Absolutely love that they are still in business!! Their breakfast with pancakes always hits the spot! Love stopping by whenever I'm back in town! read more

Was in town for work and wanted somewhere to stop for a quick breakfast and this place did not disappoint. It was in a very unassuming location but was so cute and old school inside, it brought me back. I sat at the counter and got an order of pancakes and bacon. The pancakes were amazing. The bacon was a little too thin and crispy for my taste but I still love bacon. This was a great spot! read more

Schreiner's Diner - Pancakes and bacon - Diners Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

A good, straightforward diner for breakfast. Has changed owners and is now called The Brunch Box. Service and food pretty much the same as Schreiner's, which is good. Nice to sit at the counter where you can see them cooking. Had the corned beef hash and eggs and would do it again. read more

Had breakfast buffet out of meat had to ask for them to get some. Waffles were so hard couldn't eat them. Gravy for the biscuits had such a film on the top. We were there 45 min and not once did someone come out to check the buffet or stir anything. read more

It is now called the Brunch Box. The name changed a few weeks ago. Their drip coffee is good. They seem to have some regular breakfast folks they know by name. Food was a solid breakfast, I would return if I am back in the area. read more

Awesome every time .... Just good food and a appropriate kitschy atmosphere , can't beat it it's just good try it you will like it

What's not to love?! Excellent service from a friendly, attentive server. We had a table up front where we could watch one woman making breakfast for every table in the place. At one point she had nine tickets (orders) up. I saw strips of bacon going onto the griddle (not precooked) and my scrambled eggs were obviously individual eggs that were scrambled (not premixed with filler, like restaurants often have). We consider ourselves pancake connoisseurs and these were perfection. They're served with a small cup of butter (vs many individually wrapped packers) and have a nice crisp to the edge. American fries were likely baked then diced and fried as they were firm but not undercooked. The sausage was juicy and flavorful. I ordered my English muffin toasted "dark" and it came that way. I'm not a coffee drinker, but the coffee drinkers at my table said the coffee was excellent. Everyone loved their food. read more

It's not Schreiner's anymore, it's called The Brunch Box. New owner got rid of all original staff. Service was terrible, food totally changed. No Thanks read more

It's been awhile since I traveled the Eastern half of Wisconsin. There used to be a restaurant, 50 years ago, called Schreiners in Fond du lac that was a family dining restaurant with linens, china and silverware. Sadly, they closed due to Covid in 2020. When I found out this restaurant was in Appleton I wondered if they were related and decided to visit when I was on my way to a vacation. We stopped for a quick lunch, and ordered Reuben sandwich, Fried chicken sandwich and a Salad plate. The salad plate was very filling and had a delicious, bleu cheese dressing. The Reuben has good enough that when my son couldn't finish it all he took it in a carryout box and and enjoyed it a couple of days later. Mine was the Fried chicken sandwich, made with 2 large chicken strips and served on a homemade bun, cut in half. I never found out if the Diner was related to the traditional restaurant we loved, but the food was very good and definitely comfort food to get you down the road. read more

This restaurant is under new ownership. We were told by some of the regulars. They were very busy. We quickly got a table and waited a while for the waitress to take our order. Then we waited minimally a half hour for our food. The story is they are working off a small grill. While everyone was very pleasant and the customers were very friendly, It seemed like a very long time to wait. The coffee kept coming. which makes things easier. My omelet was good. My husband's was good for the most part. His scrambled weren't as fluffy as he likes them Good luck, AJ. You've got a great place. Just work out the kinks We'll give it another try. read more

This is our go-to weekend morning diner when we have time for a quick bite out before we hit the weekend plans. My man gets a Denver omelette sub Turkey for the ham/nos cheese because he doesn't eat red meat or dairy. It's a weird order, but they happily comply and it tastes great. My regular is the perpetual weekend special - Eggs Benedict - generous helping of seemingly home made hollandaise and perfectly cooked poached eggs. Nothing flashy, but buttery lemon eggy yum on top of ham and an English muffin. The blueberry pancakes are the best in town, and my family is into pancakes! Something in that pancake batter gives it a unique flavor and perfect fluff with crispy edges. My only negative is sometimes the coffee is a little off - like metallic and not strong enough for me! read more

Very ordinary looking place, but the food is amazing. We had a young toddler who got Breakfast as did the other adult. I has baked fish and it was so good. I definitely recommend this. Great service and great food. read more

This place is not a "hole in the wall" at all, based on other reviews I've read. Everything's clean, waitresses are super friendly, and you can custom order tor breakfast np. I turned the Mexican omelette into a skillet on req, which is awesome, because i judge every restaurants meal on the Mexican skillet. The coffee isn't boiling, so i can actually drink it, and the food is great. Definitely visiting again. read more

Stopped by for breakfast around 8:00am 3/8. Had the Farmers Omelette. Service was great, clean and friendly staff. Price and portion size were great. read more

This is an excellent family diner experience. I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to try 2 of my favorites that I rate all breakfast restaurants by... biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict. It was a definite touchdown here. Very flavorful sausage gravy and the hollandaise sauce had this evolving flavor as I savored every bite. Well worth the wait to finally try this gem of place on Oneida St. It is all about flavor and this place has got it. read more

Don't judge it by the outside. I had the strawberry pancakes with whip cream and side of ham. Both were excellent. Don't forget to check the specials board. read more

Good food good service. That's all I have to say I am just writing more so I can post this as a review and not a tip.

My boss and I decided to check this place out instead of eating the continental breakfast at our hotel. It was pretty busy for how late in the morning we were able to make it there by, but they had room at the counter so we sat there. Our waitress was quick to take our drinks and you could tell she was super busy, but still very friendly. You can see the cook from your seats too and that guy can cook! I opted for the veggie omelette with "American Fries". These are actually really good, crunchy hashbrowns/homefries. Our food came out quick and it was hot and filling. My omelette had more veggies in it than I expected so that was a nice surprise. They do not take American express and the name is spelled incorrectly on here according to every other search.. in case you are trying to find it via your GPS. It should be Schreiner's. read more

Really good family diner. Bacon was realllyyyy tasty, whatever they cook it in is dopeeeee (I don't wanna know haha)! Friendly neighborhood people and staff. Coffee was a little "old dudes sitting in McDonald's at 6:20am bitter" but whatevvss. Hannah is super cool. read more

The food here is good and cheap. The ceiling, however, is effing disgusting. As I sit here trying to eat my Ruben sandwich I'm doing my best to not vomit. Someone needs to bring the health department in here- a 4 foot circumference around the air vents is 1/4" thick with dust bunnies, dangling off the suspended ceiling. Gross. Ever check into using a vacuum? read more

I give this 4 stars because it's a great diner. If you're looking for a wide selection of classic diner fare, it''d be hard to top this place. Good for breakfast or lunch. Stopped by on the way out of town based on reviews. Was not disappointed. Solid food in a classic diner setting. read more

For a classic diner meal with great service, a classic atmosphere and a chance to see the owner and chef work like a wizard in the kitchen, this is the place to go. They remember you. Even though I moved away and come much less often, it's nice to be remembered. They never rush you so you can truly relax and enjoy an American classic. read more

Absolute piss poor service. If you're not a regular to the restaurant they completely disregard you for others. Five of my friends and myself went in for a nice breakfast. We were told "It'll be about 10 minutes" After a half hour of waiting and watching several different customers be seated before us we finally decided to try somewhere else. I will never stop back in this poor excuse of a restaurant. read more

Exactly what u want and expect from a diner for breakfast. Fast, local, filling, and good.

This is a great home town dinner. The meat is from Jacob's Meat market. You know that Luke Jacob made the hamburger fresh almost daily. We have to support business that support locally. Please try the soup and save room for pie. It is so good. read more
