Kirby's Cafe - Emmetsburg

If you visit this cozy café during lunchtime, you’ll likely discover a full parking lot. However, don’t let that deter you from enjoying a fantastic meal. This charming café is surprisingly spacious inside. Even with a packed lot, we were able to enter and find a seat right away—no wait at all! Our waitress greeted us promptly and informed us that their spicy fried cheese was back on the menu, claiming it to be one of their best appetizers. We couldn't resist trying it. After hearing that Kirby's might have the best burger within a 100-mile radius, I was eager to see what all the fuss was about. The spicy cheese curds were clearly homemade, varied in size, perfectly seasoned, and paired wonderfully with ranch dressing—definitely a must-try! As for the burgers, they were almost perfect. They were incredibly flavorful, and you could tell the meat was locally sourced, not from a grocery store. I highly recommend stopping by Kirby's for a delicious meal!

A super friendly atmosphere. Had a nice waitress and the food is cooked for perfection. Great servings and overall great price for quantity get
