| - This place is one of my favorites in Middleton. The food is consistently very good. Not spectacular, but very good. The burgers are delicious but nothing out of the ordinary. There are some other good meat dishes as well; the fried chicken is good and the meatloaf is supposedly excellent (I've personally never tried it).
There are also some good pasta dishes, which you wouldn't expect from a diner. The parmesan penne is always a favorite, and the double-deluxe mac & cheese is 100% Wisconsin goodness.
There are also many sandwiches and salads, ensuring that there's something for everybody. The servings are large but not humongous. Good thing, because you definitely want to save room for the pie. I haven't explored the pie selection in depth, but there are numerous different flavors available every day and many seasonal flavors as well. I usually stick with the Key Lime pie, which is probably the best I've had in Wisconsin. The apple is also delicious.
The service has always been friendly and attentive, but it takes a while to get your food. It's easy to see why; Hubbard Avenue Diner is constantly busy. Waits for seating are common on Fridays and Saturdays, although Sunday evenings are quieter. Good as this place is, I don't think it's quite worth a fifteen-thirty minute wait. There are many other great restaurants in the area that could seat you right away.
All in all, a very positive dining experience. I've been there often and never left disappointed. Reasonable prices and good food, with excellent pies. Recommended if you are in the area or are generally a fan of other Food Fight Inc. restaurants.
