Joni's Diner

I spent two nights in Lake Geneva for a weekend wedding and visited Joni's for breakfast on Saturday morning. I had such a delightful experience that I returned for breakfast on Sunday. Joni's is a chrome shop, a diner from days gone by, and it took me back 50 years to the diners of my childhood. Service was efficient and friendly. Coffee was on the table within 3 minutes for both of my visits. Give me coffee on a weekend morning and the rest can take its time. Joni's prepares its breakfasts the way they should be prepared -- Nothing overly complex, but everything properly cooked. Thoroughly enjoyed my omelettes and home fries both days, and my son enjoyed his pancakes. That's what I look for -- how happy am I when I walk out of the restaurant. Joni's made me very happy!

Retro dinner with flavor. Breakfast was amazing. Traditional Benedict is simple but there do their holandaise sause right. Nice and buttery. Prefer a less dense English muffin but with extra sauce it didn't stop me. The Banana Bread French toast is a must! Enough said. Stuffed French toast was delicious, inside tasted like a cinnamon roll but not overly sweet. B&G has that hint of thyme, so if you like that....then you will love it. If you don't, you don't, it's a choice.

Cute traditional diner. Our server was busy, but she checked back on us regularly. We both decided to get a combo plate. My biscuits and gravy were delicious. I wouldn't really call it a biscuit. It was definitely soft and pillowy, but not crumbly like a buttermilk or baking powder biscuit next time I'm in Lake Geneva I would definitely eat here again

The Belgium waffles was more delicious then Dennys. The server was kind and waited for me to decide what to get. The ambiance is amazing because they songs of the 60s and 50s and Joni's is in a rail car

We found the cutest diner in Lake Geneva for breakfast, a throwback to the 1950's. Built, in 1954, the structure made its way from Connecticut to Illinois where it became Joni's Diner. The old time atmosphere is charming. You won't find cappuccinos, but you will find good American food. This diner is busy popular so we grabbed a seat at the counter to get in. Our server was nice, although she didn't introduce herself and I had to ask for a glass of water.I had the Green Machine omelet with spinach, green onions, mushrooms and swiss cheese. My husband had the Big E, with everything - onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, sausage, ham, potatoes, cheddar & sour cream. Whew!I heard from a customer next to me that musts are the banana bread (get it toasted) and the pies. Maybe next time!

I heard Joni's is a must for breakfast in Lake Geneva and you know what? The rumors are true - it's sooo great!! While cozy and sometimes a wait, the retro vibe is so fun. The service was wonderful - quick, responsive, kind and friendly. I think alot of the staff were family - they had a great synergy going. The food was delicious and came out so quick! Can't wait to go back!!

Frequently come here eveeytime my family comes to visit my sister and aunt. We love coming here Food is delicious and a good portion size. We always have left overs. They have tons to choose from on their menus. They will never disappoint.

Cute, quaint, traditional diner. Service was great and food came out super fast! Would do it again when vacationing!

I would give Joni's 10 stars if a I could. First, it is a historical New Jersey style diner, that must be seen. At one time this style of diner was all NJ Joni moved it here! Secondly the food and service were excellent. We had the burger, meatloaf and chicken soup all home made. All delicious!

Four words...Banana Bread French Toast!! I thought I had eaten the best French toast in my life before, but I was wrong once I tried theirs. Well my wife got it, I tried a bite and was blown away by it. Everything about the place was outstanding and we cannot wait to stop again the next time we're in LG.
