Great restaurant in a historic building. Food and service was excellent! I had a grilled corned beef and swiss and a sample of mushroom barely soup. Will be back

Another fun, music filled evening....bowl of chili, couple of Mud Puppy Porters from Central Waters; Sarah had a Reuben...all tasty...followed by a wonderful Kat Eggelston / Kate ;MacLeod intimate (maybe 25 folks) folks concert....you forget about their hits until you hear the music again...

Love this place. Had the jambalaya, it was great. Best coffee. Even their water is better. Ate on their screened porch. Their building is lovely, next to the river.

Quaint little bar/restaurant of the main drag. I had the cold salami sandwich for lunch...I've never had a better one! Fresh, tastey...Get all the fixings on it! Midwest nice. Love WI

Stopped for dinner. At 7pm they were already out of food. It was deep dish pizza night and we each got one slice of pizza. That's all the food they had. Not like Chicago deep dish and eight dollars a slice not worth it. Service minimalist. I hear that live music is great. I may check that out but I'll eat before I get to the music.

Let me get this out of the way first - I've never tried the food here, so I can't speak to that. However, this place is something special, and whether you're just passing through Fort Atkinson, or live in the surrounding area, it's worth checking out, especially if you are a lover of any music that falls under the general "Americana" heading - folk, bluegrass, blues, country, etc. It is truly an amazing place to see live music. The back room has a bit of a "hole-in-the-wall" feel, with its beat-up but beautiful original turn-of-the-century wood paneling and trim, but it has great sound - you'll hear every unamplified note coming from that Martin D-18 or mandolin on the stage. Great local craft beers on tap. Friendly service. Great music. What more do you want??

Good food - good atmosphere - good people :)

This is one of the best places to hear music you'll find anywhere. Great artists, impeccable sound, intimate seating (which gets very chummy for sold-out shows). But the other highlight is the friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere created by Bill & Kitty and kept alive by everyone in the place. Come early for dinner if you have a mind; seating on the patio with a river view goes fast.

There are two primary reasons to go to Cafe Carpe (ok maybe more but i'll get to them later) Great Food, or Great Music. Either one makes them worth the drive from just about anywhere. If your going for a show come early enough to get a good meal. Their beef for their burger comes from a local farm and is really tasty . We want to come back and try the Jambayla. (not sure if the Jambayla was just a daily special or served all the time). Very good home coked food. Its a fun place. The tables are close together and some people were sitting around playing cards. It's very friendly and a neat environment for a little restaurant/bar. As a venue to catch some great music the room that the preformances are in holds about 60 people and is a mix of chairs reclaimed theather rows and church pews. Its cozy for a sold out show but wow the accoustics are amazing and you are so close to the preformers. It is the perfect place to hear some great music.

While in Fort Atkinson last yr, two of my lovely co-workers treated me to lunch at Cafe Carpe. The company was great but the salad I had seemed so greasy. The ambience was rustic but in a nice way, completely unreminscent of the places I frequent in NY or NJ. A little culture shock can be good for you.

Horrid. Hair in sandwich. Snotty staff (the waitress was ok but never smiled). Ssssllllooooowwww service (30 mins from entry to slapping panini sandwiches on the table). Oh, yes, seat yourself and get your own menus or it will be another 15 mins. Very noisy clanking of dishes in front area so could not hear someone 2 feet away. Greasy sandwiches w cheap potato chips. The staff do not want to be serving lunch to patrons. Therefore I would recommend to avoid this place. This is my first Yelp review because I felt I owed it to humanity to not be insulted by this depressing place.

Cafe Carpe is an excellent place to get a satisfying, healthy, home-cooked meal. My favorite is their spinach feta pie with side salad with a local brew. The Carpe is my top recommendation for eating and entertainment in Fort. It is also an excellent place to catch concerts, but not the crowded stadiums you might be used to. Their performance space is much more intimate and you will greatly benefit from it.....I'm still remembering watching Vance Gilbert from the front row in old movie theater seats...what a concert!!! (I bought the Somerville Live and Shaking Off Gravity albums from him that night and I love his music even more now). Cafe Carpe is also excellent at serving local brews and have a great selection. They recently completed renovation and added on a wonderful river-front screened porch. They open the performance venue's windows so you can sit outside and enjoy. Just make sure to check their website for hours, menu and performance schedule! I wish soooo many places were like Cafe Carpe.

Great food, plenty of options for vegetarians and meateaters alike. Great service, cheapish beer and fun atmosphere. Enjoyed my meal and drinks everytime I go. I only wish they served fries instead of chips. The chips don't make me feel as full and it's nice to have something hot.

Very nice rustic ambiance with coziness and friendly service. Do not expect too much just go there to eat and drink and do not forget to try their daily soup as well.

Good food, laid back atmosphere, friendly service. This is a good place to go if you are looking for an casual place to eat good food.

One night while I was at UW-Milwaukee, my brother and I drove nearly an hour out into the country to Fort Atkinson. I had heard about this place but my first trip there was great. At the front of this place is a bar and restaurant and the back has a cozy room to see bands. The night I was there, it was a calm evening of open mic singers. What I like most about this place is the history of one, Jeffrey Foucault who played here. When I moved to San Francisco I visited Carpe's website to find they were advertising Jeff's new CD, Miles From the Lightning. I never heard him and listened to a few of his tracks. Jeff has since become something of a star and a fantastic musician on the folk circuit. That a place like this exists in Southern Wisconsin outside of Madison or Milwaukee is truly a great thing.

This place is truly a gem. the food is healthy and delicious. The atmosphere is unpretentious, but definitely cool. I also don't think I've ever been disappointed in any of the acts I've seen, even when making a spontaneous visit and not knowing who will be on stage.

This is a very down to earth cafe that has very good homecooked food. The owner/chef/house musician serves some tasty pankakes and other breakfast foods which are his speciality. The server I spoke to was also a musician like myself so we shared a few stories. They have folk and blues performers here around once a week. The main room is very small, but they will open up the back room if needed.
