★★★★★ 5.0 Alesha Imhoff · Feb 2026

Stopped for breakfast, the staff is just wonderful here. The food is a great value as well as yummy! They have an incredible variety truly a great place to visit any time of day!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Judy · Feb 2022

One of our favorite places. Great meals and specials everyday. The staff are very nice. They are short staffed right now (6/22) but your patience will be rewarded. Fantastic Friday FishFry! Under new management, so expect to see some changes. July 2022 New owner. Lots of changes. Especially the Friday fish fry. It seems that better fish is served and the price has gone up by $2.00 (for the 3 piece fish plate.) Still tastes pretty good. I heard that a new menu is coming so I would expect price increases on most everything. 08/2022 - New menu, short and to the point. The quality of the food used has gone up, which is real nice, makes everything taste that much better. Well worth the price increases. 11/22 Remodeling scheduled for Dec. 2022 New flooring & new booths, installation of a bar. Al

This place has changed so much in the last 5 years. Its been completely remodeled and has an awsome atmosphere. As for the food its always been very good. I enjoy the plate size pancake and sausage patties. Its the best and biggest pancake i ever had. It will knock your socks off its so big lol. Ill post a picture. The place has everything from beer to fresh scooped icecream. New gas pumps make fueling up a sinch! And the customer service is like no other place. They make u feel welcome and they show there appreciation for your buisness. So if your out that way and need to fill up the gas tank and your belly at the same time stop at BP Wayside in Manchester Wisconsin today!!!😊

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sandi Landowski · May 2023

I don't normally leave these types of reviews, but I was disappointed with our meals. The apps were fine, and you got a lot for $7 each (onion rings and sweet corn cakes). I got the 2 piece white meat boasted chicken, which was fine. However, the mashed potatoes were pasty, and the roll was not very fresh. The lasagna special was not good because there was literally no sauce on it or in it! The breadstick was dry and came with no marinara. The salad was basic fixings for a taco (lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese). Fried chicken sandwich came with nothing on it (no lettuce, tomato) The waitress was very nice, but we just weren't impressed with the food.
