    Waffle with chicken and Vegetable Omelette
    Olivia S.

    First time visit and very pleased. Very Busy on a Sunday morning, but we were still quickly seated and served. Food was delicious! Would go back in a heartbeat. Just maybe on a less busy day.

    Breakfast burrito
    Andrew I.

    We stopped in here for breakfast on Mother's Day. It was very crowded which I expected. Luckily the wait was only about five minutes. There's lots of tables including the countertop. There is a small amount of parking in the front, and a lot more in back. They have two entrances for both parking areas. The service was great. All the employees were on top of their game considering how crowded it was and the pressure of it being Mother's Day. I was very disappointed in the food. I got a breakfast burrito. Very bland and not enough salsa for my liking. The home fries inside had no flavor. They give a side of home fries with the burrito. The only reason I finished the home fries was because the homemade ranch dip they brought out. I give the ranch 5 out of 5. I would consider coming back for lunch or dinner but wouldn't come back for breakfast.

    London Broil Wrap

    Ordered food for delivery. Our food was delicious and actually hot. The only things that kept this Diner from was just a few small preference things for me. My wrap came with french fries however I was craving french fries with melted cheese and gravy. I would have preferred to be able to substitute the fries that came with it for a smaller side of the ones I actually wanted. In the wrap the green peppers for my preference were not cut small enough for me. My husband ordered the chicken fingers as You can see from my pic they were golden brown, crispy, yet still juicy. My order the steak wrap was nicely filled with steak, green peppers, mushrooms, and some nicely sautéed onions. Finally was my craving of the night french fries with melted cheese and gravy. These were perfect - the right amount of cheese and gravy. 100% recommend Red Colony Diner.

    Cheese Quesadilla
    Amanda W.

    If I wanted sloppy frat house food I would have stayed home. There is nothing more disappointing than eating a meal out that could have been better cooked at home. The nachos were burnt on the edges and only contained cheese and black olives, sloppy thrown together and lazily assembled- it was missing onions and tomatoes. (Which the waitress failed to rectify) The cheese quesadilla had an abundance of uncooked, raw chunks of onions that made it hard to eat (if your planning on kissing someone I highly recommend you steer clear - otherwise it's Ogre nation). To be ignored by a server who could care less about customer service and didn't have the decency to refill an elderly woman's water is just next level lackadaisical (when it's dead inside - wouldn't you want to be attentive to customers) it was just overall an underwhelming and frustrating experience. However to leave on a somewhat positive note, the star of the show was the French fries and that's just sad when you realize they resemble Ore-Ida crinkle cut fries. Will definitely be taking my business else where, being high wouldn't even help make consuming this food more enjoyable, when it's barely edible. At the very least the AC was pumping nicely.

    Walked in through the back door, as the small lot out front was full. We waited by the counter for someone to help us. We were eventually greeted, told them a table for 2, but was then told to go to the front and someone would help us. No one else was waiting and no one that worked there was by the front, but eventually someone came out. We were seated quickly. I ordered 2 eggs over hard with hash browns, rye toast and corned beef hash. My husband ordered 2 eggs over easy. Our food came out quickly. My eggs were not done over hard, they were runny, so I had to wait for the waitress to check in. She took them and brought them back quickly cooked more. The food was good. Serving size was generous for the $. We would go back

    Food is ok. Prices are pretty high. Staff is friendly. I've noticed there is a high turnover with the workers.

    I have nothing but great things to say. Was there on Saturday 3/10/23 for a late breakfast. Ordered an eggs dish for myself and a grilled cheese for my wife. Food was fresh and tasty. Sevice was friendly and efficient. Not many diners I'd rate 5 stars, but Red Colony was on point. We WILL be back!

    Chicken Florentine Soup special - OMG. This was INCREDIBLE! I wish I took a  quart home!

    Delicious food and the staff is so nice and welcoming! Kid Friendly is always a plus! They brought my son a water and coloring items without asking!

    So so disappointed. I thought the food was really good during their grand opening week. Well, that was then and this is now. I ordered a burger and it did not taste like the one in my initial review. It was standard and just ok. Maybe they switched to lower quality meat source. The burger looked and tasted like a pre frozen Patty. The coleslaw wasn't cold and was just ok. My sister had a grilled chicken wrap that had big chunks of flavorless chicken. My father had to send his stew back because it was thick gritty. The staff was nice and so they switched it to pot roast which was worse. It tasted like cheap quality meat reminiscent of old institutional fare at a hospital. Sad but I won't be returning.

    We are glad to see Red Colony Diner return to Brookfield after so many years. My wife and I have been waiting for them to reopen at the same spot. We have missed having a diner in our town. We ordered takeout last night and the food was delicious. Very well prepared. The pickup was also very pleasant with warm and hospitable service. We wish this business success.

The Blizzards were great and we really enjoyed the nice restaurant with friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

    The last thing I want to do is jump to conclusions of racism but this seemed pretty blatant. I…read morenever jump to that conclusion lightly -- and honestly, I tried to talk myself out of what I was seeing in real time. But after replaying the situation, I couldn't unsee it. My date and I had an 8:00 PM Valentine's Day reservation and arrived on time. We checked in with the hostess and were told our table would be ready "in a moment," which was totally fine. We stood and waited patiently. Shortly after, a white couple walked in behind us and told the hostess they technically had an 8:15 PM reservation but were told to come at 8:00. They were seated immediately. We looked at each other but didn't say anything -- we figured maybe they had something ready and ours was being turned over. Then another white couple came in with an 8:00 PM reservation and was also seated right away. At this point, we were still standing there. No update. No explanation. No reassurance. All three parties were groups of two. There was no difference in party size, and we were on time for our reservation. Being skipped once might be a mistake. Being skipped twice, with no communication at all, felt intentional and uncomfortable. We were left standing there feeling confused and honestly unwelcome. If there was a legitimate reason for the delay, it was never communicated to us. No "your table is being cleared," no "we're just running behind," nothing. Just silence while other couples were seated in front of us. What was the difference between their table and ours that we were moved to the side to stand and wait? Everyone was a party of 2. We arrived on time and were the first ones in the door.. I truly didn't want to believe what this looked like, but it became impossible to ignore. We ended up leaving because the situation made us feel disrespected and unwanted as customers. Valentine's Day is obviously a busy night, but fairness and basic communication are non-negotiable. I would not recommend this place, and I especially would not recommend it to people of color based on how we were treated.
