We saw reviews for The Diner on yelp. So glad we went! Great staff! Fun ambiance! Amazing food! They even serve burgers on Johnston hard rolls! YUM! We got bacon cheeseburgers, fries, and cheese curds. It was all so good!!! But more than we could eat. They use thick bacon and burgers are all 1/3 pound. We wish we lived in the area so we could go back. Go and Enjoy this fabulous diner! read more

Amazing food, order after order, week after week! We visit on one of the busiest days of the week, and without fail, the diner always draws a crowd. Maybe it's the incredible value, the consistently delicious food, the top-notch service, or even the pie! But above all, I truly believe it's the sense of community shared between the patrons and staff that makes this place so special. There's something about walking into a place where the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and familiar. It has easily become one of my favorite pastimes in Fond du Lac. Always worth the wait, and always worth coming back! read more

The Diner - Diners Near Me - Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

I'm in Fond du Lac for Oshkosh and stopped in The Diner for lunch. It's a great local spot for breakfast and lunch. I had a patty melt and fries that were perfect. Nothing fancy, just good food. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Always support local businesses when you travel. Why would you go to a franchise place where you get the same thing you do at home? Go local for a taste of the place you're in. read more

We went to Fond Du Lac for a night to escape Chicago and do a little hiking. We were lucky to find the Diner, it's truly like stepping back in time to a better time. The traditional comfort food seems to be made by your mom and served up by your awesome aunt. The decor, food and friendliness really take you back to a more wholesome time, even if it's just for a meal. read more

Only place I've ever been to that asks how you want your bacon cooked according to a chart. Great little spot for breakfast.

Fabulous local diner; exactly how you'd imagine it. Hash browns, eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, excellent sausage!! Down home feel, old school. Reasonably priced, compared to the big cities I often eat in. read more

If you're looking for a cute little place with a lot of history for breakfast, check out The Diner. It features a long bar with lots of stools, side tables, and a very interesting atmosphere. We had the eggs, hash, browns, bacon, and toast special and it was pretty good. The service was amazingly fast and very friendly. Give it a try next time you're on Main Street in Fond du Lac. read more

I stopped here at 11:45 am on a Tuesday and the place was packed. I took the last open booth in the place. My server came right over and took my drink order. When she returned with my drink, I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger with fries. The menu was not that large and was lacking typical diner meals. Normally I don't order burgers, but that was the best-looking thing on the menu to me that day. She returned with my burger after a short time, and I was excited to see it. The bun was very fresh and not typical for a burger bun. Under that the bacon looked fresh and meaty, not your typical bacon on a burger. The meat patties were nothing special, but I must tell you, this was a good hamburger. I really enjoyed it. As far as the French fries go, they could use some help. If they would cook the fries longer, that would greatly improve them. They were undercooked in my opinion, and very disappointing compared to the burger. Overall, this is a nice diner in a very old building. The wait staff was good and as far as the food goes, I would stop here and eat again, and I would get the burger.... It really was that good. read more

No frills or fancy meals. Just solid American food at ridiculously low prices. Friendly service, and classic breakfast diner ambiance make this a place I will return to. Did I mention the ridiculously low prices? The most expensive menu item is like $7.00, and adding coffee to that is a whopping $0.50 Connie's is cash-only, but they have an ATM right by the door. read more

The Diner - Lunch menu - Diners Near Me - Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

I wanted to start my day trip with a breakfast from some place that was off the beaten path and one of a kind so I chose this place. This place looks old school on Main St with high ceilings, lunch counter and booths along the walls and it's very tight. The menu is small and cheap with the usual breakfast items. I wanted to keep it simple today so I got 2 eggs, sausage links and toast. Since I was not having hash browns to soak up my yoke I got my eggs over medium which were perfect. The toast was Texas and nicely done. The sausage links were skinless that were tasty and reminded me of the Farmland skinless links. I'm a big fan of the toast sandwich so I put the sausage and eggs on my toast for a breakfast sandwich which was good. For a simple $6 breakfast I can't complain and got just what I was looking for to start my day. read more

A great cafe for early breakfast in Fond Du Lac. It's like stepping back in time with old style breakfast counter and red vinyl booth style seating. I had the corn beef and hash and eggs, cooked just the way I ordered. The coffee was brewed to a good medium, not to dark or watered down. Service was great. A great way to start the rainy day. Now back to Texas!! read more

The waitresses are almost never the same. But i take that as a fault on the owner/cook. Each time i have been here, she has belittled her staff and been verbally abusive in front of a full restaurant of customers. She has also stopped waitresses from taking orders for 30+mins at a time to catch up. Dont have a business if you cant treat people with respect. I dont want to hear yelling at the staff for owner's incompetence when trying to eat read more

Reasonably priced ,friendly workers and atmosphere ,one of my very regular stops ! And convienantly located !

Walk back into time! Always friendly service and great food. Usually go for their breakfast offerings, but recently had their cheeseburger and fries for lunch. Very GOOD! read more

Very friendly atmosphere the opening waitress is awesome! Food is always good! Always feel welcome it just feels like a place you want to be at with friends and family. The owner is nice and cares about the community. You just don't get this at a chain restaurant! read more

We went there because the place looked simple and friendly, and it was. The prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. The pancakes are very good, and I wish I got more than just 1 with my order. My coffee cup was never empty, and I didn't even have to ask for more. The only downside to this place, cash only. We rarely carry cash with us. So bring cash, and you're set to go. read more

Simple old fashioned Diner in Fond du Lac . Packed when we got there and packed when we left , lots of History be sure to read the back of the menu . Food was decent but the booth , number one , was almost impossible to get into and I am of a size that would not normally make this happen . I've never been in such a tiny booth in my entire life , and my husband is six four so you can imagine we were in tight quarters . I think it'd be nice if they just got rid of that booth because all the other tables have a lot more room than we did . Overall a very nice experience . read more

Stopped in here five months ago and come back almost every Thursday. Great old time diner and just an awesome breakfast. You can taste the quality in a second. And they are ALWAYS singing Happy Birthday to someone! Too funny! This place is a must! read more

Cute little spot that was jam-packed on a Saturday morning. A good problem to have for a city like Fond du lac. The food was good and service fine for a busy morning. They have enough of a demand but you need to keep the customers you already have, happy. Suggestions: -Get rid of some of the tables. We walked in at 11am and did not even order until 11:40. OR Get rid of the last bar section and put up a display case to sell pre-made goods like pies, donuts etc. -Purchase another grill; it was 11:53 and there were 9 tickets still waiting to be done. Adding a grill behind a display case might be nice for those who "don't want to know how their food is made". -They have a pretty limited menu but even removing a couple of the more random things could make food prep smoother. Disclaimer: I haven't gone a weekday morning so maybe these aren't such big issues. Good things: -The butter sauce try put on all their roasts. -The prices, I would hope are perfect for Fond du lac. -There was a definite effort to keep things clean. Overall: cute diner but only go on a Saturday if you have some extra time. read more

Good local place, kind of a hidden gem. Great home-cooked food wonderful service, show up a couple times and they always know who you are! We travel often and don't find places like this every day. read more

Collage girls run the place with Connie and let me tell you they're no saints . Rude when they realize they're the ones that messed up youre order and try to put it on you . What happend to customers always right ? They're is no sense of respect from those girls . Not sure if they can't handle being told they messed up i ordered a cheese omelette and when I called back to tell them I had gotten a ham omelette the blonde collage girl said "no yu said ham I took youre order and you orderd ham I'm not wrong " like okay why are you so defensive and yes she did have a attitude when replying I absolutely hate it here and hope Connie gets a wake up call about her staff read more

What a great little diner located downtown Fond du Lac. Went there on a Friday morning around 9:30am and every booth was taken. We were lucky there were some spots open at the counter. This was a hot spot for the older locals and they were all to themselves, unless you say hi to them yourself. Our service was super quick. My friend said it was too quick as our server never let our coffee cups go empty. The food is simple and cheap. Eggs with any side of meat that you want for a few bucks. I got a $4 breakfast sandwich and that was one of the most expensive items on the menu. I also got some corned beef as a side. The food was great when you consider it coming from a dinner. There was four of us and our bill together was $23! Yeah, that's cheap. Only downside was you're going to end up smelling like the food as the kitchen where the food is cooked is in front of the counter. I'm glad we went when we did because there was a small line of people waiting to get a spot. A favorite spot of mine when I'm in Fond du Lac. read more

This past weekend was our first visit since new ownership. This was always a frequent stop for me as a child with my now past grandpa. I intend to do the same with my little as it has the same amazing atmosphere, food, and customer service with extremely friendly prices. Only issue I had with my first visit under new management is the way the staff and owner treated the cook during our visit. As they all sat and visited and giggled talking crap about how terrible the cook was doing, he was working his butt off ( struggling at that, but none the less TRYING) trying to cook all by himself for the entire restaurant. A little bit of humility, empathy, patience, and help go a long way. If I had been treated the way that cook was treated in our 30 min visit as an employee, I would quit on the spot. Y'all are a TEAM, treat each-other better. I personally went out of my way to let him know I appreciate him and that he is doing good for you! Other than that keep up the great work, can't wait to come again . read more
