“1st time stopping here for lunch & we will for sure be back. I asked bartender Glen what the best sandwiches was & he said all of them. He was not wrong!! Owner & chef Micheal made the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. My husband, daughter & I tried each of our sandwiches the turkey, the classic,& pulled chicken. We couldn’t pick a favorite. The tomato bisque & mac n cheese were also amazing. The fun atmosphere was enjoyable to look at during the short wait. Highly recommend!!“
“This place is a true gem! Living in the southwest for a large percentage of my life, I have had a lot of Mexican food. However, since moving to the Midwest finding excellent Mexican food can be difficult. That is not the case here. This place is by far the best Mexican food I have had in Madison. They even have cactus nopales on the menu, which are cooked to perfection. My husband and stopped by for lunch to try this place as we have passed by it multiple times, but never stopped in. My husband had the carne asada plate and I had the enchiladas pollo con mole. These were mouthwatering delicious.“

“Fantastic service by Mathias, it’s not very often that I give a 25% tip but he truly deserved it. Food was so delish, fast, and fresh! Highly recommend the Spicy garlic edamame and pork buns to start. We had the lobster dumplings which were equally as delicious. We will be back.“
“The best sushi I have ever had! Exceptional food quality that was fresh and incredibly flavorful. Tremendous value for the "all you can eat" sushi. Our server, Lu, was gracious, pleasant, professional, and provided wonderful service. A must when visiting Madison!Vegetarian options: 4-6 vegetarian roll options. We had the sweet potato roll. Fantastic!!Parking: Parking In front of the door as well as the lot.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor entrance with no steps“
“What an incredible experience! Everything from the drinks, food, service and atmosphere was amazing. We cannot wait to come back again. Gabe was an incredible server - personable, knowledgeable, funny, and had the best timing (he just knew when we needed another cocktail). I cannot recommend this place enough!“
“One of my favorite foods is pastys, I was excited to learn about this place, otherwise you would find them normal in the u.p area of Wisconsin. All of the varieties are great! Had the chicken tikka masala one today, was awesome! I do like they wrap it in foil, because my 40min drive home it's still warm!“
“Good beer, actually one of the best in town. Nice, strong, intense beer styles, some quite rare, no wimpy Mexican lagers or session IPAs in sight. Good, unobtrusive service, unlike some downtown pubs. No blaring TVs which is rare these days - a nice spot to enjoy beer, talk, or think.“
“We booked the El Grito Taqueria taco truck for our wedding and they were a huge hit! They were super easy to work with—very responsive and helpful, and reasonable pricing for the value they bring. Our guests loved the tacos at the end of the night! We definitely recommend them for your next event.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“IF is creative and amazing! My wife and popped in for a drink on a random Friday night and immediately fell in love with their drinks and service. After being there for about an hour we decided this was the place to have my wife’s birthday party. Hastings was very easy to work and helped plan an amazing party. They were able to curate an amazing drink menu and also have a creative N/A drink list. Since the Party was a brunch, many ppl enjoyed the different options. Both the night we popped in and the day of the party Kelsey took amazing care of us and our entire group. We had a large party, but the staff never struggled keeping up. We were also able to bring in our food for the brunch which was a plus. I cannot say enough about this place, I highly recommend for fun evening and especially a private party!“
“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.“
“We got their baguette, signature sourdough batard, carrot cake and roast beef sandwich. I would say their breads are good but too crunchy to the point it is hard to eat. The roast beef sandwich was delicious but I wished they would toast it. Then again, their breads were too rustic and crunchy. Toasting it would be hard to consume and enjoy the sandwich. Now, moving for the desserts, the carrot cake was good and not overly sweet. Wished it had some nuts, raisins and carrots inside the cake. Overall, it has a lot of potentials, just wish the breads were not too crunchy.“
“Hands down one of my favorite coffee places!! Many drink options as well as pastries that are to die for! The customer service there is also top notch on making you feel welcomed and helping find the best drink for you! If you’re in a rush, order online ahead and start your day off amazing!!“
“Attended Muskellounge's Three Dots & A Dash collab. Drinks were spectacular, and the kitchen staff were on fire. We ordered a weekly special (burger/cheesesteak blend) and the chicken tender basket. 10/10 fantastic. I would strongly recommend checking this place out if you haven't yet.“
“Micheal the sales rep actually took the time to try to call the distributor and find this wonderful gluten free nector of the gods for my other half. What an awesome thing to call and actually have a human… and a kind one… on top of it she loved the Beer! Let us know if you want to open an alt up in Neenah !“
“The food is delicious and the people who work there are wonderful. We had a sandwich and cupcakes. You kind of feel at home there. They have a toy corner for kids too!I'd wish the toys were cleaned once in a while. They were very sticky and had crusty dirt on them. I honestly was a bit grossed out by them but on the other hand I'm grateful that they thought of kids too!“
“The Boneyard is my new favorite local hangout. I do not have a dog but I greatly enjoy going to The Boneyard and watching the dogs run around inside the fenced in area while sipping on a cold one. Always fun seeing the different types of dogs and how they interact. I appreciate that you do not need to have a dog to stop in!Terrific craft beer selection as well as many domestics, seltzers and ciders; also pull tabs and darts. Super friendly bartenders and staff, atmosphere is warm and inviting. Had Paddy's Patties food truck on site for the winter which was worked out very well since their smashburgers are top notch. Have other rotating food trucks as well as live music on some Saturdays. Highly recommend stopping in even if you don't have a dog! Awesome place!“
“This place is a little gem in the burgeoning Capitol East district (aka East Rail Corridor) where ugly, worn-out industrial buildings and loading docks have given way to hip new residential towers, hotels, restaurants, bars, a great life music venue, a historic outdoor athletic field, and a startup incubator.Really flavorful vegetarian and vegan dishes..in a cool old building...with a great outdoor courtyard...in a very hip part of Madison. Cocktails were superb, appetizers were super yummy, and vegetarian eggs were really tasty and satisfying.The other cool thing is that it shares space with a great little bar with quiet, intimate seating, and a fantastic coffee shop.Parking: Parking can be hard to find when there are concerts down the block or an event at the athletic field (both within a block) but you can usually find some spots on the sides streets to either side of the main corridor (E. Washington Ave.)“
“a true community space with excellent coffee and food. They are on a first-name basis with everyone in the neighborhood. Judging by the quality of the thoughtfully sourced ingredients, their suppliers are just as much family as their customers. if you miss human interaction and home-style food, this is your coffee shop.“
“Fantastic menu, lots of natural lighting, but the best part is they genuinely have safe options to those who can not have gluten. They even have a GF dedicated fryer. While I enjoyed the Tika Masala flatbread, my husband enjoyed the GF crispy (truly crispy) chicken sandwich with fries, thanks to the GF fryer. About that fantastic menu—I could close my eyes and pick an entree and be very satisfied with anything set in front of me.“
“Poke poke has merged with Feast Dumplings on Willy St and we are so happy we can still get the delish poke dishes! Loved the atmosphere in the new location- really nice and the food is excellent. We had Scallop Shumai for appetizer (forgot to snap a pic darnit) and it was spectacular! My hubby had the classic Hawaiian poke bowl and I had the Signature Ocean feast poke bowl. Yumsterfest!“
“loved the sweet potato frites cone (and kombucha) - our server had great saucy recos. went w some family to show what uw and the area is like to our own potential admit. we appreciate the new experience of sitting in that globe. our server was SO COOL N NICE n had great banter :)“
“Unique atmosphere and menu. The vibe is moody. Delicious food and drinks. I had the beet salad with citrus, pistachios, goat cheese, and jalapeño vinaigrette. Super fresh. The champagne cocktail was delish too. Definitely recommend this one!“
“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.“
“Nice little Asian themed tea shop with a variety of tea bases along with any combination you prefer. We got macha tea and gong fu, both were very tasty with the latter taking some skill to pour. The service here is awesome though, the waitresses will teach you the technique if you don't already know how.They also serve decent lunch, we got the beef noodle broth which was very rich and flavorful but lacking an authentic taste. We also got pork meat baos, they were more average with non-exciting flavors. The other downside are the small portion sizes.Overall great experience, would recommend for the tea and some food items since there's a paucity of Asian cuisines in Madison. Good ambience and service!“
“There is no question that this brewery is different, like their beer. Right when you walk up you'll know that this place is weird with a unique vibe. It has more of a warehouse/industrial atmosphere. A good space and bartender was friendly. The beers were good and they have a good tap list. They had a lot of unique interpretations on styles of beer. It's not a commercial mass appeal brewery but really feels like a place run by people who really love beer. We wish we had more time to sample more of their beers.“
“Great use of previously under-utilized space. Wonderful views of downtown Madison and of sunsets. It's a place to bring in your own food if you want a real meal. They let you and have the picnic tables. The beer and NA selections are numerous.Kid-friendliness: Games to play!Wheelchair accessibility: Special tables are available.“
“Came here for breakfast. I was excited for crepes, but wasn't excited about the choices. I would have liked to see an asparagusy- goat cheesy option. I ended up choosing the Crepe Supreme, which should have been called a southwest crepe. The filling was quite good, but didn't work with the crepe exterior. It should have been a tortilla. My matcha was fine- I've had better, I've had worse. All in all, I think the food was good enough for a return trip.“
“I don't even know where it start. This was one of the best BBQ experiences I have had this year. Everything was delicious. The service from father and son was a great experience and exciting. I got brisket to go, fatter and lean daughter didn't care for the lean. they fix the order to make her happy without a question. I will visit BB BBQ again and again. If you are ever in the area or just want to travel. This is a must stop. Everything had deep smoke flavor, tender and moist. Seasoning was on point. The one thing that was basic was the cornbread. But I was not there for the cornbread. Not called Cornbread butter BBQ LOL. Everyone go and enjoy this place and tell them I said HI!!!!!“
“I always enjoy my meal at Monty’s! Last night 1/14/23 my sister and I picked Monty’s for dinner! The food was good, the server did a great job! BUT the floor was littered with all kinds of things napkins, smushed French fry, a knife other things! On my way to the bathroom I noticed all that . I stopped at the counter and ask a person who was the boss, they said that they were the manager! All I said to them was ( take a look at your floor) Shortly after returning to my booth! I watched him come and begrudgingly pick up 2 pieces of paper and aggressively throw it in a bus tub! And he picked up the hazardous knife! This is a very bad impression! It was maybe 6:pm and not as busy as usual! If I was a manager I would have gotten a broom and dust pan and made sure I got it all, or ask a staff member to do it! Thank you for the good meals and good service! But by the cleanliness of your restaurant I will think twice before coming back! Thank you“
“What a cute little winery! Love this addition to the Whitney Way neighborhood. I went with one of my friends we both got a wine flight (I got white she go red). Both of us liked the wines and were able to find one that we wanted to order a glass of. We also got some food, perfect for pairing with our wine. This place is in a very convenient location in Madison, if you like wine give it a try!“
“Needed someplace to eat while waiting for my wedding to happen in Madison. Settle down was close by I walked there. I was not disappointed, the special which was I think all the chicken butter burger was phasing and the soup was as well. Reasonable price Add to my places to eat when in town list“
“Great restaurant with good food and a great place to watch a sport event and hang with friends. However the music has got to go. The playlist was so annoying I had to leave. Others were annoyed. Please change up the music. I want you to survive. Madison needs more restaurants like yours but not your music selection. Thank you!“
“Great fast lunch for Italian sub. Their Italian is much better than Jimmy John's. Reasonable prices also. The assortment of Italian meats and flavorful dressing, fresh bread and tasty provolone hit the spot. I have yet to try another sandwich style but the Italian is delicious.“
“We had wonderful service!We tried the cheese curds(the sauce was the best part), the pretzel board (Yum!!), and my entree was the birria tacos.I loved the wood throughout the building but didn't love the stairs or how far away the bathroom was. It would be tough for someone with mobility issues.Overall, everything was great, and it was a place I'd absolutely stop in again if I ever found myself near the Majestic for another show.“
“ok so i went in and this place is legit got some meats and it was so awesome. went home and had a burrito night 4 dinner lol . ooo also there is like a restaurant in the back. Brooooo it was suppper good. had to get something for lunch well i was there :D i forgot what burrito i got but it was huge and yoo i will be back!!!!Parking: well there is parking but not always close to the shops so you might have to walk 50ft or more lol.“
“I ordered the Mahi Fish Tacos. Each order includes three tacos featuring citrus-marinated Mahi Mahi, chipotle aioli, salsa verde, and crisp nappa cabbage, all nestled in soft corn tortillas and served with a side of fries. The tacos were simply divine, bursting with freshness and flavor. The Mahi Mahi was exceptionally fresh and delicious. While The Boathouse was charming on the day of my visit, it undoubtedly shines even brighter in the summer, with its picturesque views of the lake.“
“I cannot say enough good things about this hidden gem. The cafe recently had a make-over and it's impressive! The food is delicious and inexpensive. I'm vegan and greatly appreciate all the vegan options they offer. If I lived any closer, I might be accused of stalking.“
“This is the very best Chinese food in Madison! I always ask for extra veggies to substitute for the rice and the woman who usually works the counter is always super friendly and very accommodating! Their flavor and freshness is awesome! 100% recommend this restaurant! Usually I get a stomach ache after eating Chinese but I always feel great after a lunch here!“
“I originally wanted to eat at Rising Son Lao & Thai cuisine but they were closed.We stopped at this place next door and I think it was a very cute & small restaurant.i enjoyed the food but it was a little pricy for 2 entrees, they weren’t very big portions. good for lunch, maybe not for dinner.we got the chicken teriyaki & i made my own salmon bowl.interesting music choice in there.Good experience, big menu. I would come back to try the eel donburi & takoyaki (octopus balls)!“
“We sent a fraternity group to a private event on the top floor. Bobbie Jo was very easy to work with, the pricing was fair, and the group absolutely loved it. Great place for a private event, the dj got good reviews, as did the food and drinks, and there was plenty of space for the group. I'd 100% work with them again.“
“Went to the Merchant to have a nice date night, food was delicious although a bit pricey, interior was a nice, dimly lit modern vibe Carmelized onion fondue (8/10): was more of a dip rather than fondue, but the flavor was incredible, chips were good too although my personal preference would have been some crusty baguette slices Charcuterie board (10/10): wouldn't change a thing, every element was sooo good especially the mustard which was a surprise, loved the variety Braised short rib (9/10): short rib was so soft and almost melted on the tongue, enjoyed the potatoes and beet underneath as well, cabbage puree was an interesting choice a bit grainy but didn't take away from the dish Steak frites (7/10): steak was smaller than expected, fries could've been crispier but were still solid Only concerning part of our experience was that our waiter seemed a bit afraid of us and wouldn't check in very often. He also waited for a group of white women sitting behind us and seemed much more comfortable and chatty. I can't help but wonder whether this was because of our racial identity (me and my partner are both Chinese), but don't want to make any assumptions. Waiter wasn't malicious by any means and provided standard service which was just a bit awkward/uncomfortable.“
“Quite nice to me the food is good ?Vegetarian options: Many optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free options as well as dairy and vegetarian alternativesParking: Many spots to parkKid-friendliness: They love kids thereWheelchair accessibility: Elevator and ramps“
“Lauren, our waiter, was amazing. Kind, happy, funny, patient, attentive ,.. need I go on? I'm a fan of Cubano sandwiches and order one every time I see it on a menu. The one I had today at Great Dane Hilldale was the best I've ever had.“
“Discovered this truly hidden gem while we were at a training last month… we visited every day that week and can’t stop thinking about the awesome miel they made me and that spiced pear vegan donut!! If you are in the area or happen to be fortunate enough to live close… RUN RUN RUN and try just about anything they have because it’s all just splendid!“
