If you have never been here like I haven't in the 15 years I have lived in Beaver Dam, you must go!!! Amazing bloody Mary's, great food! This will be my new Saturday morning/afternoon go to for food! Great service also!

Was in town visiting. Had the Clyde omelette was packed with pure belly filling goodness. Was easy on the pocket book to go along w time capsule ambience. 🤠

Very good home cooked food. We've just gone for breakfast, but I love the chili omelet! Chris and his daughter Katina are so friendly & welcoming!

Took a group of five folks from out of town. They were very busy. But that didn't have a effect on our service. Breakfast was above average and our service was very good. My choice was a chilli omelet. It was fabulous and the toast was outstanding. Loaded with butter. Fact is I could only eat about half of what they gave me. Diamond in the city of Beaver Dam. You must go

In all my travels, I would have to say that the chili was truly some of the best chili I ever tasted. The burgers are freshly made and coupled with a bowl of chili it makes for a great meal. I highly recommend taking home a container for some comfort food on those cold nights. Definitely a place to stop and have lunch. All menu items beyond reasonable. Closes by 2pm

Excellent freshly prepared food is the best around town. Every time I come back to town for visits, I always have to stop by and eat here. Kind of a priority for me.

I am a burger addict and Chili John's has one of the best burgers you can find. The restaurant is an icon in the Beaver Dam community. Don't expect a big fancy place inside, but it's reasonably clean, prices are fair, and there is not usually much of a wait. Stop by for a great burger and a bit of local history.
