    My girls Leah and Marie!
    Kamron A.

    If you love the old school cafea from the Midwest then this is a MUST if in Watertown Wisconsin! The charm of the 50s is felt as soon as you walk in. The retired men and women having some coffee together at one of the tables and the long counter with stools is occupied by some.local business people having a great breakfast while reading the local paper before work! I stopped in while I was in town to visit some friends and I truly miss seeing more of these places. The coffee is always hot and fresh and the food is made to order and steaming hot when it comes to you! I had the pleasure to meet Leah and Marie who took care of me and even told me about their special green salsa that is made by a lady in the back! Make sure you ask for it because it makes your omelette wayyyyyy off the charts! I got the farmers omelette and it's a huge 3 egg loaded wi5h bacon, sausage, ham, peppers, onions and mushrooms (I didn't get mushrooms) and topped with a lot of Wisconsin cheese! I loved they offered sour dough bread and then got some killer and I mean killer corn beef hash! Holy cow it was delicious! This is a place I will definitely be back when in town and the people working there are as friendly as humanly possible! A true Gem!

    Biscuits and sausage gravy w/hashbrowns

    Our group of 5 stopped in at 1:00pm on a Sunday (they close at 2:00 on Sundays). We ordered: A hamburger with sweet potato fries, a monte cristo sandwich with a cup of soup (for an extra $1.00), the chicken florentine entree, biscuits and gravy with hash browns, and shrimp alfredo with a cup of soup. The service was good but a bit slower than I'd prefer although the server was very nice. 3 out of 5 of us were very satisfied with our meals. The shrimp alfredo was supposed to be shrimp scampi and it hardly had any shrimp in it. In defense of our server, the shrimp was listed on the menu under a section titled new specials and was only listed as "Shrimp". The biscuits and gravy tasted like it came out of a can.

    Hot cocoa and dinner!

    This spot is a hidden gem! Loved the food, the atmosphere was fantastic! Friendly, food was amazing. They allowed my service dog in and made sure we were comfortable and our food was to order. Definitely will be back to try other entrees!

    This is exactly the kind of place I love to patronize when I am home reminding myself of my rural roots! In a drastic turn of events from our normal leaving-day breakfast, we swayed from our norm and were not disappointed. The atmosphere is rural 1970. The tables, chairs, booths, carpet, bar, etc. You might even be able to still smell the faint linger of tar and nicotine on the walls. The place is filled with farmers and retired locals out for community morning coffee. Like I said before, just what you want out of a breakfast joint! Breakfast is breakfast. Hard to screw it up and hard to amaze me. Your options are plenty and can be built for any sized appetite. I had the Gyro breakfast plate with hash browns and eggs your way. I might just try to make this on my own! It was a great way to send off yet another trip back home! I won't cheat on my other breakfast place, but it is good to know I have options!

    Hobo breakfast with a side of bacon.  The food was deliciously hot, the coffee is great.  It doesn't get any better than this.

    Take a trip back in time. The staff is so friendly. The food was great. You will hear "good morning" more times than you can count.

    Omelet is delicious!

They have a nice bar area with tables so we were able to grab a table and drinks while we waited. With the crowd, it took some time to get our drink orders. The dining room is cozy. It is family style, all you can eat. The waitress came over to confirm we wanted everything on the menu and then dishes were brought out to our table within 5 minutes. There were sides (baked beans, coleslaw, etc.), fried chicken, baked fish, fried fish, and fries. Overall I thought everything was ok. We were not a fan of the baked fish and the chicken was hit or miss. The chicken was bone in, some pieces were good and some weren't great. Overall our favorite thing on the table was the fried fish. Cool experience and friendly staff but overall underwhelmed by the food.

The dining area is much smaller and you are literally shimmying and squeezing into spaces so you don't bump others. The ambiance is stunning though, with details on the ceilings, the fans and anywhere else you look. We went on Friday, so the menu was limited. I usually get a tenderloin or filet, but I only had ribeye as an option, so I went with it. Many others in our party got the fish fry. There was a relish tray that came along with that, including beans and potato salads. The fish fry came with bake fish, fried fish, and broasted chicken. But we had four people at our table who ordered it and when they asked for more, they brought two pieces of things at a time, seemed extremely silly. Our waitress was extremely hard to hear, as it was so loud in the dining room and she was always walking away from us. The overall experience was okay, but not extremely memorable.

Quite sizable, it has tvs throughout with seating at the bar, high tops and tables. Solid beers on tap and a menu of what you expect at a bar-apps, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. Appreciate the fact they use never frozen beef for their (quite large) burgers and source local cheese. We started with some homemade mozzarella sticks wrapped in wonton wrappers. They were great and paired well with both the marinara and ranch sauces we ordered. The burgers we also ordered on point. With the option of pink or no pink, the burgers were chargrilled to order and as I mentioned above, substantial. Our bartender was great and checked in on us regularly. I'm not in Watertown much but wouldn't hesitate stopping in if ever back in the area.

Couldn't get the waitresses attention. After 45 minutes flagged her down to ask for our salads. She apologized. However, she spent most of the evening hanging out with friends at one table. Food took an hour and 20 minutes and was barely edible. The coleslaw was spoiled. The baked fish tasted like it had been microwaved. It was covered in rosemary and was tasteless. The grilled shrimp were excellent. The young workers (hostess and bus boy) were very attentive and friendly. Won't be back.

Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and took our order promptly. We didn't have to wait long, which was good because we had to energetic kids with us. Enjoyed the salad bar which has potato salad, Cole slaw and baked beans on Fridays. Potato salad and Cole slaw were excellent, beans basic. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had 2 perch fillets with a light crispy batter and a baked potato and sour cream. The perch was delicious and I haven't seen perch fillets this big in a long time. We split some schaum tort with the kids because they didn't know if they'd like it. They did! Next time they want their own. Very pleased with the experience overall.

Soup was chicken enchilada and was good. Salad was good too. 2 had prime rib. One looked gristly and was apparently hard to cut and was cold before she even ate 1/3 of it. She wont go back. One had scallops but was disappointed with the cocktail sauce. Of the 5 of us only i was really happy. The staff were friendly, bartenders great. Our server was very nice. If it was just me i would give 4 stars but based on the other 4 i have to knock it down a notch. Personally i would go back. The others would not. The place is cute and i guess we had hoped for a great meal like we had when it was called Donny's Girl. Now its just Donny's. I guess his girl got kicked to the curb.
