    Great classic diner vibes. Prices I think are very reasonable and plenty of people at tables which I think is a great sign of a great diner. I wanted to order the special of the day which was the fried chicken but my waitress made me feel she didnt want me to order them by saying "This would be an additional 20 minute wait. Are you sure that you want to make your table wait for your food?" So I decided on the sampler since I knew this would be my one time at the diner since we were visiting. BBQ sauce was a little too hot for my liking but loved their ranch and their cheese curds were very good! Thought the breading on my onion rings were good and complimented the onion well. The chicken tenders were just okay. Just regular chicken tenders.

    Always great food and service. Casual diner type atmosphere with extensive menu at reasonable prices.

    "Irish" Benedict

    Great great spot. You might have to wait but well worth it! Staff was on their game. Some great selections. I had the Irish Benedict and would order again

    The food here is delish! I've been here for breakfast and for dinner before. I loved that the menu is expansive but the food is really no frills. It's so good too. My fish was super yummy! I also had the clam chowder with it which was delicious. The restaurant is close to my grandparents home and it was nice that the staff knows them and treats them like royalty. It meant the world to us. It's the best diner nearby and we will return!

    Was a cute place in a small town. We were greeted right away and sat at a table up top. Our server was fantastic she was attentive and easygoing. We have 5 people. We ordered country fried steak and omelets and sprinkle pancakes. The steak was fantastic gravy was just ok. So I was glad I did not get the biscuits and gravy. The pancake looked fabulous and was enjoyed by the child every one had a great meal and was great price. Worth the trip

    Great food, quick service, pleasant atmosphere and parking was easy. The service requires special mention because it was spot on. Every time something was needed , there Laura our waitress was and she came back moments after serving to see if we needed anything else. She could not have been more attentive.

    Nice fluffy pancakes and hash browns were very good.

    I've eaten here a number of times and the service and food is very good. I've only come here for breakfast or lunch - not dinner. Those folks looking for a more reasonably priced meal than Lake Geneva restaurants or the nearby Abbey Resort offer would be happy they made the short drive. The breakfast and lunch food here is every bit as good or better and the service is outgoing and friendly.

I always thought it was fine though not memorable, just your standard buffet, but I've read that they have new owners and I can tell the difference. Now, I can definitely see being a regular here, and coming to check out their other offerings too other than just brunch. Everything I tried was perfectly made, from the prime rib to the eggs benedict (really great!) to the desserts. Even the champagne was excellent! And the service was next level. My brother uses a walker and they gave us a choice of tables (any of them would have worked) and were so helpful in every respect (even accommodating his special request for something that wasn't on the buffet - they have saintly patience!). They were all just so NICE - having just moved back to the midwest from the west coast, I'm still getting used to midwesterner niceness, but even with that everyone here was exceptional. I'm looking forward to coming back not just for brunch, but also bringing friends back for the fish fry, which also sounds great. And for old-fashioneds!

Boats pulled up to the dock and people joined in the fun from there too. We happened to come in during the Bash on the Bayou event which indicated a seafood boil and live music. Unfortunately, we could not find any indication of the time of the event so when we arrived at 6:30 and asked, they indicated it ended at 7pm so we could not partake. The price for that was $45 per person, fyi. So we ordered from the menu. The Italian Porkchops were dry (overcooked) and not the most enjoyable flavor. The Walleye was a bit dry but good enough and the mashed potatoes were good. The "caprese salad" was just meh. The drink (the Pink Pig Punch) was good albeit a little sweet. In fact, if you don't normally like whisky, this might actually work for you. The staff was friendly and attentive, even with how busy it was. There were a few inebriated folks that nearly fell down the stair or spilled drinks if that gives any indication of the 'fun' being had ;) There is indoor and outdoor seating and the place has a fun vibe. But the food was mediocre, especially for the prices. Go for the fun and drinks but maybe skip the pricey meals.

It is one of the vintage-looking buildings, painted blue with green striped awnings. It has great curb appeal and feels very welcoming. There are outside café tables and plenty of seating inside for different size groups. Not only are they a coffee house, but they serve a wide-ranging menu of foods, and there are grocery items you can purchase, including dairy, eggs, and meats. They also carry many other items that make great gifts. I got a very friendly greeting from the cashier. I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, and extra foam) in a mug. The blueberry scones looked amazing, so I got one of those as well. They make all their bakery on-site. Everything was excellent, with lots of microbubbles in the latte. Plenty of blueberries in the scone, and it had the right texture (dry and a little crumbly). I forgot to bring my book along, but they have a very eclectic selection, so I was able to peruse some titles I had not seen before. Overall, another great experience.
