I got the stuffed pork chop, salad, cheesecake and a coke. Both were delicious! The atmosphere was a sort of hip, jazzy type ofplace which was nice and relaxing. The service was very attentive. Check it out!

Pictured are the Prairie Tenderloin mashed potatoes and the Cajun Shrimp cheddar grits. The shrimp was thewinner of the night. Our waitress was/ is lovely and gave us a full tour of the menu before we ordered. The atmosphere had agreat vibe. On that note: when I come back I want the same employee to pick the music because the blues/ classic rock was SPOTON. See you again! Rachael Matt

The Driftless Cafe felt inclusive welcoming: the menu, the staff, the diners (families, local people, nonlocalpeople (us . It was a non-hurried atmosphere, yet the meal arrived in a timely manner. The music lent a low-key energizing vibe.The decor felt warm and yet was trendy. The real food was freshly prepared and hot! I loved the balance of the dishes: Mac cheese for my non-veggie-eating partner with a tasty green salad with intentional layering of fresh veggies (which he ate! ; andfor me, a fabulously-flavored squash curry soup with vegetarian tostados. The waiter was professional, attentive, and friendly.It felt like the staff in general had a commitment to making The Driftless Cafe a place where all felt welcomed and wheresustainability mattered. It felt like the real-deal. Well done, Driftfless Cafe!
