Dorset Valley Schoolhouse Restaurant

First time stopping in for dinner with some friends and we had a wonderful time. We were greeted by Rick, the owner, who was especially gracious and talked to us about the history of the schoolhouse and restaurant. A very interesting story to say the least. I had the hamburger steak with american fries and a garden salad. The salad (iceberg lettuce) tasted fresh with juicy tomatoes, onions and crisp cucumbers. The hamburger was cooked perfectly, juicy and very flavorful. I would have preferred the onions cooked a bit more but were tasty. The mushrooms were few. Several of the american fries seemed to been on the grill too long as they developed a hard crust on one side and were difficult to eat. I would have preferred seeing a mashed potato selection. Enjoyed the squash which was a surprise! All in all it was a very pleasant meal with great service by the waitress. Rick was the most excellent host in this cozy remodeled schoolhouse and made the meal an event. We'll be back for sure to try the pie and some of the other selections.

Fabulous Sunday breakfast!
Sunday breakfast was very good. I had the corned beef hash skillet, and my husband had a classic breakfast. He said that the sausage links were especially good. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, including the bread.

Absolutely adorable and the burgers are fantastic. Stumbled across this spot while out in a solo motorcycle adventure. There's even a real working school bell you can ring!

We took our daughter and grandson’s to lunch after a basketball tournament in the area. The staff was so inviting the minute we walked in the door! The food was outstanding! Best burgers ever! Highly recommend to all and don’t forget dessert!

Well presented, great quality food served by friendly, dedicated people. This is my fourth time here. Each time they impress me more. The Saturday night prime rib was perfect and came with a beautiful fresh salad, warm rolls with honey butter and genuine hospitality.

Good little local place for home-cooked meals. Lunch was great and the pie selection was huge! We had hickory pie, lemon meringue, and apple pie; all were delicious!

My husband love this place.Homey and peaceful.The interior is beautiful.The owner was busy but he tried to entertain and serve better.food was good.I love the vanilla icecream/malt.Very good and creamy and not too sweet.Decent food price.My husband always support local business.

Beautiful building, great atmosphere, amazing staff for our large car club. Food was very good, although my pulled pork was a bit fatty, but all others raved of their sandwiches. Chili was also excellent! Be sure to visit their gift shop around back!

What a neat little place. Food was good, prices were really reasonable, and the staff (and other patrons) were all super friendly.

First time here. Excellent food. Service was fast. Friendly staff! Will definitely stop again!!

We were seated upon arrival. Food was received reasonably fast. Prices a little on the high side.

Fish was excellent, beer was ice cold, and the Key Lime Pie was amazing! Will come back again!

Absolutely wonderful. Don't miss an opportunity to eat here. The fish fry was fantastic, the service was phenomenal, the atmosphere was exceptional. Overall a fabulous experience. Definitely wish I would have stopped in sooner, don't be like me.

I love this place! It has become almost TOO popular during summer, with every table full during my last trip through the area. They make excellent Hickory Nut pie, and they used to let customers buy their homemade Buns(although they don't have much of a daily surplus lately with all of the customers).

I had passed this restaurant while in the area, and decided to turn around and give it a try. And I must say that I was not disappointed at all. My waitress and hostess was Kim, and she could not have been any more kind or accommodating.
The food was fantastic and the portions were great. The decor is phenomenal, and this little known place in Wisconsin is a great place to go to get your lunch or breakfast. They also have locally made breads and other items for purchase. There’s also a barber as well as a Mercantile store that is open during the weekends.

I will definitely be back, and thank you Kim for all of your kindness and generosity to a Janesville guy!

This quiet little place is phenomenal.
We've passed by this place so many times on our journeys and never gave it a thought to stop.... Until recently.
Wow is all I can say.
Stopped on a Saturday evening for dinner.
Let me tell you.....
I am not a prime rib person.... But this prime rib is mouth watering delicious.
The menu isn't really big.... But it doesn't need to be either.
Desserts are exceptionally good as well.
I will most definitely be back

Wonderful experience all around. Service, food, prices... all great! Hickory nut pie for dessert was scrumptious. We will be back!

Such a beautiful drive to get there, such a charming little schoolhouse to dine in. The food is great, the prices reasonable, and the service excellent. There is an outdoor dining deck, if you prefer that, too. And...if you enjoyed your meal, RING THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL BELL! Too cool! 🔔🔔🔔

We had the daily special. Pot Roast with real mashed potatoes.

Great staff. Greater food. Ten out of ten, probably my favorite restaurant of all time!
