I was expecting something different here .. Better atmosphere, better food. Part of the Farm Wisconsin attraction. The French fries were hard and seemed like they were reheated from yesterday... Advertised as homemade French fries...I think not. The grilled cheese didn't look anywhere as good as their photo on their website and wasn't anything to write home about. The cheese curds were pretty pleasant, however. The vibe is just a sterile diner type feel. Nothing wrong with this establishment, I just expected more given the whole farm fresh mantra.

The food was for the most part good, the French fries claimed to be home made, yet tasted like they were warmed up in a microwave. The grilled cheese didn’t look like the photos. But again, the food was mostly good.

Great selection and the cedar crest ice cream is the perfect addition.

After exploring the exhibits and perhaps witnessing a live calf birth, visitors can relax in the café, savoring dishes that pay homage to Wisconsin’s farming traditions. The staff’s warmth and the café’s cozy ambiance make it a perfect spot to reflect on the day’s learnings.
Even if you’re just passing through Manitowoc, the café at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is worth a stop on its own. It’s a small but well-run spot that delivers on taste, quality, and Wisconsin charm. Whether you’re craving comfort food or something fresh and local, this café is a hidden gem.

Nice place to catch lunch. Just off the Interstate with easy access. You don't need to tour the Farm portion if you just want lunch. Nice option though if you tour the test of the building.

I guess call in advance. We drove all the way there wasted time and gas. We were there well before closing time, and were told they were not taking any more orders for the day. ?!?! ? We won't be back, but you do you.

Portion size was way too small for our teenagers. They ended up eating all the food off my plate and left hungry.
