Restaurants near McFarland

“A Sad Return to What Used to Be a Great Spot I first visited the Green Lantern about 10 years ago when I moved to the area, and back then, the food was genuinely enjoyable—good enough that it stuck in my mind all these years. So when my wife and I decided to revisit recently, we were hopeful for a nostalgic and satisfying meal. Unfortunately, what we got was far from it. My wife asked about the fish before ordering and was told it was frozen and cooked—not a great start. She went with a salad instead, which arrived looking tired and withered, like it had been sitting out all day. Limp lettuce and watery dressing don’t exactly make for an appetizing experience. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, expecting at least a decent meal. What I got was a plate of disappointment. There was a pool of greasy brown fat dripping onto the plate, and when I took my first bite, I thought I had just hit a fatty patch. By the fifth bite, I realized—there was no meat, just chewy, rubbery fat slathered in BBQ sauce in an attempt to mask the poor quality. When I politely brought this to the waitress's attention, she relayed the message to the cook. The response? “Ribs are supposed to be fatty.” I’ve eaten hundreds of ribs in my life, and while a bit of marbling is expected, these were inedible. No meat, just fat. What was once a solid local spot has clearly lost its way. If you're looking for a place with quality food and pride in the kitchen, sadly, the Green Lantern is no longer it.”

“Rumchata French toast and the walleye and eggs”

“I’ve been a regular since the cafe first opened. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I love that it is an important part of McFarland history. Such a great place to meet a friend. Very surprised at the negative reviews. Please support this local restaurant owned by a McFarland’s family.”

“I came with 5 other people and we ordered 4 appetizers, 9 entrees + a pizza to share amongst us and their was not a complaint about any of your dishes. We love your food, the atmosphere is wonderful, so I have nothing to say about improving your business, it’s perfect!! Well done!!”

“Good food and fast service. I will definitely will be going back.”

“The workers are so nice and it's a nice place to go to get healthy foods!”

“Amazing staff,food & drinks! Always delicious a prices are reasonable 🍕❣️”

“Don't order take out, there is no quality control coming out of that kitchen. In particular the broasted chicken. I doesn't even resemble chicken, it's so bad. Prior to the Maple Tree reopening, it was awesome. We've tried a half dozen times since then with no luck. So we won't order take out again, and being long time locals, we have no interest in dining in with the long wait. Glad business is booming, just bring back good take out.”

“Hayley is amazing and makes a stiff drink!!”

“Great bread and I love their olive relish so much. Friendly employees and fast service!”

“This staff is always amazing. Quick and on point! Friendly service, great food. always accurate, fresh, and hot! cocktails are amazing and all the tv's are so much fun! Highly recommended!”

“Has amazing dishes like the general tso chicken. Consistently cooked well and quick service with polite employees. Try a lunch special if you haven't been here before.”

“I haven’t been in there for a long time and I have seen the old and new people It was very clean and stocked awesome. Thy should get recognition for this I work in the public grocery store so I see they went above and beyond great service”

“I got drive through like 2 times in, one each in the first weeks of August. I think the cashiers need to do better math. I was shorted .24 cents the first time and a penny the next week. Change shouldn't be complicated. Good food. Just disappointed as all money helps. I always make sure to take my seat belt off at the window, have both hands out to collect the change then put it in the cup holders so if I forget to grab any, it's there. There was no change there. So their math was wrong with change. Please improve on this as I don't want to continue to lose money to you.”

“I think it was one of the Mc Donalds I liked the most! everything was great and tasty, perfect for my hours-long trip on the road, and the service was exceptional, a very friendly and patient guy served me. Nothing better than good food and pleasant service.”

“Where to begin…I truly would give this whole experience more than 5 stars if I could. It was my sister and I’s first time dining here and let’s just say it more than exceeded expectations in every way possible. The customer service was over the top incredible with Kennedy as our server and Jenna too. The manager, Emily, stopped by and was amazing as well. They were all professional, catering to us, and genuinely warm and kind. The food was fantastic and over the top. And the vibes were immaculate. Run, don’t walk to the Harvey House. I can promise you won’t regret it!”

“We had heard good things about Lallande and we were not disappointed. We ate at the bar which I would highly recommend. Our server was Nina and she made the evening fun. I had the salmon and my husband had the lamb chops. Generous portions and absolutely delicious. We also had the chicken pate which was so good. But the highlight for us was the carrot tarte. A must have, if you go.The owner Ann Marie was working in the kitchen keeping all the balls in the air, but she took time to visit with us and made us feel extra welcome. Do yourself a favor and dine at Lallande on Monroe St. Perhaps we'll see you there because we'll be back! Five stars.”

“🍦✨ Major obsession alert! ✨🍦 Ice Cream Social totally stole my heart 💕 Smelled like waffle heaven + tasted even better 😍 My new go-to for ice cream in Madison!”

“Delicious menu options. Perfect portion size for tasting all courses.”

“Everyone enjoyed the taste of their dish and would return to Madison again. The chicken Alfredo was creamy with a rich taste. We shared creamy artichoke dip. It was the best I've had.”

“Classic must try pizzeria. Absolutely delicious, they come up with great pie ideas and they are ALL hits. Their service is impeccable and their excellent cocktails give the experience the cherry on top . To add to that the prices are super reasonable. Great atmosphere, can't recommend this enough. It's become a go to return spot over the years, wether I go for a nice dinner with my partner, or getting "fancy" pizza and drinks with friends, this is the place to go.”

“The spicy salmon and prickly pear margarita were amazing!”

“My ex boyfriend took me here for my birthday once and I fell in love with it. The king salmon and the chocolate babka are amazing! 10/10”

“We went to Indian Curry House yesterday for lunch and the three of us each ordered something different but we tried each other's dishes and all were so outstanding! The lamb was so tender, shrimp was large and succulent. The chicken was moist and tender. All the seasonings used were very flavorful! The service was fast and the owners were very kind! We definitely plan on returning when we are in the area.”

“Always amazing here. Food , atmosphere, staff, and great cocktails to boot.”

“Absolutely amazing. The sushi is so fresh and the flavors are unique and delicious. I’ve come here a hand full of times for special occasions and it never fails to impress! The cocktails are also phenomenal.
We love!! Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Fuki is our favorite hot pot! We live in Milwaukee but come out pretty frequently as it’s become our favorite restaurant. Anyone we bring agrees it’s fantastic - the crispy pork is what sets them apart. The broths are all flavorful, we love the spicy and the pork marrow broth. Meat is fresh, veggies are also always fresh, and they now offer kbbq as well which we haven’t tried since we’re always in the mood for soup. We hope this place stays busy for a very long time!”

“Terrific dinner tonight with work colleagues. Delicious dishes and great service.”

“Dined here for lunch today and loved the vegan options! Menu is clearly marked so we didn’t have to modify anything, which was highly refreshing. Shout out to Living on the Veg sushi set and the crunch salad, both solid choices. Bright and welcoming interior, with equally welcoming staff! We will be back again and again. Take no shiitake🍄”
