    Meatloaf dinner w/2 sides tasty & reasonably priced
    Bruce M.

    Sunday Noon packed house, local after church folks, good solid menu, friendly attentive staff, great American food entrees. Enjoyed a clean diner atmosphere. Well put-together Meatloaf classic w/2 sides was genuinely 4 star, generous portion of broccoli from a bag, side salad was fresh - all in all very worthwhile stop when passing thru and nothing but a local diner will do.

    Tried this new place in between appointments this morning. Service was superb. Our server checked on us frequently as did another server when she saw us looking around and came to see if we needed anything. As much food as you get, we could have totally shared a meal. Hubby had the meat lovers skillet with sour dough toast. He asked for sausage gravy on top of his skillet. He said it was flavorful and meshed well. I had the senior-size (2 eggs) Denver omelet with grits and pancakes. As you can tell by the photos, they like butter on their grits as much as I do! The omelet was so good with crisp tender peppers and onions. The pancakes had a slight malt flavor. All of our food was tasty! The restaurant was clean and quiet with a central location in Appleton. Definitely would return!

    Hash browns were a bit raw, sandwich was good! Restaurant was very clean, service was good!

    In the tradition of small town diners, this is right on par. Nothing fancy, but all the essential breakfast items can be found on the menu. Very friendly service.Not from Wisconsin but my brother -in-law is and he agrees that it was satisfactory

    5 star menu! I miss Wisconsin food!! Cheese curd burger, squeak squeak! (I think. I'm not ordering it, I'm just pointing it out.) Oh my word go a couple hours north of IL and hit this little gem, eat like a local!

    We went earlier in the day but really wanted lunch and it was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. It was cool to seat ourselves so we were able to sit in a booth by the windows. The food was perfectly portioned and delicious. To top it off the two meals were under $30.

    Supposed to be poached hard

    I ordered oatmeal,one egg poached HARD, toast & bacon. The oatmeal came out first then 10 minutes later the rest of my food came out. When im the only person ordering food, i would like all my food to come out at once! Although the food was GOOD, other then the poached egg that was under cooked, service was fair. No one came back to the table to ask how it was. Kind of disappointed for the very first visit. Don't know if i will come back? Might give it a second chance could be a fluke ‍

They do have off street parking but during peak hours the lot gets pretty slammed. Service: Fast and friendly and all of our orders were correct. They refilled coffees and water frequently. Food: Yum! Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. I had a breakfast item off the menu and I can't wait to come back to try a lunch item as well. Everyone at our table was beyond happy with their food and stuffed full. This might be my new little diner spot if this type of repeat food/service continues!

After we ordered the food took about 20 minutes to come out. (Breakfast food that doesn't take that long) when the food was brought out I was expecting it to be very hot and fresh but it was like it was sitting under a warming lamp for a while. Never was checked in on or was able to get refills on drinks until our check was brought over. Overall the place wasn't bad but it would not come close to being in my first thoughts to go somewhere.

The stainless steel diner has been well cared for and updated enough to make it more comfortable for staff and customers. There are some tables out front and two different seating areas inside (it's bigger than it looks). All the cooking is done behind the counter, where you can see it all happening. It can be a bit noisy as the metal spatulas hit the grill, but you can still have a reasonable conversation. It's a busy place, and the servers are efficient, with a no nonsense approach to taking your orders. The menu is large, with lots of traditional favorites (no avocado toast here). There were two pages of breakfast items, and it was a tough decision. We ordered a number of different items: corned beef hash, pancakes, and potato pancakes with eggs and sausage. It did not take very long to get our food. Very good portions, everything was plenty hot, and all flavorful. Everyone was happy with their choices. The corned beef hash was not the kind you get from a can. It was large, fresh pieces. The pork sausages were plump and well seasoned. The poached eggs were perfect. My only complaint: I ordered my potato pancakes extra crispy, but they didn't seem "extra" to me (extra extra crispy next time). The regular pancakes were good, but not fluffy enough to be "excellent". A very nice place for breakfast, and somewhere we would return to.
