If you're looking for a classic small-town diner with great food and even better people, the Next-door Café is hard to beat. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently fast without ever feeling rushed. The food comes out hot, fresh, and exactly what you hope for from a hometown café -- hearty portions, great flavor, and consistency every time. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the chicken fried steak is outstanding and absolutely worth trying. This place has that genuine "local favorite" feel that's getting harder to find these days. Highly recommended. read more

Very friendly staff, no long wait, I went there for breakfast, WOW everything was perfectly cooked ad so darn good! you get a large amount of food for a very reasonable price! I will definitely go again! don't miss this New Richmond, WI gem!! read more

Breakfast can be a little different to find memorable but you will find the Simplest of Things that will bring you back like the Hash browns, these are great here and the main parts of the meal are very good too and service is always good, read more

Food was very good and comes to the table quickly. Service was great. Staci is a wonderful waitress. So nice to have service with a smile. Ambiance is an old school dinner with a flare of modern. The staff are so friendly. When you go to a restaurant in a smaller town with regulars you'd expect a family feel and that's exactly what you get at this restaurant. Even if it's your first time you'll feel at home with smiles and laughter. read more

Down home, comfort spot. Friendly staff, great food, large portions. I recommend the corned beef hash!

What a hidden gem! I travel to the Next Door Cafe on occasion while on day trips from Minneapolis to this incredibly scenic part of Wisconsin. I have the corn beef hash breakfast. It's hard to find corn beef hash without onions (yuck), so this is my go-to order. And the pies! Not to be missed. read more

This is a classic old school small town café - 3.5 stars. Next Door Café is about what you'd expect. They're mostly average. But with a little effort and fine tuning, they could easily be 4 stars...they mostly need to cook the food properly and pay more attention to customers. If they threw in a few local ingredients and better seasoning, they might be able to charge slightly more and possibly elevate everything to 5 stars if they wanted to go that route. Everyone knows there's lots of awesome dairy, eggs, meat, and veggies in Wisconsin, right? The main focus, like most small town cafes, is breakfast. So that's what we ordered. They also have burgers, sandwiches, wraps, slices of pie, along with giant cinnamon & caramel rolls - yum! They have home-made local maple syrup and preserves too! I grabbed a bottle of maple syrup to take home. Both of our breakfasts were decent, nothing to rave about. Pretty much everything was really big though. And the prices are very reasonable. So you can get a bunch of food without breaking the bank. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: 1. My hash browns weren't cooked all the way through. So they had that weird, slightly crunchy mouth feel consistency inside that you get from raw potatoes. Yuck! Easy fix though. 2. My friend's apple pie was under cooked and watery. So it pretty much melted and lost its shape when it was heated up. The crumbles on top were soggy. The apples were crunchy and weren't cooked all the way. It might have needed more emulsifier thickener too. I expect WAY better from a home-made, home-cooked cooked pie. Disappointing! Again, easy fix. 3. Finally, the service kinda sucked. The girl serving us spent most of her time hanging out and talking to an older dude sitting at the back table. (They obviously knew each other.) We heard all about her mom's divorce, a dispute with a co-worker, etcetera, etcetera. I don't mind this sort of thing...but only if you take care of customers first. There was only one other table of customers. But it took her forever to take our first orders. And she never came around to offer us more coffee until she finally returned much later, after all of our food was gone. Customer service first, goof off second. Once again, an easy fix. All of the negatives could be a fluke. It might have been much better if we came on another day. But our first (and only) visit was mostly underwhelming. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

This was a perfect breakfast stop, amazing corned beef! Skillets were wonderful! I recommend this place 100%

Great little spot. Service is excellent as well as the food! We had a huge egg sandwich and an omelet and the Benedict.

Nice little local cafe on main street in New Richmond. It's nothing fancy, but with good food and service at a reasonable price it's worth checking out if you're in the area. We had the scrambled egg skillet, haystack skillet (a biscuit, covered in hashbrowns, eggs and gravy with your choice of meat), and French toast. The skillets were fine, but the French toast really stood out. The batter they use was very flavorful and the toast was grilled to perfection. We used a $30 for $15 Yelp deal so the meal, with a piece of bourbon pecan pie to go, was crazy cheap. But I'd go back for the French toast even without a deal. read more

Great food and wonderful service. Your typical small town cafe with hot coffee and homemade pies.

Our go-to breakfast spot! The staff is efficient and friendly, even on a busy morning. You get seated quickly and your food arrives in a timely manner. My husband always gets a chocolate chip pancake, which is HUGE! And I'm always pleased with their simple egg breakfasts or Saturday special of biscuits and gravy. This is a cozy place to have an awesome breakfast. read more

Excellent breakfast. One waitress and busy. She did a great job! Nothing fancy. Just good solid food.

If you need ambience and lots of wall decorations to entertain you while you eat...don't come here. If you Like really good food at very reasonable prices with friendly service then we'll worth the visit. The smoked pork chop specials are excellent! read more

I have gone here several times before for a breakfast date and their French toast is one of the best things I've had on their menu and their customer service is hands down amazing read more

One of my all time favorite place for a home made type of breakfast. Nothing fancy, but a delicious and fresh breakfast. The perfect place for family breakfast. The only down side to the place is that they don't offered WIFI and I found that very inconvenient. That's the only reason I will give them a 4 star. However, if not having internet it's ok with you, you are in the perfect place! read more

Food is great. Great customer service food is cooked as you requested. Prices are very reasonable.

Today we enjoyed the customer service, upon receiving an over done egg. They made us a new one. The new one was great! The coffee there was good. We enjoyed the wait staff on duty. Smiling faces and happy to help in anyway they can. Thanks for letting us leave with a smile and full belly! read more

In our travels, stopped at this cafe for a late breakfast. The place was easy to get to, parking right out front. The waitress was very nice, lots of options for breakfast, And our meals were delicious, and more then we could eat. read more

In town for the races, my husband and I were looking for a local breakfast place. The Next Door Cafe was exactly what we were looking for. Friendly, attentive staff, plenty of menu choices and delicious breakfasts. So reasonable, too. Next time we're in New Richmond, we'll definitely visit again. read more

I had one of the breakfast skillets. Eggs, hash brown, sausage, and bacon all mixed into one great breakfast. Price was reasonable and service was good. My kids had plenty to eat as the pancakes were large. We even got some breakfast to go for one member in our group that decided to stay in bed. Thanks for a great breakfast! read more

We had had the worst night of travel - a canceled flight, a missed connection, and almost every airport restaurant closed after 7pm... we stopped for food here, and the service was terrific, the coffee was the best, and the breakfasts were perfect... we asked for crisp hash browns - and they *listened* - they really turned around a very lousy start to a trip. When we meander our way back home, we'll stop & check what their dinner menu offers. read more

Our first time here. Service was quick. Food was very good. Great selection and prices. We loved the French toast. Highly recommended... read more

Great cafe. Smaller place with lots of small town charm. Definitely worth a drive. The food and service was all excellent. We're a family of four and all really enjoyed the food, which is rare read more

Our family stopped in for breakfast and were very impressed! It was very busy but the service was great and the food was delicious. Very nice menu with lots of options to choose from. Our group ordered the pancakes, an omelette, breakfast burrito and apple cinnamon French toast and everyone loved what they ordered. The French toast was probably the best I've ever had! This was our first chance eating here but we will definitely be back! read more

Food was great aswell as the service. The waitress was more than willing to help, answer questions, and make recommendations. Great experience, while having to walk to till to pay instead of a bill system at the table was slightly different. Overall I would highly recommend it. Great food, great service and decor was clean and openly seemed kept. read more

Excellent food and exceptional service, food arrives very quickly and it's always tasty. Best Eggs Benedict I've had in years.

Very nice staff. Good simple breakfast. Eggs ham are yummy. Very simple place for simple classic breakfast. Well done.

We stopped in for a late breakfast on a weekday, and couldn't have been more pleased! Every bit of our meal was delicious, and the service was the best. The low prices were a bonus and do not in any wa reflect low quality. My husband says the caramel roll is "gooood"! It smells great! read more

Stopped for lunch, seems like this is more of a breakfast place even at noon. Place is not real large so you end up having to listen to other people's conversations. Best thing they could do is add some music to the place to help prevent this. I love my kids but I would prefer not to hear about other people's kids and their issues. read more

This was a pleasant surprise. Expected small town cafe with dusty knick knacks... quite the opposite. Walked into a small,but uncluttered establishment. Very cozy,modern, clean!!! Then menu was more then sufficient in selection. Pleasant, prompt wait staff brought us a breakfast that was out of this world. I would recommend to everyone.....have already to several. Since we travel that way quite often I'm sure this will be our go to breakfast stop. read more

Went there twice with my wife to meet my mom for breakfast. Nice fresh and hot coffee. Very good staff (kept my wife's coffee topped off) good food and pretty fast too even though they were getting busy. Tried a different meal both times, and it was very good. We will be going back again soon. Tasty loaded hashbrowns, eggs, and pancakes. Can't wait to go back again soon to try the other options on the menu... read more

I have a change of heart after my review in 2016. This morning has become the 3rd time we have a problem with the service. We won't be back. This morning we know we were seen by the staff, but instead acknowledging us and bringing menus,we were ignored. 2 tables receive menus and a greeting after us before we decided to get up and leave. Similar things have happened on two other occasions about 2-3 months apart. read more

It is the best breakfast food you can get in New Richmond. The nicest staff great. The food comes out very fast. I would recommend it to anyone that loves breakfast read more

This diner is breakfast & lunch only, but with the very good food and fair prices, this is one of our favorite places to eat. The hometown atmosphere makes it very welcoming. Having brought friends here on a few occasions has brought positive comments. I recommend this to our friends. read more

Just finished having their steak and eggs breakfast. Nice sized breakfast sirloin. Ordered medium, was definitely well-done, but still tasty. Scrambled eggs and hash browns done to perfection. Wife had eggs with a nice thick French toast. Very good. Cinnamon rolls served warm with a nice light frosting. Great main Street restaurant. Never disappointed. read more

This place always surprises me. The seating area is small, yet modern and always very clean. Service has always been great. The food is good, I haven't chosen an item yet that I wasn't impressed with. I'm a big fan of their breakfast. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable - especially compared to other places in town. read more
