Mannys was a pleasant surprise the typical diner with oversize portions and very reasonable prices and definitely consider sharing an omelette with two maybe three people. Excellent for breakfast or lunch. read more

Do not let the line out the door deter you from stopping in! We first made that mistake but I'm glad we decided to stop in the next morning while we were in town. Even though the line was out the door, I think our total wait time was less than 10 minutes. Manny and his team work extremely fast - which is evident by not only the short wait time but the fact that you actually get to watch Manny in action cooking each order. Besides the hometown feel, friendly staff and retro-diner feel with the kitchen open and visible to all patrons, the food is amazing and the portions are massive. Our table ordered the breakfast burrito, an omelet and the cinnamon French toast pancakes and they were all so delicious. Additionally, I noticed that Manny always kept a meticulously clean prep station at all times even while cooking a large number of breakfast orders. If a Manny's Snack Shack opened near me, I'd be the first person in line. read more

Always fantastic! Manny is a sweetheart, and the food never disappoints! Been going there for as long as I can remember and will always be special to our family! read more

Old school clean diner like from 1960's. Great food. Ordered standard fare- three eggs and sausage. Received four eggs And four of the biggest sausage links I have ever seen. Rye toast is really tasty. Wish I lived in the neighborhood to go more often. Great service. read more

Not impressed! Food was ok, I can get the same mediocre breakfast at ihop... Sure the portions are huge BUT this place is filthy!! The older woman taking names at the door isn't very pleasant either! What an ugly scowl on her face! Of course we stopped in on a busy Sunday, but our table wasn't cleaned for us and we had to step over pancakes on the floor and a puddle of milk, sick! The people in this town must not get out much because they were dressed like they were coming out to a cheap club! read more

If Manny's had a place in River North I would never go to another breakfast place. You gotta get that I love Yolk, Meli's, Nookies, Tempo, Orange, etc.. But Manny's is a classic! Manny himself is a virtually short order machine. You should see this guy work the grill. He works so fast and furious that he is usually very sweaty. I wanted to offer up a handkerchief. I modify the already near-perfect grilled cheese, by adding a slab of ham and two fried eggs. What a sandwich! An order of outstanding extra crispy hash browns on the side and I have come as close to a FOOD-GASM as is possible in this lifetime. My friends also go gaga over the other breakfast and lunch offerings. And cheap! Whoa! If you are within 50 miles of Twin Lakes, you must come here. If you have a short wait, don't leave. It is worth it to stay!!!! read more

Very busy in summer, but line moves very quick. Many food items take up 3 plates per person. Nobody should walk away hungry. Very small inside but well worth the trip! read more

Oh boy! Make sure you wear your elastic waisted pants when you go to Manny's. No matter what you order, it will be enough food for you and a friend. My buddy and I split a Denver omelet, biscuits and gravy, and a side of corned beef hash. There was enough left over for 2 to-go boxes. The biscuits were great. Not too light and fluffy, but not too dense. The gravy had plenty of sausage in it and tasted amazing. They weren't afraid to load up the biscuits. The omelet is most certainly more than the advertised 2 eggs. I would venture to guess it has a half dozen eggs. The cook sure does know how to man a griddle. I am fairly certain he could produce a quality breakfast for a small army with his eyes closed in minutes. Sit at the counter for the entertainment of watching him cook. The place was packed while we were there, but there was not delay in getting our food. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I ate lunch here yesterday. This was my second visit. I had a cheeseburger and fries. On my first visit I had a bacon cheeseburger. I didn't get the bacon this time because there was just too much if it. It was piled high with bacon. Yesterday I sat at the counter so I could watch my food being made. Manny is a machine, several orders at once, arms and spatulas flying. Great entertainment. My half pound burger was done just right. Dripping juice and fat down my arm, the way a diner burger should. It was really very good. The fries were also very tasty. A cook can easily ruin a burger, but not here. Manny knows what he's doing. The atmosphere is fun, cramped and filled with regulars. I will definitely be back. Breakfast looked huge and good. Can't wait to bring my wife. read more

Loved this place. It was like the same place I used to go as a kid 20 years ago! They give you a ton of food and the milkshakes are still awesome read more

Manny's Snack Shack - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Twin Lakes, Wisconsin

It is what it is and don't expect anything more. The breakfast is good and it is massive. Anyone who leaves hungry has bigger issues. My son got a short stack of pancakes and all three of us probably could have shared them. I had the corned beef hash and have to admit it was a little raw, but I'd didn't ask for crispy so now I know. The eggs are doubled - so if you ask for one egg - you get two. Two eggs = four and etc. It is a very popular place and always crowded. We will definitely be going back for a good, quick, homemade greasy spoon breakfast! read more

One of the few places my WHOLE family LOVES,and doesn't break the bank. They don't take names and you wait for your own table. It's old school, great portions, laid back fun, and a welcoming atmosphere. Will return again and again. read more

Manny's Snack Shack - French toast, eggs, choco chips pancakes. ONE egg scrambled and a bottle of ketchup for the little guy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Twin Lakes, Wisconsin

The food is absolutely amazing but unfortunately they've changed the menu design and it's very confusing! It's written in cursive, and colored in black and white. It looks way too fancy for the theme of the place. The prices also went up, I spent about $5 more than I usually would have. I drive up there every so often from Chicago and I'm not sure I will go as often anymore. They need to go back to the old menus, nothing was wrong with them, so why change them? read more

Really cute location with great food. The new menu is grossly overpriced. Paid 40 bucks for two french toast with eggs and bacon. Not worth the price. read more

this place is completely epic. this is entirely how diner breakfast and lunch should be done. a massive menu and massive portions that are realll healthy ;) my favorite thing is the cinnamon roll french toast! read more

See all

Great food, large portions and great prices. A friendly family owned restaurant! It's a small restaurant so get there early for breakfast,

What can I say about Manny's. Good food, incredibly fast service and friendly staff. A small, unassuming independent diner with huge portions. Menu is simple with classic breakfast items like omelettes and pancakes. My friend ordered biscuits and gravy, and I an omelette. No sooner had I ordered that the food had come. Never before have I seen a larger 2 egg omelette. The biscuits and gravy were incredible, but also a huge portion. Everything was cooked perfectly and quickly. Definitely recommend stopping by this gem. read more

Quintessential Wisconsin lake town greasy spoon of a diner. Oodles of cool/odd/holy artifacts lining the walls, friendly no-nonsense staff, and no-nonsense not healthy but quite tasty (and yes, ginormously portioned) grub. Today was our first visit here; We ordered and I kid you not our food arrived in about two minutes time - & the place was hoppin'! Good coffee served in nice big mugs, too! We will be back! read more

Great spot, should be on DDD. The cinnamon roll french toast is amazing! read more

Best breakfast within a 20 mile radius. You always get mounds of food. The staff is polite and fast and Manny is fun to watch on the grill. 10/10 best greasy spoon breakfast I have ever had. read more

You can always count on a terrific breakfast and friendly staff at Manny's. Huge portions at a more than fair price. Will always be a favorite. read more

A locals favorite for breakfast. Bring your appetite, the food is good and portions are generous. Wait staff is always prompt, attentive and friendly. Take note though the building is small so if you come during peak hours you may have to wait a bit but completely worth it. read more

Giant food portions are well worth your money. Scrumptious and quickly served. The couple of times we have been there the service has been prompt and the waitress was very nice. I like that you can see the food being prepared in front of you at the griddle/stove. It is always super busy in the morning hours and tables are close together, so be prepared for that. My family doesn't mind. read more

Such a little gem! This is small, old-school diner which is only open for breakfast and lunch. Old wood paneling with pictures, t-shirts & other tchotchkes adorning the walls. A cornucopia of flavored coffee creamers are waiting for you at the table. Super menu options - remember this is an old-school diner so they're keeping it basic. You won't find basil creme filled crepes on the menu here. The biscuits and gravy are fantastic. Their 'garbage' omelet will feed at least two people. It is ginormous! This place is well worth the drive if you live in northern Lake County, IL. read more

Awesome food, fast and friendly service at a low price. What more can you ask for! The pancakes are super yummy, not dry at all. Hash browns are crispy, bacon crispy,. Great place. read more

This place is fantastic, food out this world and prices are great We have been going here for the last 3 of 4 years, always a got to place when were out for a ride/drive in the country. Its a real treat to watch Manny at the griddle. I'm hoping a piece of food will of fly off and I'm able to catch it I'm my mouth (as sometimes stuff does go airborne) The only warning make sure you get plenty of exercise the day after as he portion's are huge ;-) read more

Dont get me started on Mannys place. Good food alot of good food. Reasonable prices. Almost dont know how he makes any money with all the food you get for the price. Atmosphere is awesome Manny keeps his place hoppin. Definitely a place to go but be prepared to wait for a table. read more

Manny what happened ? The price increase, the nostalgia of the decor is gone. The new menu sucks? If it's not broken don't fix it. Now the high prices - many of us now go to mad dans Bring back the receipt of success you created - it's ok to make a mistake- fix it now or your business will continue to decline by word of mouth read more

Absolutely love Manny's one of my favorite breakfast joints in the twin lakes area. Such a great and cute restaurant!

Looks a little dumpy from the outside (and to be fair, the interior won't wow you either), but who needs ambiance when you have a wonderful creation like cinnamon butter waiting for you? Lovely stuff. Pretty standard diner fare, but I think they're known for their cinnamon rolls and butter. read more

We ordered carry-out during COVID-19 restrictions and our 3-egg omelets came up to a whopping $36.00! For eggs, hashbrowns and toast! C'mon! We love Manny and wanted to support the local business during the pandemic, but this seemed a little like price gouging. While we appreciate that there may be some additional costs involved with serving during the pandemic we have not been back since. Considering this was a take away order and no personal service was provided the cost did not match quality. We recommend you proceed with caution (and an open wallet)! read more

Manny's was amazing, and if you are going through the twin lakes area STOP. I came by at a bit after 11am so I was out of luck on my biscuits and gravy. This was a pisser, but my over all experience was still amazing. The place was slammed, so I ate at the counter. The staff was friendly and trying to keep up with the rush. Manny was behind the counter, dancing his ass off the entire time he was cooking. I latter heard from a friend that short order cooks do this in order to keep their legs limber and able to work through the shift. Many will not stop dancing the entire shift. I had the 2 x 2 x 2 with bacon, and pancakes. The pancakes looked a bit different that I am used to but they were supper good, as was everything I had. The whole experience has me looking forward to trying to get there before 11am on a weekday so that I can get in and try the bng. read more

Best little breakfast and lunch diner outside of Chicago. Huge portions. Excellent food. And Manny is a delight to watch at the griddle. A true master. Go hungry. Don't be a whimp. Order the pecan cinnamon roll french toast and die happy. read more

The best. I mean seriously. You can't beat this place. It's always busy so plan ahead! It is amazing!!!

I came here with the family and was very satisfied with our experience. The music and staff made me feel like I was on vacation. The music had a great upbeat and relaxed vibe and the staff was very diligent. Manny is a wizard on the grill. I was amazed to see the speed of this man cook for the whole place. Our food came out in no time at all and was very delicious. read more

Good food, quick and great service. Huevos Rancheros were huge (could feed two people easily) and delicious.

Had another great breakfast at Manny's. Very generous portions and everything was cooked very well. The service from our waitress was excellent, and the staff was sporting Christmas/Holiday clothes for the season. read more

If you want to light $70 on fire for breakfast for a family of 5. Unimpressive food and subpar service and tip included in the bill so we couldn't even speak with our pocket book. My husband and I have 30 years combined in foodservice front and back of the house so we know what to expect from a restaurant. read more

THE best breakfast around. Manny's Snack Shack has been in Twin Lakes for a long time. The food here is delicious, the service is FAST, and everyone is happy when the enter and leave because they know it's gonna be a great day after visiting Manny's. read more

Manny's Snack Shack - Our lunch with the Juchs and my Mother at Manny's was awesome (as always)!! Thanks for staying open later than usual Manny! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Twin Lakes, Wisconsin

Been going to the Snack Shack on summer weekends since before Manny took it over, and I'm so glad he did! We love to sit at the counter and watch him work! He, and his two metal spatulas, are very impressive on busy weekend mornings. Everything is delicious and the portions will leave you full for the rest of the day! Manny's is as big a part of Twin Lakes as the water, boating, summer homes, the Aquanuts, and all the other great things that make the Twin Lakes area so very special! Hope Manny's is around for many more years. Just visited on Labor Day for the last time this summer, will miss his breakfasts over the long winter...see ya in 2016! read more
