Visited on a Sunday for lunch. Place was practically empty. Restaurant could use updating and renovating. Most orders were take out. Staff friendly but not attentive even though it was not busy. Everyday food. Nothing fancy. My mini-Tacos were not what I expected for "Tacos." Salty with the tortilla hard and chewy. No complaints from the other menu items ordered. Satisfied my family's hunger from walking around Lake Geneva.

Not a bad experience, just not very impressed. The food was standard diner food but we didn't really love it. Service was a little slow. We know it was busy, but it was just a lack luster experience. For all the cute shops and other breakfast options on the downtown strip, it's not really worth it. Especially for the price. The biggest selling point is the hours! Breakfast/lunch/dinner any time.

Not a fancy looking spot but the food was good and the prices was cheap. I've been to lake Geneva a couple of times but never been here. We both had the pancake combo for breakfast which was really good. I wish i could remember our waitress name which was very attentive and nice. If you're in the area a definite breakfast must!

My husband and I tried this restaurant because we had been to most breakfast places in Lake Geneva already. Do not let the outside deceive you! We were seated immediately and had the most pleasant younger waiter (I assume a child of the owners) who checked on us quite often. Good was served quickly and was delicious, while being offered at a great price. Would definitely head out there for breakfast again!

We like old-school family restaurants, and their menu looked good, so we decided to give them a try for lunch on a weekday during the off-season (April, before the crowds descend upon Lake Geneva). They initially wanted to seat us in the center, but we preferred a booth along the wall and the girl seating us said that was fine. But she never bothered to bring us menus or silverware, so we ended up grabbing those from one of the center tables that already had them. Three of us ordered the Chicago-style hot dogs, and one got a cheeseburger and upgraded to sweet potato fries (a hefty $2.95 upcharge). When they brought the food out, two orders were wrong with one person getting fries when they ordered coleslaw, and the person that upgraded to sweet potato fries received regular fries. We told the server and she brought coleslaw and had that person keep the fries, but then took the plate with the burger & regular fries. After a couple minutes the owner brought the plate with the burger & regular fries back, apologized, and said it would just be a few minutes for the sweet potato fries. My only other complaint is that for the Chicago hotdogs the buns and all the toppings, including the tomatoes, were very cold, so the hotdog wasn't nice & hot, but just lukewarm when we got it, and was cold halfway through eating it.

This place has a great local flavor (pun intended) with an amazing vintage vibe. From the inviting old fashioned storefront sign to the great diner interior, this is a no frills restaurant from a different era when the focus was on good service and good food. We had the cheese curd appetizer which was served with a marinara and wasn't too much and super fresh. We both had burgers (bacon cheese and a patty melt) with perfectly fried French fries. You can tell the grill is perfectly seasoned because the burgers were exactly what you expect from a place like this: flavorful, simple, just greasy enough but not sloppy. We visit Lake Geneva from Chicago often and will absolutely add this to our dining rotation. You should, too.

Cute family restaurant but BEWARE when we received the bill, the waitress already included her tip& didn't say a word. only said something when she saw us adding up our bill. for country fried steak , coffee w flavored creamer , a bfast sandwich came to 37.70 if she didn't say anything, would have gotten tipped 2x. seemed shady to add a tip on there before we ever got our bill.

A basic no frills family run breakfast/lunch spot in Downtown Lake Geneva. It's an older establishment for sure, almost feels like you're stepping back to a simpler time. Food was fantastic, that griddle is slinging out great eggs, hash, French toast, all of your standards. And that breakfast sausage is the best I've had. Service can be a little iffy depending on if you get an adult or one of the kids. Most recently, our request for orange juice went unfulfilled, but I'll gladly overlook that to support a mom & pop establishment.

This is my second time here and in between were about 10 years. When I first came to Lake Geneva I tried it and it looked pretty filthy back then. Everything looked old and washed out and you couldn't tell if the tables or chairs and booths were really clean so I decided not to review it since I'd only been there once.Today is my second time and it looks like a newer coat of paint and the vinyl on the booths were not cracked or old looking. It was rather busy for a Monday morning and all the other places too so we were hungry and sat down. Iced tea is fresh-brewed. Service was quick and I had the Olympic breakfast which had everything I liked. Two pancakes, 2 eggs, choice of meat and potatoes. So glad they have hash browns because Egg Harbor and the other Simple breakfast place too have country style or cubed potatoes which I truly hate. At least here you get your choice of what kind you want. I'm more willing to come back now!

This restaurant overcharges (based on their website menu and prices). When this was addressed with them, they stated they have not updated the website. This was somehow our problem. The food was poor. The hot dog was cold, the coleslaw was inedible. When we called to inquire about the bill, the woman said she would hang up on us and she did. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.
