OMG! Perch dinners are huge! Tasty too! I love this place. I worked here when I was in high school. New building but the perch dinners are still huge!

This place is a dive. It is a traditional place that the high school students go to after school. So many people come back here often because of the memories. Even though it is a dive, it serves good burgers, fries, and malts. The term greasy spoon fits this place, it is not fancy, but a place to get a cheap decent meal.

This is an all time favorite here in Manitowoc and for good reasons. The burgers are great and the cheese curds are always done to perfection. Never had a bad meal here. The shakes and malts are also top notch. Could go on and on about the food, but best just for you to go and have a meal there. And then stroll over to the lake, a quick walk, and enjoy the beauty.

My hubs favorite place. He’s been eating here 30+years. We live out of state now so we eat here almost every day when we’re in town.

First time here tonight. It was my Dad’s idea and we drove from Green Bay. We both got burgers but they had lots of choices for sandwiches on the menu. Excellent burger, fries, onion rings and chocolate malt. I only wish they were closer.

Burgers were about the thickness of a coaster. My daughter literally asked me how come there wasn’t any meat in the burger. Burger Flavor was okay. Fries, nothing special if you like soggy and salt less. The cheese curds were absolutely dripping with grease. Blotted one dry and choked it down. My son asked why they were all full of butter. (He’s 8), I had to explain what grease was. He pushed them away. The malts were the best part of our meal. Won’t make the trip again. Will post pics too.

Good food but the last few times have been very very greasy. Its a very historic part of our little town so giving a 3 star review may be met with some negativity but I do not believe it is as good as it used to be. Ill still stop there but I do not think it’s what it once was and the food, to me, is about the same as most standard diners.
On the up side, the food is done very fast and the people are always very nice. Building is very dated but that is part of the charm. Regardless of being dated, its always clean from what I have seen.
Ill definitely stop again!

Late’s is a tradition in our family! Good food and great service. We get here whenever we are in town and it’s always a treat! Don’t skip the cheese curds, they’re some of the best around!

Don’t let the outside fool you or the music playing scare you off. Little place has so much to offer. Great home town feel and food was great. Had breakfast there and the bacon was fantastic. Glad we decided to come in.

This is a Manitowoc staple. If you want a greasy burger and some great fries (and sometimes you just want these things) this is the perfect place. Very nostalgic interior and you should check it out.

I came here for the first time around 2 weeks ago and I was amazed at how well the food tasted. The cheese curds were the best ones I’ve ever had and now I understand why people say they’re the best ones in town! What I really appreciated was the excellent and kind service the waitress gave my family and I. I will defenently be coming back, and the waitress will defenently get a 20% or more tip.

Very good food I would recommend their pulled pork, cheese curds, and maple bacon shake or malt.

I grew up with lates and it’s within a mile of my childhood home. I haven’t been to lates in almost 2 years. What a treat to see it has not changed much. I ordered to go and went to pick it up and it was ready when i got there. I noticed they redid the counter tops. Looks very nice and clean. The lady’s working were very nice! I enjoyed the cheeseburger cheescurds and fries. Fries coulda been cooked a little more (kinda mushy)
I can’t wait to go back again!

Best fresh, deep fried cheese curds, Real cheese curds! Best pizza burger and it’s served on a crusty, buttery roll, tasty perch and chicken, real malteds too! I would consider this restaurant the birth place of the deep fried cheese curd! Excellent prices, excellent food, try it, you won’t be disappointed! Just remember, this restaurant serves FRESH, homemade food, but it’s not for dieters! So don’t judge them unfairly, you want a big salad? It’s not here.

This was my favorite place to eat in Manitowoc. The fried cheese curds. Are so good. Like how are they so good? I have no idea, but they are so good. Chocolate malt is a must. The bacon cheeseburger has really thick bacon on it, awesome. The bratwurst comes split on a sandwich bun, amazing. The BBQ pork is soft and sweet, yum. The fried mushrooms are zesty and also worth a try. I’ve heard the pizza burger is the best, but they were sold out on the day we came! The inside is so cute and had all the vintage charm, including the bar seating and historical photos on the walls.
My dad used to work here in the 70s, so it was pretty cool to come check it out. I wanted to bring him a souvenir, so I asked if I could buy one of their coffee cups with the logo on it. They said yes and sold me one off the shelf for $ 8! My dad was so excited and I’m very thankful that they did that for him. :)

Late’s has been around forever… my unlces worked here in the 60’s. Sadly I only discovered it later in life as my family was a devoted Penquin family (we miss the Big Penny!)
Late’s I’m sorry I missed you for so long! Your delicious burgers on Sheboygan hard rolls, your thick milkshakes and you always seem to have Poppy Seed Torte!
I’ve always had good service here. One time I was waiting for a to-​go order and what seemed like the entire Manitowoc Fire Dept rolled up and got cones. I guess that alone speaks to the quality.
The bottom line: My first stop in Manitowoc is Late’s for a cheeseburger, my mom gets the fish and we are always satisfied.
