Stopped by Mandy’s Cafe & Deli in Tomah, WI, for a casual bite and found a charming diner experience with some quirky character (just check out that utensil holder!). The place was very clean and had that classic, no-frills diner vibe. Service was on the slow side – took 5-10 minutes for a friendly server to greet me, but considering she seemed to be running the whole show, it’s understandable.
I went with the club sandwich on white bread and a side of fries. The sandwich was solid – the turkey and ham tasted fresh and flavorful, stacked generously with crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The fries? Surprisingly good, crispy on the outside and just the right amount of salt.
This was my second visit, and while the food quality is consistent, the wait times could be improved if they had more help. Still, for the price and quality, it’s a good stop if you're not in a rush.

Always good food and good prices. Service is always friendly. They struggle for help at times, it seems, but I don’t blame them for that.

We were passing through and found this restaurant on Google Review with a 4.5 star so we stopped in to give it a try. Food was not what we expected from a small dinner. Big menu with lots of choices. All ite.s had a unique twist. My Filthy burger was excellent as was the Chicken Pot Pie Soup. One kid liked their kids burger and fruit bowl. The other kid and spouse had Biscuits and Gravy and did not like it at all. They love biscuits and gravy and kid would not even touch it after the first bite. Spouse said it was terrible gravy. Based on our experience the burgers are excellent, as is the fruit cup and Chicken Pot Pie Soup. Spouse does not recommend the Biscuits and Gravy.
Kid-friendliness: Staff was very good with small kids. Brought them colors and coloring books.

My waitress barely gave me the time of day from the moment I walked in. The food was extremely bland and flavorless, and outside of coffee all the drinks and juices are bottled, no fresh orange juice at a breakfast place seems odd to me. The prices are ok but I wish the food was cooked a lot better.
Truly excellent breakfast!
