We were in Madison for a mournful time as my wife’s two older brothers had passed recently.Jennifer, the manager, treated us as old friends and special people. We returned multiple times over several days, always having great food and memories whether by ourselves or with family. We’ll keep returning for an old fashion and cherry bounce White Russian and curds!!!

Cheese Curds were really good, but the macaroni and cheese were quite bad. I wouldn't expect that as cheese is the main seller here.The building itself is super cool, and it was very busy on a Sat night. That being said, there was no wait, because they have a ton of sitting.Wife had the fish and chips and it was ok

This is definitely old fashioned- fried, not-so-good fatty food sitting heavy on the gut. Topped off NOT by a baseball game on the tube, but rather a just-as-bad Charlie’s Angels rendition. Would I come here for beer and curds- maybe, for anything else? No.

Great food and fun environment. We had homemade chips and dip for an appetizer, then a fish fry and a chicken sandwich for dinner.They run the place like a well oiled machine. The hostess was quick to find us a table and the waitress was quick to bring drinks. After allowing us plenty of time to look over the menu, she was back to take our order. What was nice was they gave us plenty of time to eat our appetizer before the food runner brought our dinner.If there was one complaint, it was that we were seated right by the door. Which the hostess told us prior. And while it normally would be an issue, it was very windy that day, and people weren't closing the door behind them.All in all, a great experience .

The onion strings with the spiced paprika sauce is all it takes to make a trip to Madison worth it.
