Definitely glad we saw this restaurant on Google maps when we were trying to find somewhere to eat while passing through the area. Their menu has a little bit of something for everyone. We had 9 people including kids and no one had complaints. Our waitress was leaving just before we were ready to leave. She came to let us know she was leaving but there was no rush. She even brought her mom over to introduce her as our next server. Everyone was so sweet. The food was delicious. Will definitely return if in the area and will recommend to our Madison friends.

Ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast, had some weird meat chunks in the gravy, couldn't identify what it was and it was chewy and hard to process. Initially thought it was sausage in traditional sausage gravy, but it was not. The chicken fried steak was what seemed to be a pre breaded food service type of steak, not impressed, eggs and hash browns were ok, service was decent but on the slower side. With the options available around Madison I'd probably not opt to drive back out there, but if I were local id probably try to find something they are more specialized in when going back. At best it was mid to lower level cafe food, I picked the weird meat chunks out and ate the main entree and didn't leave hungry. The should probably fly up some southern gal to teach them how to make a proper sausage gravy though. One to ten scale I would give it a 5. For $20 bucks I expect a hand breaded steak not food service pre breaded.

I absolutely love Deforest family restaurant, it sits just a few minutes out side of the hustle and bustle of Madison, but close enough that it's no issue choosing to go here over some of the great restaurants in Madison. They have a great breakfast menu (you have to try the biscuits and gravy *chefs kiss*) and their dinner menu is good as well. Their burgers are big, and have great flavor. They have really fried good cheese curds and their chicken and dumpling soup is easily a 10/10. This is one of my "go-to's" when I have out of town visitors.

Something is up with my blood pressure and I passed out at the table. I'm fine, need to tweak my meds. The owner was immediately on the phone, getting me help and wanted to know if I was ok. Good food and a community that cares, that's the DeForest Family Restaurant.

Our server was nice, that was the only plus to the whole experience, the fried pickles were cold and chewy, it took us over an hour from being sat to receive our food and around 20 min before we even got to order, this place used to be my go to spot on Sundays for breakfast not anymore.

We stopped here on our way back home from camping on a whim and it was a lovely place to eat breakfast. The food was excellent and the staff was so friendly and welcoming, I felt as if I were a regular at the place. Even the coffee was better than your average diner brew. I will make a point of returning when we drive this way in the future, which is an unusual thing to say about a random diner on a road trip - that's how much I feel like they deserve a five star review.

We had explicitly requested that our takeout order be packaged with the toast separate due to a severe gluten allergy. Unfortunately, the toast was placed directly on top of the food, resulting in cross-contamination that rendered our meal inedible. The restaurant offered to remake a single portion of the order, which would have required a return trip, or to process a refund in person rather than over the phone. We are quite disappointed by the apparent lack of consideration for customers with allergies and the inconvenience of the refund process.

Food was good. Waitress was very good and more than nice! The thing WE COULD NOT BELIEVE was I asked for a side of salsa. They charged us $4 for a side of salsa! I understand the price of food has gone up, but come on! That was a little ridiculous! You can buy 2 jars of salsa for $4, and it was just a couple of tablespoons worth. Other than that, cute place.

We had the open face sandwiches one was beef. One was meatloaf. It was the worst meal I've ever had in my life. It was instant everything the potatoes you could drink through a straw, the chicken and dumpling soup definitely had something wrong with it and it was watered down as well. The dinner was over priced at $40 for two people with soft drinks. We definitely will not be back. Maybe the owner and the so-called chef should go to The Log Cabin Restaurant in Baraboo Wisconsin and check out their open face hot sandwiches because that’s how you get it done

Father's day, that being said. Very busy. My omelet and hash browns were cold my son's eggs Benedict was cold with hard poached eggs on top and the wrong plate was brought out for my father, so he had to wait another 10 minutes for his food. The only two things truly good. The wait staff and the coffee.

Food was very high priced....$4.00 per egg, $4.00 for a soda, $3.00 for coffee, etc. I had the small sirloin with rice pilaf, veggies and hamburger macaroni soup. The soup was very, very good, but they forgot the hamburger. The steak was mediocre, at best. The rice pilaf was old and had soured, and the veggies tasted as if they had been kept overnight in the cooler with no cover on them.
The wait staff are phenomenal.

Ordered the ribeye steak and egg breakfast. Medium with medium eggs and extra crispy hashbrowns. Received a cold ribeye that was well done on one side and rare on the other with over easy eggs and soggy hash browns. Mentioned it to the nice waitress Marla right away. The owner came over shortly after ANGRY AT ME berating me. He said if I just wanted a free meal then I shouldn't have ordered. I DIDNT EAT THE MEAL! I was waiting for the waitress to come back so I could tip her and he came over and yelled at me and told me to leave and that he "didnt need any more of my drama". I was nothing but polite and nice about receiving an absolutely horrible meal. I will never return and I dont think you should give someone like that your hard earned money. Absolutely disrespectful and inappropriate.

Once a really great restaurant, they have gone downhill drastically. Breakfast may be good but skip lunch or dinner. Their once delicious dumpling soup was now inedible. The broadted chicken half was a joke. The leg and thigh had very little meat, the tiny leg discusting. The tiny white meat was tough and dry. The hot beef sandwich was bad processed deli meat. Saw another guest leave his mostly uneaten as well. Mashed potatoes were ok. We stopped at Kwik Trip to get edible food. So very disappointed we can no longer support what used to be a great place.

Food was ok. 3/5. Most cooked well. Basic. Cheap prices. Good options. Steak ordered was full of gristle. Wasted 1/4 steak. Asked for medium, got well done. Soup dumplings was amazing. Table was sticky. Chair eas sticky. Our waitress was rude. Rushed us to order. No problem. Didn't get my lemon for drink, she brought it out with her bare hands after cleaning someone's table. Placed the lemon on my beverage herself with bare hands. Ick. She tossed the bill on the table almost hitting my dad in the face. She had attitude. May be back to try the pies. Looks good and I always want to support local buisnesses. But will respectfully request a different section where she is not our server.

Decent location, needs some upgrades. More importantly the food wasn’t good at all. Service was practically none existent. We went for dinner and I had an omelette for dinner and had to pay extra for cheese on a omelette. What kind of omelette doesn’t have cheese included? Side pancake was flat and couldn’t cut through it like it was from McDonalds. I Spent $40 on two people after tip and was worse quality than fast food. Should have went to Culver’s down the road.

The coffee was delicious and my cup was never empty. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Crab Cakes, a bit of a different breakfast for me. It was perfect. The crab cakes were the perfect size to enhance the flavor and no overcome the dish. I would have this again EASILY! Great food! Great Service! GREAT PLACE!

Special was listed as turkey or pork meal with senior special of $12. When we got the bill, we had been charged $13.52 each. We pointed this out to the waitress who then looked at the sign. All she said was " that is wrong" and refused to correct the price. The old Bait and Switch tactics.

The food is average. The service from the staff is great. The prices are out of control. The owner is whats called, an inflation bully. He takes advantage of the economy to raise prices beyond normal. Additionally, they just remodeled inside the restaurant and guess what? The cost is being also reflected on the menu prices. I know lots of locals moving to other restaurants.

We stopped here for lunch, knowing that the best meals are from family owned restaurants. This was no exception. The facility was very clean. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food arrived exactly as ordered. The flavor of their hamburgers is awesome as they grind their own burger. We got to meet the owner and complimented him on his food and wait staff. I would definitely stop here again. Oh yes, and he gave me tips on how to make such great burgers at home!

I ordered a gyro to go to eat when I got home, and when I opened the to go container I realized the gyro had no pita bread, but a regular tortilla. The majority of the filling was shredded lettuce and the gyro meat was small, over cooked and barely there. The sauce was good but that was the redeeming factor of this gyro.

NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN.
After reading the menu, I order and they are out of the one thing I want which is my biggest pet peeve at any restaurant. They don’t tell me they are out of it until they drop off my salad which comes with my meal and I start eating it.
I guessed they would be stupid enough to try and charge me for my salad so I stopped eating it and sent it back. Sure enough, they charged me for my salad. They also over charged me $3 for my son’s meal. On top of that, they think I should pay them to use my credit card. NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN.

Posting a review because our breakfast was exceptional. The breakfast sausage is tender and flavorful. The biscuits are fresh and soft, with a surprisingly balanced gravy.

I have been here quite a few times and they still don't know what a basted egg is. Every time I order them, I get yolks that are totally solid. I love to dunk my toast in the yolks. Not going to happen. Please learn how to make these eggs. I am not a complainer so I either eat them or just eat the whites. Very disappointing.

i quit going there after the owner Jack Amiti fired Angie.she was a fabulous server and also a friend. many of her customers were her friends. five stars for service was for Angie. the five stars for atmosphere was because of Angie. the three stars were for the french fries. i came in 5 days a week and had coffee and read the paper. i might order fries to share with Angie that's about it. i would rather eat some where else. just because of things that i was aware of and pricing. my thought is i don't mind helping put clothes on your kids but i am not making your mortgage payment. examples, $5.79 for one pancake. if you want chocolate chips add $3.30. $4.25 at the Hwy Cafe and no charge for chocolate chips. sliced prime rib sandwich$14.99 and i was informed this only has two ounces of meat on it. $14.99 with no side.if you want one pay another dollar. $18.99 for 12 tiny wings. $11.99 for deep fried mushrooms,i get them at the Hwy Cafe. $6.49 and and you get more. i've found that you have to make sure that you check prices on everything every were. even for a piece of pie. also i'm not promoting the Hwy Cafe, these are just some observations and comparisons. i have been going to restaurants for thirty years to read my paper,coffee and meals. at the Deforest Family Restaurant it ended up being just coffee and visiting my friend. after he fired her. i no longer go there.

Absolutely fantastic. Walked in, was greeted immediately. Super friendly and attentive waitress. The owner even "touched tables". Which was not expected. I got the fried chicken sandwich which was juicy and crispy at the same time. The waitress double checked my allergy with the kitchen, which is exactly what everyone should do (but don't) so 💯💯💯💯. She set down a bottle of house branded hot sauce, which of course I'm finna try. It was fire. Put it all over the sandwich and dipped my fries. Def a place to stop in at if you're in the area.

Wisconsin family restaurant through and through! Specials are always more than reasonable in price. Portions are more than enough! Everything we ordered was home cooked. My husband had Workman's Breakfast and it was huge, ask for a box when they drop off your plate! I had gyro skillet, not a lot of gyro meat but, it was okay. Wait staff, very pleasant but I had trouble getting a second cup of coffee and plain creamer. Atmosphere is family centered and wonderful.

Great food, family-owned. The best part is their amazing customer service. They go above and beyond and are the nicest people. Always so warm and friendly, and great with young kids.

I went there with my father and all 8 of my kids. There was minimal wait time for the food. The waiter was very kind and attentive, and the waitress who cashed out our order was very kind as well and asked about how everything was. The food was delicious and filling. The atmosphere was pleasant, and everyone seemed to be accepting of the larger crowd of kids. I got the taco bowl. I highly recommend it. It is worth every penny! The prices overall are reasonable. I would definitely come back here again.

Took my wife here for breakfast, The food was amazing, they keep it pretty cold in there so it wasn't as cozy as it should be, but otherwise it was great

Place slaps. Gyro skillet: fire. Pot roast and noodles: fire. Hot burnt diner coffee: keeps you manly. Kind people. Warm pie. These are the places that keep America great. Y’all are the best. (Sorry bout my photo I was hungry)

This is a nice family restaurant. We found it off the freeway, it was worth a short drive. Food was very good. Worth finding.

We go here regularly and really enjoy the breakfast/brunch menu. The corned beef hash is one of our favorites, offered as part of a "Skillet" or a breakfast combo, as well as a side dish add-on. It is well seasoned (using Pleasonings) and flavorful. The pancakes are light, fluffy and flavorful as well. My favorite however is the "Haystack", which is biscuits and say gravy over a bed of crispy hash browns, and two eggs on top of any style. As a tip, for those wanting to lighten up their order that normally incy hash browns are a side, fruit may be substituted for a small charge. The coffee is pretty good, and is refilled plentifully. Service is always friendly, efficient and fast, even when they are busy.

The food used to be so good, they had an all you can eat brosted-chicken and cod that was to die for. And THEN the remodel happened! Gotta pay for it somehow I guess!
