The Story of Joey’s Diner

Joey’s Diner is a labor of love, built on the idea that great food tastes even better in a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Located in the heart of Downtown Waukesha, our retro 1950s-themed diner brings a touch of nostalgia to every visit.


We opened our doors with one goal – to make Joey’s Diner a place where locals and visitors alike feel right at home. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by the charm of a bygone era, from the vintage décor to the tunes of Elvis on the jukebox.


Our menu is inspired by classic American diner favorites – hearty breakfasts, juicy burgers, crispy fries, and Wisconsin cheese curds – all made fresh and served with a smile. But what really sets Joey’s apart is the people. Our staff knows our guests by name, and our owner loves greeting customers at the door.


Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere, and become part of our Joey’s Diner family.
