  Large Menu reminds me of New York Diners.
  Decor is a little humourous with the chandeliers and booths, but why not.
  The staff last night was very friendly, returned often, and refilled drinks quickly.
  We ordered the fish fry and salad.  I don't have a real high expectation here, but it was good.  Gyros, salads, sandwiches.  I have been here for breakfast and is was  good and simple.  
  Our kids ordered hot chocolate and got a huge glass mug with good hot cocoa and lots of whipped cream.  Kids meals are perfect, with mini burgers and fries, kid size chicken alfredo and our daughter loves their chicken fingers.
  Overall, we'll go back for the service and variety of food.

  This is definitely a very odd restaurant with a huge menu.  The huge menu made me a little leery, but both our meals were good and the service was good.  We both got sandwiches, they both came with fries.  Simple stuff, but the fries were the best I have had.  And while I was thinking this, the person I was eating with said the same thing.  Our grasshopper for dessert was delicious as well.  We would go back here.

  Yeah.  Ginormous Menu.  Non-memorable food.
  
  I've been here a couple of times since moving to Mount Horeb.  I can't really even remember what I ordered the last time.  The decor is dated/weird, the service is OK, but the food quality needs to go up a bit.
  
  They are making some renovations, maybe changes to the menu will be on tap soon as well.

  The "Mexican Omelette" (sic) I had here was tasteless.  There's really no other word for it. The ingredients and texture gave the impression that everything they serve here is processed and reconstitued from frozen food.  Everything was lifeless and flavorless.

  Reviewing this for what it is, only, with no high expectations, I still can't bring myself to give it more stars.  Odd atmosphere, bad food, and for the love of god, do NOT use their bathroom!
  
  Our waitress was very nice.  My soda tasted very watered down.  They don't actually have Leinie's, although they have it on their menu.  The menu, like others have noted, is extensive.  This is never a good sign. How can a place offer that many options and do them well?  This is one of those places where your best bet is probably going to be the special--at least it will hopefully be somewhat fresh.
  
  Not taking my own advice, I ordered the Reuben.  I've had many different reubens at many different places--it's my standby.   Most are average to good, and I've been to a couple places where they are amazing.  Theirs was, in a word, bad.  Strange-tasting bread, very little (and questionable) sauerkraut, plastic-y and tasteless Swiss, nasty meat, and the most disgusting dressing I've ever had--watery and oddly sweet, tasting nothing like thousand island.  But the worst part may have been the bread, which tasted like it was smothered with rancid butter and toasted on a grill that has never been cleaned.  
  
  Okay, what about the rest of the food?  Canned, boxed, frozen, re-constituted are a few words that come to mind.  The most edible thing was the side salad, which was crisp with fresh vegetables--just skip the rancid croutons.
  
  So: Friendly and efficient staff; Memorably bad food.

  Very extensive menu. I can't even remember all the stuff that was on there, but we hit them at dinner time and that meant that we could order from any page on the menu, including breakfast. It took us a while to read it all and decide. I had a pizza burger, which was pretty good. We also got some slices of pie/cake for dessert, and they were delicious.

  while visiting family, stopped here for brunch. delicious food, quick service, unbeatable prices. i don't know if it was my 9 mile morning run or sleepless body, but this food sent me away replenished and wishing i could eat more! my family chose breakfast meals. biscuts n gravy, belgian blueberry waffles toppled with whip cream and one more biscuts gravy sausage and eggs dish. i opted for the gyros. i needed meat and going for steak would have been too much for me. we ate outside in the spacious patio area. th menu contained so many dishes, it was hard to choose. i'll have to go back for seconds.
