| - I was looking for early-morning diners that weren't IHOP/Perkins/Denny's, and I found this place tucked away. I came here for an early breakfast. The place was really clean and not packed (though it could be because I came too early), like a Holiday Inn dining room as decorated by a grandma.
I ordered a country-fried steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast, as well as a cup of coffee. I've ordered this meal at several similar diners, and in every respect this establishment does it better. The coffee is stronger and more flavorful, the steak fried better and more meaty-tasting, the scrambled eggs fluffier, the hash browns crispier, the toast more buttery. I would say that the only inconvenience is that it's away in Monona, far away from any center of commerce, which means that one has to go a ways out to take advantage of this place. But if I'm already awake with several hours before I have to start my day, I definitely will be coming here in the future to watch the sun rise over another good, hearty American breakfast.
