Reviews for David Reay's Modern Diner + Tavern in Onalaska, WI

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat after a recommendation from a friend. It did not disappoint, highly recommend. Service was... exceptional and if you find the perfect Wisconsin day seating on the patio is a must! In the photo is The Comfort Bowl which itis, comforting....and delicious. Cannot wait to return for other menu items. Read more

Atmosphere is fine, it was lovely eating on the patio. Service was fine. Prices a bit high. Decided to add avocado to my BLT.... Definitely not worth the $2 upcharge, as you can see in the photo. Read more

The hostess told us it would be a 20 minute wait for seating and then a 40 minutes wait for our meal. We skipped a table and sat... at the bar. The hostess was close, it was 50 plus wait for our meal. We watched the bartender move and hustle the whole time.The restaurant was full of empty tables and booths so it was obvious they were short staffed. I did not like my side of mashedpotatoes but other than that and the wait it was a nice experience. Drink menu is large, tv?s at each side of the bar, shadedpatio seating and a clean bathroom. Parking is side street so be prepared to parallel park. Read more

Ate there for the first time today. I had the chicken and waffles with a side of breakfast potatoes. It was good. Only downfall... is the waffle itself lacked flavor. Perhaps some vanilla added to the mix could have really amped it up! Otherwise I gotta say Iwas pleased with my visit. The staff was friendly and attentive, but not overly attentive to where you can't chew your foodwithout being bothered lol. I will definitely be showing up again for another meal! Read more

David Reay?s was absolutely AMAZING last weekend for our wedding dinner with family. The atmosphere was elegant, service on... point, and food was delicious. Thanks again to Ryan and the staff for helping coordinate and put together such a perfectexperience. My wife and I highly recommend checking this place out, not only for a meal, but also for any events or dinner partyideas you may have. ???????? Read more

Great atmosphere, clean, employees very attentive. Reason for 3 stars?. My daughter ordered the ?Comfort Bowl? off the... specialties, bread bowl with mashed potatoes, breaded or grilled chicken, and brown beef? Gravy. Kinda weird and nothingspecial at all. Came with a side. I ordered the macaroni and cheese and added pulled pork. It had a plain piece of toast cutin four squares with butter?not even garlic bread. I will give this restaurant another try as they have an extensive sandwichand hamburger menu and maybe this first try was just not their best effort. Prices range from $8.00-$15.00. Read more

We had great service. Despite being packed inside and outside, we received our food pretty quickly. The food itself was... delicious. The sweet potato fries weren't soggy or over cooked like many places. The steak was also cooked to perfection. Theonly thing stopping a perfect score was that the restaurant was FREEZING COLD inside. My teeth were almost chattering. Read more

We had to wait several minutes after being seated until a waitress greeted us. She was very sincere and kind in apologizing, and... she gave us impeccable service after that. They appeared to be a little short handed. The wait was worth it! The chicken waffleand southwest wrap were both very delicious. The spicy ranch really made the southwest wrap flavorful. They have a nice indoorand outdoor atmosphere, clean bathrooms, and it feels very modern and updated. Read more
