Leicht's Waldo Cafe — Restaurant in Waldo

I'm tempted not to tell ANYBODY about this hidden gem, just so my wife and I can have it all to ourselves whenever we return.

And we most definitely WILL return.

This may be the only diner on the planet where you don't have to beg for crispy hashbrowns. They simply come that way: i.e. done properly. The fries were done perfectly, too. They know their taters.

I highly suggest driving past this place at all costs and go to Plymouth or another business that is focused on the big picture. Failing to plan not a customers fault. I never smash a restaurant on reviews but I can't smash this...

I stopped off here on a Thursday afternoon. The atmosphere was a typical, friendly Wisconsin small town. The lady in charge was smart and friendly. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and they were so-so. I took my order to go and they set me up with some chopped ham for my dog. I would be happy to return here. They close early and they do accept debit and...
