“It was my first time eating at Blue Moon. I should’ve gotten a burger but I ended up getting the California Rueben with waffle fries. Both were very good! I will need to try a burger next time. We went for lunch on Fish Fry Friday, which was obviously pretty busy. Place was packed!“
“This place has wonderful food and great drinks. Service was reasonably prompt and pleasant, food was delicious, drinks equally great. My only downside is expectations. When your times state 10:30 close, I expect 10:30 close. Instead, at 9:50 our table was told “We’re closing, but no rush, are you ready for the check?” This indeed insinuates that we should head out now. 40 min earlier than the advertised close. While finishing our drinks, all table’s chairs were being placed on the tables, a clear indication of closing. All tables chairs were on the tables except ours by 10pm. I totally understand a slow night, but as a manger, one should set expectations for customers regardless of current customer level. Instead they should set time for 10pm if this indeed is their existing typical closing time. Set a time, and stick to it. Again, food was delicious, from burger to cheese curds, it was all great. Please reevaluate your timings to align with your expectations. Nonetheless, thank you for the evening.“
“THE BEST fish fry I have ever had!The fish is superb. Three of five of us had a more than ample serving of the walleye, baked potato & cole slaw & all agreed it was great. The Friday night atmosphere is CROWDED, busy & the cacophony such that conversation is impossible. The prices are reasonable. The bartender is aloof, difficult to flag down & challenged by a simple register transaction. The cook is non-stop busy with all of the orders. The server is very cordial under the high-pressure atmosphere, so kudos to her! Overall, pretty good experience & the fish - to die for!FISH: *recommended! *Parking: Few spots in the lot.“
“The bartenders are top notch at Players. This has my favorite burger in Madison, the cheesecurd burger, especially if Charlie or Wip makes it ❤️ only complaint is bar machines are really tight, the parking is terrible, and it's always crowded because it's super small. Worth it though for the food and drinks!“
“Bustling area of Madison with great service and excellent food. This place has charm of an old Wisconsin tavern, love the new cozy space added inside. The brunch menu, Pastrami Hash, chef's kiss! Enjoy having the self service station for water/coffee.“
“Really good atmosphere, super kind staff. The jam pretzel burger special was fire. Square cheese curds, strange shape, very tasty. I would definitely come back to this spot. They served an adequately liquored up drink and did it with a smile. I may have found my new "local" as they say out in the Midwest. ALL good here.“
“I've been here before for dinner, but we met friends for beers & appetizers on a Thursday about 430pm.Great selection of beers on tap & we ordered deep frued cheese curds & mushrooms & melted goat cheese with slivers of red peppers, garlic cloves & onions served with toasted bread slices. All three appetizers were great, most especially the goat cheese, except it would have been nice to have more bread served with it.Our server was pleasant, prompt, & humorous. The atmosphere is a bit loud for conversation but it's a smaller place & generally busy.*recommend*“
“I was visiting from Milwaukee and came here with a friend. It was one of few establishments open at the time in East Madison. The bartender was super friendly and made a great Old Fashioned. He gave some history of the building as well as a free drink chip for the next time I'm in town. I would definitely patron this place again!“
“I like the place a lot. I've been there in the evening before but never for brunch. My potatoes were wildly overcooked, but the breakfast burrito was delicious. We waited a LONG time after we got our food for our server to return, but he never did until I called out to him. As if we'd disappeared. So that was weird and a little irritating.“
“Oakcrest is exactly what Oakcrest wants to be, and that is absolutely amazing. My wife and I come here for Tuesday dates while the kids are in school, and we've never had a bad experience. I can't recommend this place enough. Best burger in Madison!“

“Ate there while my Sportage was being serviced. Great lunch place. Went back on 11/11 with my better half. It was crazy b/c they do a Badger game day bus. We had 4 cheese grilled cheese w/ fries and a Pooleys beef and cheese sandwich. Both excellent. No leftovers, no pics.“
“A bit dissapointed that we couldn't get our favorite brisket mac and cheese this visit but understand brisket leaves the biscuit occasionally. Still enjoyed the atmosphere, mushroom Swiss burger, club sandwich and a regular Hamburger,Pitcher of strawberry lemonade made the date.Love the decor, want to buy a few photos for sure.“
“Nice neighborhood bar that serves very good food. Had chili and a quesadilla. Sorry no pictures. If you enjoy music from the 70s you will find this place comfy. My only suggestion is they could use at least some chairs with backs for those of us that can tolerate stools for only so long.“
“Everything about Tipsy Cow is amazing! The food, service, and atmosphere is wonderful! We got the goat cheese curds and OMG they were so delicious! And my family all got the cheeseburger, it was so delicious as well! All the food tasted so fresh, especially the cheddar on the burger. They have a bar, and a dining room. We sat in the dining room, and it had a lovely cozy vibe. Our server was very nice, and we got our food very quickly! We’ll definitely be coming here next time we’re visiting Madison! Highly recommend!!Kid-friendliness: They have a dining room, as well as a kids menu, with a great burger!“
“The Tiki is a great place to have a drink and watch the sunset over Lake Monona. It's a beautiful lakefront property, like a big back yard. The bar is full service. Food is available, usually on Friday and weekends. Military fundraiser, burgers, brats are there, sometimes a food cart. They also have occasional live music. A schedule is available online. Very low key atmosphere. A nice summertime place to go.“
“I had the boom boom shrimp wrap. It was fantastic. It even had a little kick to it, which I really appreciated. The onion rings I had as my side were mediocre. Very little onion in them. I liked the small nook with only a couple of tables. It separated the bar scene so that my group could converse and enjoy our meal. Our server has a tendency to say things as she was walking away, which made it impossible to catch everything. The food was brought out promptly. Our server checked on us a few times.Vegetarian options: They had a black bean veggie burger along with several vegetarian appetizers.Parking: The parking lot is not accessed from Seminole.“
“Went for a bit to watch the basketball game. Without the patio being open it was quite full and limited seating. The turkey blt was good and the onion rings were great! The pizza here is really good as well! Service was attentive and quick. It was pretty loud with the TV's and people talking/yelling.“
“I had the fish fry with chili and coleslaw. The fish was by far the best part. The coleslaw and chili were ok, but not memorable. The fish was good. I would not go back just for the fish, though.It was surprisingly loud even though there was not a local game on. The pool table needed more room to play, so tables were pushed out of the way, making them unavailable to use.“
“This was a great sports bar to watch the Packers game, drink some beer and have food. The bartender was fast and he was always aware of the customers. The food was great also! Highly recommend the Hawk’s burger and cheese curds. Overall was a great experience for my first time to Madison!“
“We stayed at the Indigo on 3/28/24 and absolutely loved the service. We stayed in the bar area (7pm) and the bartender was excellent, made us an amazing Wisconsin Old Fashion Sour, excellent professional and very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and quickly served. We casually mentioned that my wife's birthday was the day before and the manager I assume, ( very friendly and professional, bald gentleman) brought us a Keylime pie out of nowhere! She was extremely happy. You guys rock, thank you so much and we have been here before and continue to stay here because of the amazing service. Both at the restaurant and at the hotel, hotel staff is also very friendly and even gave our dog a doggie biscuit. This is our all time favorite place to stay whenever we are in Madison. Thank you guys! Never change, you are the best. -Cris and Nikki“
“I suppose I should state that hipster stuff annoys me a bit, so yeah... probably should take my review with a grain of salt.None the less, I've had the Bob's Bad Breath burger several times here. Wasn't the greatest this past time. Dry. Not super flavorful.Salad was really good.Staff was doing exactly what they do. Being hipsters, but serving food with a smile and helpful.“
“First experienced the Rigby for Drag Bingo this month and had a blast! Pretty reasonable prices for a place in the capitol area. The french fries are unmatched and the employees were super friendly! We met the manager as well, who made a point to come up and introduce ourselves since she didn’t recognize us.We’ll definitely be back for more of their many events in the future!“
“It was super crowded (always is on a Friday night), but that is because they're so popular! The food was delicious, and the wait staff was all really friendly.Kid-friendliness: The food was quick to arrive even on their busiest night which I really appreciated with kids in tow.“
“Visited during a Wisconsin basketball game. Great drink specials, cheese curds and service. Atmosphere for watching the game was great, plenty of TV's and lots of cheering. Highly recommend the homemade tomato bisque, it's comfort in a cup.“
“We love it. Me & my Pop's. Out of edgerton, we plan a stop at Dutch Mill whenever we're in Madison. In addition, we make our Dutch Mill a destination for pool tournaments. Great food. People are our type of peeps. Welcoming & fun.They are the whole B.O.W. (ball of wax)“
“My girlfriend and I went to get some food at Wahlburgers and ordering was fast. No line. I had my food surprisingly fast but she had to wait for quite a while. Turns out it was a mix up in the kitchen. It really wasn't a big issue but they comped her meal and upgraded it for free. The cook came out and apologized for the mistake. The food was very good and worth the wait. I told them it was no big deal and we will be coming back for sure !!Parking: They have a good size parking lot. Lots of spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed to be fully wheel chair accessible.“
“This is a fairly large bar with 18 seats, and 12 tables, located in the Edgewater Hotel. It's sister restaurant, the Statehouse, is a high end eatery with fabulous views of Lake Mendota.Augie's was named after long time owner of the hotel, who was jovial and friendly with patrons. I found this spot, certainly the bar, still seating talkative and genuine friendly folks.We came here on Thanksgiving Day, and enjoyed local brews (Spotted Cow) and a tasty Bloody Mary. PIC had the turkey dinner, and at $26, was a big MEH. It was all dark meat that was fatty, semi-good mashed potatoes and dressing and sprouts. Pumpkin pie was likely frozen. However, I had their Augie's burger, and at $18, it was a steal!! Two smashed patties, smokey strips of bacon, cheese, lettuce, REAL tomato, onions and drippy-but-yum aioli and crispy hand cut fries- I finished that baby off with pleasure!Patrons at the bar included locals and hotel guests, who clued us in to their Friday fish fry. Unfortunately, it was Thursday, so no dice. But... the fry includes marble rye, coleslaw, fries, tartar sauce, and cod for $18. And, there's a kid-size fish fry for $9. (I think they also have perch, for an up charge.)Both bartenders were very kind and efficient, especially for having to work on a holiday.There is free street parking a block away, or underground parking for a charge.Augie's is two blocks from the Capitol Building, and has large picture windows, looking out into the neighborhood. The upscale Statehouse restaurant is adjacent, with water views, but if you are looking for something more casual, Augie's is the spot!Side note... they had Clock Shadow fried cheese curds and eight different beers, all from WI local businesses.“
“Ordered the fish and chips p s and a diet coke for $8.00. Hard to beat that. Fish was good. Fries were standard and there was more than I could eat. Service was great. Bar was quiet enough to work on my crossword puzzle. Friendly locals at the bar.“
“Sunday morning breakfast of Walleye and egg with hash browns (cheese and onion optional). Self - biscuit and gravy as just had walleye couple nights before. This has to be the most sausage in the gravy as I have ever had. Bloody is great and you can get it as spicy as you want. Great selection of craft beer for a chaser. Service was outstanding.“
“Once you stumble into this hole in the all...you may never return. There is a diamond so bright in this place. Your shoes might stick a bit to the floor but embrace the vibe. They have some awesome ambiance and sling drinks even the stiffest of barflys will live!“
“Lots has already been said about this place, but a couple things that I haven't seen as much--1. It is very dark in the dining room and the bulbs are pink/red. Like, I wanted a good look at my burger after I cut it in half to check out the toppings, and I had to turn on my phone's flashlight.2. The menu says that all burgers are cooked to medium unless specified otherwise, but mine arrived with no pink.3. There aren't any seating options that aren't barrel style chairs or booths. The barstools are the same as the chairs, just higher.It's good! I'll go back when I'm in the neighborhood at an off peak time.“
“Found this place when searching for dinner and everywhere we went on Atwood was packed to the brim and had an hour wait. Found a spot at the bar and all the staff was very nice and attentive. They were still busy but got our order in right away and took about 25 min for food which they did preface before we ordered. Honestly one of the best burgers I've had ever. The tots were crunchy and just how I like them! Will definitely be back!“
“Was a nice and quiet place. Some arcade, pool and other games to have fun enjoying good drinks and beers. I didn’t try food so I can’t say anything about that, it was a quick visit having some beers and playing pool. Something is little hard to find is the main door, they should fix that for providing a better way to find the place.“
“I was expecting mediocre hotel restaurant food, but was pretty impressed. I had the smothered chicken and it was a huge portion and was delicious! Their tomato soup and cheese curds are pretty good as well. Great beer selection and friendly bar tenders too... Would definitely eat here again!“
“Coming in at 8pm on Friday was the perfect time. Appetizers are around 6$ each (x3). dinners less than 15$ each (x2). And 4 cans of beer the bill wasn't even 60$. I'm impressed and would gladly come back. The fish fry was excellent, shrimp was excellent. And the coleslaw paired well to the fish! I walked out full and happy.Parking: The lot fits the needs of the bar.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“
