The best 50s diner in downtown Fond du Lac is “The Diner”.

This place is all about the nostalgia of the great vintage diner. Food made fresh to order right in front of you. Servers writing down orders on tickets. Probably the only place still in town that you can run into a farmer, a priest and a couple of high school sweethearts sitting in a booth and watching the world pass by. Good food and good vibes.

I stopped here at 11:45 am on a Tuesday and the place was packed. I took the last open booth in the place. My server came right over and took my drink order. When she returned with my drink, I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger with fries.

Located downtown Fond du Lac next to Gold Smith. Love the old style cooking right in front of you.

Our server was friendly and polite but missed the mark on overall service. We had no silverware and 2 empty ketchup bottles. Had to ask repeatedly for coffee refills, new ketchup, extra sausage (amount initially brought was not as advertised on menu), and the check. The food was adequate, nothing special. The American fries were barely warm, and the toast also was cold. Once we finally got the check, we waited another 10 minutes before we finally had to track her down behind the counter to take our money. We try to patronize small town restaurants (as opposed to chains) when we travel and this place had great reviews. If in the area we may try again, but today we were not impressed.

A laid-back atmosphere and low murmur amongst patrons made for a chill environment! My wife and I stopped in for a late breakfast (10am CST), and the diner was fairly busy, however not overcrowded! The server (Brianna) was attentive to us prior to us ordering! She was great about making us aware of drink options (sounds silly, however some places do not!). Despite there being only 2 worker up front, the 2 of them handled the workload, rather impressively! Food was made and served nearly immediately! No keeping warm under a HUGE halogen light. Food was not overdone, which is NIIICE!! Plates and utensils were all clean! No stuck on food, etc… The bill came and was $10 less than I’d guessed (see photo of bill). My wife and I were both completely satisfied and our stomachs filled. We tried this on a whim… however, we will DEFINITELY patronize this establishment again. Unfortunately we were unable to meet the new owner, Sandy! Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to meet her on a future visit! There are definitely other factors which would have earned 4 stars (cleanliness, etc)

The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The breakfast was a great value! The service is wonderful and the new owner is doing a wonderful job with all the transitions and challenges there must be with running a restaurant/business in these times! Was very busy when I visited, I think because everyone knew where the good food was at!

This place is probably the best and oldest breakfast place in fondy. Sandy is awesome and the people work really hard here and make great food. Burrito was great.
