We were passing through Friday on the way to the cabin and needed dinner. I had the Greek salad, my husband ordered the fish special, my daughter had a pancake & my son had a fancy grilled cheese. My salad was huge with lots of tzatziki and fed 2 people. The fish was not very good but the potatoes were just like grandma makes. You only need 1 pancake because it’s platter sized. The sandwich was lovely

I have had 3 breakfasts here in last two years and they were all very flavorfull and freshly prepared from scratch. the hangover hash I had yesterday was especially memorable. I recommend eating here for tasty food, honest service, good prices and the old fashioned, but remade wisconsin roadhouse breakfast cafe. its a step above the standard fried eggs and bacon place - all the items have a unique savory flavor thats makes this a great experience. eat here, places like these are rare these days.

I've never been disappointed. I have waited till I visited many times to write this review. The price is right, the food is plentiful and good. As a person who can't eat pork, I am happy to say that they will adjust to help. I always love the service. If your traveling through St. Croix you will be happy to pause at Not Justa Diner/Not Justa Etc.

The customer service here was awesome with Abby. I've heard complaints, about other servers, but my party of 5 had no issues. Our server was patient, understanding and got everything we ordered right. The food was hot, drinks were cold and our coffee cups stayed full! The food was delicious, we were given quite a bit of food actually and the prices were not outrageous. If you have never visited this location, you might want to check it out!!!

Breakfast was good, even the eggs-over-medium. I walked right to my seat and was served quickly. The hash browns were crispy as they should be. I ordered just what I wanted, ignoring the menu suggestions. Besides the diner area there are some gift offerings. I’ll go back if I’m nearby.

Great friendly atmosphere, our waitress was great and efficient. Our food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Thier turkey club is amazing and my husband had the Denver omelet which comes with hash browns and two pieces of toast. Pricing is also great. The little shop has unique items also. We will definitely be returning soon and highly recommend this diner!!!
