Flew into Wisconsin (my 50th state visited) today, and driving from Milwaukee to Stevens Point I wanted a “local diner” to eat. Put it in Waze and found this place, didn’t even look at the hours open. When I arrived, walked in and they immediately told me that they closed in 2 minutes. I jokingly said, “but I came all the way from Georgia.” Well, after 20 minutes of some great conversation and the best eggs/bacon there was, I was happy! Go see this place, great food but more importantly GREAT SERVICE!

First time experience! I am not sure why it has taken me so long to come here. The food was PHENOMENAL - I asked for extra crispy hash browns and they delivered! The decor is historical and beautifully done. I cannot tell you how very spectacular our waitress "Denise" was. She was prompt and funny and delivered above and beyond. This place is very transparent. Your food is prepared right behind the counter for the most part. Their kitchen isn't all hidden and closed off- you can see how clean it is. The are a well oiled machine and do what they do best. GO THERE- EXPERIENCE A SMALL TOWN FEELING- AND TELL DENISE I SAY HI! (Denise is not her name but rather what I called her- I think her name is actually Jess)

Great authentic diner!! Highly recommended. The food was typical greasy spoon; pancakes were just the way we like them - chewy, but not cakey. The samplers had everything we liked. Breakfast burritos was very filling as well. Remember to bring Quarters for the parking meter. Last pic is our spotless plates. Very yummy.

One word: FANTASTIC. My wife and I went here after walking up and down Main Street once we finished our last trip of this year to the Farmer's Market. I ordered what I always order, the Biscuits and Gravy with a side order of Hash Browns, and my wife had a Cheese Omelet. From the food to the conversation we had with the waitresses as well as with Sandy, we had a wonderful experience -- so much so that we both thought that going back more regularly was in order. There's something about sitting at the counter and having a meal while talking to the employees that's very comforting...it's something that's sadly lacking nowadays, at least in my opinion, and is a throwback to a bygone era where strangers at a small restaurant would actually engage with each other over a meal. I find, as I get older, that places like The Diner are more and more appealing...not just for the ( wonderful ) food but also for the atmosphere. Thanks to all who made this morning's meal an amazing one -- we will DEFINITELY be coming back !! 👏😁
