Norske Nook Restaurant & Bakery

PIE!PIE!PIES! Classic Midwest pies that only your grandma can make! You have to get the raisin rum meringue, heaven on earth taste! Location was easy to find, lots of Norse breakfast and old world favorite! Don't miss this if you're in Madison or on your way to the Dells!

This review is cowritten with my 10 year old son John who is as much a foodie as his dad. Norse Nook in Deforest Wisconsin was a little hard to find. we noticed the pie awards right away. Because of a staffing shortage we had to wait about 10 minutes. The hot chocolate is creamy and sweet. The pie of the month is rhubarb crunch so we started with that. The crunch is sweet (a little too sugary for my preference-John disagrees). He calls it a party in your mouth. John ordered the corned beef breakfast wrap and I went with the potato pancakes. John's wrap reminded us of crepes stuffed with. Or beef, eggs and topped with hollandaise sauce. Meaty, creamy. The description on the menu doesn't come out the way you expect it comes out better. I wish the potato pancakes were crispier and the Sodexo brand apple sauce was a disappointment. The rhubarb sauce leftover from the pie was a good substitute. Service was great, Cassandra was super attentive and always ready with the hottest tastiest drip coffee around. There's a cozy feel to the place and the pie alone is worth the trip.

We dined at Norske Nook Restaurant on a Friday morning and had a wonderful time! When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't super busy, there were only four other tables occupied by fellow diners. We were seated and served coffee immediately by the friendly staff. We placed our orders after a bit, and the plates got delivered very fast! The French toast special was good, but the morning sampler stole the show! The bacon and eggs were perfect, the breakfast potatoes were FANTASTIC, and the buttered toast with fruit jam was delicious. This is the perfect breakfast stop! I can't wait to try the Norwegian breakfast specialties the next time I visit.

Meh at best. McDonald's had more flavor. Service, and breakfast failed to live up to the nice facility and atmosphere. We unsuccessfully had tried to come here for months, but were blocked by limited hours of operation. I was looking forward to it. Great parking, Seated quickly, water provided and orders taken quickly... from that point forward we were underwhelmed or disappointed. If you like sweets your impression may be different, and the pies looks wonderful.Breakfast was "meh" at best, coffee was often empty and even asking for more water did not yield a refill. I struggled with the stars. Everything else was great.

Very limited hours. Most places serving breakfast they "warm up" your coffee endlessly. On our first visit it was like pulling teeth to get my coffee refilled. I blame this on the shortage of competent staff everywhere.The food was hit and miss. Of our table of six four were very pleased and two not so much. Not in a hurry to return.

I was heading to the Madison airport and decided to make a detour for lunch. Madison downtown area is a pain for parking, so I decided to go with DeForest. Norske Nook had a large parking, and the ambiance of a nice diner. Spacious, and well lit. The service was excellent, and the food was not the healthiest, but quite tasty. I was initially going for one of the Lesfe wraps, but was swayed by the day's special of the bread bowl. It seemed perfect for the cold, snowy day. I'll come back a different day for one of the wraps.

They were closed when I was there Monday and Tuesday I love these restaurants they are reasonably priced and great Norwegian food the best restaurant in Wisconsin wish they had some in Illinois

Stopped in for a cup of coffe and slice of pie. I was not disappointed!! Service was good. Our waiter was very kind and gracious. We had cherry pie à la mode and sour cream lingonberry. Both were delish.

If you want to be robbed, come here.Pros-Nice place, friendly staff, clean restaurant. Cons-cost an arm and a leg and the food is low quality.We won't be back. YIkes.

Both our meals were absolutely terrible. I had a half order of meat balls and mash potatoes and gravy and they literally brought me out a huge platter with 1 1/2 meatballs that were about 3/4 of an inch big. With approximately two heaping tablespoons of instant potatoes and covered the whole plate with gravy it was disgusting.
