Mashed potatoes, gravy, fruit bowl, green beans were great. Brownies were awesome. I love their bakery. They had about 9 different kinds of pie, huge cookies, different kinds of fudge, and many other choices. We were in a private room so isolated from the restaurant so we had a nice quiet space where people could talk about my brother. Prices were very reasonable and did I mention the GREAT STAFF! Thank you Park Oasis for a memorable and positive Celebration of Life for my brother.

An o.k. average run-of the mill chicken fried steak. Not bad, but needed salt and black pepper to wake it up.

As far as Denny's menu items go it is consistent with their better stores nationally. The special requests though are handled promptly and accurately. Smiles all around without the typical Denny's grunge. White tiles behind the counter, nobody distracted by their cell phones. Jessica always had coffee top-offs in hand. No food sat in the window more than 5 minutes. Tina in the kitchen was busy cleaning between orders. She was most impressive as she never once stood around waiting for tickets. All in all a great place to spend your morning and leave satisfied and happy in a good mood.

We usually stop at the Denny's at the WI Dells but decided to stop here instead. What a mistake!…read moreThe scrambled eggs were not fresh. (I couldn't tell if they were premade and then microwaved or if it was a container of liquid egg product that was used.) Every other item we ordered was dry and overcooked (waffle, chicken sandwich, french fries). Even the coffee was burned (and came in a coffee cup that could not have been more than 6 oz). There was one waitress for 7 tables and 2 men at the counter, and she was pretty useless. We had to ask twice for a fork, ketchup, and the check. She was very busy laughing and joking with a friend in the doorway while two other customers stood at the cash register waiting to pay. We stopped for a quick lunch on our way home from vacation, but with the terrible service it took over an hour. I was very frustrated by the time we left.

You'll be sorry! When you open the door to this inviting little diner, you'll be greeted by friendly staff eager to welcome you and get you started. The smell of food wafts throughout the restaurant making it hard to choose breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert! Don't take too long because your server will be there quickly for your order! We chose breakfast to start our day off right with dessert (just because life is short)! The coffee and tea were great. The food was down home delicious. The ambiance was laid back family friendly. Kids were laughing and singing, a baby cried, the radio was going softly, the coffee kept magically appearing -- it was a great way to start the day! We recommend this spot if you're in the Dells. If off the beaten path but worth finding. Go where the locals go! Eat well! Tip better!

I shared one a plate of pancakes with another person and we couldn't quite finish it. The pancakes were sweet. I don't think they used fresh berries for the compote. It was satisfying.
