My kids and I stopped here while we were in town. Being the off season we were able to walk right in and get seated on a Saturday morning. My boys shared the 3 pancakes and bacon and my daughter and I shared the bacon omelette with toast. Everything was good and our waitress was efficient. We got a cinnamon roll to go. The decor and atmosphere make this place. read more

A very interesting diner. . Simple breakfast food in a fun environment with trains, a phone booth, flying tightrope toy moving above the tables. Music and actor memorabilia and incredible service from a hard working server. A great family diner for breakfast. Food was just ok but good and satisfying when you're hungry. read more

Was up in the Dells closing up our place for the season and was looking for a quick bite on our way home,so passed Denny's,and said,why not? Little did I realize what a good choice it was.I've been to many different Denny's before and it was ok,but nothing special.This time it was anything,but average.We were seated promptly by Jennifer (a very friendly and attentive waitress) and looked over the extensive menu.Was in the mood for a burger, so I ordered the Bacon Bourbon burger and onion rings (slight extra charge) instead of fries.In what seemed like no time,our order appeared,hot and juicy ( my wife ordered the chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese,both outstanding).The onion rings were to put it mildly, awesome!! Crispy on the outside and hot on the inside,and had a really really great flavor and a creamy ranch dipping sauce that was perfect for them, Some of the best I've ever had.The burger was well cooked and had it's own great taste as well Service was spot on and prompt and couldn't have been better.All in all a great meal at a really good price too boot.Denny's has upped their game(at least in Lake Delton) and if this is any indication of their quality, we'll definitely be back!! Denny's,who knew?? read more

We were in town for a baseball tournament and for once we didn't have an early morning game. Came here and had a great breakfast. All the standards, all done well. Server was on top of her game and we didn't have to ask for refills or extra stuff. It is cash-only so just make sure you have it before you get there. There is an ATM however, I image the service charge will get ya good. read more

Good food. Excellent cinnamon rolls. Price was acceptable. The cash only is hard but I get it. Wait is a little slow but they are busy. So A in my book. Will be back. read more

The decor was super fun, the baked goods looked awesome and the service was great on a crazy busy holiday Sunday AM. I was not a huge fan of the seasoning on the American fries and the eggs were scrambled hard, but the bacon was the best I had in years. read more

We were on vacation and this spot was recommended. Had a little wait but not terrible. Had the corn hash and it was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Pies were really good. The ambience is unreal and worth it just for that. Highly recommend this place. read more

We were seating quickly, the décor is so fun/quirky, our server was super friendly and patient, and our food was good! No complaints here.

A fun little gem! This restaurant has been around since 1980 and has so many fun, kitschy things to explore! I loved just looking around and seeing all of the things they had over the years. A lot of fun for an 80s kid! Service was fantastic and super friendly! The cinnamon rolls were quite tasty! Next time I would definitely get the caramel apple roll because it sounds divine. My biscuits and gravy were yummy and hashbrowns were good, a little onion-y, but tasted great! If you're not a fan of onion, avoid the hashbrowns, but still highly recommend this place! read more

My family and I had breakfast for the first time at Denny's Diner this morning. Coffee is 4.00 a cup! Chocolate milk is 3.50 for a small glass. So expensive!! The cinnamon roll needed more cinnamon, and the frosting was absolutely horrible, nasty. It was just pure powdered sugar. Not worth the money at all. The portions of food were decent size. The sausage was over cooked. The bacon was so chewy it wasn't eatable. The "fresh" strawberries is canned. Gross. Definitely will not eat at Denny's Diner again. Hard pass. Our server was super busy, she has way too many tables. She was so overwhelmed. There are about 20 tables in the diner. Not a big establishment at all. ONLY ACCEPTS CASH. ATM located inside. read more

Cute but small place. Went off season late morning with no wait. Good food for the price. Something to try

When we visit this area we always have to stop here for breakfast. Service and food is so good that I hate to give a review because they are already so busy but they deserve a great review! read more

The service wasn't the best. We had to wait 45 minutes for food, which is understandable when busy but the food wasn't even hot. The so called famous hash browns were disgusting. The bacon tasted like they put salt on it, but it was just cheap. Our bill was not! When asked to speak to a manager, she had an attitude because we complained. Wow!! Won't be back for sure read more

Not sure what this place was trying to be. It's a diner but littered with random pop culture from the last 50 years. It's not distinct. Food is diner quality, don't expect something wonderful. It's cheap quality but priced a little above that. read more

My husband and I stopped for breakfast Sunday morning. We were seated right away, placed our order of eggs, American fries and sour dough toast, husband added ham to his. got our coffee right away but Waitress never came back for coffee refill. got our food, Eggs were cooked correctly but both orders of American fries were slimy, cold and not cooked through. My had hair in it. ham was burnt on the outside cold on the inside. Waitress took potatoes off our bill as she could see they were not cooked. She did offer to get a different type of Potato but we declined. We stopped at the Dennys up the road, but then continued driving to this one as i read it was family owned so I assumed it would be more elevated than a traditional Dennys. Will not be going back read more

The staff was very friendly but all the pastries were overcooked. We couldn't even reheat them as they were just overcooked and dry. We didn't get any cinnamon rolls as the ones in the case were burnt. read more

We sat down with a large party during the breakfast rush. Service was good but slow, which was to be expected. Cinnamon roll was unique and good, I'd recommend it. I also had the Ham and Cheese Omelette which was good. It's a true diner and diner atmosphere. read more

The place was packed. We only waited a couple minutes to be seated. Our waitress came right away with coffee and took our order. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was hot. Our waitress seemed to always be there every time our coffee was half gone, perfect. I appreciated the decore, it was a lot but it gave off the old school dinner vibe. read more

great atmosphere. was seated immediately, but waited 45 minutes for our order which was the special on Sunday, the Eggs Benedict. the English muffin was hard & burnt, the ham was way over cooked and the egg was fried, not poached. Had a "famous cinnamon roll"-it was doughy, but had good flavor. the service was great, our coffee cup was always full. Not sure if I will go back. read more

I came back for my 37th birthday after coming in as a kid and while I'm sure it's been updated, the train and things I remembered are still here. They still had the menu item I ate as a kid, the open faced roast beef and wow the service here is excellent! Bri is the best server we ever had anywhere, we never had to ask for anything because she brought us more drinks before we even asked for them. Watching her run around and have such control of a chaotic environment was a part of the entertainment experience. Thank you Denny's diner for the great memories! read more

On vacation with my son and the most wonderful grandson and his parents we stopped in for breakfast with the allure of best cinnamon rolls ever! We were not disappointed! My daughter and I split the corn beef hash breakfast that was delicious and then we split a cinnamon roll, it was shaped like a croissant was even more delicious. The sweetest grandson ever enjoyed watching the train and gobbled down a sampling his daddies plate. read more

Solid breakfast place and not the chain you may be thinking of. They are extremely busy during peak season, and even pretty busy during non-peak hours. We made it in by 8:30 and didn't have to wait but every customer after us did. The food was good, fairly standard breakfast. Cinnamon rolls are good. My wife and I agreed, their dough is what makes the roll. Yeasty flavor that takes you back. The variations are good too. I don't like my fried eggs cooked to a crisp with lots of brown on the bottom. They somehow get quite a bit a brown on the bottom without the egg becoming plasticky here. It was good. Sausage was also good, and the American Fries were great with a peppery seasoning. My son ate the pancakes well and my wife enjoyed the veggie omelette. Decorations are neat here, and the staff is friendly. They may not be the quickest because they are so busy, but many places in the Dells are slower. The are on one of the two main drags too so they are convenient in general. Don't forget to bring cash unless you want to pay an ATM fee. NO CREDIT CARDS. read more

Even though it's called Denny's, this diner has no affiliation with the chain. The food is higher quality and the building had lots to look at inside. I got a French vanilla latte, French toast, and bacon. All of it was great! The waitress checked on us often and was very polite. They don't take card, but there's an ATM inside to get cash. read more

I love this place and being im a 90s baby it was just awesome inside with nostalgic stuff plus great service. It's the normal diner food good some things great like the cinnamon roll it's life changing but nothing is bad it's a must coming to the dells places like this need to survive. read more

The biscuits and gravy was almost inedible and the bacon in my omelette was bacon bits, not even real bacon. The lemonade and orange juice was watered down and almost $5 for each drink. Crazy expensive and not worth it at all, avoid this place. We're extremely disappointed. Also it's cash only and the ATM was broken so good luck with that read more

Very great place to get whatever food your interested in at an affordable price. The service was great and got our food within 10 minutes which was pretty fast. The burger and fries I had was very good while the breakfast food of chocolate chip pancakes and hash browns my friend got was also surprisingly very satisfying too. I would go back if I was in town and you should check it out if you hungry and want to save a few bucks on a good savory meal! read more

Denny's Diner - Chocolate chip pancakes and hash browns with eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Delton, Wisconsin

The cinnamon rolls were not famous at all. They are stale as can be and they microwave it before giving it to you which made it harder than a rock. Everything is cash which is crazy in 2025. They have one men's bathroom and one ladies. The men's overflowed so then there was one working bathroom for 100+ people. Philly sandwhich was good and server was nice. It was unfortunately very uncomfortable and we wanted to leave really fast. read more

My kids and I were in the dells for a short holiday. We went here for breakfast ona Wednesday morning. I thought it is a wonderful diner. Super cozy with old school decorations. Loved the ambiance!! The food was delicious and the waitress was super sweet! I think this will be our breakfast spot in the Dells. read more

The food was not very good. We ordered pancakes and two of them were very hard. The biscuits and gravy were disgusting and it looked like cat food. The service was good but our waitress did not tell us that they don't take card . The place looked cool we liked the decorations but that's probably the only thing that we enjoyed. read more

If you're in the dells, this place is a must. We've been coming here for the last 20 years or so and never once disappointed. Food portions are extremely generous, great quality food, and excellent service. Ham breakfast is the bomb, and the cinnamon rolls are a requirement. We'll be back for another 20 if we hold up that long. read more

Watered down cup of orange juice for $4.50, an omlette was $17 and the bacon in it was clearly a frozen bag of bacon bits. Biscuits and gravy was a nasty canned gravy that smelled like cat food and was grainy in texture. The lemonade was also watered down but at least that cup was only $3.50. After being seated the wait time was over 30 minutes before we even ordered drinks. The place looks cool but that's the only good thing I can say about it. read more

This place looks super fun, but they only accept cash and do not accept Venmo or Zelle. Bummer!

A great breakfast. The service was fantastic. I'm glad we stopped here for breakfast.

Denny's Diner: I've been going to the Dells since I was a little kid in the 90's, but this was my first time trying Denny's famous cinnamon rolls (although my family did eat there once for breakfast sometime when I was still in middle school). The diner opened in 1980 and has been owned by the Van Schoyck family ever since. Their cinnamon rolls are baked fresh each morning and it is evident by their phenomenal flavor. Each roll is bursting with a buttery, cinnamon flavor. Not only are the rolls big, but they also have an excellent thick and chewy texture. Each cinnamon roll comes with a container of equally superb frosting. I was impressed that the sweet frosting was rather thick, but it manages to also have a perfectly runny/oozy quality to it that makes it easy to spread. For most people the amount of frosting included is sufficient, but since I have such a sweet tooth I added an extra side (just an additional $0.25, totally worth it). This place puts a beat down on Cinnabon. As it's definitely in my top three cinnamon rolls, Denny's Diner's cinnamon rolls are Doughboy approved. I just wish I tried one 25 years earlier. Doughboy_Food_Reviews *Their caramel pecan buns also look fantastic and I will definitely be back for one on my next Dells trip *Also of note, they are cash only. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if their website mentioned it (which it does not) read more

My boyfriend and I stayed the weekend in Lake Delton and saw this gem when we walked for dinner one night. It said "best cinnamon rolls" so I was intrigued. We went the next morning and we're not disappointed. I got a cinnamon roll which was very good! (Maybe not the best ever) but still amazing! And of course reasonable price! He got a big meal- and let me try it of course. It was pretty good! I really liked the ham. The environment was really cool but very busy. Someone walked in on me in the bathroom. Otherwise great food and great atmosphere! read more

The hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy was very tasty. My friend had a pulled pork sandwich and loved it. The salad was fresh and the ranch dressing was very good. We left with a box full of cinnamon rolls. Sharing those with friends and everybody loves them. They are hugh and yummy for sure! We had a nice conversation with one of the employees. So many family members working for this establishment. We really enjoyed hearing the history and love for the business. When in The Dells and you're hungry this place will take you by surprise. read more

Dennys diner has the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. They are a must order. The Carmel apple roll is my favorite. They were still in the oven when we went this time, it just goes to show how fresh they really are. You will not be disappointed! The breakfast good is great quality. The bread products like toast and English muffins are all very high quality. Great & friendly staff. We go every time we are in town. read more
