The food was okay, big portions but the liver and onions were over seasoned and I could not eat them. This is a "one man shop" and the service was VERY slow. When I asked if they had cream gravy without sausage, I got lectured about the history of the restaurant and how they have always made their gravy instead of a simple answer.

Very good food for a reasonable price. Love how unique they are and have a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere. Just got to remember they only take cash 😅.

Classic wisconsin bar. Visited for breakfast and the whole family, including 2 children, walked away happy. Wasn't too busy, but the waitress was very attentive and helpful.

This is a great place to eat. The food is great and the service is friendly. Everyone there likes to talk, feel free to join in on the conversation. It is a place where grandparent would take their grandchildren. It gives the feeling of one of those small town cafes. I would personally recomend the burger steak dinner.

OMG! I love this place! Great food and great service. I had the cheeseburger omlette today(and the last couple times I've been there) and it was pure perfection as always! Super cheesy and delicious! I dream about it when I'm not there.

Chris is an awesome guy, the only thing being that sometimes he gets overwhelmed by trying to memorize all the orders that sometimes he forgets the correct sides.
Chili cheese fries.
