    Chicken dumpling soup and homemade roll
    Brooke s.

    I have been to the Pine Cone several times now, it has become an anticipated Thanksgiving week tradition. The Pine Cone has large serving sizes of home cooked meals, breads, and desserts for unheard of prices! The food is wonderful and so is the staff. It's hard to find places like this these days!!

    One of our favorite spots to stop in while passing through. We absolutely love the chicken dumpling soup and roll. Nothing is small at Pinecone! When we arrived this time the dining room was closed and the only seating was at the counter. We did eventually get seated at a booth, but super stressed as the counter seats are not really ideal for a group of 4. Our server, Kathy, was so patient with me as I was kind of frustrated about the seating at the counter and not wanting to invade the space of the person next to me. My husband says the eggs benedicts here are, hands down, the best he's had. Both my husband and daughter had the eggs benedicts, my son had hashbrowns with cheese and I had the cinnamon French Toast. Three of us had the chicken dumpling soup with a roll. Then we bought a cookie, carrot cake, cheesecake brownie and something that was chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and covered in chocolate...goodness!

    Eggs Benedict, hash browns, corned beef hash, a pancake, a waffle, chicken tenders and fries, & Southern Breakfast.

    This is always our go-to on the way home from the Dells. Affordable and yummy! Good service. Also fun to grab some of their giant rolls and some bakery on the way out.

    Cream of potato soup with coleslaw and roll

    Quick and easy place to stop on the way to/from the Dells. Stopped for dinner on the way home this time; my husband had chicken tender platter with fries and I had Salisbury steak dinner with mashed potato's, both came with soup, coleslaw and roll. Everything was decent but nothing amazing this time. Their baked goods used to be the main reason for stopping; everything is still humongous but the quality and taste isn't the same as a few years ago.

    Cod and fries. Includes tartar sauce and melted butter.

    We had a great meal! The price and quality were on point. The stuffed pepper and chicken dumpling soups were both fantastic. The rolls included were huge. This was a meal itself when paired with a salad. We enjoyed the cod and meatloaf dinners as well. The staff was nice and welcoming. The bakery case was tempting, but earlier in the day, we stopped at the Pine Cone Travel Center. We tried an éclair to split. It was huge. So good. We will definitely return when in the area.

    1/1/25 Substitute salad for cottage cheese big dinner roll Diet Pepsi.

    01/2025 Just a little updated it's been a couple of years Still one of my favorite old school truck stops Came in for dinner here on New Year's Day. I ordered the walleye breaded fried fish dinner. Was a nice good piece of walleye they brought out. Had a baked potato butter and sour cream on. One of their big old dinner rolls. Diet Pepsi. substituted salad for cottage cheese and no problem with that Still 24/7 food is still excellent. Servers that we're working this particular dinner shift were very cordial and friendly. So I'm still leaving it at the full five bar of Stars You can see why this not only has a strong following with old school truckers don't want to get home cooked meal healthier or not LOL but also a lot of locals still like to come here

    You can't see it, but the massive, delicious Biscuit is under very flavorful, homemade sausage gravy. Perfectly seasoned.

    All travel plazas/ truck stops should BE like this! The parking lot is full for a reason, but don't worry, you will find a spot outside and inside. There are booths and counter service. I sat at the counter cause that is great. You can see the action of these fast and efficient hosts. I wish I was hungrier, but I wanted just the biscuit and gravy, something we don't have at home. This was absolutely delicious. Everything here tastes , homemade. Perfectly seasoned gravy with the huge biscuit. The roast beef, sandwiches, burgers, breakfasts, and specials looked good too. The Pine Cone takes you back to a time I hope we never lose. A classic diner, very clean and classic inside. Welcoming and tasty. And the bakery area! Sinful pastries, breads, donuts and cookies. Visit the Pine Cone on your way to Madison or the Dells. Outlet center is behind it. A must when in the area.

    Pancakes and smoky links
    Liz A.

    I love The Pine Cone! It's an amazing hop on, hop off the freeway on my way to Madison from Milwaukee. They classic dinners like ham, chicken and turkey. They have burgers and sandwiches. Breakfast is served all day! Their bakery window will draw you in upon entrance and upon leaving when you pay your bill at the register. Service is fast! Most of the time you seat yourself. There is a diner counter, and tables. I've had quite a few meals here and most recently I went with pancakes for lunch. They were delicious as were the smoky links that came with them. My boyfriend loved his double cheeseburger. And the price is right, very reasonable. Give this place a try. Plus the shell gas station has decently priced gas.

    This is a Rueban...? Saurkraut and sauce asked to be put on the side. But forget that. The "corned beef"..

    Gross... would they cooks feed this to their families? I didn't want a replacement of that "corned beef" again. I dont typically like to complain, but seeing that disgusting sandwich, that's just a bad cook, who takes no pride in his job. Pinecone used to be really good, but it's definitely gone downhill. They should make the cooks take a bite of what's sent back from lack of attention and pride. Just gross.

    Pastry case
    Ophelia M.

    Listen...this place rocks socks and totally took me by surprise. Was driving home from Madison to Milwaukee and stopped off at the Johnson Creek outlets so the kiddo could get a new pair of crocs. After shopping, we were looking for a little lunch. This place was so conveniently close that we decided to stop here. It's basically a truck stop diner and when comparing to other truck stop diners I've been to, this spot blows them out of the water. First thing to note: when you enter it's a seat yourself and your server will bring you menus kinda spot. No need to wait to be seated. As you enter, to the left is primarily diner counter seating. If you follow the hallway to the right, there are plenty of booths and tables for larger groups. We opted for a booth and were quickly met by our server who brought menus and water. I ordered their chef salad. I loved that you could opt for turkey instead of ham (which I did) and that they served it with ample dressing on the side. It also comes with a dinner roll that was as big as a small plate--it was huge, nicely warmed up, and absolutely delicious (gimme all the buttered carb goodness). As we left, we perused their pastry case which was astounding. The have the biggest cream puffs, eclairs, and cinnamon rolls that I've ever seen. Would definitely recommend this spot if you love a sweet breakfast. Get to it!
