50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waunakee

“It’s the local spot. Great owner and staff, good prices, live music, meat raffles, friendly atmosphere. The Mizzo is the shizzo.“

“Had always seen the sign from the Interstate during our travels, finally decided to check it out. Cozy seating by the fireplace, perfect for a wine tasting and charcuterie. So grateful they use actual wine glasses for the tastings instead of little plastic cups like some places. Will definitely come again in the warmer months to check out the patio and vineyard side.“

“Cool place; love the logo .. brisket tacos were good“

“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.“

“Great pizza and nice ambiance as usual. What made our evening even better were the warm smile and friendly personality of our waitress Mel! She nicely engaged in joking conversation, went above and beyond to accommodate our special request, and frequently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Outstanding food and service — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We held a birthday party at State Line Distillery on short notice due to weather concerns with the outdoor venue that was planned. They were exceptionally welcoming and extremely accommodating. So many guests commented on what a great space State Line offers—both inside and outside. Not to mention the delicious high-quality drinks and friendly, helpful staff. High praise and top recommendations for this local gem. 💜“

“Really exceptional bowl of chirashi. You have to look a bit to find this on their menu but it's there...just a bit buried. That's not really a surprise as I consider chirashi to be the hidden secret on a quality sushi places' menu. No exception this time!

Everything was nice and fresh plus the assortment was great! I enjoyed being able to note the differences between 3 different varieties of tuna. I really enjoyed the pairing of the salmon roe with the snapper and found the salmon to be melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Seared albacore was really tasty as well. Best bite of the night? The big eye tuna. I generally prefer bluefin but had both side-by-side and enjoyed the big eye piece more.

Rice under the lettuce threw me a little but I guess that was the chef's attempt to segment the dish a bit. I tossed the lettuce aside and enjoyed the balance of the dish, including the assortment of vegetables as well.

Chirashi is a great way to go if you're really just interested in the fish. The tables around me were heavily laden with trays and platters full of rolls that just oozed ingredients all over. I'm a bit more of a purist and really enjoyed the chirashi but I would guess their rolls are pretty fantastic as well, if that's your thing.“

“We had such a great experience! The service was fantastic, the cocktails were excellent and it was a great atmosphere!“

“Excellent pizza, we’ve never had a bad experience (ordering more than just pizza), and we’ve been 10+ times!“

“They had a glitch with their online order; let me order Prime Rib on a day that they did not serve; when I arrived to pickup, they had no online order for me, even though I received a confirmation. They prepared another steak meal - but it was excellent!! Great flavor!! When ordering online, may want to double check they received the order.“

“Only Madison insiders know about this amazing restaurant! If you blink walking down the street you might miss it- the outside is unassuming and has limited signage. When you walk in, the ambiance is completely different than the exterior: warm honey wood everywhere and comfortable booths to sit in to enjoy their DELICIOUS food. We’ve tried a variety of their dishes and they never disappoint. They have a long list of teas as well- served on a tray with adorable little cups and a pot. We love this place!“

“I’ve been here about10x and have never been disappointed . Lots of yummy veganized options of classic meaty items“

“The best sandwiches I’ve found in madison. Chill atmosphere, incredible food. Probably the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. All I wanted today was a sandwich and couldn’t have prepared for the absolute beauty that was placed in front of me, quite quickly I might add. Check this place out or you’re absolutely missing out!“

“Great cider creations!! Always something different and delicious. Worth taking some cider home too. They also have food trucks and live music sometimes.“

“Imaginary Factory (or “If” iykyk) has a Clockwork Orange themed decor. Think Korova Milkbar with fewer sociopaths and more good cheer.

On offer was a Coconut Julius, an Orange Julius inspired frozen cocktail with coconut milk and wine. As a latchkey child of the 90s, I had no choice but to order. The first sip was a proustian moment. I was immediately transported back to the food court of my childhood suburban mall.

The star attraction of Imaginary Factory is owner and bartender Hastings. Think Sam Malone with the affect of Norm and the sex appeal of Frasier.“

“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!“

“Our waiter was very polite, kind, and prompt. The food was a cut way above a typical ethnic food restaurant. Very unique as well as delicious choices. Definitely ranks at the top of my list of places to dine. Five stars!“

“El Grito stopped by my clinic to bring delicious tacos and cheer to our healthcare workers during this crazy time. The tacos we had were smaller, so you didn’t feel guilty eating all of them real quick. The flavor was awesome too! I highly recommend adding the mango habanero sauce, if you like that extra kick! I wish they were here all the time!“

“Great pizza. Perfectly charred underneath. Some of The most flavorful pizza sauce I’ve had in Madison. All around delicious“

“Chocolate Shoppe catered our wedding dessert and they were completely perfect! They bring a truck with about ten flavors including 1-2 DF flavors, and scoop into dishes or cones. The guests loved it on a hot, summer day, and it felt a lot more memorable than cake. They were super easy to work with in booking the event and the employee who worked our event was so kind. It was a huge hit and the ice cream was, of course, delicious! We would definitely book them again for a large event and would recommend them to friends.“

“Love the charming European Grand Cafe vibes. An abundance of outdoor seating is available. Our server was very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks and food. One of the smoothest bloodys I have had. Food was absolutely delicious! What a great spot for brunch and enjoying a view of Madison.“

“Great GF beer. Deep flavors not found in most of the crap on the grocery store shelves.“

“Top notch atmosphere, great drinks, good food and snacks, dog friendly. Feels like a cabin in the northwoods. I want to decorate my basement to resemble the Muskellounge because it just has the perfect feel. A must stop whenever we are in town. Highly recommend this place.“

“Y'all.…. this place is out of this world!! Everything from the wine, appetizers, entrée desserts and coffee are just phenomenal!! Do not pass this place up! I love the line of this chef… The way the music goes, that’s the we dance! And that’s exactly what this place is all about. Everyone loves this place! Tony Bennet and famous athletes from all over - including Reggie Bush!“

“This European style tavern is a classic throw back.
The bar itself has some of the best local, national and international beers served in town. And served in proper glassware.
The back bar is stocked with a wide and varied selection of high quality whiskies and spirits.
There is something here for everyone.
Whether you’re looking to meet up with folks or are seeking a drink while reading your current book, this place is for you.
Kudos to the team for bringing this to Madison and keeping it alive!“

“I hired Beef Butter BBQ for my wedding and they did a FABULOUS job. The food was to die for, the employees extremely helpful and kind, and I could not be happier!“

“Very good tasty food with a nice variety and presentation and atmosphere“

“Great food and service! Very friendly atmosphere.“

“Incredible value, friendly wait staff, great food! This is always my go to for ayce sushi, teriyaki, and hibachi.

The atmosphere is fine, but that's not this place's charm. The food is good enough to make the vibe unimportant anyway.

Literally all I would ask for is for the menu sheet to have room to clearly write multiple rounds.“

“My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the friendly staff and delicious food and drinks at Alchemy! I highly recommend it!“

“I would give this place 10 stars if I could! My car broke down and I rolled into the parking lot of the Springfield Inn. I was so lucky to have found the place. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful to my daughter and me. Thank you Kim!“

“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“

“This place has consistently great food and attentive service! The outdoor patio is a nice place for people watching as well. Stop in and try a "machete!"“

“The shop is adorable and has such a cozy atmosphere, it’s a great place to sit and get some work done.

The real highlight, though, is their chai. I’m a huge chai drinker, and their iced chai, the “Chai’d & True” is easily the best I’ve had in Madison. It’s always perfectly balanced and consistently delicious.

The food menu is pretty limited with a few pastries options and honestly they are hit or miss which is the only reason I can’t leave 5 stars. Overall, I’d absolutely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a cute coffee shop with excellent chai.“

“I would highly recommend their noodle dishes. I ordered the beef noodle and was really happy with it. My boyfriend ordered a rice bowl, at a noodle place, and was disappointed as you would expect. Great service and they placed us by the window which kept us entertained watching an array of different people walk by.“

“I can't explain how wonderful this place is. The staff are tea wizards and so knowledgeable. The products, tea and tea related, are high quality and creative. The drinks are divine, the vibes immaculate. Go here and spend a day with a pot of tea and then get a Boba to go.“

“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!“
