    Egg, sausage and pepper jack cheese on a plain bagel & a side of hash with OJ
    Trev S.

    Very welcoming and it felt like eating at home. The breakfast sammy was so so good. The oj was so dang good. The seating was so you didn't have to scrunch in anywhere. I'm a big dude and everything felt just right.

    We were rather confused upon arrival since no one informed us to wait to be seated or to just sit. After overhearing a conversation with staff and another customer, we realized it was a seat yourself situation. After we sat down, a host arrived to give us menus and give us drinks. We then sat for about 5 minutes before a waitress came over and took our order. She delivered our order fairly quick. The food was reasonably priced, but was nothing special. About a 1/4 of the way through our food, we both needed refills. Our waitress did not stop back once, nor did she walk past for us to ask. We ended up asking the hostess that was clearing our plates for refills and that was after considering getting up to do it ourselves. After that, we sat patiently waiting for our waitress to make the final arrival at our table to deliver the check. For a place that had such great reviews for the food, it was a let down. As far as the service, we would've been happy if one of the 3-4 hostesses running around had stopped by our table for a refill or a check in as well, but unfortunately, service was lacking.

    Blue Gill Fish Fry and  baked potato.... Delicious!

    Great food, great portions. Also Veteran Owned. Friday Fish Fry, including blue gill.

    I came here after watching some competitive food eaters do a challenge here. Now, there isn't anything that I could find about this challenge so not sure how much they are advertising it, but the food looked great so I had to go check it out. I went for a late breakfast and struggled with what I wanted. I was excited to discover you could get a side of the corned beef hash so I went with the country fried steak and had to get a side of breakfast links. The corned beef hash was really and I can see it being better with an over easy egg on top. The sausage links were a healthy size and tasted pretty wonderful. My favorite thing though was that sausage gravy. I seriously feel it's the best I remember ever having. I am going back soon to try the biscuits and gravy. The value here is also something to note. I found the prices to be a great value with the amount and quality of food I received. Because of that, I can see why the place had a ton of regulars in there. While I don't eat out for breakfast a ton, this place may change that.

    This was the restaurant of the week to try out since I'm in Waukesha frequently. This review isn't a bad review and more of a strange prime rib experience review. The place is weird looking because it's got an old school vibe with the low lunch counter/stools and semi modern tables, exposed brick with wood walls. It seems like a family run businesses with people called grandpa and grandma by the younger guy. I ordered a Bloody Mary spicy hurt me style and it was pathetic looking and far from hurt me. I ordered the prime rib dinner extra rare that comes with a home made dinner roll that I declined because I don't care for bread and butter like previous generations. The prime rib has bourbon glazed carrots, sautéed mushrooms and mashed potatoes with gravy. My prime rib looked awful because it had a brown hue to it instead of the pink hue I'm used to and no herbed/seasoned crust at all. The bourbon glazed carrots were awful because the were cooked to mush like baby food. The mushrooms were sliced paper thin so my fork was useless as a fork and I had to shovel them up and stick the meat with most falling off. The mashed potatoes and gravy were bland with no seasoning. The prime rib was bland because of no seasoned crust and not rare but not medium either so it's the weirdest prime rib I have ever had. On the plus side it wasn't super lean so it had nice flavorful fat in the meat and once salted it was very good, I hate a super lean prime rib because fat is flavor. Here's where the review goes off the rails and despite not getting the red rare slab of meat I'm used to it was super tender and very moist/juicy with no chewy weird pieces. It was actually quite good and I suspect the the whole rib roast was over cooked to start with and there was no way I was ever getting any red meat from it so if your not a red meat person for prime rib I would get the prime rib here but the sides are super average.

    Spicy Bloody Mary with bacon, bread n butter pickle and a block of cheese.

    Best Mom and Pop place we have been to in a while!! My husband said 'mark this as a place to come back to!" The owners were mixing drinks, delivering them and running the register. Food was delicious, drinks great and service was wonderful! No wait time at noon on Sunday, everything was quick and efficient!

    Country fried steak over medium eggs

    Best breakfast around. Period . Usually don't like to eat out because I'm always disappointed but this place is great. Smiling faces , good fast service. And great homemade style dishes

    Another day off brunch with my husband. We wanted to try something new. We arrived around 10 a.m. and were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly and the restaurant was clean. It wasn't very busy with only about 4-5 other people. The coffee was okay. I prefer stronger coffee. It wasn't acidic. I ordered the Meat Lovers Skillet. I didn't have a choice of how the egg was cooked. There were some sausage, ham, bits of bacon and eggs. Potatoes were deep fried and seasoned with seasoned salt. The hot sauce was not very spicy and had some floral taste to it. My husband thought it was fruity like pineapple. Overall not bad. Prices are not bad. Value for price paid was good. Is that the saying? If it was any pricier I would probably not recommend.

    Came here for lunch with a friend on a Monday afternoon. Got there about 11:30 and it was pretty…read moreslow, one table currently seated. It took about 5 minutes for someone to show up to seat us but after that I would say the service was pretty quick. Since it was slow it was pretty quiet in the restaurant which allowed for normal conversations. We both ordered burgers and overall enjoyed what we ordered. I ordered the Bacon Bleu burger which has good flavor but the bottom bun got soggy and I had to flip the burger when putting it down. I noticed my friend also did the same things so assuming his bottom bun was also soggy. The fries were pretty standard. I had ordered a side of ranch which came half way through the meal, so good thing I still had some fries available. I wouldn't shy away from coming back here, especially for lunch.

    Friday Night: We reserved a high top table in the bar area…read moreas I like a bit of commotion and enjoy the busyness of a restaurant. That was a mistake. A rather large party came in and had to wait for their table and the overflow was close to our table. One woman's hood from her jacket was close to one of our plates.. The very nice a capable waitress, Meghan, tried to push them closer to the bar and did apologize for the inconvenience . The food: - Cup of Clam Chowder which had plenty of clam, tasted good, and was a bit starchy but would certainly have it again - Almond Coated Whitefish: I am not much of a fish fan and prefer firm fish when I do order it, but thought I would give it a try. It was very tasty and well prepared with an imaginative garnish - Perch Fish Fry. My wife said it was very good with a serving of 5 filets and the usual sides. - Wine was a couple of glasses of Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc which was very good. It did not have the crispness of a New Zealand or Australian SB and was more like a very awake Chardonnay. this was our second time there in a week as we are looking for a "go-to" restaurant on Fridays. The limited menu may not allow that to happen.
