★★★★★ 5.0 Miranda Huddleston · Nov 2025

First time visitor on a Sunday morning at 8:30am. Just a handful of other people in there eating. Friendly waitress told us to sit wherever we like. Picked a booth. Table had, jams & jellies, syrup, ketchup, half & half, salt & pepper, and sugar at the table. Waitress brought us ice water, silverware, napkins & menus. I ordered the 2x2x2, which was 2 eggs over medium cooked perfectly, thick sliced French toast that was eggy, fluffy and wonderful, 2 slices of bacon and 2 sausage links. Everything was was good. My husband had biscuits and gravy, he said that was just okay, he was hoping it was more like southern gravy, more sausage & flavor, like he grew up with in GA. No biggie. We will be back again and again, friendly people, great food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Peter Herman · Sep 2025

A Roadside diner that is “Americana, distilled”, filled with Locals and old couples chattering about the weather, sciatica, grandkids, while friendly servers/owner scurries about making sure cups are full and food is all good, all in a homey, clean establishment. My French onion soup was utterly delicious (pictured here with a couple bites missing already), the fries were fantastic, and the pastrami Reuben (the special on this day) was very good, although I do prefer when tougher meat cuts in Reuben sandwiches are diced up to prevent inadvertently pulling a “slab” of meat out with a bite. All in all, a great place to stop, eat, and reminisce.

Now this place is a true classic diner! Locals are aplenty, the staff are always taking care of patrons, the food is delicious, and the coffee never runs out. Fantastic diner!

There is a cozy little diner located on US-12 in Cambridge, WI. Although it may not look like much from the outside, the interior is quite welcoming. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! I had the Lake Ripley chicken sandwich, and I couldn't stop eating it—it was packed with flavor. My husband ordered the 2x2x2x2 for $10.99, which included 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon, AND 2 sausage links. It was a great deal! You can really tell that the locals frequent this place, as there was a steady stream of customers who all seemed to know each other by name. The waitress checked on us several times to ensure we were well taken care of. If you find yourself in the Cambridge/Lake Ripley area, be sure to stop by. You'll appreciate the warm welcome and fantastic diner options

Tammy is awesome. Ask about her dad-jokes - get the potatoes Tammy (off-menu item) ...Google potatoes Loraine. Will definitely go back.
