"I've seen the sign for this place on the Beltline for years, but have never actually ventured along that part of Monona Drive until recently. My boyfriend had noticed it on a drive one day and wanted to try it one morning of his vacation, so I met him and we rolled on over. When we walked in, I was surprised to see that it was counter service. I am the absolute worst decider at a new place, so that kind of threw me for a loop because I hate to be that person that makes the counterperson stand there awkwardly while I make a choice. Usually I research things ahead of time, but for this I had failed. Gratefully there was no one behind me, and after several excruciating minutes (and a wonderfully sweet and patient cashier/our eventual server) I landed on panic pancakes. Panic because too many things sounded good and I just pulled the trigger. I specifically got the cranberry pancakes I love cranberries, the restaurant is named after them, it would presumably be a good choice. Pancakes usually fall to the bottom of my list, though, so when I sat down at our booth to wait I started having buyer's remorse. Happy to report there was no need for that they were amazing. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had, actually my guess is that they were made from scratch instead of with a mix. The cranberry flavor was subtle, but present, and made even better by the cranberry butter it was served with. Cranberry butter! I am a weirdo who skips over maple syrup, so this was a perfect accompaniment. For my side, I chose the rustic red potatoes well seasoned, and cooked all the way through. The restaurant only had a couple other patrons on a weekday morning, but that was fine by me nice and quiet. The interior was really cozy with a huge fireplace that serves as the focal point of the dining area. The cashier/server was fantastic, checking in enough that we had everything we needed, but not interrupting our meal. With my flexible work schedule, I'm excited to hit them up on another weekday morning."

My plate is nearly empty! The food and atmosphere are consistently excellent! It's a perfect spot for family dining on the weekends or a fantastic place to have lunch and discuss business during the week. We've never experienced a bad meal in the four years we've been coming here! The service is excellent, and the food is outstanding!

We brought father here? Day and I have to say that this place continues to impress! I got the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was delicious and delicate and my parents also enjoyed their meals. It is a beautiful atmosphere, quiet and picturesque. Very recommended if you?re not in a hurry, but looking for something more beautiful than a diner and faster than an Applebee style.

I frequently come here for lunch. It's a very homey and cozy atmosphere. I always get a half sandwich or salad with soup. I'm crazy about their spicy chicken panini. The French onion soup is also very tasty. The service is always very nice. It's nothing fancy, but it's a solid lunch choice. Update: I've just recently tried their burger and truffle fries. Absolutely delicious. Truffle fries are to die for. View menu

I've pasted this place everyday to work for over 2 months and finally being on my vacation I made it a note to stop. The simple menu gave me some comfort I found what I wanted with in seconds. I paid up front sat done and in about 15 minutes I had my food. The service was just what i wanted, close but knew when they were need. For the price I've never felt so full. Hidden back on Broadway is a treasure of a cafe.

I dined at the buffet dinner at Cranberry Creek, and I must say, the food was fantastic! The pot roast was incredibly moist and tender, while the chicken Cordon Bleu was simply delightful! And the green beans? As a huge fan of green beans, I can confidently say they surpassed my expectations! I would give this place 10 stars if it were possible! The atmosphere in the dining room was wonderful and cozy, especially with the fireplace on a chilly winter night. Thank you, Cranberry Creek!

It's like eating at home, but you have to wear pants. The decor is very comfy and cozy and the food makes you all warm inside. What I've tried: build your own burger- Endless possibilities! Your dream burger awaits you... The veggie burger here is awesome! Portobello provolone panini- I love a hot sandwich on good bread. and the bread is good Truffle fries- I'm not classy enough to really know what a truffle tastes like, but these fries are damn good. Word to the wise, the Cranberry Creek house sauce does not contain cranberries. A memeber of my lunch group was very dissapointed by this and I would hate for anyone else to suffer the same fate.

This review is for the catering side. I often am responsible for arranging catering for business meetings which is something I usually hate to do. However, Jim and staff at Cranberry Creek make it so easy, every time. The menus have a lot of variety so everyone will be happy, the ordering process is very easy, and we've heard nothing but good things about the food. Prices are very competitive, especially for catering. The staff are great, they just show up and make it all appear, and make it all go away when we're done. What impresses me the most though is that Jim takes care of his staff. I have heard several employees say this is a great place to work. Overall this is a business I'm happy...

We have been a fan of Cranberry Creek for a few years now. Though we don 't frequent the cafe, we do find ourselves wandering into the area from time to time. Every single visit has ended with us talking about how good the food was. Whether it 's burgers, salads, eggs, or pancakes, there appears to be no bad choice on the menu. And the fifth star? I can hear you asking about it from my living room. The service is hit-or-miss. Examples. Today was great. A+ even. All of the employees were chipper and happy to serve us, their customers. In the past (a month ago or so the same staff has hurried us along so they could close. I 'm sorry but if we come in an hour before closing and it takes 40 minu...
