    Great classic diner vibes. Prices I think are very reasonable and plenty of people at tables which I think is a great sign of a great diner. I wanted to order the special of the day which was the fried chicken but my waitress made me feel she didnt want me to order them by saying "This would be an additional 20 minute wait. Are you sure that you want to make your table wait for your food?" So I decided on the sampler since I knew this would be my one time at the diner since we were visiting. BBQ sauce was a little too hot for my liking but loved their ranch and their cheese curds were very good! Thought the breading on my onion rings were good and complimented the onion well. The chicken tenders were just okay. Just regular chicken tenders.

    Always great food and service. Casual diner type atmosphere with extensive menu at reasonable prices.

    "Irish" Benedict

    Great great spot. You might have to wait but well worth it! Staff was on their game. Some great selections. I had the Irish Benedict and would order again

    The food here is delish! I've been here for breakfast and for dinner before. I loved that the menu is expansive but the food is really no frills. It's so good too. My fish was super yummy! I also had the clam chowder with it which was delicious. The restaurant is close to my grandparents home and it was nice that the staff knows them and treats them like royalty. It meant the world to us. It's the best diner nearby and we will return!

    Was a cute place in a small town. We were greeted right away and sat at a table up top. Our server was fantastic she was attentive and easygoing. We have 5 people. We ordered country fried steak and omelets and sprinkle pancakes. The steak was fantastic gravy was just ok. So I was glad I did not get the biscuits and gravy. The pancake looked fabulous and was enjoyed by the child every one had a great meal and was great price. Worth the trip

    Great food, quick service, pleasant atmosphere and parking was easy. The service requires special mention because it was spot on. Every time something was needed , there Laura our waitress was and she came back moments after serving to see if we needed anything else. She could not have been more attentive.

    Nice fluffy pancakes and hash browns were very good.

    I've eaten here a number of times and the service and food is very good. I've only come here for breakfast or lunch - not dinner. Those folks looking for a more reasonably priced meal than Lake Geneva restaurants or the nearby Abbey Resort offer would be happy they made the short drive. The breakfast and lunch food here is every bit as good or better and the service is outgoing and friendly.

    Food was bad and old. Rice was obviously not kept in right conditions. It was obviously old rice and the food is just bad.

    We used to come here for Sunday brunch with my mom before she moved to the west coast - and as she…read morepassed away a year ago today, we decided we'd come here today in her honor, as she always liked the place. I always thought it was fine though not memorable, just your standard buffet, but I've read that they have new owners and I can tell the difference. Now, I can definitely see being a regular here, and coming to check out their other offerings too other than just brunch. Everything I tried was perfectly made, from the prime rib to the eggs benedict (really great!) to the desserts. Even the champagne was excellent! And the service was next level. My brother uses a walker and they gave us a choice of tables (any of them would have worked) and were so helpful in every respect (even accommodating his special request for something that wasn't on the buffet - they have saintly patience!). They were all just so NICE - having just moved back to the midwest from the west coast, I'm still getting used to midwesterner niceness, but even with that everyone here was exceptional. I'm looking forward to coming back not just for brunch, but also bringing friends back for the fish fry, which also sounds great. And for old-fashioneds!

    This place is the real deal supper club. Started with baked…read moreFrench onion soup and corn chowder scratch made from local grown corn. Both were outstanding. French onion soup was particularly wonderful. Not too salty or overloaded with onions like most places serve it. We both had prime rib. What more can I say than perfectly cooked, tender, seasoned nicely served with creamy horseradish sauce. I had the home made au gratins and she had a baked potato. Both great. Baked potato came with a salted skin which is a nice touch. Brandy Alexander for desert. Dinner comes with hot rolls and a relish tray. Owner Dominic came out to ask about our food and service. Also a great touch. Server Liza was the best. Going back next week to try the duck and osso bucco. Don't sleep on this place it's worth the ride.

I'm not a ribs person but that's one of their specialty it's really tender and super tasty. They had like a charcoal chicken it was half the chicken this was super tender and it was cooked so well. I will definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area. Happy eating!

Outside a band was playing, people were enjoying cocktails or food, and kids were frolicking in the water or the sand. The ribs were very good and my friends raved about the fresh-caught walleye. Sadly we' had no room for desert. Very crowded on weekends and parking is a nightmare - we were near 1/2 mile down the road as there are No Mars Parking signs fronted on the lawns of residents. Can't blame them as this place is, as they say, an absolute gold mine. Located about 4 miles from Lake Geneva do include it in your plan; you'll be sorry if you don't!
