Joey's Diner

A Waukesha gem in downtown. I'd been trying to get there for a few weeks and every time I'd come by the place was packed. So, I put it off for the right moment and let me tell you that it was well worth the wait. It's a small diner with only a handful of tables and a small bar to sit at. The staff was very polite, and I can only assume the gentleman that greeted us was Joey. We were seated immediately and our order taken as soon as we were ready. Burgers are their specialty, so I went with the Joey Burger. At Joey's Diner, the Joey Burger has got to be good, right?! For an extra couple dollars, I added fries. We waited no longer than 5 minutes and our burgers were already being delivered to our table. My food was great! Sesame seed bun, perfectly toasted. Excellent burger, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The special sauce was a perfect compliment. Golden fried fast food fries, cooked perfectly. The other folks with me each got bacon cheeseburgers and loved theirs, also! We all shared an order of onion rings which were very good. On the way out, we had another wholesome exchange with the man I think is Joey, and off we went! This place has a cool vibe, it's clean, the staff were very polite and welcoming, the service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the food quality was excellent. Can't beat that!! This may be my new downtown Waukesha go-to!!

I was excited to try Joey's Diner since I heard people raving about it. The decorations at the diner were great! The decor ties the diner theme together, with vintage signs, posters, etc. There's even a dinosaur and Betty Boop statue! I thought the phone stands on all of the tables were a nice touch, the party next to us was enjoying their meal while watching a game together. The diner was very clean including the bathrooms. The service was great. Every staff member we interacted with was welcoming and kind. They were also very tentative and were there if we wanted help with our order! The food was great. I got the BLT with fries. The service was fast, we ordered and received our meals promptly! I can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu! It's the perfect place to grab a bite with your family or friends!

Seriously one of the most fun local places to go! The food is amazing, the service is even better and it's kid/family friendly! The decorations are on point and the music fits the ambiance perfectly. Don't forget to order ranch! It was the best I have ever had!!! Can't wait to come back!

My husband and I stopped by to get a burger for each of us. It was 9pm and they already closed but we didn't know. They said the grill was closed but turned it back on to cook us burger. They gave us more than what we ordered. They made us feel very welcome. Had us sit down to eat and enjoy your meal. Had a good conversation with Joey. He is such a down to earth person and just really enjoy making people happy. Later, a customer came in to carry out food. They turned their grill back on again for him. It's 1.5 hours after closing. They didn't turn away hungry people. They're so sweet I tipped the cook for cooking us more good than we ordered. The food tasted so homey like a good old fashion meal. I love old diners with old musics which feel like you're in a different time. Atmosphere is cozy and lively. We like to see this place grow successful and bigger. They have the best customer service we ever experienced. Great job! And thank you!!!!

Very kind and attentive staff. Food and atmosphere is classic diner. Kind of wish they had booths rather than tables, but it's not very big place and that wouldn't be practical. Need more dessert options, only 2 on the menu and they no longer carried the cheesecake. A+ for service.

The food was Good and the servers were very nice and attentive. The restaurant was clean and well kept.

This diner is a 1950s themed burger joint. What sets this place apart is the incredibly friendly service, a variety of a ton of different types of burgers including even plant based burgers and gluten free buns if you want that. Location is easy to find with ample on street parking. Highly recommend!

Great food, atmosphere and service! Owner made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Loved the music, "Leave it to Beaver" on the tv and diner decor! Will definitely be back and recommend!

The bacon cheeseburger is the best, absolutely delicious! I highly recommend to any and all to check out Joey's. The service is spectacular very friendly and Joey is so attentive. If you haven't been to this gem please go!! March they will be adding a Ruben sandwich and I'm there! I also will be checking out their breakfast options

Just ordered takeout. Nicest service ever. California burger with cheese and onion rings. Really good. I'll go back. Nice crowd. The gentleman behind the counter (maybe the owner?), was very friendly and grateful. Cool place.
