Timothy's Cafe — Restaurant in Fennimore

My wife and I drove to Fennimore today just to eat at Timothy’s Café. It was our second trip there since moving to Mineral Point about 18 months ago. Our first trip was this past summer when we stumbled upon the café returning from a trip to Wyalusing State Park. We returned to Timothy’s Café because we wanted to see if our eating experience there was as good as we remembered it.

It was – totally!

Today we had the special that included a sandwich, salad bar, soup, and dessert. The salad bar had a great selection of different offerings: EVERYTHING was fresh. We both had the hamburger mushroom soup which we’ll give a double thumbs up. We also both had the deep fried fish sandwich. We love a good Wisconsin fish fry and have had the great fortune to eat at number of excellent places around the state. Timothy’s Café’s deep fried fish sandwich actually rivals some of the best Friday fish fry servings we’ve had in the past at other highly touted places. The sandwich comes with three big pieces of deep fried haddock. We ended up taking half of the fish home along with our dessert – we were that full. The dessert, by the way, was a cream puff and bread pudding w/caramel sauce: Five star excellent. And you just can’t beat the price for their sandwich special – You just can’t.

We also want to give a shout out to the superb service from our waitress and the cook/owner – super friendly, personable and quick!

We have added Timothy’s Café to our personal short list of our Hall of Fame eating places which include Café 43 here in Mineral Point, the Hilltop Café in Fairbanks, Alaska (where we lived for 20 yrs) and the Coconut Grill in Hilo, Hawaii (where I am from). Why drive to Fennimore? For us we have one great reason:...

This place blew me away!

We stopped in for a late (1pm) breakfast or lunch before doing some fishing in the Fennimore area. I was impressed by the decor and the service immediately. Our waitress was attentive and equipped to deal with our punchy demeanor. Three of us ordered burgers, which come with a side salad. My side salad was a simple lettuce, cucumber, and tomato salad with a creamy italian. Nothing impressive but good enough. My black and bleu burger was delicious! This was a blackened cajun burger with bleu cheese dressing. I ordered mine with some grilled onions and pickles. By the time I added a little ketchup and mustard, I had one of the best burgers I've consumed in some time. One of my friends had the bacon bacon bacon burgers. Aptly named, indeed! It looked pretty good, and he said it was. The fourth member of our group had the veggie omelette, which he enjoyed and was quite sizable. That was served with toast.

The two things that further set Timothy's apart were the bottomless glass of milk (which I've never come across anywhere else), and the crazy large desserts. I ordered the bottomless glass of milk ($2.50), and I went with the option of 1% chocolate milk. You can also get 2% white milk. Two of us ordered the cinnamon rolls, and I'll leave you to check out my photo of it. Words don't do it justice. You can get it with or without the crushed peanuts on top.

In short, if you are anywhere in the Fennimore area, stop on in for breakfast or lunch. They are usually only open until 2pm, so be sure to...

Timothy's is a simple cafe that serves food of amazing quality at a very reasonable price. We stopped for breakfast and chose this cafe because we generally enjoy small town unassuming cafe/diner restaurants, especially for breakfast. I had the breakfast melt, for $6, and was shocked at how delicious it was. Two pieces of perfectly toasted, buttered, and browned bread enclosed both ham and bacon, both cheddar and Swiss cheese slices, perfectly cooked eggs, and fried onions. My husband had the veggie omelette, which was full of mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and cheese and also cooked to perfection and came with two slices of perfect toast. The wait was a little longer than we expected, but it was worth it when we found that the reason for it was that they cook to perfection. Before we left, we saw that they were advertising for lunch any sandwich, with soup AND salad AND dessert for $7. We had seen the home baked cakes on the counter, and they looked gorgeous and scrumptious. Definitely...
