Sulten Belly

The food is a cut above. I ordered a panini and it was SO good! So many unique flavors and sauces. My partner ordered a salad and it was delicious. They are masters of everything on their menu. I'd be surprised if anyone goes away disappointed. I will return and bring a friend. Nice, Casual atmosphere. Considerate, friendly staff.

I have tried this restaurant before, and I can only say that it keeps getting better each time. I will definitely return in 2025. The chef always surprises with the daily specials; he takes creative risks and achieves very interesting combinations. Discreetly and conveniently located on Main Street in Waupaca, it is 100% recommended. Last, but not least: Amanda is awesome! Update, 05/03/2025 Hone; honed; honing Verb Each visit to Sulten Belly feels like witnessing the hone of a true culinary artist. The chef’s skills are constantly sharpening, and it’s clear they are getting better and better with each meal. This time, we started with the Fiesta Shrimp Salad — a refreshing and slightly spicy dish that struck the perfect balance between crunch and flavor. The grilled shrimp were a standout, with a smoky aroma that almost made you taste the fire in every bite. It’s a dish that truly showcases the chef’s growing mastery of flavors and technique. Next came the Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms, which were simply perfect. The mushrooms were tender, infused with a rich balsamic glaze that complemented their earthiness beautifully. It’s inspiring to see how the chef continues to refine their craft, creating dishes that are both innovative and comforting. Throughout our visit, Amanda was as awesome as ever — warm, attentive, and making us feel right at home. Thank you for another wonderful experience. It’s a pleasure to see this restaurant’s culinary skills improve with each visit!

My wife and I took a little overnight road trip to Waupaca for her birthday. Upon arriving in town we were scoping out the downtown area and looking for a place to have lunch before our check in time at our airbnb. I saw a sign next to the movie theater of a PIG. In my head all I thought was smoked meat. Perfect. The size of the restaurant is about the size of your local tavern. Order at the counter and servers bring out your food. The menu was stacked with choices. I had chosen the smoke tenderloin sandwich and it was so big I took half with us. The Colorado chili was amazing as well. We have already decided to make another trip to the area in the future and will be sure to stop in for lunch here. 5 stars! Oh and don’t forget to buy the crew a shift beer! Cheers!

Boom!!!! Seriously wonderful grub! The atmosphere is amazing. Regina is really kind and the owners, Eric and Amanda are super friendly and really funny. Felt more like friends verses another patron. Even bought the kitchen a round after they gave my friend a beer for eating two full meals. Never put a bet on a beer for a guy who lives in Wisconsin! Hahah 2nd time here in two weeks.... Will be back again!

I stopped for lunch on my way thru town. Was happen to find this place. The environment is clean and modern. It smells tasty as soon as you walk in. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The smoked turkey sandwich was fantastic. I sat outside in the back which was covered for shade. They are dog friendly as well. They provide water for you at the table. Will stop in again.

Never had a bad meal here! Every item that we've had off the menu so far has been spectacular -- we especially love the rotating specials and focus on local ingredients. It's quickly become our favorite lunch spot in the area, and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a superb meal!

Such a gem of a restaurant! The food is fantastic and the staff is super nice. My lunch included a delicious sandwich with generous layers of meat and cheese and one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had! I highly recommend getting the beer cheese bacon dip with your chips as well. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in the area!

We stopped here for lunch on the recommendation of the Bookcellar and Aquamos Coffee staff and we were blown away by how great everything is about this place. The food was so good we came back for the lunch the following day to try something different. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful, the vibe is laid back, and the food is delicious. If you're in the area, don't miss out on a great meal.
