I've drive by this old schoolhouse a million times, but never stopped in until today. I really enjoyed my first breakfast at Red School Cafe! There's lots of parking in the gravel lot; several cute planters ring the entrance and outdoor patio. The cafe has several counter seats and maybe 10 tables indoors (there's also a covered outdoor patio with additional seating in warmer months). This is a first-come-first-serve sort of place; when you come in, you wait in line until a table or counter seat opens up. All of the waitstaff was cheerful and helpful and came around with fresh coffee a few times. I had a veggie omelet with a berry cup and sourdough toast. The veggies were cooked nicely with just the right amount of browning and flavor. There were a lot of interesting specials (country meatloaf with eggs and potatoes, for example) and the coffee and ice team were super fresh. We'll be back! read more

Not sure that I have much to add being that I only stopped by in a desperate search for coffee. If this cafe isn't the epitome of small town life, I don't know what is. Legitimately a converted schoolhouse, you get the feel of that as all. As you walk in to the dining room. There is a nice covered porch area for outdoor seating. The waitress was kind and quickly grabbed me a coffee to go. For a diner coffee, I was actually impressed by the palatability and overall just grateful to get some caffeine in me! read more

Red School Cafe - Exterior - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bristol, Wisconsin

This review was flagged and removed - so I am posting this again. This is my actual experience at Red School Cafe......this is not a fake post. Original Post: Ya know, it's a little old school they turned into a breakfast joint. Eggs were on point, bacon tasted like bacon, pancakes were average. Coffee I was told was good. The service sucked. After getting our food the waitress never came back, she was too busy chatting with someone for 20 mins about 5 feet over. Also, since it's a small space you leave smelling like grease. Not what I want to smell like all day. read more

Good all around breakfast/lunch menu at still modest prices. Very friendly service and cozy dining that's kept very clean. This place serves late breakfast, which is very convenient if you get a late start in the morning. Excellent waffles! If you're in the area, stop at the Red School Cafe. read more

Nice little restaurant in a historic building! We went on a Sunday afternoon and the weight staff was not attentive and it was not busy neither. My wife chose the biscuit with sausage and gravy. and found it to be OK. I was supposed to get scrambled on it and I got a fried egg instead. I got the number two combo which was two pancakes, bacon, and a choice of eggs which I went with scrambled and mine were scrambled as ordered.. I did enjoy the fact that they had blueberry, strawberry, and maple syrup for the cakes!. I did feel that the restaurant could've had some music playing in the background as well. read more

Great atmosphere and good food. Be careful about them sneaking in a 3% "convenience" fee (??!) on your bill. No explanation what this is and only figured out while paying and did not feel like arguing. read more

Used to go here all the time service was quite different much better sat at the counter waitresses playing grab ass gabbing about personal shit instead of taking orders and tending to customers food came to the counter cold everything tasted pre-cooked not what I remember way overpriced for breakfast food $45 for two people to have breakfast not OK read more

Have always loved Red School. We went yesterday, portions smaller, costs higher. Potatoes used to be one of favorite parts of breakfast, but they were raw n greasy. Not edible. Convenience fee added to check, even though paying with cash. read more

I am extremely disappointed with the experience my mother had at your establishment. She visited with my 1-year-old child, and during the meal, my son began choking on a cracker. My mother cried out for help and shouted, yet none of your staff offered assistance. They simply stood and stared, showing no concern whatsoever--not during the incident and not afterward. No one asked if they could help or even if the baby was okay. This lack of response during a life-threatening situation is unacceptable and deeply troubling. To make matters worse, the atmosphere felt discriminatory from the very beginning, which only added to the distress. The service was also slow and unkind, compounding an already negative experience. I urge you to take immediate action to address staff training, emergency response protocols, and customer care standards. Incidents like this should never happen. read more

Love this quaint adorable resturant . The food is delicious. They make it how you request the meal They take credit cards now The owners and wait staff are great friendly people The are only open for breakfast brunch lunch Sometimes you have to wait for a table but it's worth it They are busy on the weekend Biscuits and gravy and cinnamon French toast are yummy read more

Red School Cafe - Chalkboard menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bristol, Wisconsin

This cute little spot is a favorite of ours with a nice variety of menu items and great service that is quick and friendly!

Best kept secret (except for the locals) little breakfast joint in Kenosha. Good breakfast and country atmosphere. A little small when busy but a great place to meet a friend for Not a reasonable priced country diner anymore. Used to stop in here time to time for breakfast but not anymore. I ordered biscuits and gravy and my son ordered a omelette. B&G not that great (bland) and the omelette was ok. Charged us $7.50 for two coffees (no refill). Total bill was $32. Still nice quaint little country diner. read more

Tiny and cute. There are about 4-5 stairs to get to the main restaurant area. There's a 3% discount if you pay with cash. Very good ham and cheese omelettes. Pancake just ok, bacon also ok if you like it crispy. Lots of employees for a small place and everyone was super friendly. read more

Was heading north and saw this place. Stopped by to grab a quick breakfast and it was amazing. We were seating immediately and were offered coffee.

Food was good if a bit plain. The service was really good. Prices were a bit high but the kicker that stopped 5 star was the up charge for using a credit card. Any place that does deserves a down check of 1 star. read more

We came here from a recommendation from a regular and we're glad we stopped by. Red School Cafe is on the border of Illinois/Wisconsin and it's in a historic school house. The entire time I ate here I kept imaging what it would be like if I attended school there. What i loved about it was the super friendly service. There were a ton of regulars and you could tell that the staff knew certain people by name and/or their orders. I loved that warm friendly vibe. The menu was very very simple. They have a small menu (not a lot of choices for a vegetarian menu) but it was fresh and fast. Cash only. Plenty of parking. Open early too! read more

Love the food and the atmosphere. The portion sizes just right. The staff, especially Brittani G who was our server, were very attentive to our needs. A little bit of a wait, but well worth it. We recommend it to our friends and neighbors. read more

Oh my gosh a hidden gem! This place was AWESOME!!! Food was great, service was top notch. Options galore on the menu. We went in winter, but will definitely be back to enjoy the outdoor seating in warmer weather. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

The food is good and they use high quality ingredients. But it is another southern WI place geared toward tourists but only friendly to locals. Expect to get passed over by staff while they have conversations with locals until you have to walk up to the bar to place an order (and get rude attitude to top it off). I'd say the locals are a plus because it's entertaining. Lots of older guys talking on speaker phones, always about "politics", and don't you dare ask them to tone it down. So, to repeat - decent food and high prices with local entertainment and poor service. read more

Love this little historic school house atmosphere and their food. Rhonda was our server and did a great job on timing and refilling coffee and was very friendly and helpful. We had the chalkboard with great corned beef hash, eggs, hash browns and a pancake and a special Blueberry Oreo Crunchy French toast. Their specials always combine fruit with sauces and filling this time blueberry cream cheese and blueberry sause. Oreo on top with whipped cream and just the right amount of crumbled Oreos around. read more

The food was fine. I'm not happy that there was a fee for using a credit card that I was not warned about prior to ordering.

First time in having driven by it hundreds of times. Heard there were new owners a while back so I can only go on todays meal - it was great. Cute place with friendly people. Big menu so be prepared. Eggs were perfectly prepared and all other sides were great. Can't wait to get back - on my list for breakfast places now. read more

Went red school cafe today! Food was good Quantity was small Service was okay and wasn't busy Would try again. read more

New owners have taken over a long time favorite. Amazingly they have been able to successfully make great better. A wider and more diverse menu provides a bevy of choices. I've been there 5 times since the transition and have never ordered the same thing twice. Regardless of what I've ordered, I've always been delighted by the taste, quality and quantity of food I've received. This without doubt the best place for breakfast in the area! read more

I met up with an old friend who wanted to try this place. Red School Cafe is comfort diner food at it's best. They have plenty of breakfast options varing from eggs and pancakes to custom skillets. Table or counter seating is yours to choose from when dining. The cafe is cozy and perfect for a warm breakfast on a cold winter day. It's one of my favorites in the area because of the quality and the early hours (opens at 6am). Stop on in if you are in or live in the area! read more

Food is good. Family oriented service . A little tight inside but the new ownership has a goal to open it up. Don't go there so when my family and I go we can find a place to sit. read more

updated menu same great service great food outdoor deck added with umbrellas. And now open everyday!!

We are back. My family stopped coming when the new owners took over because they put a big TV in a one room schoolhouse which completely took away from the ambiance. The staff ans service have always been excellent and I have two more grandchildren out of 10 that hadn't got to experience The RSC. I decided just to try again and was so happy to see the TV was off ( thanks Brittany) the food is great and the service is as always superior. They have a new pancake recipe that is amazing!!! New Air conditioning ( bring a jacket) Love it! read more
