This is the diner I've been looking for! My go to is a grilled cheese with bacon and the sandwich here was top of its class. The fries and bacon were both crispy.Service was efficient. At 12:30 on a Thursday, every table was full and some parties had a brief wait for tables. I assume that it's chaos on weekends.Prices are exceptionally reasonable. My grilled cheese with bacon and fries was $7.83. Total with coffee, sandwich & fries and 2 desserts to go was $16.77.

Love this place. It's a great greasy spoon. The food is always very tasteful in the prices are right on. It's usually busy. That might seem to be a problem with some people.But it's just that good.That is that busy.Parking: It's a little cafe. So there's about parking for 35 cars.

We went there today, 3/22, at 1 pm and there was a sign on the door stating they were closing at 1:15 due to the weather. WHAT,,, the streets were bare and parking lot clean, not snowing.did you see a snowflake and panicked? Very disappointed since we were coming from sun prairie. Nothing on your website mentioned.

One of the best remaining greasy spoons in town! (Not that they don't wash their silverware, there's spoons are very clean I can assure you lol) My suggestion is to take a day to slow down one morning, grab some breakfast here made and served by real people who care, instead of supporting a corporation serving McSteam drawer© mystery meat breakfast sandwich with a side of hash browns with perma-crispy© technology? There will definitely be more butter involved with the home cooked family operation, but if it's only once a week is that such a bad thing? I think it's more of a necessary thing! Break the mold and support local, instead of supporting a company posting record-breaking profits through their absolute exploitation of the COVID crisis when they weren't affected so much but they definitely raised their prices as if they were... But hey that's just my opinion, probably.

Fabulous staff, clean, good prices.Food was what you'd expect from a cafe, not amazing but good. My salad was all iceberg, but my chicken was cooked better than anywhere else I've ever had.Atmosphere is dated and crowded, but there is a reason it's crowded, it's worth it.Would go back again, and bring friends and family.

Staff unfriendly and my order was not correct. The manager was unwilling to fix it without charging me more money. Very disappointed.

Make sure you order is correct! We ordered potato pancakes they took the wrong order gave us potato O’Brien and expected us to bring the food back for them to make it correct! Must be desperate for money, they couldn’t even make a $10 error correct! Shame on them!

Can't beat the prices on this food, good-sized servings for around $10/person. The service was a little slow ordering and waiting on the bill and box, but it was also Sunday after church. Having said that, our food got to us within seconds of it being cooked. We'll definitely drive across town to eat here again.

The food is so good it doesn't make sense. The people make you feel welcome, even as an outsider. The whole vibe was welcoming, and did I mention the food?

Stopped in for the fist time with a colleague. Jessy was nice and kept the coffee mug full. Food was good. Going to make this a stop again the next time in Madison.
