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.

Eggs Benedict

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.

Chicken w/ Biscuits & Gravy, scrambled eggs

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.

Cinnamon toast pancakes with cream cheese butter!!!

Reviews are largely positive. Many appreciate the friendly service and vintage atmosphere. Portions are generous, and the breakfast menu is popular. Most find the food flavorful, though some report bland dishes.

Excellent crab cakes, outstanding salad, had the duck. That was probably the best duck breast…read morewe've ever had. Not greasy, the potato puffs were outstanding, and the spicy thin cut Brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious. Our server was nice, kinda quirky, but nice, and the service was overall very good. We had two old fashioneds, (maple and blueberry) and I'd say they were sweeter than expected. I'd say if you don't want it as sweet, inform them to make it less sweet/simple sugar. You want to taste the liquor... and that I think was a slight shame. It was still good- but ask for less sweet.... Additionally, had the pumpkin cheesecake, and that was very good too. It was heavy, but still very good. Very clean, the bathrooms were clean, and the facility was very organized and this old building has been revamped and is now a nice shiny jewel of Baraboo. Highly recommend. Get the duck... absolutely one of the most underrated platter that goes highly unnoticed. Get it. Thank me later.

Overall a good experience. Waitress wasn't the overly friendly but she was efficient. The food took…read morea bit but tasted great. Shout out to the smoked salmon crostini and lobster Mac. There was a very loud and obnoxious group close by but thankfully they were gone about half way through our meal so we could enjoy our meal with our group. Prices are a tad high but it was worth it. Would definitely stop for another special occasion but not for a regular meal.
