    First time here. We were on our way to the Dells and hungry for some breakfast. The place has a nice retro feel to it. The stainless steel diner has been well cared for and updated enough to make it more comfortable for staff and customers. There are some tables out front and two different seating areas inside (it's bigger than it looks). All the cooking is done behind the counter, where you can see it all happening. It can be a bit noisy as the metal spatulas hit the grill, but you can still have a reasonable conversation. It's a busy place, and the servers are efficient, with a no nonsense approach to taking your orders. The menu is large, with lots of traditional favorites (no avocado toast here). There were two pages of breakfast items, and it was a tough decision. We ordered a number of different items: corned beef hash, pancakes, and potato pancakes with eggs and sausage. It did not take very long to get our food. Very good portions, everything was plenty hot, and all flavorful. Everyone was happy with their choices. The corned beef hash was not the kind you get from a can. It was large, fresh pieces. The pork sausages were plump and well seasoned. The poached eggs were perfect. My only complaint: I ordered my potato pancakes extra crispy, but they didn't seem "extra" to me (extra extra crispy next time). The regular pancakes were good, but not fluffy enough to be "excellent". A very nice place for breakfast, and somewhere we would return to.

    Really enjoyed our visit to Broadway Diner in Baraboo. The classic diner atmosphere feels cozy and welcoming, and every dish we ordered was genuinely great. The staff was friendly and on top of things. It's a smaller spot, so plan to get there early, especially on busy mornings. A fantastic local diner experience.

    What a unique experience in Baraboo Wisconsin. It felt like stepping back in time. This beautiful nostalgic 1950s type diner is fantastic. It is small, but we had great service and a great breakfast. Not to mention the aesthetics. If you're looking for a great little breakfast place that offers a unique experience, you found it here.

    Wouldn't return, I really wanted to like it I did, from the outside super cute. Inside cramped and loud. I don't even mind cramped and loud per se but then my Bloody Mary wasn't great. Weak. The mix was like tomato juice nothing to jazz it up. I had the eggs benedict it was just kind of flat, the hollandaise lacked seasoning and flavor just tasted like blah. My husband said the same of his meal. Which I can't even remember what he had it was so forgetful. The homemade bread was the reason I gave one star for the effort. Not good. Won't be back. Oh and the ham was so thin there is no way it could get any thinner.

    Driving through Wisconsin going home to Wheaton, Illinois from Eden Prairie, MN, my hubby had me search for a highly rated, yet affordable brunch place along the way. Broadway Diner is a little off the main southbound highway, but when I read the story behind it and some positive reviews, I really wanted to try it out. How cool is it that this is an actual old time, well used diner from the East Coast that was transported to the Midwest and restored to its original beauty! Frank Sinatra era music played pleasantly in the background. Very happy and friendly wait staff wearing black shirts that said "Body by Bacon" greeted and served us. I loved the hollandaise sauce atop the Farmers Market Benedict Scramble I ordered, and that it came with a side of fresh fruit. My husband's Corned Beef Hash was a bit salty for him. Coffee wasn't as robust as we like it, but not bad. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

    A rather simple diner with great prices. Staff were friendly and the food was basic, but good. It was very busy, so, I'd guess it's popular with locals. You don't come across many like this anymore & it hit the spot, as nobody wanted to cook.

    Who would've guessed....a delicious, juicy ribeye steak and eggs at a 50s style diner! But yes! And it was a very good steak. Not one of those thin breakfast steaks but a real ribeye! Hash browns perfectly seasoned, buttery and crispy! And a homemade sourdough toast to top it off!

    The atmosphere (diner) was great; our service was less than pleasant and the food (unfortunately) was rather non-descript.

    Stopped in on somewhat of a whim, and found it absolutely delightful. Firstly, the ambience was…read morefun and playful. The "diner" theme was played out throughout, from the signage, tables, tabletop jukeboxes boxes, to the pictures, statues, and menus. I had a great, great omelette with the hash browns, extra crispy, just as I requested. But . . . The added bonus was that servers were attentive, friendly, and engaging. My server, Annalise, particularly caught my attention for what a phenomenal representative she was for the business / restaurant. Not only did she have the three traits above, but she had eyes in the back of her head to ensure that all diners had their needs attended to. She was great with the elderly, the young, and all those in-between!!! An Ambassador for Dennys. I tried the house recipe of the salsa/sauce as a complement to Chalula, but it didn't have enough kick for me. Very good; tomato based and mild. PS - really enjoyed the various movie pictures/screenshots in the restrooms. Very fun and apropos for the restaurant enjoyment.

The décor is fun…read moreand eclectic, and as someone who grew up in the '90s, I really appreciated the nostalgic atmosphere. The restaurant is small, casual, and operates on a cash-only basis, so it's worth keeping that in mind before visiting. Unfortunately, the customer service was underwhelming, as the woman who rang us up came across as somewhat unfriendly. The biggest issue was that we found pieces of eggshell in our eggs after we had started eating, which took away from the experience. Overall, it was an okay breakfast, but nothing particularly memorable. We ended up enjoying our meal and overall experience at the IHOP in Wisconsin Dells more.
