We both had a perfect breakfast at 2pm after flying the red eye to Chicago and then driving to Wisconsin. The hash browns, pancakes, omelettes and poached eggs are great. The service is very good and there is no rushing you to order or get out. Free coffee refills. Cool 50s decor. Clean place read more

For now all I can say is AWESOMELY DELICIOUS!!!! Easily 5-Stars professional staff, treated like family. We've only been stopping by maybe 7-10 times a month the portions are huge the price very reasonable. The menu is exhaustless almost, so something for everyone and doggie bags/containers for everyone. We tell everyone and all our friends love this Diner located on HWY 45, in Bristol, WI. read more

We've been here several times. Quick service in a casual retro atmosphere. Today was the 1st time I ordered a burger here. It was honestly one of the best burgers that I have ever had. The fries are also very good, with a nice crisp exterior. read more

This nostalgic little piece of heaven boasts delicious diner fare, everything that should be crispy is crispy and they add some healthy fare options not typical to your average Diner. Everything I've tried has been delicious, I highly recommend their Parmesan potatoes.....soooo good, I substitute them with my eggs and so very worth it. On the flip side their grilled chicken on their salad was some of the best and most flavorful I've had while dining out. read more

It's a traditional dinner with almost anything u can think of on the menu. Big portions and soup always comes with a meal! read more

Place was ok with me. I stopped in with Terry N-M, James M, and Brianna W on a Sunday afternoon for something preferably greasy (thanks to a night of pounding Lite for Jean M's "Salem Reception"). I ordered the omelete and found it pretty run of the mill. Good sized portions, hashbrows, and toast for a fair price (~$6). Orange juice tasted like it was out of a machine (like McDonalds) versus freshly squeezed which is what I expect out of a 4 to 5 star diner. Wasnt too packed at what I expect to be around its peak time (11 o'clock church getting out and the Salem bible-thumpers going to brunch). Waitstaff I found to be ok (but dont ask James M for his opinion! Or for him to order the "Barbeque Burger" for you!). I'd want to try something new before I went back to this 50's themed diner (unless their staffed started serving on roller skates). read more

A great little diner to eat at. I love that the serve breakfast all day so if you get a craving at 4pm you can fulfill it. They have a huge menu so even if you don't want breakfast food you'll find something you'll love. Food is good, price point is also good. If you don't want to eat in, you can order from their take out menu. Definitely recommend this diner for a quick breakfast or lunch read more

Always consistent food and great service at this awesome family owned restaurant! Never had a bad meal and it's our favorite breakfast place in the County read more

The food was good and was served fast. We were also able to be seated right away even for a weekend brunch (party of 2). Workers seemed busy and therefore not very friendly/personable. It was a typical breakfast diner with some cool decor. I am looking forward to going back for a shake sometime. read more

A nice little breakfast place (though I'm sure everything else is good. Diner type setting with a large menu. I went with a 2 egg breakfast and it was delish. Nice size servings for he sides. Service was good. Happy to come back but I'd go for dinner to mix it up. read more

Stopped here after a recommendation from a local. The service was very fast, prompt and attentive. The burger was amazing and huge, well worth trying if you enjoy a massive burger. We also ordered potato skins which had plenty of toppings. The menu had a wide variety of foods and deserts. Would certainly stop back by when in the area. read more

This place was the best daddy-o! It was like antsville it was so packed. These waitresses were some cool kittens. The service was so snappy, they really beat feet. The food was on par, but not quite the bees knees. read more

YUM-MY! My brother took the hubby and I here last month. Not only does it have great decor, but more importantly the food is so good. So we came back this past weekend with my dad. It's a fun, 50's themed diner. It's super easy to get to, just take Rte. 45 up from Antioch and it's only a few minutes into WI. I'm sure they have other things on their menu but we have only gone for breakfast. We plan to go back whenever we can! read more

The diner was a nice place, with a 50s style to it.  This struck me as a faux style as opposed to a classic hold over. The good The staff was fast Freindly, attractive and attentive  The food was reasonablely priced and pretty good.   The place is local so much better than most options around. The bad The biscuits and gravy were passable but premade.  My order was out in less than 5 min.  Call me old fashioned but cooked to order breakfast is what 5 star places are. The Decore was almost the of a Friday of the 50s.  A bunch of ranom crap of the walls that has nothing to do with the place.  Also there was a cutout of a whilitzor juke box on the wall that really rubbed me the wrong way.   All in all I would stop by again. read more

Used to love this place back when they first opened; over the years the portions have gotten smaller and the prices, higher. Don't go here very often anymore but visited last night as it was convenient, service was good. Didn't enjoy the clam chowder, the soup tasted like a simple cream-of-fill-in-the-blank base that must be the same for all of their soups because at times I couldn't tell if I was eating clam chowder or cream of chicken. The cheeseburger and BLT were good, my family said. read more

Great turkey dinner. Malt was the right thickness, maybe a bit more malt. Skip the onion straws if you want real thin ones. read more

Far from being decent food and service. Went for breakfast and totally disgusted by it. Ordered bacon and eggs over easy and english muffin. The eggs were over cooked well. The bacon was greasy and cold. The english muffin came cold. The service was not the best and getting refills for coffee and water was non existent. The icing on the cake was that the sever with the bad attitude was saying out loud to another how bad the owners were and how bad working for them was. This is the forth and last time coming here. read more

The food was delicious. However, I went there with three other people and the three of us had to share one menu. What I am assuming was the manager looked at us several times sharing this one menu and did not say a word. Also, the other manager did her check splitting sitting down at the counter next to me in the middle of the rush. It felt very unprofessional. read more

Love this place! Awesome breakfasts, good portions, nice staff, decent prices! Got to love their orange juice!

A cute 50's themed diner, very clean. What stood out for me was the fast service, reasonably good food, and friendly waitstaff. They serve breakfast all day, and the prices are better than IHOP or Dennys. When I was there on a Sunday mid-afternoon, it was half full of people, with a mix of both IL and WI licence plates, We ordered bugers and fries - lots of food and quite good! We also ordered the "onion haystack" as an appetizer - huge amount of batter-dipped fried onions, but not outstanding, so give them a pass. I will go back sometime for breakfast, and will also go for their burgers if I am in the area when hungry. read more

My husband and I have been here for breakfast a few times now and it hasn't disappointed us yet. The omelettes, skillets, and pancakes are great. The service is always pleasant and quick. Will have to try the lunch sometime, I've seen other orders and they look delicious, plus the servings are huge. read more

Great little place off of Route 45 and Highway 50. Good burgers and great selection of breakfast food.

Hands down, the GO TO place for breakfast in the area. My boys and I are there for "Special Breakfast" just about every Sunday. "Special" lies in the prompt service, the frequent coffee fills up, the smiling staff and the great food in greater portions. read more

Best local diner...great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!! Always perfect any time of day... Enjoy! :)

This is our new favorite spot. I love their malts and the prime rib on the weekends is so delicious . They're well staffed and they really seem to follow the protocols to prevent covid spread. Last but not least The restrooms are spotless. read more

Very plain and unflavored food not as good as was hoping place is cool though pretty good service wish food was better

We are visiting the area for the summer and staying at a campground just north of the Bristol 45 Diner. We stopped in one evening for dinner, we had great service even though the place was busy, the food was good and we loved the atmosphere of the place. One week later we went back for a quick bite to eat but it was a totally different experience. There were many open tables and we were seated promptly so we figured we could in and out with ease, but we ended up walking out and taking our business elsewhere. We were seated promptly but sat for 10 minutes with no contact. Looked like 3 waitresses were working the dinning room, two young girls at the hostess station and not a one person stopped by or acknowledged that we were there. My wife said to me a "I guess we are stealth". When the hostess was seating another couple near us I asked "can we be waited on we have been waiting for 10 minutes", she replied "yes". A minute later a waitress walked right past us and went to the couple who was just seated and that was all we could take. We walked out and we're not sure if we will return. Seems like this is a local place and if your a stranger your business is not appreciated. read more

Went in today with a party of 11 understanding this may take a while to get seated...that said though, the hostess continued to seat numerous tables that could have easily been put together to accommodate a group...we have generally enjoyed coming here as a small group but won't come back with a large group..they're just not equipped to handle it. Food has always been good so I would still recommend it. read more

The owners did a great job on remodeling this location...it looks like an old diner except everything is new. Now if they only would have spent some money on developing a unique and special tasting menu. The menu is huge and quite confused...there is nothing that stands out here. It would be best if they scaled back and focused on some good food and not try and serve everything. We have tried this place a few times and I can not do it ever again. Also, last time we were there they treated my child rudely...so I would also add that this retaurant is not kid friendly! Save your money and cook at home!!! read more

Bristol 45 Diner closes at 9pm. I called at 8:30 as we were exiting I94 to ensure the kitchen still served up to closing. We arrived 15 minutes later to find the doors locked. We entered as leaving customers opened the door. The hostess said "sorry we close at 9" I said I know I called you 15 minutes ago at it's not 9. She smiled and said sorry. We drove back to a diner on US50 & I94 and sat down at 9:02. Our check was $50. I guess Diner45 doesn't need any additional business! read more

Frozen and pre-made foods, not fresh at all. If you like that kind of thing then this would be a great place, if not you should probably NOT stop here. One positive though....shakes are great. read more

so we went back here for dinner and it was way more exspensive than last time..:( I ended up paying almost 8bucks for a mickey mouse pancake..the waitress didnt tell me it was an upcharge for strawberries! the owners response? "well they are fresh strawberries"..whaaaat? there 3 bucks a package right now at sentry, so 2 bucks for strawberries..PULLLEEEEZEEEE....and my chicken burrito was very dry..the soup was fantastic, and my hubby really liked the chicken fried steak..i tasted it..and yes it was great..never trust a white guy to make you a great burrito..lol..makes u miss a talented mexican cook who really knows how to hook it up! The soda is over 2 bucks too..i wasnt happy, and my kid didnt even eat the strawberries because they were bitter..ugh! All in all the presentation was great, soup yummy,and I know their bristol 45 wrap is the bomb! Otherwise, go to a family diner closer to home, it wuld save you the gas and the mexican food would be better...Ba Humbug read more

My boyfriend and I come once a month or so for their awesome skillets! Pros:Great food, great prices! Great location! Cons: Shitty coffee (that's what we literally call their coffee) super weak. Most of their staff is friendly, but some of them are a little clueless. Overall, highly recommended. Watch out for the "shitty coffee". read more

Super cute! Stopped for dinner while passing through town, noticed this parking lot was packed - figured it had to be good, and it was! Fantastically friendly and proficient waitstaff. Totally decent dinner fare. Cute, brand-new decor. read more

I love their breakfast. This is a great place to take the kids. They love all of the cool things to see on the walls. I always get the skillets and have never been disappointed. read more

I've been to this establishment a handful of times since I've moved to Bristol, & its usually a hit or miss. Some foods are great, others are not. The food is not always consistent. I had breakfast there today, and my entire meal tasted burnt (granted I am sensitive to burnt food, hate the taste!). I had the full order biscuit and gravy with eggs, bacon, and sausage. The sausage & biscuits were burnt, & the gravy tasted strange as well. The skillets are AMAZING, I recommend them. My main grievance though, is one of the hostesses. She isn't outright rude, but she isn't super friendly either. I can't stand that she walks you to your table, sets the menus down and walks away. Without a word; every time. It is really irritating. The waitresses themselves are very kind though. read more

Great service, great value beautiful clean spotless place. The Nelsons are great people.

This place is very close to where I live. Service is ok. Family atmosphere is nice. Food is so so. Not a bad option for a quick meal.

Had dinner here last week with 3 kids in tow. Great atmosphere and huge menu. Breakfast served all day. Staff was good and food was good too. I'd definitely return. read more

Great food, great prices. Friendly wait staff. Neat decor (50's style). Free wi-fi. A little greasy.
