West Wind Diner

I stopped here for breakfast because it was close/off the freeway as the start of a weeks long road trip. The place looks like a Greek restaurant/truck stop in the middle of nothing really. The place was empty at 7:20 in the morning except two tables. My service had no issues because it was not packed on my visit. The decor is dated like an old Greek restaurant with some color on the walls and exposed brick. I didn't want a big breakfast because I was having lunch down the road so I ordered 2 eggs with sausage patties and sourdough toast. The eggs were perfect sunny side up. The sausage patties were on the dry side but flavorful and the sourdough was average but it made a nice toast sandwich.Overall it was an average breakfast because I just ordered the basics but it did the job to get me off to the start of my trip and exactly what I wanted.

My poppy (God rest his soul) took us to this restaurant back in the good ol' days. He recommended it highly, and so I had high expectations for the West Wind Diner.Boy, this place did not meet my expectations.I ordered a classic grilled cheese and it was like a brick on my plate (how do you mess up a grilled cheese?!). There were people at the bar staring at me like I had just killed their mother. The service was very slow, and the coffee was like mud. I left the West Wind Diner as fast as I could, and I still see it in my nightmares.

I was looking somewhere to park me semi truck for a a few minutes. Grateful that this diner had truck parking. Really wanted to go in and grab a bite of this American Pie;) but I was already stuffed.This place has plenty of truck parking if you need it before a delivery or pick up. There is a Chevron Gas station around the corner.

Nothing special. We had heard great things about this place and were disappointed. Food is the typical breakfast fare with nothing special and overpriced. It also had me running to the bathroom within 30 minutes of leaving. Service was good but that was the only redeeming quality.

This place is awful the food takes forever and it tastes really bad, Oh and don't get me started on the bathrooms. They NEVER wash them the floors were sticky dirty and the stall stank. This place doesn't get my respect

On our way home from Milwaukee to Quad Cities we were looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. We saw the sign on the highway and decided to take a chance and check it out. Glad we did. The parking lot had semi trucks and a few empty trailers parked but lots of cars and vans. The inside is adorable and clean. The staff is super friendly. The menu has typical breakfast fare but also fancy pancake toppings such as pecan, cranberry pecan, Oreo s'mores. They also serve lunch and dinner with a small Health and Fitness section. Definitely pleased we tried it out and highly recommend!

This place is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Definitely worth the drive. They make milkshakes the old fashion way that are delish. Had one of the best tasting, freshest salads. The French toast is made from homemade bread. Everything the 4 of us ordered was fresh and tastey. The place was clean and the service was excellent. Just can't beat it for the prices. Will definite be going there again soon.

Not your average diner. Food was very good and service was great! Menu include variety and imaginative dishes. We'll be back and will bring some friends!

My wife and I stopped here for lunch today. I'd been here once before with a buddy of mine and had wonderful service and great food. Today...not so much. We got there about 2PM and there were maybe two other tables in use. We sat down and waited a few minutes for the server to come by with menus. When he came back for our orders, I asked about the meatloaf special and it was as if I'd ruined his entire day by asking that question. He sighed and said it came with meatloaf and potatoes, along with soup. My wife ordered an omelet and I ordered the meatloaf. He brought out my soup, chicken and rice, a few minutes later. It was basically a bowl of rice with some broth mixed in, along with one bit of carrot and a single piece of chicken about the size of a nickel. It wasn't awful, but I've had better coming out of a can. I ate about half of it, then set it off to the side. That's where it stayed until we left the restaurant, as for some reason he never cleared it away.When the main course arrived, the meatloaf had obviously been sitting for a while as the gravy had started to get a "skin" on it in a few places. It was also rather crusty along one edge. It came with two golf ball size scoops of mashed potatoes that were warmish at best. My wife's food was also barely lukewarm. As he slid my wife's plate over to her from my side of the table, he mentioned that he'd forgotten her toast. I'm not sure what kind of toaster they have, but it took nearly 10 minutes for that to finally arrive. We'd been on the go all day and we were both starving at that point. Given how long it took just to get her toast, we figured we were better off just eating what was in front of us and getting out the door.He never once checked in with us to see how things were or if we needed anything else. He just came up to the table about 15 minutes later and put down the check and walked away. He was seemingly more concerned with sitting and playing on his phone. It certainly wasn't like they were too busy to attend to the few customers in the place.All in all, a pretty abysmal experience.

The food is awful, would rather not eat than come here again. At least I learned my lesson. You have been warned!
