Restaurants in Marshfield Worth Planning Around

Dinner in Marshfield can start in an ice cream plant built in 1941 and end with a burger about 0.1 miles away. That pairing is the quickest way into the restaurants in Marshfield, where the city ordered Central Avenue buildings in brick after the 1887 fire.

This guide works through five tables worth planning around: a brewpub, a tavern, a downtown diner, a family chain and a hotel grill. Japanese options follow near the end. Plan the rest of the day with Marshfield's attractions.

Blue Heron BrewPub: pizza inside the Parkin Ice Cream plant

After several other uses, the building was rehabilitated in 2005 with federal historic tax credits and reopened as a restaurant and brewpub. The National Register of Historic Places listed it on January 8, 2009. A 2013 visitor noted that the red garage doors on the front are decorative, an architectural nod rather than working doors.

The pub's own site lists 16-inch hand-tossed brick oven pizzas and calzones, with dine-in and takeout, though one reviewer mentions 12-inch pies, so sizes may vary. One reviewer who stopped in on June 19, 2026 wrote that the menu had narrowed to hand-tossed pizza, with dough the kitchen makes and mixes with beer. Older write-ups list fried pickles and duck strips, so check what is being served before you arrive hoping for either.

Travel Wisconsin names Honey Blonde, Tiger's Eye and Loch Ness Scotch Ale as the flagship beers, brewed on a 7-barrel system. The pub's site lists hours of 3 pm to 9:30 pm Tuesday through Friday and noon to 9:30 pm on Saturday, with Sunday and Monday closed. The venue lists outdoor seating and a free parking lot.

Nutz Deep II: burgers, breakfast and a Friday fish fry

The name came from a Sturgeon Bay tavern, a regular named Wally and a John Deere tractor that came through a front door one night. The corner at 809 South Central Avenue was Tony's before it was The Intensive Care.

Hours run from 7 am to 2 am Sunday through Thursday and to 2:30 am on Friday and Saturday. The site lists Best Burger in the Best of Marshfield voting every year from 2009 through 2026. The kitchen turns out half-pound burgers, walleye bites, loaded nachos and a BBQ Chicken Mac-a-rito wrap, plus pizza on a gluten-free broccoli crust.

Reviewers mention booth seating, families with small children, and appetizers big enough to share. The venue lists a children's menu, a free parking lot and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Kitchen Table: omelets with chili on East 3rd Street

Omelets come with homemade chili, homemade jelly sits on the tables, and the kitchen sells jars of its salsa next to copies of its recipe cookbook. A visitor in town for a wedding called the omelet with chili an incredible breakfast and got a sample of the salsa.

Travel Wisconsin describes a Northwoods feel in an intimate setting, with shared tables that make it easy to meet locals. The business profile on Google marks payment as limited to cash, so carry bills or call 715-387-2601 before you go. Kitchen Table sits about 0.4 miles from the brewpub.

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery: the early start and the big table

The venue lists a children's menu, a free parking lot and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Reviews run mixed. One reviewer praised the waffles, smoked sausage and hash browns, while another described an eggs Benedict that looked like a fried egg. One guest said the dining room could use a makeover.

Lumberyard Bar & Grill: the hotel grill on the Woodfield Inn site

Marshfield voters named it Best Hotel Restaurant in 2020 and 2021 and Best Lunch Spot in 2018 and 2019. The grill's site lists 11 beers on tap, and says most of the menu can be prepared gluten friendly. Dine-in lunch specials run Monday through Thursday from 10:30 am to 2 pm.

Reviewers mention a cheese curd burger, fish tacos with a big helping of fish and oversized flatbread pizzas. Visit Marshfield recommends the bacon cheeseburger-stuffed French toast for breakfast and the lunch flatbreads, including the Chaparral Chicken. One reviewer found the dining room loud with echo and waited a long time for food, so a busy game night may test your patience.

Friday fish fry: plan around Nutz Deep II

The Nutz Deep II site lists its Friday fish fry from 11 am to 10 pm with seven plates, and Best of Marshfield voters have named it Best Fish Fry every year from 2020 through 2026. One reviewer who went on a Friday found the whole place packed, so arrive early or expect a wait.

More Marshfield restaurants by cuisine

Teppanyaki is the draw at Royal Tokyo, which pairs tableside cooking with a sushi bar. A diner there on August 28, 2026 described grilled shrimp, lobster, salmon and filet cooked at the table.

Nagoya Japanese Sushi & Steakhouse on North Central Avenue serves hibachi dinners and specialty rolls such as the Giant Roll.

If you are choosing between hibachi and sushi, the Asian restaurants in Marshfield are worth comparing before you book.

Planning a Marshfield food day

Marshfield earned the nickname Hub City as a railroad junction, and by 1923 a Soo Line spokesman said it shipped more dairy products than any other city in the country. That dairy history sits behind the ice cream plant that now holds a brewpub. It also fits the cheese curds on the Lumberyard menu.

The brewpub and Nutz Deep II sit about 0.1 miles apart, and Kitchen Table is about 0.4 miles from the brewpub. Perkins and the Lumberyard are about 0.4 miles apart on North Central Avenue, and the Lumberyard is about 1.8 miles from the brewpub.

Sunday narrows the field, since the brewpub and Kitchen Table are both closed. Nutz Deep II, Perkins and the Lumberyard are the dependable Sunday choices, with the Lumberyard listing hours from 11 am to 8 pm. After dinner, the bars in Marshfield are the next stop. Nutz Deep II keeps pouring until 2 am or later.

A workable route is omelets at Kitchen Table, then pizza at the brewpub that evening. Start in the old ice cream plant, finish with a burger about 0.1 miles away, and you have tasted Marshfield in a single night.
