Mathis is a great place for breakfast/brunch/lunch or an early dinner. Fast & friendly. read more

I think this would be our favorite breakfast spot in the Stateline area. It's a really robust menu and equally big portion sizes. The combos give me a mix of sweet and savory and you're always seeming to bring food home. The fresh orange juice is great too. It's a busy place, but for good reason. They do a good job accommodating families and kids with the space they have. read more

Me and my family have been looking for a good food place in Janesville since we travel up here semi-often, and decided to step into the Citrus Cafe for a quaint brunch. I'll start off with the positives by saying that the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant itself is decorated and well-kept. The service was good, and the waitress was friendly. The issue is the food itself. I myself got the Banana Nut French Toast, as pictured. (Yes, they tasted as sad and grey as they look.) Dry and grainy with a strange aftertaste. Somebody in my party ordered the Swedish Pancakes, of which were slimy and tasteless. The Chorizo Breakfast burrito was OK, once slathered with enough salsa to mask its natural taste. I would recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch/brunch after hitting the botanical garden. Very busy place, we didn't have to wait long for a table. Seating was a bit tight (tables are very close together). Food was good- the gyro sandwich was delicious, the Swedish pancakes and lingonberry butter was tasty and the Olé omelet hit the spot. Would definitely eat here again when in town. Waitress was very cheerful and friendly. read more

Greatest breakfast place in Janesville. They have an extensive menu and the food is hot! They have great service too. It's a busy place, but waiting for a table is seldom and/or short! read more

full to the brim on a sunday morning at 9am but still sat us right away when we walked in! Wide array of options on the menu made it so hard to choose from but finally settled on the Chicken and Waffles and two skillets to share. Great quality ingredients and lovely preparation. A big fan of the whipped butter! Someone nearby got the Swedish pancakes and those looked amazing, might have to try those on another timDelicious, simple, comfort meals! read more

All good things to say about Citrus Cafe, my family has been eating breakfast here for the past 7 years. Always great food and Amazing smiling faces serving us!! read more

I got my usual brekky order - a skillet with sourdough toast. It was good - pretty basic tho, nothing special. We ate at the bar area to avoid a wait for a table. Everyone and their mother was drinking the fresh OJ and apparently that is a big hit but I wasn't craving OJ so I did not give that a try. read more

Classic country brunch diner with an artistic flair. Ambience is very bright-- with pops of citrus in the decor. The food portions are HUGE and I recommend you get the soup & fries. You will take half of your meal home with you. read more

Had a late breakfast there yesterday (3/14/26), the food was good, the Swedish pancakes were great! We waited 15-20 minutes for a table which was fine; it was to be expected and there were 10-12 groups in front of us. It was our first visit, and we won't be back. Why? Because at the table next to us were grandparents and a granddaughter having a wonderful visit, getting caught up....and the server came over and told them they needed to leave because Citrus Cafe needed the table, and people were waiting. Wait, what??? The family was obviously a bit shaken and embarrassed; I was shocked, saddened and infuriated. We left our table less than 5 minutes later to pay our bill. There were 3 groups waiting; and 3 larger tables open and available. What could have been a wonderful memory that family may now be remembered not so much for the precious time spent together, but for being asked to leave the Citrus Cafe. I get the need for the restaurant and server to turn the table; the more turns you can get the money you can make and the more tips you can earn. We sat down when they had just finished, so the restaurant and server only missed out on one turn in my view. However, they will now forever miss out on turning our table. read more

A tried and true for a cheap, delicious, filling, Janesville breakfast. It's insane that you can get a full breakfast for like 5 bucks and the service is great. Family owned vibezzz. We came on a Sunday at 2ish and got seated eighth away. Service was super attentive the whole time we were there, and our food came quick after we ordered. We got the Ultimate Omelette and Spartan Omellete. It's a solid great portioned meal. Yummy, buttery. Check the pics!! All in all, you can't go wrong with the brekky establishment. read more

My family loves this place. A wide selection of tasty comfort foods and more unique dishes, and friendly service. Citrus is a gem.

Lovely country style breakfast with friendly ambience and great service. I definitely recommend this restaurant

WOW! This place was incredibly amazing and yes they have the best orange juice. The only reason we stopped here was because we were on a road trip heading down to Chesterton and I am glad we came here for breakfast. I had a scrambler that had feta, much rooms, spinach, tomatoes and a sauce. This was something new to me but the combination of Greek food with breakfast was a brilliant combo. I also tried the blueberry pancakes they were fluffy and buttery almost like actual cake. I hope I get to come here again ! read more

This place used to be a go-to, a no brainer when the wife and I would want to go to breakfast. Service back then was great, wait staff friendly. Well, the interior may have been painted and the floor redone, but today was the first day my wife and I ever walked out. In the past we have had terrific service from Aggy(sp?), Tori(sp)? and Suzie when she was still there. Can't say the same about Patty who has never gone out of her way to be friendly. I would go as far as to characterize her as consistently unfriendly. We walked in, she and other waitress were busy. Both made eye contact with us, no greeting no nothing. We waited at counter for a while. When she finally emerged, she said "go ahead and find a seat." Implicit in this I suppose was "grab your own menu while you are at it." We did. More waiting, and then a couple more customers came in. She grabbed a couple of menus and guided them to a table. I guess different customers, different behavior? After waiting a few more minutes, we left. This is one place I will not be coming back to. Sad because - again - it was a place we used to enjoy coming to. read more

I stopped in for lunch with my sister. We sat at the counter, which I always love. The place was very busy with people dining in and with a tremendous number of carry out orders. We both ordered breakfast- specialty French toast and a breakfast skillet. The food was delicious and the service friendly and prompt. read more

My husband and I were in the area to visit family and The Cittus Cafe was located close by our hotel so why not try it out! This building has been along the river in Janesville for a long time, a staple. It was the Riverside restaurant for a long time. We stopped in for breakfast. The dining room was open for in person dining, the tables were spaced to allow for social distancing and the service was prompt and friendly. After reviewing the menu, I decided on 2 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. Holy Moly the portions are huge! I couldn't eat it all! The eggs were cooked to my liking, 5 strips of crispy bacon, half a plate of hashbrowns. Bring your appetite for sure. I had a tall glass of their fresh squeezed OJ. We were happy we tried Citrus Cafe and will stop hack when we are in the area. read more

Amazing food, short wait times, great staff, and a nice vibe! The only downside is that it gets pretty busy at around 9:00 AM, but any time around that should be perfectly fine! I recommend this restaurant a ton! read more

New to the area, wanted to find a good quality breakfast place nearby. This place is amazing- my nickname is butters because i love butter so much but this butter for the french toast is THE best I've ever tried (note: I also have worked in lots of breakfast places over the years so I've tried a lot of butter in my life). Service was polite & food came out quickly. They have mimosas which is always a plus. Wait was only 5/10 minutes once & another time we were seated right away (around 11) however I haven't come in early on a Sunday. Only thing is that the one omelette didn't quite meet my groups expectations. Love this place & plan to stick with it! read more

Kitchen is together. Cashier kind of authoritarian. Need better lighting in men's room. I told him about this nothing got done my last trip. They should expand hours. I don't get up much before 3:00 p.m. read more

Excellent food and great service! Very quickly served hot and fresh! Go give them some of your money

Early morning service is mediocre. Waitstaff seem to cater the regulars providing attentive service to them and then barely attend to the needs of other non-regular customers read more

Classic breakfast/lunch options. Sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups, burgers-- as well as breakfast: pancakes, waffles, omelettes, scrambles etc Popular spot-- plan to wait at normal mealtimes. Visit the awesome library right next door! Great carry-out too. read more

Great food! Super fast. We came on a Sunday at about 10am. They were busy and people were waiting. There were only 2 of us and there was room at the counter. We were in and out within 30 min. The florentine omelet was really good. I suggest getting it "fluffy". Also, no cheese needed. They made dairy free scramble and had gluten free bread option. read more

Do you want the best breakfast in Wisconsin? Because this is it. Pinecone comes close, but between the service, the variety and the amount of food, Citrus Cafe wins. Love you guys thank you for the hard work. read more

This is a nice little cafe. This is the first time I've been here since it was the Riverside Restaurant. They kept a lot of rhe same decore, but spruced it up a little. The waitress was pleasant and prompt. I ordered breakfast, eggs, toast, sausage and, hashbrowns. Everything was good the price was average for what I ordered. Unfortunately I don't live in the area or I weuld frequent this cafe. read more

Always great food! Breakfast or lunch! Fluffy or flat omelette. Wraps and sandwiches surprisingly good. Excellent service too!

Absolutely do not suggest coming here. Came here on my day off, and spend well over $50 for my family. Got cold food, and they didn't even apologize for it. Not to mention the waiter was as rude as they come read more

Amazing flavor and large portions. I will definitely make a retrun stop when i am thru the area again. The chorizo Benedict was a great mix. read more

Alway enjoy coming here for breakfast or lunch. They have a large menu to choose from and the orange juice is freshly squeezed.

Was exactly what you want from a diner. Good and quick food with good and quick service. Full house of people always leads me to believe they're worth it and it was tried true here read more

Orange juice and food is great. Family friendly. Server was also great. I have two little kids and its is a great experience every time I go

This was our first time visiting the citrus cafe and this place was absolutely packed when we arrived. Every person on the staff was still extremely friendly despite being busy which was great. We ordered the Ole omelet and the Irish eggs Benedict both of them were just okay. Our food came out on colder side. My husband's omelet was over cooked, a bit past golden brown and his avocado was an odd color. My eggs Benedict I feel like the hash should've been cooked more and my plate was sorely in need of something fresh. This is something I noticed when looking around at the other tables. Since it was called the citrus Cafe maybe something as simple as a couple of orange slices as garnish would have been nice. All and all this place was alright. If we visit Janesville again we might consider going back but there was nothing special about the food. I feel like we could've made these just as good at home. read more

Service at its finest. Healthy portions. Had the Avocado BLT Omelette. Bacon spinach and tomato. I requested well done and that is exactly how it came out. It came with a side of hash towns and toast which they had a gluten free choice available for an up-charge. I also prefer half caf. They server remembered to rotate throughout my entire breakfast. She was on top of it. read more
