Nestled just outside downtown Madison, The Curve embodies the charm of a classic greasy spoon, offering a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. With a cozy interior featuring counter seating and friendly patrons, it captivates diners with its genuine Americana vibe. The breakfast and lunch menus showcase hearty portions at reasonable prices, with standout items like corned beef hash and perfectly crunchy American fries. While the small staff delivers attentive service, be prepared for potential waits. Cash only is the rule here, but the rewarding meals and dedicated service make every visit well worth it.

I tried the spinach omelet special and it was exceptional. It's been years since I've had American fries cooked so perfectly crunchy! The portion size was generous enough for two people. The coffee was also very good. Although it's a small restaurant, the food was delicious.

No pretenses. Not fancy. Just honest food at reasonable prices. For breakfast I highly recommend the French Toast.

This local diner has been a staple in the community for longer than I’ve been alive. The food is fantastic, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is always friendly. While there are limited vegan or vegetarian options available, many dishes can be customized to suit your needs. However, it’s worth noting that the diner isn’t allergy-friendly, as everything is prepared on the same surfaces. They may be able to accommodate allergies, but it depends on how busy they are at the time.

I've been visiting the Curve since I was just a few days old. The staff are wonderful, and the food is always delicious. The restaurant has a nostalgic ambiance that I truly appreciate. Prices have always been reasonable and fair. It's a perfect spot for a quick bite or for sitting down and catching up with family and friends.
