The food was absolutely delicious. It’s actually better than Culver’s. The service was excellent. We received cookies while waiting for our order and we received homemade carrot cake when we finished our meal. We will be back

Absolutely fantastic experience. Walked out of this restaurant 10 minutes ago and already planning on coming back. Joey went out of his way to make some chicago dogs for us and had a milkshake and cake to follow. Absolutely in love with this restaurant, deserves way more than 5 stars!!

Joeys diner is more than a hidden Gem, it is an entire goldmine! I have gone on four separate occasions, and on each occasion the staff was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and personable. One time our meal was taking a little longer to get to our table (I hadn't even noticed given how much fun we were having) and the waitress brought us delicious milkshakes to hold us over. They were incredibly accommodating when I went with someone who had celiacs, equally accommodating to a baby in a stroller and a dog on the patio; the food was great too (especially the cheese curds)! The theme of the diner was incredible, and it was completely decked-out in Halloween decor! With food that tasty, people that kind, and a price point CHEAPER than what I could get at Culver's for exact same meal, it easily became a regular favorite spot of mine.

Stepping into Joey’s Diner is like being transported straight back to the 1950s in the best possible way. The decor music, and atmosphere create a euphoric time warp that makes the whole experience unforgettable. And the food matches the vibe, especially the burgers. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, they taste like the kind of burger you dream about when you think classic American diner. Add in crispy fries and friendly, fast service, and Joey’s is the perfect blend of nostalgia and amazing food. A Waukesha must visit.

My daughter and I just happened to be in the area and picked Joey's diner to eat at. It was the best decision we ever made. People were so friendly. Staff was amazing and the food was delicious. The owner is present and always asking if everything was okay and how are we enjoying our food? Just a very pleasant place to eat.

We just came today for our one year anniversary! We got free dessert , shake, and Popsicles. Everyone was so nice to us and I've never felt this happy and seen in an establishment before. My boyfriend said they had the best burger he's ever had and if he lived around here, he'd go broke because he'd spend all of his money on the burgers! Haha. I cant wait to come back and feel so loved by strangers again❤️

Joey’s was great. This is our second time here. The first time we came here with a fairly large party, 8 people, and all felt well taken care of. This visit was the same. Both times the staff was very friendly and attentive. Between both visits we’ve tried burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

I have been to Joeys many times with my family! It’s a simple throwback diner menu and the food executed just right every time I have been there. Great burgers and fries. I also recommend the cheese curds. They are a must! The staff is very friendly and they are always trying to deliver fantastic service! Joey is always there and is one of the most special restaurant owners I have encountered in ages! He cares! He cares about his staff, his food, and most of all his customers! He is constantly helping his staff, constantly helping lead them and always giving them positive feedback about their hard work! I front of everyone, this is no secret! He and is staff always greet customers as they come through the door and best of all they bless every customer leaving and thank them for their patronage! They give free cookies to tables with children and sometimes even a free little milkshake! All through summer they are handing out icy pops to customers of all ages when you are hot. I have even seen Joey giving them to just kids outside biking on the sidewalks, not even there eating! Joey, his staff, and Joeys Diner are all becoming staples of a great Waukesha community! I wish them great success and I encourage everyone to stop in to Joey’s Diner for a delicious meal and terrific experience! Thank you Joey and your staff for always delivering a terrific dining experience to my family and thank you for going above and beyond with how you serve people you’re truly a diamond in the rough!

Joey’s is a fun place to eat. We’re not from the area so we were a one-time visitor but if in the area we would return. Upon arrival we were greeted by a jovial greeter which set the tone for a good experience. After being seated and ordering the side of corn dogs which were to die for we were brought a small plate with 2 fudge stripe cookies-nice touch!!! Our shakes were delicious and wish they were a little bigger. We both ordered double cheeseburgers and fries which we really enjoyed and how can you go wrong with a smash style of burger. We recommend eating here and will be back if in the area.

We were visiting friends who recently married and eight of us had lunch on the front porch area. Joey and his staff were incredibly accommodating, even as the place was packed. He made room for us on the veranda, and the server was fast, friendly, and helpful. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered several burgers, a grilled chicken sandwich, and I ordered the veggie alternative, which was delicious. Their chocolate cake made me want to slap somebody, it was SO GOOD! Highly recommend going there!

We just had lunch at Joey’s Diner and it was such a treat. Staff is very helpful and attentive. Joey is such a kind man! Makes sure he personally checks on every table. My autistic grandson was touching a Beanie Baby and Joey just handed it to him to keep. Then followed up with popsicles for the children. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. So regretting I didn’t try the cheese curds but now I have a reason to return. Decor was so heart warming and reminiscent. Definitely will return with family and friends. Thank you for your kindness.

I just wanna say that the atmosphere and the staff are superior to most places. They really put effort into checking in and super friendly at that. I would say the food is not bad. They do put effort into that as well. But the quality of the burger meat is alright. The cheese curds were the best part! I thought I could get a shake with my meal but it’s not on the menu so I was a little disappointed. But I did get a root beer float and that was good. I got the patty melt. The bread was perfectly toasted. I could see there were grilled onions but didn’t really get that sweet caramelized flavor I’m used to. The cheese pull was insane! But like I mentioned before the quality of the meat was not that great. Truly no fault of how they cooked it or anything, it’s just what they ordered. Overall I do give this place a solid 5 stars for atmosphere and and service, but I would say 4 for the food. 🍔

Amazing establishment! Every single worker at this establishment was friendly and welcoming. Owner was great! He was very welcoming and did everything in his power to make everyone that walked through his doors happy. I have never gone to a restaurant where the owner was so inviting and friendly. This was my first time here and I’ll make sure I make the extra trip to come back. It’s rare for me to give 5 stars on every level but this place deserves it. I visited this diner with my family which consisted of 3 children, myself and my wife and the owner made sure we all were happy. When we walked in the doors we were hungry as we didn’t eat due to our busy schedule. By time we left we were so stuffed. The owner treated us not only with milk shakes but a piece of cake at the end! Plus cookies! Food is amazing. Thanks for putting a smile on my families face and our tummies.

The music, the decor, the food, Joeys is a whole vibe. Years ago my Dad got sick and we made a “burger bucket list” to fulfill his quest for the best burger & fries. I still seek out the perfect burger on his behalf. 6 years after starting this list Joeys Diner is a stand out. Joey personally greeted everyone that walked thru the door. The staff were attentive and friendly. The menu is basic no frills. Everything was perfect! I wish my Dad were here to try it.

Stopped into Joey's Diner with the family and tried the Joey Burger and it was absolutely fantastic! The burger was cooked perfectly, juicy, and loaded with flavor, with fresh toppings that really made it stand out. The portion was generous without being over the top, and you can tell they take pride in serving quality food. The diner itself has a friendly, fun vibe that makes you feel like you are back in the 1960s. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area. I'll be back to try more from the menu

I was happy the Buffalo Chicken Salad had the option of grilled vs fried chicken. I ordered grilled. The salad was very basic, plus, I had forgotten how much I dislike buffalo sauce (it is nothing like barbeque sauce), so I ate very little. My husband was also unimpressed with the fish sandwich. French fries were good and our son enjoyed the root beer float. It's was nice to have outdoor seating.

Outstanding Experience at Joey Diner! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just had an amazing meal at Joey’s Diner in Waukesha and I can’t recommend it highly enough! We ordered burgers and a fish sandwich, and everything was absolutely delicious. The food quality was top-notch and the portions were generous - excellent value for your money.
What really made our visit special was Joey himself. He took personal care of us throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed. As a sweet surprise, he even treated us to a complimentary Homer Simpson donut that was the perfect ending to our meal!
The restaurant was spotless - you can tell they take real pride in maintaining a clean, welcoming environment. But what touched me most was watching Joey step outside to give a burger patty to a little dog. That simple act of kindness really showed the heart behind this business.
If you’re looking for great food, fair prices, and genuine hospitality in Waukesha, Joey’s Diner is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!

We came here for lunch with a group of 8 and were blown away by the service, food and atmosphere. The patty melt was one of the best I’ve ever had. The manager / owner was so energetic and kind. He even chased us down as we were walking out to give us free cupcakes. Definitely a must stop if you’re in the area.

This is a must for visiting downtown Waukesha! I happened upon this little gem and was captivated by the entire vibe, plus the care that Joey had put into the décor and ambiance. Joey established the diner about a year and a half ago, and it was quite apparent that this was a labor of love. Joey was very welcoming and attentive to all of those who came for lunch. No table or seat at the counter was left unchecked by Joey himself, and his two servers were also very attentive. Last but not least, it was great to get seated with a couple of fudge-striped cookies!

Joey, I don’t know how you do it you and your staff are absolutely a blessing to your customers. We seen you extremely busy tonight with a line out the door and you still held yourself together with a couple of people working I don’t know how many to go orders. I seen go out the door while your restaurant was full and people waiting. Your timing was very good. About 12 minute ticket times I’ve been in the restaurant business for 30+ years and know exactly what it’s like to have a restaurant full of people and the stress it brings and you kept encouraging your staff. you stayed positive. The tickets kept coming, and the tables kept flipping . I listened to the others chatter around me, and there was nothing but pleasant people that were happy speaking about how positive You are and how's encouraging you are to your employees. Keep up the good work will be back and tell many others about you.

Great breakfast. Wish it was later and we’d crush some burgers. One man show this morning. Server, cook and bus boy in one. Worth checking out. Skillet style breakfast that were solid and consistently made. French toast was also very good. Support local gems like this. Nostalgic feel with old school tunes.

We were referred to the diner for my gentleman I work with. We walked in today and we're greeted by Joey. He made a table for us greeted us unreal. The staff that he has is amazing. We had cookies brought to our table along with some wonderful food that was served very quickly. When I went to bill out we were given to push-up popsicles. Unbelievable experience. We will be going back soon and I would recommend everybody in the area to try them out. We didn't get a chance to go into their pizza place next door but that's going to be our next stop smiles

As someone who has worked in restaurants from everyday food to fine dining, this place checks all of the boxes.

The food is simple but done flawlessly. Not everything has to be complicated to be good. If done well simple things are just as good if not better. There is still skill involved. Well balanced tasted. Textures where spot on. And the food came out fast, fresh and hot! Beware the onion rings and deep fried mushrooms have not been sitting around for any length of time.

The service. The young woman who took care of us was very excellent. Having been a server I can be really be really critical too. She was warm and friendly but not important genuine. She felt like that cousin you had not seen in a long time. That is a skill that cannot be taught. Before knowing that I was talking to the owner's daughter suggested she work at a fine dining place because she would absolutely crush a job like that.

The atmosphere of the place is great. First off the place is clean. The tables are spotless and not sticky or greasy. The table being the most important place. It's an open kitchen so you can see just how clean it is back there. There are a smaller number of tables so it was busy, but not outrageously loud. The owner came out to greet each and every table and to make sure everything was going great.

Before the meal came they brought out a few complimentary cookies for everyone. Definitely a nice and thoughtful touch.

When the food came out, initially I thought the portion size was a bit small. I had a burger and deep fried mushrooms. I will say despite the size I was definitely full by the end. It turned out to be exactly the perfect portion size. I came in really hangry too after a long day of buying a new car. So my appetite was definitely healthy.

The prices are great. You'd spend more money at Red Robin. Though RR doesn't have that same authentic atmosphere nor the outstanding service.

The negatives. Nothing outrageous but every place has things it can improve. I am always nitpick. The tables are old and do wobble a bit. And there is nothing they can do about the parking, but it is not terribly convenient. It's a downtown location so there's really nothing that can be done about that.

Food 10/10
Service 10/10
Atmosphere 9.5/10
Overall 9.8/10

One of my new favorite places. It's not often a business itself has charisma. So when it does, it really stands out and leaves an indelible impression. I'm just upset I live 2 hours away. I will come back when u have to head this way already. Easily worth an hour detour. It's not just food, it's the complete experience you won't regret.

What a fun place! My daughter, her friend, and I searched for a place to eat and decided to try Joey's Diner, and I'm so glad we did! The food was delicious-awesome cheese curds😋🤤, the atmosphere was so fun with the Coca-Cola decor, juke box playing classic tunes, but the service was what made it really great! So friendly and and welcoming; always checking in with everyone; and thanking us for choosing Joey's! Extra surprises that we didn't know were coming, even a free slice of cake! Great prices, too. Thanks for an awesome experience-we'll be back! 🍔🍟🥤

Even though the food was good it was smaller portion. When I asked management he stated they had a 50’s type of vibe with smaller portions. But charge almost $8 for a burger. It looked like the size of a burger from Wendy’s 🤷🏼‍♀️ He did make another one for me on the house. I got no bun for low carb which is on the menu. But there isn’t much else that is low carb friendly. So my lunch was 2 small patties with bacon lettuce and condiments. That alone was about $8 or $9. So in my opinion if your going for smaller portions for a ‘50’s vibe’ maybe have your prices to match 👍🏼

This was one of the best experiences I have in a long time. The inside was a slice of my childhood. It was like walking into a restaurant from the early 60s. The food prices were great and everything was so good from cheeseburgers, onion rings, and fries. I got tears in my eyes listening to music that I grew up with. The owner is so charming and made it so much fun!! We plan to come back very soon.

First time here.came from watertown to give them a try. We all had burgers/ chicken sandwich. Cheese curds are amazing! Vibe/atmosphere is amazing. Customer is amazing! They are ALL ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. Hard to find a place like this. They gave us stickers,shakes,cake and popsicles(😅) on the house. We definitely left full and happy. We will be back for sure! I hope this place sticks around and the community continues to support this awesome business! Definitely give this place a try if you haven't already.
