A great little, hometown cafe. Stopped here for breakfast while traveling through town. Great Mexican omelet. Service was quick & very friendly. Will definitely stop here again when in the area!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Casey White · Apr 2023

Good food if they were easier on the griddle with the butter/greese. Service is pretty solid. Good size portions. Always have to ask for napkins. Limited hours so never had late lunch or dinner. Closed several days of the week as well so short hours during open days so hard to get a good take on anything. There is one solid long term server that is awesome however. My only complaint is a locals talking extensively of religion very loudly and speaking nasty of "native americans" which she was not so polite to call them....I would have said something but I'm a semi-regular and didn't want any issues. (* Btw, I'm Caucasian, not American Indian but found the conversation very inappropriate) Didn't want to be a "Karen". Overall if the old, religious, racist, zealots had not been there, it woul

Dated but IMO they have the best biscuits and gravy in Rhinelander. Staff is attentive and friendly. I have never been in when the place was packed. The music is not blaring so you can have a conversation.

I got the whole hog and it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is very welcoming the waitresses are wonderful, they just make the whole experience perfect. It's like eating with family, papillons is the definition of a family restaurant.

★★★★☆ 4.0 JT Emmer · Mar 2018

Food took a long time considering it was breakfast, the place was busy though. Crispy hash browns weren't crispy, coffee was expensive. That said, the country fried steak was excellent, as was the sausage gravy. My Sunny side up eggs were a tad cold but perfectly cooked. Service was ok, friendly and the kept my overpriced cup of coffee full. I will go back again.
