Willalby's Cafe

Love this little hole in the wall place. The Food is amazing and the wait staff is entertaining and friendly. If your ever on Willy St check it out, You won't be disappointed!

I'm a fan of this place! It's a good old fashioned breakfast spot, cash only, simple menu, great service, unlimited coffee refills. The decor feels like a homey diner, from the wooden booths to the countertop. The food was home cooked, classic, and delicious. I was very happy to have gotten a seat at around 9am on a Saturday. One time I tried to go around 11am and they had already sold out! So, plan accordingly and like I said, bring cash as they have an ATM in the back, but don't make any exceptions. Cash is king here. Happy eating!

Super chill, super welcoming. Just a short walk for me currently and always meet people from the neighborhood. Nothing better than getting a cup of coffee and an egg sandwich early in the morning at Willaby's.

No nonsense greasy spoon serving up solid breakfast fare. What I love is that it doesn't try to be anything that it's not-a throwback diner with reasonable prices. The waitstaff is quick to refill your coffee cup. Open early for those early risers. Pro-tip: Don't check out the basement where the bathrooms are located.

A very tiny spot where every single seat was taken when I went in on a Friday around noon. Simple menu with cheap offerings. I got a banana waffle and we got hash browns to share. Waffle itself was kinda meh to me but great potatoes! All the savory options people were getting around me looked delicious so regretted not getting one of those. The salty melty butter was a yummy contrasting addition to the waffle but my friends who got french toast mentioned it was almost too salty. Great quick service!

If you're looking for a tasty meal at a very reasonable cost, look no further! We were able to be seated immediately at 930 on a Saturday but by the time we left, most tables were filled up. The service was routine and gave us coffee and water refills continuously, which was awesome. The place itself has some age but it has a very old school diner vibe, which we really appreciated. The omelette I got was absolutely loaded with veggies and the hash browns and butter toast were nice and crispy. Great experience overall, highly recommended!

Somewhat hidden jem for breakfast off campus. Classic dinner. Not a lot of seating so get there early! Staff is always so kind and friendly.

One of my favorite breakfast restaurants in Madison. I think it's very underrated! Huge portions for such an affordable price. I always get one of their pancakes and I've never been disappointed. My favorite is getting it with banana and walnuts. I love their vegan/vegetarian options as well. My whole family loves this cozy spot on the east side. The place is small, so you may have a wait on the weekends.

Wish I could say I had a great experience but I didn't! I came to Wisconsin to visit a family member and we decided on Willably's because we liked their menu options. Our food was good but our server wasn't the best. When our food was brought out I noticed my sandwich was missing the egg ( I ordered an egg, cheese and bacon sandwich; as it's listed on their menu). I did not think it was that big of a deal, I just wanted my egg... I politely waited for our server to come back and immediately our server was rude and defensive about how I only ordered a bacon and cheese sandwich..... As I didn't want to argue over an egg, I let our server know our conversation was pointless and ate my bacon and cheese sandwich. In the end the server tried to make up for their rudeness by eventually offering to remake it. I declined as I believed it could have been suggested in our initial interaction. Good thing the server let me know they took the egg price off my sandwich ( as I questioned why it would've been there in the first place if I only ordered "a bacon and cheese sandwich"). When we paid I will not lie, we did not leave her the best tip. She followed us out and yelled at us to never return.... Good thing I wasn't going to!

This is a great breakfast spot in Madison, with friendly service and very good food. The old diner feel adds a lot, as well. A western omelette was served hot and stuffed with a great, thick peppers, onions and ham dice with melted cheese throughout. The hash browns are a nice accompaniment rather than the more prevalent home fries. My hot beverage was refilled without waiting. The food did take some time to be served but a quality breakfast like that is worth the wait.
