Highway 63 Diner

This is a great spot for comfort food. The salad is never-​ending with homemade dressings! Staff is extremely friendly. Also a great place to buy a jar of bleu cheese dressing or a dozen rolls to go. Their rolls are huge and taste wonderful!

It’s not so much that the place, the service or the food was «bad» it was simply «adequate» and that was disappointing

The rolls taste stale but who cares! The dressing is homemade and the cheese curds are the best! The marinated chicken salad is the best. The chicken wraps are just average. Don’t get a wrap if you go!

We eat at this place regularly. Most items are really good, and the service usually is too. Sometimes I get a little irritated by adding $ 1 here and there for sides or slice of cheese is a little much, given the prices are already on the high end for a diner.

The restaurant was recommended from some relatives, and I’m glad we took the recommendation! For lunch I tried their French onion soup. It had a delightful flavor, although the cheese they used added a thin layer of oil to the top… It was still worth it! I had never had a «frenchy» before (a deep fried grilled cheese sandwich) but very much enjoyed it, it’s an interesting concept that worked out well.
For dinner I enjoyed a grilled chicken wrap marinated in seasoning. A typical wrap includes lettuce and tomato, they went the extra step by adding onions and cucumbers. The onions were a bit overpowering, as raw onions can be, but the ranch mixed with the chicken juices at the bottom of the wrap became absolutely divine. Their three-​cheese pasta was wonderful as well, the pasta was slightly overcooked but the cheeses made up for it… They were light and not greasy.
The only drawback was the salad. Although the creamy garlic dressing was the stuff of dreams, the salad itself was just a simple shredded salad mix that tasted like it came from a bag. Can’t recommend that at all, but the garlic dressing would be great in any five-​star.

Our food was good. The prime rib delicious but cool. Did take a while for our large group to have orders taken and brought to the table. We had a large group and had called ahead for seating. The manager was very huffy, almost rude, when we asked where our group was seated. I’ll try one more time but if the manager can’t be a bit more friendly, then either he needs to get a different career, or we will just go elsewhere.

We were concerned about stopping here after reading the reviews BUT we were pleasantly surprised. For a diner, this restaurant was pretty good. And the prices were average. The homemade salad dressings were delectable. The BEST Thousand Island I have had. I would buy more to take home if we were not in a road trip. The kids meals were large and less than $ 5 including beverage.
The service was fantastic! I don’t know what the other reviews were talking about because were were greeted & sat immediately. Our server was friendly, present and gave good suggestions.

Husband and I went there on a referral from a local last night. He ordered the Prime Rib– $ 18.99 — Big slice of meat, excellently prepared and right on Medium Rare. I had the chef salad, very good with the homemade garlic dressing. My only complaint would be the shredded lettuce. I also had the four cheese pasta as a side (great flavor and creamy luscious.) My husband had cottage cheese instead of salad and mashed potatoes with his meat. The whole wheat rolls tasted like they just came out of the oven, delish! Our server was attentive and very nice. The host was the major domo of the ownership team. He was fast, nice and impeccably dressed. We will come again in our future trips to the Waterloo/​Cedar Falls area. We like the fact that the parking is easy and they take credit cards! Try the place and find out the great variety of options to eat at dinner. You are not limited to only full dinner meals. Good option for a large group with children and picky or healthy eaters!

If the ratings could be divided between food and service this would be easier. I absolutely love their homemade salad dressings and their classic sub. Their broasted chicken and potatoes are also really good. Unfortunately, I cannot find anyone to eat here with me because the service is so poor they do not want to go back. In particular, the host has been so rude to many people I know that I would give the service a 0. If you can get take out from here do so, and then you can enjoy the food without the drama.

Food is great, but the service is terrible! I agree that it would be nice to be able a give a 2.5 rating. They need to rethink how they run their business,

Friendly. Handled a large group for lunch.
Grouper sandwich tasty.

First impression of the Hwy 63 Diner was very good. It’s nice and clean and the people are friendly.
The Prime Rib Sandwich was pretty good, although it was cold and not even close to being rare. (It was well-​done). They wanted to charge me an extra $ 1 for bleu cheese dressing, which I thought was kind of ridiculous after I’d spent over $ 40 for the three of us. Our waitress was really great and had a wonderful sense of humor even when I was giving her a hard time about the additional charge for the dressing. My wife had broasted chicken, which was very good, but the pieces were very small.
We’ll definitely go back since we live only two minutes away, but for now it’s not our first choice.
I’ve heard this is a Landau restaurant, but not sure. I wish there were a way to rate at 2.5 or 2.75 stars as it wasn’t really A-​OK, but somewhere between meh and A-​OK.

Food was pretty good. They served a shredded lettuce salad (OLD SKOOL!) family style with 4 homemade dressings that was pretty good. The rolls were fresh and tasty as well. I look forward to trying it again.
