The Servers here are rude and not friendly at all.

I found this really awesome place today for lunch. For a lunch, this place wasn’t busy at all, and I can see how it would be quite the place for a sports game. I ordered the self named Coliseum burger, but they do have some other interesting concoctions. Namely the World Dairy Burger? Two bites into my burger, and I can tell this is in my top 3 burgers! The flavor of the burger was out of this world. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned awesome, and had a slight buttery taste to it. Absolutely delicious! If you’re in Madison, highly recommend this joint for an awesome burger!

Arrived at a quiet time. Bartender was cheerful and chatty. Just what I needed.

We eat there about once a month. Service is usually good, but we have had poor service, it depends upon the server. We usually like our food. We recently went there for my daughter’s birthday on March 11, 2020. Since I am a hand washer, when we walked in, I immediately went to the Men’s room to wash my hands. When I walked in, someone just finished using the urinal and was walking towards the door to leave the restroom, he noticed me and rerouted to wash his hands. I noticed that he was wearing a Coliseum Bar shirt, he was an employee. After I washed my hands, I walked to our table and noticed that he was sitting at the bar with a drink and viewing a tablet. Hopefully he was done with his shift, not just on break. Everyone needs to wash their hands whether they are an employee or not. Employees should always wash their hands, not just when someone else is in the restroom.

I drive by this place all the time and decided to finally check it out. I went here with my dad and wasn’t sure what to expect. It was larger than I anticipated and the food came out very quickly. I ordered a chicken ranch wrap (highly recommend) and my dad ordered a French Dip sandwich, which he thought was very good. The bartender was very nice and it was an overall good experience. I would come back.

My wife and I tried this place for the first time at noon on a Wednesday. The chicken dumpling soup was excellent ($3.49 for a cup, $5.49 fora bowl). We also had the hamburger sliders for about $8.50 (chicken is also available) and for my side I had the waffle fries. Other side dishes choices are cottage cheese, cole slaw, French fries, and roasted vegetables-- one side is included with the sandwiches.

Great food and service. Fun place to meet friends

Service is hit or miss...never amazing, never extraordinary. Atmosphere is what youd expect from a sports bar. TONS of TVs with every game you can think of. The food in the other hand is without question some of the best bar fare I've ever had. Generous portions for a decent price too. If you're in the area or staying at a hotel near by, it's worth the trip.

First time visit. Had a pizza. Very good.

Our server needs to practice proper hand washing and better hygienic practices when working with food and drinks. Also, our service was slow.. Maybe if we had more people at our table she would've been a little more attentive. I think it's bogus when we sat down she asked of we were waiting long before getting our drink order. If she was circling around and touching tables like she's supposed to she wouldn't have had to ask that question.

Really good food. Very slow service though. Took almost an hour to eat but the food was delicious

Bar food basics. But well above average in quality and service. Great atmosphere and not to busy except on Tuesday nights. The Wheelhouse Band is really awesome.
