From the breakfast buffet on Sunday to a burger you'll leave satisfied. Always good service and atmosphere at the Cafe. Biker friendly in the summer and snowmobile friendly in winter. I can't wait to make this a regular stop on my motorcycle rides! Stop in for a beer and burger and definitely check out the Sunday buffet!

My husband and I had one of the Wednesday specials - liver and onions. It came with mashed potatoes and gravy and very delicious green beans. The dinner was mouth watering, down to the last bite. Going there for a meal is like going home. We are treated like family. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They are also attentive to your needs while eating at the cafe.

The owner's daughter served us and what a sweet person! She was just amazing and friendly! We had a French toast plate with bacon and tater tots. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Will return and bring others!

Quaint atmosphere, clean establishment and friendly, professional service. The food is amazing. I ordered the New England Stuffed Baked Cod and my dining companion ordered the shrimp. Both were done to perfection. The salad bar had a wonderful twist for our area as they offered 3 types of soup with the standard Wisconsin salad bar favorites. The only alcohol offered is bottled beer so this may not be the place for you if you’re looking for a mixed drink; however, you could always go down the road after a delicious, satisfying meal at Kellner Cafe for your night cap. I look forward to trying their Sunday morning breakfast buffet in the future. I also learned they offer a family to go meal on Fridays that incorporates a bucket of fish and hush puppies. Definitely try out this little gem of a Cafe in Kellner

I happened upon this when driving to my cousin's house, today, who lives nearby. We had lunch there, today! It was AWESOME! We will DEFINITELY be going back, soon! If you haven't tried this little slice of HEAVEN in a restaurant, gather your friends and family members and get over there! I GUARANTEE you won't be disappointed!

My husband and I went out for an impromptu lunch with 12 people last minute! For a smaller location, they pulled out the stops to accommodate us! The staff was at a slow down period and we’re all super welcoming and friendly! The relaxed atmosphere was a BIG plus! I had the Cali Burger and the seasoning added the perfect flavor to the meat! It was cooked to perfection! The crinkle cut fries were deep fried perfectly, which is somewhat difficult to find these days! My husband got the deep fried chicken bacon ranch sandwich and said it was delicious! He spoke to the moist chicken and the perfectly deep fried breading! While you’re there, you’ve got to try the battered cheese curds! BIG HIT for the table! We will definitely be back to try the fish on Friday!
