Best Restaurant in Menomonie

A whole slew of restaurants in the Menomonie area make flavor their middle name. Lucette Brewing Co. and Woodfire Eatery (910 Hudson Road) not only brews beer but also serves up some of the best eats in the Menomonie area. Try their Sweet Honey Love pizza, and fall in love with this restaurant on your own. Jake’s Supper Club (E5690 County Hwy. D) is known for can’t-miss specials and its awesome live music space, especially during the summer. Try the sandwiches, steaks, and prime rib to get the full Menomonie experience. Ted’s Pizza Palace (306 Main St. E.), whose hand-crafted pizza pies and love for great food and community have earned them a permanent place in locals’ hearts, took third.

Get Outside

Several examples of Menomonie’s unmatched scenic beauty landed in our Best Of results. The Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area (740th Street) was voted No. 1 Best Trail for Hiking. It offers more than 700 acres of preserved wetlands, prairie land, and wooded hills to hike your way through. Govin’s Farm (N6134 670th St.) snagged the No. 1 spot for Best Corn Maze, the family favorite known for its berry pickin’ season and fall activities (including its 11-acre corn maze fitted with a unique theme every year!). And The Devil’s Punchbowl (410th Street), a rare natural rock amphitheater, was voted the No. 1 Best Kept Secret by our readers.
