I had the pancakes and they were the BEST pancakes I've ever had!! And the service was also the best, very courteous without being pushy.

People are sleeping on this place. It doesn't have the greatest location in the world, and the building is pretty easy to overlook. But man, they are cooking some primo chow in this place. If the world were fair and people were smart, the lines out the door would be at this place instead of Golden Nest. Nothing against Golden Nest, but the food quality at Country Cafe is better, and there is no wait. There should be a wait here. There is no reason this place shouldn't be hopping every day like Gus's or Golden Nest. Sun Prairie's breakfast game is off the chart, and this place leads the pack. read more

Excellent Country Skillet with tasty prep. Staff friendly and attentive. Maybe not a "5" for everyone but much better than the avg I see here. Fresh biscuits with my meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating and parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back. read more

First time here. Little inconspicuous building in Sun Prairie near Dalys. Menu was full of items I plan to return and try. Started my adventure with the Tamales Skillet. Tasty and definitely different from other skillets I have had. We went on a quiet Saturday near closing and service was quick and friendly. read more

We wanted to go somewhere we haven't been in awhile. We were in the area, we had been there years ago so we figured why not. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We opened the door to packed waiting area and almost second guessed our decision. Quickly the two parties ahead of us were seated and we were next to be seated. ALL of the staff were very polite and friendly. We were initially. Seated at a booth, but it was a bit cramped for our liking , the hostess noticed immediately, and moved us to a table on the other side of the restaurant, which we were quite grateful for. The whole place was VERY busy, the wait staff scooting from table to table with amazing speed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though the place was packed, the noise level was quite tolerable for the Sunday breakfast rush![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My breakfast, I went for the huevos rancheros. Ever since I had them while on vacation while in Arizona, I've been on a quest to find something that compares to the dish I had in Arizona. My take/ notes on their version: 1) The tortillas were crunchy rather than warm and soft, now hear me out, not that it's a bad thing, it was just a different.... Vehicle than the one I was expecting. 2) The menu did say "spicy" tomato sauce, and being a born and raised midwesterner, they were not kidding. It definitely had a.... Kick. I'm not saying it was on fire, but it definitely gave my mouth a tingle. 3) I was really missing some refried beans with it, maaaaybe that's just what I was expecting, but.... Don't get me wrong, I still cleaned my plate like it was my last meal, but there were just a couple things I would have changed if it were a perfect meal. read more

I am giving it a 5 star rating as it hits all the buttons for a breakfast cafe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Easy to find, ample parking, clean interior with plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Greeted and seated as we entered. Menu selection was appropriate. I didn't feel the need for full options of choices as they had what I wanted. Our orders came out quick and hot. Food tasted very good. Service was on par for what it was. Only complaint was coffee was weak but it was hot and my cup was never empty. read more

I had the Cinnamon Roll French toast, which has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. It was very good. My companions had the gyros on the specials menu and the pancakes and bacon. They both really enjoyed their meals as well. The server we had was very attentive and pleasant. We will be coming back here for breakfast again! read more

My expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh and cooked reasonably well. The service is great, but the coffee leaves room for improvement... it just isn't awesome and I look for a really hardy cup of Joe at a dinner. read more

Being in a strange town.....Sun Prairie, WI thought I should eat a good breakfast. So I found the Country Cafe. Typical coffee shop with locals gathered at the counter swapping stories about farming and hunting. Got seated and ordered the Early Rise breakfast....2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 bacon strips. Had coffee while waiting and the waitress came by three times to refill before my plate came. Pretty good service I think. Food came and it was just right and tasty! Nice place very clean and well lighted with lots of parking. The waitresses were all wearing Green Bay Packers tshirts....go Packers! Reasonable prices too...out the door for $8.50 not bad! I have no problem recommending the Country Cafe! read more

We just discovered this place after the write up in madison.com. Based on the name and former ownership we never would've thought of them for dinner.... And assumed they did not serve alcohol. The pasta was quite good, fish fry decent as well. Service was fantastic and I loved supporting a family run local business. Next time I want to try the pizzas with homemade crust, salad, and lasagna. Not an extensive beer and wine list, but a little something for everyone. Good prices on beer, $3 for a hopalicious. Wine ranged between 7 to $10 for a glass. We will definitely be back. read more

This is definitely a new Country Cafe, and we have been back several times- mostly for breakfast but recently for lunch. The place is clean, and bright, with great service. We like their sausage gravy and biscuits a lot! Many offerings so something for everyone. My son enjoyed the chicken parm sandwich. read more

Delicious breakfast restaurant with great food and very friendly staff. Go their almost every morning.

Went here for breakfast. Terrible service. Waitress did not even greet us. Just came up and said "what do you want?" Not lying. Felt very snubbed by her. We ordered Bruschetta for an appetizer and wow! Did it have a lot of garlic. I did not even complain and the waitress was still unpleasant. Next came the food.. not good quality for the amount they were charging. Bad toast, country fried steak was chewy and soggy. Will not be coming back. read more

The staff and service was great. Good was all good and we were completely during our visit with the cautious accommodations.

Friendly staff and the food was good. I had the Reuben and the meat was tender. Not to much dressing and the sauerkraut was perfect. My husband's meatloaf sandwich was original and delicious. read more

Breakfast food is ok, but $5 for chocolate milk or $3 for soda? Also, please change your practice of paying at the table and you walking away with my credit card. I prefer to keep it in my eyesight so as to prevent any fraudulent activity. I mentioned it to a waitress and she walked away from me. read more

This place gives you variety from breakfast to dinner, though they close early on Sunday so be aware when planning. My favorite side, fried red potatoes...just the right size and eat them with ranch not ketchup...yummm. On this visit, I tried the steak and eggs. Got the 6oz with scrambled eggs and the red potatoes with cheddar cheese and onions. The eggs were, cooked not the custardy goodness but typical of most places. The steak was ordered medium rare and it was almost there, tasted good and the potatoes were delightful. I never had it with cheese and onions so I was guarded at first. The onions are sweet and not intrusive and the cheddar melted over it quite well. Good place for a good bargain. read more

My wife and I stopped in on an evening spur of the moment trip to Sun Prairie. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress, wife of the chef, and were seated right away. We ordered the Salmon and Cod dinners which were outstanding, and highly recommended. Yes, we did leave full, and will be coming back to try out more of the menu especially the breakfast offerings. If you like an Italian flavor this is the real deal of true Southern Italy cuisine for sure. Stop in and check this place out! read more

Looks like a typical small town diner on the outside. The service was exceptional. Nicest server I've had in a long time. The food was also very good. I had the Penne Primavera, and it tasted like something from an upscale Italian restaurant! Coffee was diner coffee, which I like (it has its own appeal). The place was spotlessly clean. I will be back for sure. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I really appreciate the food from this establishment It tastes as if it is prepared with love and the flavors are out of this world read more

New owners. They have remodeled the interior and it is bright and cheerful. However they really errored when they redid the booths. The seats are too high and now the table is a weird level. Plus they put the seats too close to the tables and now only a child or small person can fit. In attempting to add additional seating, the tables are too close. Even the waitresses are having difficulty maneuvering around them. We had to duck twice in order not to be hit by one of their trays. read more

This was our go-to family restaurant with delicious, consistent food with great, friendly service. Unfortunately, the new owners have created a very tense atmosphere and changed the food. Most of the former staff is gone and the comfort recipes are gone. Time to look for a different family restaurant. read more

Too many tables and the new booths are a tight squeeze. Good food. Had to keep ducking to not get hit by the waitresses trays they could hardly walk through the restaurant. read more

Went into the country cafe today. Food was amazing. I had the country variety. I had eggs, bacon, hash browns, French toast. It was excellent. Best breakfast I have ever had. Sunny side up eyes are hard to perfect, but country cafe did an amazing job. Best sunny side up eggs. The atmosphere was very cozy. I liked the color scheme. The staff was very welcoming. They kept checking in on me. Kept refilling my coffee. I want to go back again, and get lunch. 10/10 would recommend this place. read more

I have ordered from them twice, once country fried steak for breakfast and another time I tried the fajitas. The food is delicious! Great portions for a fair price! read more

Inexpensive, friendly, tasty diner. I was in town last week, and my friend suggested we meet up at the Country Cafe. I got the cinnamon roll french toast with a side of sausage links and coffee. We spent about three hours talking there (all the way from breakfast to lunch!) but the servers were completely gracious about it. Our grand total after downing a ton of food was a little over $12 for both of us. Yay for specials! From the outside, it is not the most scenic of restaurants, but inside is what counts! read more

Well how-deee ya'll!! Are you 90 years old? Do you live in or around Sun Prairie? Well then you must hang out at the Country Cafe! Everybody from the old folks home was here tonight. Most of the time, I love old people, and here is why. They are old enough now, that they will say what they want and not think twice, you know why? Cuz they are old, and what are you gonna do? Take away their walkers? Take the brake off their wheelchairs? Hell no you ain't! I am drawn to slightly inebriated old ladies and goofy old dudes who spend the evening talking at length about mosquitoes and hip replacements. Hey look!! There is a guy over in the corner with all his teeth on the table, and another dude with a dog hidden under the table. That man over there is pushing an empty wheelchair around in circles! It's like a geriatric wonderland, and I am Alice! The food here is just ok, but the prices are very cheap, and the service is excellent. I wanna be awesome when I'm 90. *crossing my fingers* read more

My next-door neighbor, who is 84 and has lived in Sun Prairie all her life, recommended this place for breakfast. It has some very kitschy decor (basic small-town breakfast restaurant style) with lots of gingham and wooden chickens, but I didn't care. Nothing on the menu looked very exciting, and it seemed like everything cost a dollar or two more than I would have expected. But the waitress was extremely nice, the coffee was good, and the food (I got the mushroom and cheese omelet) was great. My omelet had three (3!) kinds of cheese and lots of nice 'shrooms inside. It was terrific and also came with hash browns and my choice of toast/pancakes/muffin. I got the rye toast, as always. We got there around 8:30am (on a weekday) and almost had the place to ourselves but more people kept trickling in as we ate. read more

The food is ok and the place is too. Also what breakfast place doesn't have bottomless coffee.....this place. Unlikely we'll ever be back and we live in town here too. read more

First time here. Great food. Great service. Super clean. Not bombarded by noise polution there. We will definitely be regulars.

Not a fan. Breakfast was cold. Waitress was rude when we wanted more coffee. Really!

The whole staff was very friendly. Our breakfast was good and the service amazingly fast!

Not sure what happened here... service was aketchy, booths were filthy (could you vacuum the crevice of the sears??) Prices were up, buy the food was good... might be better places to stop ... read more

This little hometown restaurant provides excellent service along with tasty food in above average serving sizes. We'll usually go after Sunday church for brunch and have never been disappointed with anything we've ever ordered on the breakfast menu. Food is served hot and quickly, even though they're always crowded (a very good sign!), by efficient waitstaff who check on you just enough to not be intrusive or pesky but leave you feeling well looked after. The icing on this cake is the very reasonable pricing, non-smoking environment and almost best of all...no loud music to have to shout over. As a previous reviewer mentioned, it's not 'the most scenic of restaurants' but it's clean and bustling with small town goodness. I am glad to finally be able to recommend this nice little restaurant to a wider audience! read more

I live in Colorado and was returning home to Wisconsin for a wedding. So happy to find this amazing little diner off of Highway 151. A hardy old-fashioned breakfast with real food and friendly service read more

My daughter and I went to this restaurant just after 6 PM on a Saturday night and that parking lot almost completely empty. That should've tipped me off to turn around and leave. The name is country café but they served only Italian food on the menu. They should definitely change their name because I expected diner/Café food. When I decided on the lasagna I was told they didn't have it and that they didn't have time to make any more. We were the only people in the restaurant. What do you mean you don't have time to make it? The bread was undercooked and my meatballs were like very dense paperweights. The pasta was undercooked. The worst part is the prices for the food was way too expensive for what you actually got in lack of quality! I definitely will not be going here again. I also noticed on another site when I went to see the reviews that whenever they had a bad review they had several good reviews posted at the same time which gets me to believe that they are trying to pad their star ratings. I don't know why someone would come here when you can go to the Olive Garden or to any other good Italian restaurant and get better quality for same or lesser prices. read more

Country Cafe is a Sun Prairie staple. It's affordable, consistent, hearty, and pleasurable comfort food. The service is good, and friendly. They are accommodating and patient. The food is basic diner fare. There's something for everyone and you won't leave hungry. I've eaten l breakfast, lunch, and dinners here for over 20 years with my family and never had a bad meal. Some of the standouts are their waffles, fried chicken, fish dinners, and homemade soups. But really I can't think of anything that I wouldn't order again. read more
