    Food: typical diner foods including breakfast foods, sandwiches, burgers, melts, and other items such as meatloaf or liver and onions. Personally, I only patronize this restaurant for breakfast and I usually order the 'gyro and eggs.' My husband typically orders one of the breakfast skillets on the menu. Everything tastes decent, but not something I'd rave about. Beverages include coffee, juices, sodas, mimosas, and even beer. Service: Could certainly use improvement, but the service industry has taken a large hit post-Covid, so I guess I should be glad that they have humans who show up for work. Waitresses lack any amount of enthusiasm, and the female owner sometimes serves as the front cashier, but her demeanor isn't inviting (I've sensed this on more than one occasion). Value: okay, but I've read others reviews, and now feel like I need to pay more attention to my receipts now. Paying extra for toast with a meal that says it's included is wild ! Ambiance: 1950's retro themed- think white and black checkered flooring and Elvis Presley! Women's bathroom could use a facelift Location: Located within a strip mall in the wind point/ Caledonia area of Racine, WI. In the same lot as a Pick-N-Save grocery store. Ample free parking. 5121 Douglas Avenue, Racine, WI, 53402 Hours: typical diner hours 7am-2pm daily.

    Superb Broiled Wild Salmon w/onion rings purchased separately.

    What is this??? Holes in the container? Absolutely disgusting! Who runs the kitchen? What kind of germs did I just consume? I got food poisoning from this establishment frombthe containing being contaminated see photo. We are never coming back; and after reading the health score 92/100 with details about the score is disgusting. People eat here, so clean and keep it clean like your feeding yourself!!!

    Classic American diner fare. Great food, friendly and quick service, cool 50's/60's decor. Ate breakfast here three days in a row and would go back tomorrow. It doesn't look like much from the outside thanks to the shuttered K-Mart next door, but once you step inside you will be transported to a simpler time.

    Menu items are overpriced, use to be good but really dropped off. Charges extra for things you would just expect to get. Not good.

    This place is an absolute gem and worth burning a little gas to get to. The food was outstanding…read moreand the staff somehow managed to be both wildly efficient and genuinely warm, like they actually enjoy being there. I ordered the half garbage plate with sausage and bacon. Pro tip: ask the difference between the half and the whole before you commit. The half comes with three eggs. The whole comes with five. Five. I chose wisely. Oh and don't forget the homemade bread smothered in butter! It's clearly a neighborhood staple. People were greeting each other by name, swapping stories across tables, and operating like they've been meeting there every Saturday since 1974. Thankfully, they extend that same friendliness to random out-of-towners who just wandered in hungry. The vibe is energetic and communal, the kind of place where conversations overlap and nobody seems to mind. It has a modern, eclectic feel, but there's also a subtle time-machine quality to it. Like you stepped into the 1960s, just with better coffee and fewer ashtrays. Perfect blend of nostalgic and now.

If you're a snobby person or someone with tons of food allergies don't come here. They are irrelevant in a very good way. I would stick to the basics here. My friend got the cheeseburger with fries and it was perfect. They have fresh meat, no frozen patties. I got the half order of biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs and it was perfect diner style food. The portions are huge so a half order was way more than enough. My friend had the roast beef omelette and I wouldn't recommend it because the beef was in chunks and was full of gristle. However, everything else was terrific. I didn't have the garbage plate because the portion was huge but it's on my list for next time. Maybe I'll split it with someone because you need to come hungry. Prices are very reasonable but it's cash only.

    Thank goodness for Denny's at 3AM on a long road trip. This place was DEAD when we arrived; no one…read moreelse but us three were there, lol. The location is pretty sizeable with lots of tables and chairs, especially for one that's connected to a gas station rather than being its own building. The single waitress looked incredibly bored, unsurprisingly. She was attentive to us while we were there though. Our food took a little longer to get to us after ordering than I'm used to, but I'd bet the time of night was to blame for that. No biggie. We weren't able to order milkshakes apparently due to the time of night. I decided to try one of their silly promotional items off the He-Man menu that they were advertising everywhere. The pancakes with the mint chocolate chip ice cream on top. It was actually pretty good. Also affordable; gotta love Denny's on the affordability scale! Especially in our current economy. Very few places you can still eat out and not feel the pinch. In the lobby there's a bunch of crane machines for plushies and toys, as well as a mural welcoming you to Oak Creek Wisconsin that makes for a silly photo op if you wanna document your road trip journey. Bathrooms can be accessed in the adjoining gas station.
