    Great food. We went back three days in a row. So tasty! Staff was great. We will definitely stop here again.

    Delta Diner is literally in the middle of nowhere. They do their own thing on both the food & service front, and the whole thing works. You're going to get the whole spiel if you go but the highlights are: 20% auto grat on every order (fine by me) and no menus. There's a board but the dishes will be explained to you along with 3-4 specials. You'll probably have to wait. You don't get to pick a booth or the counter - they've got a system here. I'm good with all of this because the food is GOOD. Despite tempting specials I couldn't resist the Mexican Benny which is homemade corn cakes topped with perfect over easy eggs, smothered in a homemade chipotle chorizo sauce. It's served with fresh whole wheat toast (the only kind they have) which is perfect for mopping up the delicious sauce. Honestly one of the most flavorful things I've had for breakfast in a good while. Service was friendly and efficient. It's "pricy" for up north but you are getting excellent quality - worth it IMO. If you go, do things their way and you won't be sad.

    Norwegian Hot Cakes with Bacon and a coffee.

    Holy Norwegian Hot Cakes, Batman! This quaint diner is such a fantastic surprise! We walked in and we're greeted so friendly by Tina. Our server, Suzanne was so kind as well. The menu is printed above the chef, but the servers actually recite the entire menu, including specials table side. I chose the Norwegian Hot Cakes and they were absolutely fantastic! The pancakes are thin and dusted with powdered sugar. I then squeezed fresh lemon juice over the top of them and the hot cakes are filled with little bits of jalapeños. It sounds a bit weird, but they taste delicious!! Mary the chef is very talented and super nice! Will definitely be back again and recommend you come check this little special spot out!

    What an awesome little diner with great service and great food. We were there for breakfast and the stuffed hash brown was excellent, the bacon was great, everything was good. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back.

    I love this place! What a hidden gem! I was vacationing in the area with some family and my dad recommended this diner. We came on a Saturday morning for breakfast.. had to wait an hour to be seated. In the meantime we grabbed a cup of coffee, checked out the local artist that was setup outside, and even decided to grab a breakfast beer at Earth Rider Brewing which was built in a portion of the parking lot. Delicious raspberry beer, not too sweet! The food was well worth the wait! I love their business model.. the waitresses aren't tipped, and instead paid an hourly wage. They really take their time with each table explaining the menu to you verbally.. talking you through their business model and go into detail about their entrees and the ingredients and explain where they're all sourced from. They buy most of their baked goods and produce from local businesses. Some items featured things like locally foraged mushrooms! The food was astounding! I had the salmon and eggs with a blue cheese pesto, others in my party had the denver steak and eggs. All of our hash browns were cooked perfectly, and the eggs were cooked perfectly over easy. I appreciated that everything tasted of high quality and not loaded with oil and grease. My mom tried the German pancake. The lemon curd (?) that was on top was delicious! The atmosphere was great, a very retro feel but everything was clean and comfortable. You didn't feel like you were sitting in a greasy diner. I would absolutely recommend this place! It is worth a drive and worth the wait.

    Omg just arriving!

    I drove 8 hours to "go camping" with the fam...well i planned the trip only because i wanted to check this place out. Amazing breakfast those pancakes are so good youll wanna slap your momma. I wish they had the red eye gray like they showed on man vs food but the hot cakes were good. Our waitress was nice i like the verbal menu it forced me to make a decision because im indecisive. I honestly would drive the 8 hours back to get more breakfast. It was that good. Serving sizes are good. That amazing sour dough bread its so beautiful you will cry. I also liked all the gift shop stuff and i bought too much but now everyone knows Ive been there so i feel cool

    Damn good food in the middle of nowhere. Delta Diner is destination dining at it's finest. Tucked away in the Chequamegon Nicolet forest is an old school diner relocated and refurbished. When it's busy expect a wait. There isn't much room but you can linger outside or sit in your car. There is also an ice cream/coffee outbuilding that you can check out while you wait. They carry Purple Door for you Milwaukee folks. Once you're seated prepare for no menus and a long explanation of the menu and the pricing of the food. They also add 20% gratuity to the meal up front. Which is all explained to you. No complaints there. It helps to visit a few times because the run down is shorter and you get your food faster! We ordered 3 meals each time we visit. That way we get to share and taste more food. The food is so amazingly good too, that it's worth busting a button on your pants to enjoy. On this visit we shared a Dutch baby pancake with strawberries, lemon ricotta and cream. It also came with a side of bacon because everything is better with bacon. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the pancake. No regrets there. For his main breakfast, my boyfriend ordered steak and eggs which he loved. I ordered the blue plate special pork stuffed hashbrowns. I'm such a dumb Dora though because I had that last time I was there! No worries though, it was just as delicious as the first time. On my next visit it is my mission to try something new. I swear! Service is usually great. Everyone is very friendly and they have a mode of operation that works well for them. It is rather impressive that the servers can memorize the whole menu board plus 5 to 6 blue plate special and the whole gratuity speech. I enjoy Delta Diner and can't wait to return. I highly recommend it for anyone travelling in the area. Or for anyone looking for a great road trip for breakfast. Get some!

    Mimosa for the guys!

    I could write a book about the Delta Diner. My sister worked here and all my fiends worked here when I was in high school. I love the building, I love the food, I love the staff, and I love Nina and Todd! Imagine an old school diner dropped in the middle of a forest with the most delicious food and you have the Delta Diner! It's such a fun and unique place to visit. Every single time we are home we make sure to hit up breakfast. This last time we even hit it up twice! You walk in and chances are you may end up waiting for a bit BUT I promise you it's always worth the wait. We decided to hit up the bar because that's usually open, there's not a ton of seating but the bar especially in front of the grill is my favorite! Was helped by my childhood neighbors, love that! We decided on Stuffed French toast, per usual. Pretty sure Daniel got a normal breakfast, I LOVE THE TOAST AND HASH! Add some hot sauce and I'm good to go! The second time we went with the Dutch Baby, YUM, my brother the Mexican Benny, spicy but oh so good, and the boys got mimosas. It was so stinking good each time and this is a place I tell strangers about. Please go if you find yourself in Northern Wisconsin. Huge parking lot, defiantly a wait for breakfast but worth it, and the food is to die for. You'll love it!

    What a cool place! It looks like- because of the signage- that this place is super busy during the summer. But it is winter and we arrived at the end of their serving day. We had onion rings and **deep fried Mac and Cheese- with a chipotle mayo** that was AMAZING! Wow. Really really good onions rings too. The server was super friendly and very enjoyable. They offered us free coffee as it was the end of the day- what a great stop! The building was one that looked like a 50s vibe train dining car. Beautiful tile inside- with fun tables and counter seating. Loved it.

    Stopped through after a trip to Madeline Island. We ate a lot of good food at Madeline so weren't expecting much when we stopped into the diner on our drive home. OMG!! This place was phenomenal. Can you beat a $4.50 mimosa?! -We shared an order of two Norwegian cakes- a thin, not-too- sweet pancake batter with chopped jalapeños, topped with powdered sugar and served with a wedge of lemon to squeeze on top. It was so good!!! Would definitely eat a whole order myself as a meal. -BF got the stuffed French toast (stuffed with fresh berries and house made mascarpone). It was so decadent- the berries were juicy and the mascarpone was rich and delicious. He loved it. It came with a side of bacon that was probably the best diner bacon I've ever had- thick and crispy. -I got the PBLT- a perch BLT! Lightly fried perch on sourdough-wheat sandwich bread, spread with chipotle mayo (don't skip it), more of that thick bacon, and lettuce and fresh tomato. It was awesome!!! See the picture. Fries were great too- salty and crispy. My mouth is watering just writing this review- we will definitely be back. Love u, Delta Diner.

    A beautiful September day drive through northern WI and stopped for the Monday burgers. amazingly flavorful! Our waitstaff was on point and even though we couldn't eat inside we had a beverage and sat in our car... reminded me of the drive-ins we experienced as kids. Cannot wait to come back and try their breakfast! Definitely worth the drive!

    Stuffed French toast was incredible. Chocolate milkshake was also A+. It was a long wait but definitely worth it if you have the time.

I just can't believe I have never been here before when visiting Iron River. The setting and the view alone is worth a visit. Set on the edge of Deep Lake, get a window seat if you can to watch the sunset. It's not quite a supper club (which is okay!) but we still ordered Brandy Old-fashioned. Trust me- they make them well! I think we may have converted my cousin to making this her Wisconsin drink of choice based on no small part on this version. The menu is midwestern steak house with flair. I ordered one of the nightly specials- pecan encrusted walleye. It was so good. LIghtly breaded with hints of fennel- a combination I never would have thought of but it was so tasty. of course it was served with salad and a small loaf of bread- a great way to start a meal. THe dessert menu looked intriguing but we were stuffed- I took half my meal home and ate it for lunch the next day! Still tasty. I would add this to everyone's must stop list when in Northern Wisconsin

It's full of local color and delicious flavor. Nice selection on the menu--and quite interesting. I mean, the Blackened Ahi Tuna--each subsequent ingredient gets stranger: provolone cheese, spring greens, black bean pico de gallo, and wasabi mayo. Fairly friendly atmosphere. It's clear there are regulars here by the hugs being doled out by the servers. My steak, brussels sprouts with bacon, and baked potato were excellent. The steak was cooked just to my liking. I would stop here again.
