From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Breakfast

    A retro diner on Atwood Avenue that Madison Magazine's breakfast guide lists among the fourteen rooms it sends readers to, and one of the few on the list where a vegan can order most of the menu. Booths, a counter, and a jukebox aesthetic that has not been updated because it does not need to be. Order the blue plate breakfast, and go early on a weekend because the guide warns the wait is real.

    Picks from Wisconsin State Journal and Madison Magazine

  • Vegan

    A retro Atwood diner whose vegetarian and vegan menu runs alongside the classic plates, taking silver in the 2025 readers' poll for vegetarian and vegan focused cooking. It is an omnivore diner with a genuinely deep plant based section rather than a dedicated vegan restaurant.
