The service was fast and accurate as our very friendly server NATHAN R professionally cared for us. When the food arrived quickly we were delighted to find that the items we chose were outstanding. My wife's chicken wrap was more like a log because it was so filled with the tasty ingredients. My sandwich was my first time for a BLT that had two added ingredients: an over-easy fried egg and a slice of cheddar cheese. It was delicious. In fact, I will request the egg and cheese on future BLT's. And no, the traditional BLT flavor was not overwhelmed by the added flavors, it was enhanced! All in all, our dining experience was excellent and the added bonus of reasonable prices. When we get near Menomonee we will dine here again!

I Googled for places and this place had an outstanding score, so I was expecting good things. And that is exactly what we found here. It was a local diner scene with a little upscale flamboyance thrown in to make it something much more special. Food: Fresh and quality are the two main highlights on the menu. I noticed a lot of things were made in-house and prepared daily. The produce that was on each dish was bright, vibrant and at peak freshness. The berries were bold, the lettuce was crisp and the tomatoes were meaty and big. It kicked everything up a notch. And yes, the food was amazing because of it. Large portions to fill you right up and get you ready to get back on the road. Verdict: Awesome food without losing that small town feel made this an A+ stop. This will be a spot to visit again when we are back in the area.

While we were waiting, we were offered a couple of smaller tables, which would have split the group. We declined (but appreciated the offer). Got seated, with menus and waters. The server took our drink orders, and those items came right away. I was surprised by the fresh-squeezed orange juice -- nice touch. The server was very pleasant, helpful, and efficient. It didn't take that long for all of us to get our orders. Everything was hot, flavorful, and good-sized portions. The pancakes were big and fluffy. The eggs were moist. My avocado toast was nicely made and tasted fresh. And the two poached eggs were medium -- exactly how they were ordered. The manager (or owner?) stopped by during the meal to ask if all was okay. It was. Definitely a place I would recommend or come back to.

At first glance it's a diner with a pie case but check the menu for some unlikely finds. The Wisconsin Reuben was delicious, loaded with thick corned beef and lots of butter and sauerkraut so you didn't even need the thousand island. I wasn't sure how a Reuben would be without rye but the cranberry wild rice bread was the real star of the sandwich. The corned beef hash was a bit salty but I'll take homemade over the canned stuff any day! I had to try a side of their sausage gravy because my southern roots demand it, and I can say it's a decent attempt with good amount of black pepper and sausage flavor. They have an extensive case of pies which were tempting but we were full from lunch. We ended up loving the bread so much that we took a whole loaf home. Service was friendly which was a relief considering we ended up coming in at 2:20 when they close at 3. Next time in the area I definitely want to try the pie and maybe a smelt wrap made with lefse!

The two bright spots were the service we got up until we got our food, and the Eggs Benedict. So yeah, everything was going swimmingly, then we got our food and two minutes later the waitress placed our bill on our table and thus our water glasses and coffee cups were no longer replenished. And the Hashbrown Delight . . . it was hard to find any hashbrowns; I had to scrape a majority of the topping off to be able to see/taste any. Paid extra for scrambled eggs--hand to God, I thought they put a folded up crepe on the side of my plate. No scrambles in sight, just a dry sheet of egg. Ugh.

The location adds some bonus points being right in the heart of town, walking distance of most things you're looking to see in red wing. I went alone as no one wanted to join my excessively early biking ventures, they have great hours for early birds - 5 am - 3 pm on weekdays, and 6 am - 2 pm on weekends. But I saw groups of 6 and they seem like the kind of place that would "make it work" for just about anything. If you're looking for a no-frills local breakfast spot in red wing, consider it found!

Review Visit: November 14th, 2024…read more Maybe not THAT grand... The short trip to Eau Claire was coming to a close and I needed some food before I hit the road home. Around the corner from where Tim lives is a cafe he's been to a few times. We took the short stroll there to get some breakfast and coffee in us. We popped in after the major breakfast crowd and before the lunch crowd made the small cafe packed. We took a seat towards the front by the window so we could get some natural light to go with our meal. Our waitress was a hoot. She was professional but really chatty and we all quickly got on the topic of horror movies, spooky things, and the love for reading. I got the house coffee with a biscotti stick to go with it. Tim got a latte thing. The waitress forgot my biscotti but quickly brought it over when I asked her about it. As for our meal, I ordered just the french toast and Tim got a full course meal. I wanted to eat somewhat light as I had the long drive but... when I say I got french toast... it was the most basic two slices of french toast I've ever had. It ended up tasting decent but for $8.49, it just felt like it needed to some with a side of protein or eggs or something. Tim said his The Grand Gatsby and Bread Pudding was good, even if he doesn't care for Mango, which is what his Bread Pudding flavor was. The biscotti was really good, even better dipped in the coffee. The coffee itself was your typical drip coffee that you'd find across the country. Not great but not bad. It served it purpose. While it was a bit of a letdown that my last meal before heading home was less than stellar but the memories made at the cafe (and the whole trip) are one you can't put a rating on. With that in mind, if we visit here again in 2025, I will definitely get a more substantial meal than two meager slices of french toast.

Nine different soup choices. We were a group of three, so tried six different types of soup. They were all very good/flavorful! Even the soups that sounded less interesting were very good with quality ingredients! We then went back the following day for takeout items. You can buy soup to go at a good price. We, of course, had to buy some homemade bread to go with the soup. And we tried a breakfast kolache, which I would recommend. They have a selection of sweet bakery items. We tried the strudel, which was excellent! Hidden, modest gem off the beaten path that I recommend searching out for a unique experience!
