This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure).
The Cheese Factory is a Vegetarian restaurant located in Wisconsin Dells, WI. Wisconsin Dells is a tourist destination, so most restaurants there are average “touristy” quality. The Cheese Factory is an exception! The Cheese Factory restaurant is outstanding. The Cheese Factory is unique, has a personality, pleasant ambiance and well-prepared food that really stands out from the crowd of restaurants in Wisconsin Dells.
The Cheese Factory is strictly vegetarian – there is no meat or fish on the menu whatsoever. You’d expect to see a place like this in a big city – not in a small Midwestern town of 2,500 (yes, that’s the population count of Winsconsin Dells).
At the entrance of the cheese factory has a beautiful garden – it really stands out and you can see it from far away. The inside of the restaurant is light and airy, just like the garden.

The Cheese Factory restaurant menu has vegetarian sandwiches, pizzas, stir-fries, pastas, salads and wraps. The menu is quite extensive with lots of exotic-style dishes, crafted from fresh ingredients without meat. There is also a vegan section, gluten-free section and a great kids menu. Plus a mouth-watering dessert menu!
Some menu selections at The Cheese Factory use meat substitutes like tofu and tempeh, but most entrees are naturally meat-free where meat is not needed and not missed. Personally, I hate tofu, but love naturally meat-free meals, and there is so much stuff I wanted to eat at The Cheese Factory!

I ordered Crostini Douxelles – crunchy garlic toast layered with Portobello mushroom pate, capers, smoked almonds, Romano cheese and roasted red peppers. It was served with a side salad made with super-fresh greens and delicious vinegarette dressing. My husband ordered Portobello Mushroom sandwich – marinated and grilled Portobello mushroom with grilled onions, red peppers and pesto mayo, served on a grilled ciabatta buns. Our meals were outstanding!
