Delicious. If you like a kick, ask for the house salsa. I saw the seeds so definitely passed but my husband said it was really good. We chose pancakes and English muffins as our side. The muffin was ok but think we'll get the sourdough next time. Coffee was solid for a diner. Warning to anyone with lactose intolerance- they do not have alternate milk options. They also had a huge display of cakes and pies. They looked great so we got a few to try at home. Overall, it was a great experience. Waitress was really nice. It's not an aesthetic spot. It is an original diner that shows its decades of life - worn but clean! Will be back!

The establishment is very well kept and has a nice home feeling to it. All of the workers had fantastic attitudes and were very nice. I had the Chorizo skillet and it was fantastic. I really enjoyed the meal. I also ordered a cinnamon roll for our table to share and OMG, it was soooo good. Definitely try it. Very tasty and the seasoning was on point. It came with pancakes. I definitely suggest to give this establishment a try, you won't be disappointed.

Service was solid throughout. We started with mocktails, which were well made, along with breadsticks and calamari -- both excellent. The clam chowder was also very good. My wife had the salmon and it came out amazing. I went with the fried walleye and potato wedges -- the wedges were great, but the fish itself got a bit soggy underneath, more baked-texture than crispy-fried. I don't doubt it was fried, it just didn't have the crispness you want from fresh fried fish. Honestly, I think fried fish might be better left to the Wisconsin supper clubs. That said, one so-so dish isn't enough to sour the visit -- everything else we had was great, and I'm sure there are plenty of other dishes here they've mastered. We'll definitely be back, just won't order the walleye again.

It was saucier and with less noodles than I am accustomed to with a decent amount of veggies. I ordered it spicy and the first bite made me cough lol. I got what I asked for. I'll try the medium next time but I made my way through the entire dish, sauce and all and it was delicious. The spring rolls left something to be desired. It was still a tasty option with the condiment provided. The spring roll on its own would have been too bland for me without the sauce. I would order it again though as a nice vegetarian option with it only having cabbage. I definitely look forward to the next visit and further making my way through their delicious menu. See you again soon!

We walked in, the place was relatively empty. There were two people at the bar. We proceeded to order the pretzels with beer cheese sauce which was delicious. The I ordered the California Chicken sandwich with chips and my hubby got the gyro with chips. My son joined later and had some pretzels with cheese sauce and a Dr. Pepper. My husband and son were both satisfied with their meals. I WAS NOT! The Crispy Chicken was not very crispy and it was so over cooked that I could barely bite into it. My husband asked me not to say anything. But I saw the server look right at my plate and walk away. In addition, she asked me how I liked the sandwich to which I replied and explained. "It is still sitting on the table. I walked in here hungry and now I'm leaving hungry." Sad ... new owners! We will not return.
