The Idle Hour Or Two

It has that nice old charm place to eat.Friendly service & good eats.Accepts Cash only.

Went here for lunch takeout. My wife and I are both gluten free and they have delicious gf bread for both hot and cold sandwiches. We both got the rueben and it came with chips and grapes in a paper bag. We felt like mom had made us lunch. And it was fantastic. Some of the best gf bread ever, great proportions and wonderful prices. Delicious,! We were so happy will drive up from Milwaukee again sometime.

Great sandwiches! Had the Ruben and it was wonderful and my wife had the chicken salad. Wow they were both excellent! I would eat here again for sure...

My boyfriend and I were looking for a sandwich on a lazy West Bend Sunday afternoon. Sidenote: It is crazy how many WB eateries are completely closed on Sundays. We found Idle Hour on Yelp and decided to give it a try.We got there around 1:30 and the front dining room was empty, there was a baby shower happening in the back room. We were greeted and seated promptly. The decor is old-fashioned and cute, they were appropriately playing Christmas music in early December. For lunch I had a can of pop, a cup of the Noodle Strudel, and the grown-up grilled cheese. I liked the Noodle Strudel, for some reason the combination of pasta and corn really does it for me and sometimes you are just not in the mood for soup. The sandwich was okay, I liked the bread, but it was pretty basic. My boyfriend got the ham and cheese and it was exactly the same sandwich I had, with ham. I liked Idle Hour, as the name suggested, our meal was quaint and relaxing. Next time I'll get a different sandwich and maybe check out their selection of Wisconsin wine.

The Idle Hour is a cute coffee shop/cafe right in downtown West Bend. I love that they've kept all of the nice vintage parts of the space - beautiful woodwork, a vintage piano, nice light fixtures and big windows. The space is definitely inviting, with a few separate areas for interior seating & a beautiful patio space.I stopped for coffee with a coworker and they didn't mind at all that we hung out for a little while. (it is called the Idle Hour, after all) Though we didn't order lunch, the menu looked simple and tasty. You can get beer and wine too - I'd love to see them add some cheese plates or something because I think it would be a delightful place to sip some wine and nibble.It's a little old school though - service is definitely "casual" and they only take cash. That said, it's a quirky, cute place and I'd definitely stop back in.

Good sandwich spot. Cash only. Quick and reasonable with good quality simple food. Enjoy

Friendly staff, quaint interior, and pretty good food. We had the Grown-up Grilled Cheese, which was really delicious. I also ordered the Butternut Squash soup and that it okay.They had incredibly delicious-looking peanut butter cookies cooling on the counter. Even though they were calling our names loudly, they weren't available for the taking. :-( Just waiting for our bill while loading the photo and writing the review. So the service is a little slow, but manageable if you aren't in a hurry.

The best breakfast EVER! Stopped in following Farmer's Market for a bite to eat. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy and perfectly charming. The coffee was perfect. Love the cute cups! Ordered a Toad-in-the-hole and was not disappointed! It was delicious! Will definitely bring all my friends and family here! Keep up the great work!

This restaurant has CLOSED permanently! They had cheerful, accurate waitstaff, wonderful, tasty sandwiches, delicious home-made soups and incredibly loyal customers. (I was one of them). They offered specials that were truly "Special" as well as all the old favorites, like ham and cheese, BLTs, tuna salad, egg salad on various types of bread. The ambiance was wonderful as well!

I'm here visiting family and we decided toStop in after exploring the farmers market. The food was absolutely amazing!! An absolute must if you're in the area!
