    Chicken Tender Melt with Waffle Fries
    Debbi M.

    I loved that there is so much history on the walls of the restaurant about the local area. Great little store next to it. Nice service and clean atmosphere. My only critique is that most of the menu is not fresh. Had two meals here. The breakfast far out did the lunch menu as it was fresh cooked and nothing was instant or premade. Really enjoyed the parking. Very quiet with little traffic.

    A marvelous stop among the array of gas pumps! Their forte are the breakfast skillets and fresh baked selection of pies. Friendly ladies. I had the bowl of chili with everything on it. It was a little thinner but it was not a soup and their plum tomatoes in it gave it a sweetness. Delicious. Oh, and lots of hamburger chunks. Very filling.

    Was down in Menomonie for sports and stopped here between games. Pleasantly surprised - our waitress was phenomenal. She complimented my four kids on their behavior and was really interactive with them. We had breakfast food for lunch and ordered some desserts. Typical diner feel.

    Delicious. Had the Exit 45 Burger with a sunny side egg and steak fries. The patty was thick and juicy. Egg was cooked perfectly. Also had the blueberry topped cheesecake which was very good. Everything tasted fresh.

    2 eggs over hard with half an English muffin

    Ate here for dinner on 02/18/24 and breakfast on 02/19/24. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and on top of everything. Drinks were refilled when they got low and plates were removed when empty. The place was clean and decorated nicely. It is inside a truck stop but it's not overpriced like other places. Noticed there were plenty of regular customers coming in, so you know they are doing things right. Will be stopping by again next time I am in the area and have the time.

    Love the classic road side diner counter service. Every one here is so friendly. There's even a brunch buffet.

    What a cozy happy road trip stop. Reliable diner vittles. And personable friendly service. The local clientele is very welcoming. I enjoyed a fantastic omelet, and perfectly brewed coffee. I will be passing through this area several times in the upcoming months and am looking forward to my next visit to this little gem.

    Coffee!!

    Great customer service; breakfast was good...I believe I had an omelet. I stop here every chance I get.

    Fried chicken with hash browns were fantastic!

    Scatterbrain is a hidden gem. Yes, if it's a very busy day of week or holiday you will have a 20+…read moreminute wait for your food to come out but I sort of like...you know...talking to the people who I'm sitting with so it gives a great opportunity for that. If you have taste buds then this place will blow your mind with a changing seasonal menu, wide variety of specialty coffee/non coffee drinks and breakfast food that's a 10/10 every single time. I have been there about a dozen times and am never disappointed. They even offer Gluten-Free baked goods which my wife very much appreciates (Cream puffs on occasion which are my personal favorite). Very quaint atmosphere (rustic) with a tucked away book/game nook in the back perfect for kids while they wait.

    My new spot! Shout out to my cousin who encouraged us to drive 12 extra minutes outside of…read moreMenomonie to switch things up. Scatterbrain has lots of exterior parking and loads of history in the preserved building which previously operated as a general store. I thought for sure this would be an order at the counter type spot and was pleasantly surprised to learn there is a full serving staff and onsite roasting of coffee beans. Both breakfast and lunch is offered here along with a massive espresso coffee and non coffee drink menu including house made syrups. I enjoy the big variety and uniqueness of every item including the fresh baked goods like monkey bread, pickle salad, in house syrups and ice cream. Bonus: check out the interior gift items from earrings to coffee beans to apparel along with the hidden library nook which is great for kiddos and contains a lovely scrap book outlining the history and remodel of the space.
