My first time today. I like everything about it. Value was off the charts and everything about my breakfast was above average. Coffee was well above average and bottomless for $1.50. Best of all was all the staff were very friendly.

The patty melt sandwiches are the bomb, always grilled just right and flavorful with those grilled onions. Had a taco salad in a bowl and the hamburger tasted old plus the bowl was way to hard to even break apart and very greasy.

Great wait staff, delicious food and the small town charm you would expect from a Wisconsin restaurant!
