Reviews
What a super cute old school diner! A must visit when in Manitowoc. Love their burgers, old fashioned malts, cheese curds and home made coleslaw! They also have home made desserts!
When you come to Manitowoc you have to eat at Lates. Period. This place has been in business for 40 yrs plus and continues to rock cheeseburgers, perch sandwiches, and cheese curds. Lucky for me I live nearby. Old school diner feel - one booth only has seating on one side and there are plenty of barstools around 2 circular counters. They also have plenty of historic photos of Manitowoc that I still look at every time I go there . Now that Culver's & Burger King and McDonalds are so expensive, you may as well spend your money at the small business mom & pop diners. I do.
Good food reasonable prices and good wait staff Nice breakfast stop Great fish fry fridays
