The Diner - Fond du Lac

If i could give it 0 stars i would, i didnt even eat more than a bite it

This is standard breakfast fare. A solid breakfast that won’t knock your socks off but will fill ya up. Had a two egg bacon, mushroom, and cheese omelette, that was okay. Wife had biscuits gravy, again just okay. Nothing was bad or wrong it was just okay.

Affordable food in an old school diner. It was built in the 1880s, and it houses lots of history throughout the restaurant

Decided to finally go and check the place out since the new owner took over connies. Brought back so many great memories of going there with my parents and even working for Connie and wally for a short time and wanted to see how things are going. I was surprised that it was pretty empty on a busy farmers market Saturday because I know it used to be packed from open til close, but happy to get a seat. Waitress was nice and very personable and welcomed me with a smile. I ordered 2 eggs medium eggs and bacon. It came out pretty swiftly and was ready to dig in. The eggs came out medium and got 3 pieces of bacon instead of 2! BUT all of it was super greasy and the bacon was limp and all fat. I ate the eggs and what I could salvage from the bacon that wasn't fat. (My stomach stomach acted up after I ate there and was the first and only thing I ate til my stomach settled...maybe it was the bacon and the excessive amount of grease that did me in) Then I noticed that there was a burger patty out on the counter when I got there and stayed out almost the whole time. It disappeared when a couple next to me ordered a burger, BUT HOPE the counter patty got tossed and a fresh one was used. The counter space was kinda cluttered (tickets being held down with what appears to be bolts? Just afraid one might fall in someones food) which I understand can happen when it's busy which has happened to me when I worked in food service, but if it's slow like the way it was there was plenty of time to clean things up. But understand it may not be on your mind at the moment. I did see a customer that I would talk to when I worked there and was nice to catch up with him and to see he's doing well... is it Connie's? No. Will it ever be Connie's? NEVER!! Should you try it? If you want go for it! This was just my experience, but I'm sure others had better ones

I just recommended this place to my best friend and her husband who are visiting the area. It's like going back in time. Great food, friendly people and of course beer. It's Wisconsin!
