I absolutely love this place! I go there every time I go back to my parent's house in Wisconsin; it's great for birthdays, special events, or any time you just want to treat yourself or a friend. I almost always get the vegan Black Bean Burrito, but I had the "Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise" last time and loved it! I think I have a new favorite dish!
They also have a specific vegan menu, so be sure to ask for that when you go in. My only complaint about this place is a definite lack of vegan desserts. All of the desserts are so beautifully prepared, but the majority (I think there may be a daily vegan pie offering, but that needs to be double-checked) are not vegan.
Oh, and the service may be slow, but the people are so friendly that it is worth it! This place is definitely a gem in the heart of tourist land!
It's been a while since I've been to the Cheese Factory Restaurant, but the last time I was there, I ordered the vegan chimichanga pictured here. It is perfection.
I too, absolutely love this place. I live in central Wisconsin and go every summer at least once to indulge in the fabuloso vegetarian yummies!! (I do believe that their hours change in the winter, like every other facility in WI Dells in the winter months) I have been a veggie for about 7 years now and find it wonderful to have such a local restaurant such as this one to patron. Totally refreshing atmosphere...people are GREAT...food is delicious!! xox
