blackberry peach for my husband and cherry rhubarb for myself. We love the vintage atmosphere and great service. A great place for breakfast or lunch!

I’m so in love with this place and come here as often as I can. Creative cuisine, friendly staff, and sometimes if you are very lucky, you will get to see Gretchen herself! There are always many fresh pies, bars and other pastries. The coffee is good and hot and not crazy strong. Iced tea is perfect. The smoothies are AH-mazing. Keep an eye out for local artists’ work hanging on the walls!

Interesting place in downtown Waupaca. Worth the trip off the nearby highway if your looking for a good home-cooked meal. Prices are reasonable and serving size is large. Lunch seems to get pretty busy and the waitresses work hard to keep everyone happy, but I can be a little wait for you food or bill… Go to McDonalds if you are in a hurry! I have an omelet with hash browns. Omelet was large and tasty. Browns were the old fashion type where it was more like fried mashed potatoes. I also had a parfait for desert. If was really good! Fresh strawberries and bananas with homemade granola.(It thought it was a steal at $ 2.50) I counted 8 freshly backed pies on the counter, along with cakes and cinnamon rolls. They also have smoothies and flavored coffees. Great find in the middle of a small tourist town!

Excellent food and service. Worth the 2 mile detour off the highway. Will definitely go back. Everything was home made. Blueberry cherry pie was amazing.
