We, thankfully, happen to stop by this establishment after having a horrible encounter at another West side business. We were drawn in by the quirky lights, and neighborhood entrants, so we stopped. We were so glad to be received warmly by staff, and other patrons. We enjoyed the interesting & lovely atmosphere, friendly service, absolutely delicious food, and cocktails, and can't wait to come back.

Never misses! Food is phenomenal and the vibe is perfect! One of the best chicken cordon bleu sandwiches around and the garlic parmesean sauce is to die for!

WOW! I was reluctant since so many other businesses have failed to make this property a go. But after hearing so many wonderful things about it, we had to go see for ourselves. We were not disappointed.The food is amazing; it was prepared before our eyes with meats from the local Zillman's meat market. The layout is unique and the interior design quite trendy. Art is displayed for sale on the walls and a couple of mounted TVs for entertainment. There is one table for 6 in front of the sidewalk window, 4-5 booths, 2 high-tops, and 2 U-shaped wrap around diner-style seating. There are also a few seats at the bar.We came in on a Saturday around 10:30. Hubby ordered French Toast to hold us over until they began serving lunch at 11. Then it was time for Bloody Marys and Modelo chasers. I ordered the M&O Burger (caramelized mushrooms and onions over a patty with cheese) and hubby ordered the Westsider (fried egg, bacon, and cheese over a patty). Even the fries were delicious!Next to how clean this place is, I most enjoyed how the servers and cooks interacted - more like friends than co-workers. Summer [Breeze], thank you for the amazing service! Guys, the food was everything we had hoped for. You all made a great first impression. We'll be back!Friends, keeping in mind this is a diner, and not much can be done to expand considering the location... big groups may be tough to accommodate, there is no parking lot and resides on a one-way street in a mostly residential area, and I think (but did not confirm), the restroom(s) are downstairs. Also note there is breakfast time and everything else time depending on when you arrive. I highly recommend a Bloody Mary if you need to hang out until they switch over to lunch/dinner.

Today was my second time at Westside diner. The first was visit was for dinner. The food was not remarkable but not bad. Saw at that time they did breakfast. Today was that breakfast. The service was extremely disappointing. She definitely gave off the air that we were an inconvenience. So unfortunately when the bacon I ordered tasted like it had gone bad, to which my husband agreed and I told the waitress so she could tell the cook staff, she didn't even listen to the whole conversation. She just turned and walked away to another table without saying a word. We won't be back. Which is sad because we love to support small businesses.

Usually I wouldn’t order egg rolls at a cafe, but I’m glad I did as they were excellent. Burgers were fantastic. Will definitely try to stop here again next time we are in Wausau.

The Burger was phenomenal! Also had cheese curds and onion rings that were outstanding. Prices are decent and the decor is great. Definitely will be back and try more of the delicious food.

I’ve been here a handful of times for dinner, and twice for breakfast. The dinners have always been good, and the veggie egg scramble was good too. The oatmeal is served plain, with fresh fruit on the side. It was very bland; no raisins, craisins, walnuts or brown sugar added, and I think gourmet oatmeal would be in-line with the rest of the breakfast menu here. Also, the coffee is always served lukewarm, which makes it not as enjoyable as it could be. Overall, it is a nice local place to get something good to eat. There seems to be too many chain restaurants in Wausau now, so I’m glad this opened up!

Atmosphere! This is such a cool take on a diner I hope they do fantastic. I went once and decided to make that visit ritual. They have incredible art everywhere and very down home friendly staff. I will 100 percent be bringing my friends and family.
