    Great local spot for breakfast! I did drive passed it, it's pretty inconspicuous, but, after a quick u turn I found front row parking and we went inside. Seating is limited-three booths, a handful of counter seats and a table outside-so we were fortunate to walk in just as a booth opened up. From everyone else's reviews, it sounds like there can sometimes be a wait, but for us the planets aligned, and we sat pretty quickly. The menu is standard diner fare done well. If you are looking for sexy, avant-garde food, this ain't it. If you want a stick to your ribs meal that will sustain you for your adventure of the day, you are in the right place. It reminds me of how my grandma would cook breakfast, big portions, and big flavor. Bring your big appetite. Everyone is really friendly, be it the folks behind the counter or the folks in the booths. This is obviously a neighborhood favorite, and you can tell.

    Great breakfast spot, friendly service . You'll leave full. Never had anything I didn't enjoy here. Favorite is the hash browns delight. Parking available. Be prepared to wait if you come with a group. Counter seating also available.

    Hash browns and gravy, 2 eggs your way and ham

    Hubby took me to breakfast at this hole in the wall diner. Don't blink or eyes or you will miss it! Super small inside. The decor is old and booths weren't very comfortable, just needs some updating. If we are rating food alone definitely a 4 star place. Portions were great, came out hot and it was so so good!!! Our server was very friendly. Price was $40 before tip.

    Friendly waitress!

    Tiny place with lots of love. Great food, homemade. Nice service. Friendly community atmosphere!

    Huge portions! Meat and cheese omelette

    Decided to walk down here for breakfast after dropping the car off at Les Schwab for some servicing. The reviews were great and the idea of an old school diner was awesome, so we went. Immediately loved the ambiance! Totally old school, down home, small town vibes. Service was amazing and just what you'd expect from a small diner. Food was good, not great-but worth ordering again. I had the meat and cheese omelet (sausage and cheddar), side of bacon, and my wife went with the chicken breast salad with hamburger patty substituted for chicken breast, with blue cheese dressing. Omelet was HUGE! Bacon was skimpy but tasty. Salad was like one you'd make at home but still really good, hamburger Patty was bland. The hash browns were the best! So good, and they had chipotle and Jalapeño Tabasco sauce (staples in my household!), which was a nice touch.

    Wow wow wow - AMAZING breakfast at The Junction Diner in Poulsbo today. My husband and I try a new place every weekend, and today we landed at The Junction Diner. To start, this spot has so much charm and nostalgia in how it's set up. Regulars galore, Terri (the amazing server manning the entire restaurant) knew at least 75% of the people that came in by name. The food though, and that stellar chef (I didn't catch her name but man is she cool), I asked for a breakfast sandwich and for the chef to basically make me her dream sandwich. Sausage, spinach, tomato, egg, cheese, Mayo - insanely good and cooked like a grilled cheese... My love language is all things grilled cheese. My husband had a huge portion of chicken fried steak that he devoured as well. Not only was the food amazing, the banter and the people truly made our day. Prices were SO great as well, so know going in that you get a lot of bang for your buck. I'm honestly disappointed that I'm just now discovering this tiny hidden gem, but we will be back for lunch very soon. To note, they're open 6am to 2pm, closed Sundays, and small joint but lovely outdoor setup for sunny days. Thank you Terri and the phenomenal chef for such a wonderful time!

    I got the breakfast sandwich with a sausage patty and it was AWESOME!!! I took a star off because they didn't have the corned beef hash. Check it out.

    Updated menu prices. For example Veggie Omelette went from $11.99 to $16.99. Price of pie hasn't changed.

    A wise person once said, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It appears to have new…read moreownership/management that has 'lost the plot'. Sadly, The Madison Diner missed that briefing. I was eager to return to this establishment, since I haven't been here in a few years. Regrettably, today's visit was a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be good again? THE ROSES: TMD is a restaurant I dearly want to like a lot more than I do right now. For those who are retro fans, the dining space, which is an impeccably restored authentic diner, is a real treat. Restrooms are clean. The staff, while sometimes rather confused, tries hard and is pleasant. THE THORNS: It's the food, stupid. This establishment, which used to serve authentic diner cuisine now seems to be excessively 'interpreting' dishes, and they're too derivative for their own good. The most egregious example was the Chicken Fried Steak, which was battered and fried *chicken* smothered in sausage gravy. Note to the owners/chefs: they call it Chicken Fried STEAK for a reason. I ordered the biscuits and gravy instead, which was uninspired. The sausage gravy itself was quite good, but the biscuits, which they boast about, were dry and hard. I get better out of a tube of Pillsbury 'Grands' buttermilk biscuits from the grocery store. My wife's Joe's Special was also a disappointment: the chunks of overdone ground beef appear to have been diced of bits of Sysco hamburger patties, and the dish was assembled with indifference. The tomatoes were uniquely flavorless, and the whole dish was rather under seasoned. On top of it all, a request for ketchup (which should always be at the table in a diner) was forgotten, and I was still billed for the more expensive CFS rather than the Biscuits and Gravy I ended up getting. Also sorely missed were the Bloody Marys. These were a highlight. Did they decide not to renew their liquor license? THE VERDICT: All in all, a once stellar homage to diners has slid into overpriced mediocrity. The building is the same, but the soul is gone. If you want a true diner experience, I suggest you ride the ferry over to Seattle and visit either Voula's (U District) of The Chelan Cafe (West Seattle). The Madison Diner is a DINO (Diner In Name Only). Neither recommend nor discourage. Your results may vary.

    A True 1950s Diner Experience! Highly Recommended!…read more We visited the Red Apple Diner in Bremerton with our after-wedding party of 13 people for brunch, and it exceeded our expectations. Despite our large group, they accommodated everyone comfortably and provided outstanding service from start to finish. The diner completely embraces the classic 1950s era. From the décor and booths to the music and nostalgic atmosphere, it truly feels like you've stepped back in time. The restaurant was also exceptionally clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient. They handled our large group's orders with ease, kept drinks refilled, and delivered everyone's meals quickly. Our table ordered a variety of dishes including bacon and eggs, sausage and eggs, Oregon French toast, chicken and waffles, and a Reuben sandwich. Every meal looked fantastic, the portions were generous, and everything was cooked perfectly. The standout for us was the French Toast, which was easily some of the best French toast we've ever had at any diner. The chicken and waffles were excellent, and the Reuben was packed with flavor. The cheeseburger was juicy and delicious (although I personally would have skipped the grilled onions). One unique surprise was the recommended potato chip fries that came with the burger. They were thick cut, freshly made, and unlike any chips I've had before, dense chip shaped fries without being overly hard. Prices were very reasonable, with most meals around $20 or less, making it an excellent value for the quality and generous portions. Overall, the Red Apple Diner delivered fantastic food, outstanding service, a fun nostalgic atmosphere, and a memorable experience. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the Bremerton area. Five stars, two big thumbs up, and highly recommended!
