The Waupaca Woods Restaurant

Today I decided to try lunch at The Waupaca Woods Restaurant.  It is located inside the Waupaca Wood Mall off of Fulton Street.

I entered into a very nice atmosphere and decided to pick a spot near the fireplace...

The waitress who served me was very pleasant and when she handed me the menu I was amazed at how many choices there were!  I decided on the haddock fillet and a side salad.  Some restaurant's fish fillets are left with a bit to be desired: square, pressed-together, and deep fried HOWEVER - The Wood's fillet was wonderful!  It was lightly breaded and the haddock was tender and flakey and delicious!

They even added a lovely garnish of oranges which paired nicely with the fish.

Here is my side salad.  It was much prettier before I put the dressing on.  Loved the presentation with the sliced green pepper on top.  Look how big this is!...and this was a side salad!

Here is Patty, my wonderful server.  She told me she has been with The Waupaca Woods Restaurant for 18 years!  I am sure that the owners Dan and Marsha Johnson are pleased to have her!  I talked with Dan breifly to tell him about my new endeavor in Waupaca and the blog.  When I asked him what he would like to people to know about his restaurant, he stated, "We are family oriented and known for our breakfast, seafood and daily specials."

I was also able to share with Dan what I did at my place of work as a budget and credit counselor.  I hope he shares the information with his employees too!

When I checked out at the back of the restaurant I noticed all the plaques they were awarded for BEST Breakfast, Fish Fry, Lunch, Soup and Kids Menu! 

I took a piece of chocolate chip date cake home to share with my family, ahhhh, maybe :) - and noticed how many pie, cake and dessert offeringings they had.  About 3:30 this afternoon I decided to sneak some of the cake.  I unwrapped the container and could not believe the pretty sight I saw, all deocrated with whip cream!

Next time your in Waupaca be sure to stop in at The Waupaca Woods Restaurant!


Remember the Pie Song from the movie Michael?  Thought this would be fitting...
