Emma Krumbee’s

Very slow service. Waited to be seated for at least 5 minutes. There was only a few tables in there. Once we got seated the waitress took forever to get drinks and ask for refills. Not a huge fan of this place.

Didn’t get past the 5 minutes standing at the «Please wait to be seated» sign in the nearly empty restaurant where two different staff members looked at us and kept going. No greeting, no «Be with you in a minute». No business from this family.

Let me make it short for all of you. Really bad service, consistently. Really bad food. The desserts look good, but I did not try them. They’re much better places to find a good breakfast in this town. I will never be going back here.

Heard good things about this place, but was very let down. First off the coffee cup they pour for us had lipstick on the outside… this can happen to any restaurant… but then, the spoon had (what looked to be cheese) on it. The sausage patty tasted «old“and was over cooked and the service was just very average. The food is not good, maybe the pies are slightly better but it’s best to avoid this place.

I was extremely excited to try this restaurant today because I was looking for a good breakfast. I went by myself and when I walked into the entrance it took over 5 minutes for anyone to acknowledge my presence. Once someone did, the girl asked for my name. I gave her my name and continued to stand there for over 10 minutes. Another girl came up and asked me if I’d been helped. I told her «yes, and it’s only me, so can I just sit at the counter?» She then suggested that was a great idea. So I sit at the counter and wait another 5 minutes for someone to bring me a menu. Ten minutes later the waitress takes my order. I decided to order the eggs benedict and 5 minutes later my waitress showed up. She asked me if I wanted a drink and then took my order once she brought my drink to me. I got my eggs benedict (if you want to call it that) 15 minutes later. The presentation was horrendous! She brought me a mound of hollandaise sauce that was literally dripping off of the plate as she was carrying it out. I seriously thought I was on an episode of Hell’s Kitchen and I was waiting for Chef Ramsey to ask the chefs who served me horse shit! SERIOUSLY, I thought this was a nightmare or joke.
For those of you that don’t know how eggs benedict is made it should have English muffins with POACHED eggs, CANADIAN bacon and hollandaise sauce. What did I get at Emma Krumbee’s? I got two hard English muffins with 2 thin slices of LUNCHMEAT HAM, 2 eggs cooked OVER EASY and a mound of store bought hollandaise. SERIOUSLY, guys? For $ 9.00 you really need to get this right! I took one bite of the dish and was so disgusted I just sat there waiting for the waitress to come and ask me how everything was. She didn’t, so I walked out. I walked out in front of her and the restaurant manager and NO ONE asked me if something was wrong! I wasted almost an entire hour just trying to get a good breakfast. I will NOT return! Horrible service, nauseating food and unbelievable presentation.

Why do I like this place? Its hard to put my finger on it.
Its like Perkins and Cracker Barrel had a baby. Your parents adopt that baby and give it to you for your birthday and you invited your friends over to run it. Your best friend decides to put a little knick knack store right inside the place. Everybody picks their favorite item to put on the menu.
Well, however it started, its in the right spot for me (3 hrs into a 5 hr drive) and has good coffee. The food has ranged from ok to great over the years. I have always been treated well here.

This is a nice little place I stop by on the way back to Illinois from northern Wisconsin.
The Positive:
The food is very good. My vegetarian fiancé said she had the best veggie omlet of her life here. The burgers are hand-​formed and delicious, and the shakes are great as well. All the food I and my family has had here is solid. The service was good as well. Our waitress was kind every time I have come. The atmosphere is cute with a grandma’s kitchen kind of thing going for it. Price is not bad, with a burger and milk shake costing about $ 10.
The negative:
This place is usually busy. You may have to wait a bit when you show up, and the food may be a little slow getting out of the kitchen. The bathroom is also down the hall into the hotel that is attached, so that is a bit odd.
Overall:
I will be stoping here again, and would reccomend this to anyone passing through Wausau.

We were just driving through the area and took a chance stopping for a late breakfast. The place was packed but we got in pretty quickly. We were shocked at how good the food was. My husband had an omelet that he said was the best he has ever had. I tasted it and agreed with him. I had the raspberry stuffed French Toast and it was out of this world! Most breakfast places taste pretty much the same but this one is definitely different. Our waitress was extremely customer focused. I didn’t realize that what I ordered had stopped being served at 11am although the regular breakfasts are served all day. She went back to the kitchen to check and they agreed to make it for me. I also usually have to send back my bacon because it’s so under done even when I request it well done. It was cooked perfectly and had a fabulous flavor. We were nicely surprised by this restaurant and will make a point of stopping here again when we travel through the area.
