Solid breakfast joint. Very tight quarters but it added to the Sunday AM experience, as it still has the classic quick serve breakfast joint feel. Kitchen is right behind the counter to watch all the magic. I appreciated the large creamer cup to pour from. I got the Homemade Corned Beef Hash. Flavor was outstanding. Surprised to see what I believe was deli sliced corned beef chopped up (the word homemade made me think they cooked a brisket in-house). The corned beef was still delicious and didnt have any odd coloring (i.e. pearlyness) that can sometimes be found on deli cuts. The onion & green peppers were delicious additions. Had I noticed cheese was also added I would have left it off, as I’m a bit of a purist with my CBH. Scrambled eggs were a bit overcooked for my preference and I asked for american fries but got hashbrowns. Husband ordered over hard eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns & french toast. Overall he liked it, but mentioned the french toast had a slightly odd taste. We did take home all the leftovers (half of the CBH and 1 piece of french toast) that we ate later. The service was outstanding for a busy establishment. Our food came quick and beverage refills were rapid. Everyone employed there was working hard and seemed happy to do so. Overall a satisfying experience.

Five stars for this restaurant!! The food is amazing! I had the corned beef hash, the kids had the 5×2 and my partner had the Mexican omelet. Hands down the best mimosa I have ever had. Sherry our server was very friendly and quick with her service. Would come here again and again. Highly recommend!!

Was out with coworkers and decided to go here today. Food and service was good. I had the turkey dinner and would go again if I am in the area.

My father and I came for a nice Labor Day breakfast. I’ve never been to this specific restaurant, and my first experience here was sadly not good. The last table that was available was still dirty from the previous people sitting there. The waitress took forever to take our order. She then gave us someone else’s order. My French Toast did not taste very good. I will cut them some slack, since it was only one waitress. But this was my first impression.

My family and I had a great experience at Dave’s. We actually ended up going back a second time because it was so good. I enjoyed the traditional diner atmosphere and the food was so delicious! Sherry and Bob were helpful and courteous to all of us. Would highly recommend stopping in if you’re looking for some good eats in Waukesha!

Nice little dinner in the center of town. Service was very friendly and fast. A reasonable selection on the menu that wasn’t too large so you can tell they know what they are doing.

I went here for lunch today and they allowed my pup inside (it was slow). Both the owner and staff were so gracious and the food is very good. Place is an old diner right downtown. I ordered the hot dog with fries. The hot dog was split in half and grilled to perfection. It was served with relish, pickles, and onion. Ketchup and mustard upon request. The fries were crispy and excellent. Bright, cheerful place. I plan to go back very soon!

Our breakfast was tasty. Our server was great and kept our coffee and water’s full. The place would’ve been more crowded if the street wasn’t closed due to construction. I recommend Dave’s!

The Joe’s breakfast sandwich (egg bacon and cheese) was very satisfying. The double bacon cheeseburger really hit the spot. Hidden gem here. Good coffee and homemade soup. Watch the chef cook your food, fun to watch- great to eat!
