“It’s hard to make food a sexual experience but the Spicy Shrimp Po’ Boy f***** my face. Fuckin’ F**** a lot of places tone spice down for ‘general pop’ but this place gives it to you raw. If it says spicy it’s spicy but it also delivers a balance of flavor with heat. It was an explosion of awesome in my mouth. So, if you are looking to eat some delicious food while in Madison and need a foodgasm, visit Stadium Take Out you will have your mind blown.“

“Absolutely perfect rest stop on the way to the Wisconsin Dells (iykyk)! We stopped for the supercharger and were able to take a lovely break for everyone to stretch out their legs. Super tasty food. The crispiest tots. An impossible burger for all my veg friends. They even gave us extra tots! They brought out and cleaned the high chair for us. Truly an amazing experience for what we thought would just be a rest stop.

Vegetarian options: Impossible burger

Dietary restrictions: Impossible burger for vegetarians and vegans

Kid-friendliness: Great kid meals, great kid portions. Really cool about the the tornado of tots left behind.“

“Great specials and phenomenal regular menu. Food for foodies!“

“Really fun lil dive bar! Friendly bartender. Within walking distance of the Sylvee. ❤️“

“They have very good food but the staff makes peanuts and is hungry for tips. I usually try to tip 20-25%. However one time when I got the bill it was way more than I had expected and I didn't have the funds to leave a tip. I felt really bad. To top it off I was told if I couldn’t tip better. don't come back. I instead of 2 drinks costing $13.00.(like the other businesses on the block)The bill was $21. I would have been leaving at least $5, but now I couldn’t. I feel the staff is a bunch of snooty college students, living off their rich parents dime.“

“Amazing vegan food cooked by a kind and generous soul. Healing and love in every bite!“

“Plaza burgers are the best! The plaza sauce and the pickles are what make them so tasty! A downtown Madison must stop.“

“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.“

“Took 1.5 hours getting food and it came cold. Ordered a cheeseburger for 17.00 and it came with no cheese. Dry and over cooked. The rest of the food was cold. Waitress was busy visiting with other staff. Was a total disaster.“

“Came for St. Patrick's Day specials. Did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Delicious corned beef special. Very friendly staff. Great service. Convenient location.“

“The best burgers! Just a great old bar.“

“NOT recommending Madison Mineral Point Road location. Husband ordered a mushroom Swiss burger. Got home, and it was a melt sandwich, overcooked and greasy. Not an option to return to get the burger he ordered. He waited forever the first time. Not calling either. It isn't worth the time and effort. Even if he had ordered this melt sandwich, I would still say it was greasy and overcooked. Sorry to all the good locations. Have never had a complaint about Culver's previously.“

“Came here on the recommendation of our Uber driver. Great call! Great place. The staff was fantastic. Maggie and Tony were especially welcoming to us Bama boys. I can’t say enough about the hospitality shown to us. The burgers and curds were phenomenal. Not sure if I’ll ever get back to Madison, but I’ll certainly drop in again if I do!!“

“Excellent service and fish fry while watching the packer game. A true gem with great food. They also have a fantastic Reuben.“

“it was great😎 i just love relax on this place“

“Just an excellent place!! I don't remember the bar tenders name!! She was GREAT!! Great place to hang out while waiting for my car at the Toyota Dealership!“

“This is a local takeout place. Mostly what they have are ice cream cakes, ice cream, and their little Frozen treats. But they do have soda and hot dogs as well. Not bad if you want to grab something to go. They have a lot of dessert options here. And there are some tables to sit outside and eat at.“

“On the search for the perfect Friday Fish Fry, this is the one so far, yet many more to sample. They allow you to have more than one kind of fish; Perch, Cod & Musky. Wisconsin loves thier Musky, so I tried that with the Perch. I was not disappointed. I will bring my friends here. Just arrive early on the weekends as the locals grab the parking spots. You may just have to make your own space, as a lot of the customers did to dine here. You can eat here, or take it to gom

Parking: The entrance to Hanks is street side, yet, you can cut through the bar to the Hanks.

Kid-friendliness: I seen some very well behaved kids not fussing. So it was great.“

“Had a good experience but couldn’t stay long to check everything out.“

“We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to the One and Only for hosting an incredible elopement dinner for our family! Robin was fantastic in helping us plan details and menu selections ahead of time, ensuring a seamless experience for our guests. We enjoyed the Deviled Eggs, Roasted Red Pepper Dish, and were delighted by the complimentary Roasted Green Bean Salad from the Chef. All three dishes were absolutely delicious!

For our main courses, we had the Stacked Burger, Scallops, Steak, and Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders. Each dish was beautifully plated and generously portioned. Our server and other staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

We had little ones in our party, and they were very accommodating by providing highchairs, a children’s menu, and kid-friendly cups. Additionally, we had a guest in a wheelchair, and the space was accessible for them, which was great.

Thank you so much for hosting us! We highly recommend the One and Only to anyone looking to host an event.“

“Parking: Lots of spots but they keep pretty busy.

Kid-friendliness: There's nice tables to eat ice cream outside and plenty of space on the inside

Wheelchair accessibility: Should be able to roll right on in for a burger and fries and Frozen Custard too.“

“I had just got off work & stopped by Culver’s on my way home to get something to-go. I was putting stuff away in my backpack & Lynette was incredibly nice & told me I could’ve did that on the counter instead of the floor. I was about to leave without a frozen custard, but she reminded me & offered to make me one fresh rather than me getting it out the freezer since she said they’ve been there from the time she made them at 9am. The custard tasted great along with the rest of my food“

“Plaza burgers are the best! The plaza sauce and the pickles are what make them so tasty! A downtown Madison must stop.“

“🤩 Great and classy! I loved the fresh burger, the sundays were awesome🍦 We tried 2 different flavors and they were very good!!😋 If you are nearby you should stop and grab a good and tasty meal here😍 So many options, you won't be dissapointed. 🍔🍨🍟

“The milkshake is amazing“

“Great dogs and Italian Beef! Fun inside decor“

“DQ cookies and cream ice cream cakes are the best!!!! I usually don’t like when ice cream cakes have sponge layers that get soggy, which doesn’t pair well with the thick ice cream. But this one is all ice cream, filled with Oreo bits and topped with chocolate glaze.“

“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!“

“I love this Burger King. The staff is always friendly, food is always fresh, never a wrong order, drive through is always fast. And their drive thru is 24 hours?! So cool. Thanks all! - weird lady that gets the bacon cheeseburger and Oreo shake. ??“

“This Place was super Clean. Their Employees were friendly, on point with taking everyone's orders, and treated Customers with respect. This restaurant period Five Guys make the Best Fries in the world hands down!!! Plus they have one of the Biggest Drink selections around. I say everyone should at least eat here once in their Lifetime!!

Kid-friendliness: It's a very kid-friendly and Family Place. My youngest Son loves their food, when we do eat here.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is very Wheelchair accessibility!“

“My family and I are here for my son as he got a huge surgery recently so we took our son out to eat as a “good job” meal.

I cannot thank Betty enough for the service she provided. She was the kindest soul yet. As a bartender, service is key, and she nailed it. She made us feel at home, and treated my son like a king.

The food was also fantastic, came quickly and was absolutely delicious.

There was also a gentlemen in a packer shirt who my son absolutely adored. Thank you for all your kind words, and offers.

You are all so wonderful.“

“Counter help was awesome. Food was prepared to my liking, received order in under two minutes.“
