We were excited to experience a 50's diner. Well the joke was on us. Yes, it is a 50's diner. The tables and booths reprinted 50's. They have a big jukebox and little selection boxes on each table. The jukebox did not work. Not that it was going to get fixed...it just didn't work. Okay, at least have 50's music playing. There was NO music at all. Did I mention that the place was empty at about 4:00. The food and server were okay. read more

Cute dinner vibes. The southwest skillet was fantastic! Our service was quick. We sat in the corner circle booth, which the kids thought was fun. read more

We stopping for a late Friday brunch. I opted for the salmon skillet as I usually do. It was delicious and it wasn't swimming in hollandaise sauce and I appreciate that. I had a side of cake that my husband gobbled right down. The service was quick and friendly and even though they were pretty busy we were in and out. I'm so sad my pics were an afterthought as it was presented nicely. Only mishap is they gave my hubs the wrong side but he never complains and just ate it. ‍ read more

This is a great little diner that reminds me of the one in my hometown. The place was loud with the sounds of a busy diner on a weekend morning. The service was quick and efficient. I enjoyed my breakfast as did my dining companions. We had coffee and plenty of creamer. There is not much for a waiting area so if they're busy this is problematic. Other than that, go support them! read more

Gus's Diner - Diners Near Me - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

We love this breakfast place! It not only resembles a classic 1950s diner, it serves great tasting food with good prices. Just so you know, "Everything here is made from scratch except the peas". The food here is always fresh and the specials here always come with a salad bar option. Please try a shake here, you won't regret it!! Open on Christmas Day until 4pm. read more

Oh I do love a breakfast all day diner like Gus's a great place to meet for giant omelettes and mountains of home style potatoes

Walking into this 60's-style diner felt like stepping onto the set of a time-travel movie with a very limited budget--chrome everywhere, neon signs humming like they're powered by hope alone, and booths so squeaky they announce your every move like a live studio audience laugh track. Truly immersive. The service was outrageously fast. I'm talking "did they already know my order before I walked in?" fast. Either they're psychic or they've mastered cloning, because plates were hitting the table before my butt even fully committed to sitting. The French toast? Oh, just absolutely terrible--if you hate joy. Crispy, fluffy, delicious... basically a breakfast overachiever trying to show off. I'm still annoyed it set such a high standard for the rest of my life. Now the country fried steak... to die for. Literally. If cholesterol had a spokesperson, it would be this dish. The gravy was so good I questioned every decision I've ever made that didn't involve eating it sooner. I would fight a small crowd for another bite. Maybe a medium crowd. In summary: 10/10. This place is so good it almost makes you forget you're eating in a building that looks like someone never emotionally recovered from 1964. read more

Went on a Sunday morning and was able to get sat right away. The servers were fast and friendly. Food came out fast. I got the chicken fajita skillet, which was a good portion! I really enjoyed the decorations and old school vibe. read more

Such a cute spot with a vintage feel. Food here was excellent and so was the service!

The ambience was very nice. The waitress was very friendly. But the food was just average.

Terrible customer service, took an act of God to have a server help me. The guy next to me had to point to me to get a server at the counter to help me and then she asked how may I help you and then I said could I please get a menu? I asked for a lemon with my water, never got it. Food is good but overpriced they paid no attention to me never said hello if you're not a local or a regular, don't bother going here. I will never step foot in this diner ever again! Terrible overall experience! read more

This is a very cool looking diner. The people are nice and service was great. The food was awful. My omelette was burnt. Pancakes were dry. Orange juice was full of pulp, fresh squeezed but nonetheless nasty and served warm. OJ should not cost $6.00 a glass. Sorry but I won't be back. read more

Middle of the road breakfast and quick service. Canned/frozen foods with prices that one would expect freshness. Cool 50's themed cafe. Somehow they are always busy! read more

amazing food, speedy service, awesome vibe. they have Pepsi products and the jalabeno burger is also really good

Huge portions! Sucker for a cliche diner experience. They had non-functioning jute boxes at every booth and the food portions were huge! Felt like we went back in time to the 50's. There is a salad bar and old fashion signage. Very classic. Food was good, coffee also great. No complaints here! read more

Reliable diner food with incredibly fast and friendly service. We tried Gus's Diner on a busy Sunday morning. We were immediately seated at the bar, and had a hot cup of coffee in my hands before I knew it. Gloria was an amazing waitress, and made sure our order was in quickly, and that we had everything we needed. read more

Arrived at 8 am. It wasn't busy yet. We sat down and immediately got asked if we were ready to order. I am not a regular, so I told her I needed to see the menu. The waitress came back like a minute later. I still wasn't ready. This happened quickly a couple more times. We then put in our order. The toast arrived quickly and was put down near my friend so she started eating it. Usually toast comes with your meal so it is warm. When the food came out, I didn't have any toast. Haha! I guess mine was the one my friend started eating. So she brought me some more. I didn't like the jelly packets sitting on top of my toast. Who knows who has touched the packets or where they have been and now they are on top of my toast. The food was okay. The fruit was ripe, but some were rotten. I went to pay with cash, and received more back than I needed as the waitress said they didn't have any change. Very strange!! read more

Very 50s. 2 of us got cheddar bite burgers and one regular cheeseburger plus chicken fingers. Staff was very friendly. Ambiance in here was very chill. We're visiting from out of state so wanted something less mainstream. This was an excellent choice. Child said the chicken fingers were eh. read more

very expensive. food made wrong and waitress never came and asked if everything was OK. didnt eat it and still had to pay for it

Taste just like something you'd get at Denny's or perkins but more expensive. I don't know why people act like it's something they've never tasted before. read more

I ordered the Greek skillet. I looked at the dry shredded cheese on it and told server that I believed it was parmesan not feta. She agreed, took it back and came back with the skillet w/small bowl of shredded cheese and said the cook said that it is feta, it's shredded. I replied that feta is a soft cheese it can't be shredded only crumbled. She asked if I wanted to order something else I declined. Sad that a cook doesn't know the difference between feta and parmesan cheese. read more

Gus's Diner - Greek skillet - parmesan not feta cheese - Diners Near Me - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

It was pleasant upon entry and being inside. During our first time there, we mentioned it and shortly the lady told us they closed at 9pm. It was 7:30 at the time. When we entered we were gonna be seated to the right, but the employee on that side cleaning did some gestures and we were directed left. Our table had a dirty dish bucket on top of it, and they did not follow up with a wipe. Food was delivered pretty fast and it tasted well. We also got shakes and the shakes are amazing. Definitely would not recommend going past 7pm because they started cleaning up super early. 4/5 employees at the time were very helpful and caring. The one that seated us though, started gloating about how much money she was making compared to everyone. This is the same one that told us they closed at 9pm at 7:30pm. I understand that people wanna go home. But for our first time, I would not want to come back. Maybe in the future earlier in the day when we don't have to hear about how much money an employee is making. read more

The main entrees were ok. The BBQ pork ribs were very tender. My cousin said the BBQ sauce was bad. The fries were either not salted or over salted, or even over sugared. The fried chicken was very crispy and smooth, but I didn't taste a lot of the chicken. The BLT was very good. The toast was very crispy, and the bacon wasn't chewy. But the ketchup was spoiled, and it tasted like vinager! I'd most likely recommend the BLT with mushroom creme soup. The staff was very nice, very talkative, and helped us when we were figuring out if the jukebox worked. The jukeboxes didn't even work, even though this is a 50's diner. But the place really felt like a 50's diner. I'd only recommend going their once, in my opinion. read more

Lines and waits can be long but the food is always hot and worth the time pent waiting.

Nice, local family fare. Always a bit busy, which is a good sign of their reputation. You cannot go wrong here.

pancakes: 4/5 very fluffy and sweet. they get soggy after sitting not for a while which sucks but oh well coffee: 3/5 basic coffee lol not incredible service: good, fast and nice price: a little too expensive for a small breakfast, (dont get bacon on the side its like $5 lol) read more

Nice to be able to have someone cook for you and serve you once again face to face! Tried the spicy Southwest omelet and the "Stuffed" French toast which was NOT delivered as described in the menu. The cream cheese was NOT stuffed between the two slices of toast but merely drizzled on top.... Suffice to say my omelet was very tasty and the hashbrowns were cooked to perfection. The pancakes that came with my breakfast were excellent as well. Coffee was okay. Service was friendly and courteous... See Photos read more

Went to Gus' a week ago for breakfast on Sunday. The place was packed and that much back and forth traffic in that small of a space was not ideal. We were asked if it was ok if we were seated in a corner spot which we didn't mind (less traffic) and then we were promptly helped by our super awesome attentive waitress. I ordered an omelette and the eggs were very bland but the steak and Hollandaise sauce was on point. My date got a scramble and was pleased with it. He also ordered biscuits and gravy and was disappointed in the chopped sausage links as meat in that dish. I got hot tea as well with lots of options to choose from. Overall the service was excellent and I would definitely visit Gus' again! read more

2nd time here and AWEOME service and food. Zero issues and zero reasons to say I won't drive 90 minutes just to eat here for breakfast again. That does say a lot I believe, I mean how many breakfast choices does one think there are during a 90 minute drive? I'd choose Gus's Diner! read more

Gus's Diner was a more disappointing than I wished for a awesome looking diner place to be. The food quality of the meals just wasn't very good. When we entered the diner, it has a retro-diner feel to it with juke boxes (non-functional) and cool decorations throughout the place. However, we got seated at a booth by the windows and there was a cold wind drift coming in and the seats were freezing! I didn't know if moving would help so I just sat on my jacket to be a seat warmer. The meal I ordered was lackluster, the pancakes were dry and not very delicious. The eggs too runny, and the bacon was just okay. I ended up leaving more than half on it on the plate cause I just couldn't finish eating it. Service was decent, not bad but not amazing either. Overall, what could have been an awesome experience only was as good as the place it is, go check it out for the retro-diner feel, but I wouldn't really recommend going in for the food. read more
