You can’t make a Wisconsin road trip without stopping into a local family diner. In downtown Antigo, stop by Dixie Lunch for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But don’t be surprised when you need to make a second stop! This diner has been opened and run by the Ourada family since 1945 and serves up true home-cooked food, and they have the friendliest service to stop and fill up before a busy day exploring the outdoors!
