Restaurants near Burke

“Best Popeyes food I've had, period! The cooks took pride in their cooking and it showed. Chicken was crispy and oh so juicy!!
The young lady behind the counter on the other hand, could learn better customer service. I might just be old school but I believe in greeting customers, taking their orders, asking them if there's anything else they'd want, and giving them their total. Not 1 word came out of this young womans mouth. It makes for an uncomfortable interaction. The eye rolls didn't help much either.
Other than that .... great place, fantastic fried chicken and sides.”

“First time visiting this amazing restaurant definitely not the last. Love the beautiful warm brick, lighting, everything. Perfect atmosphere. We planned to go out to eat for a nice meal before seeing Hamilton, but never imagined that the meal would eclipse the Broadway show! Everything from the bread and French onion soup to the amazing salmon and steak and appetizers was beyond outstanding. The service was wonderful. The other patrons were so kind and Everything was perfect.”

“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.”

“We were in town for a concert and stopped here on our way back home. The food and service were top notch! Very fresh tasting food and amazing coffee!! It was a happy accident we ended here from a random apple map search. So glad we stumbled upon them!”

“I got the 10” Go Go Gochu which was delicious and inventive. Can’t go wrong with any pizza here. Broken cannoli is delicious too. 10” is a good size for one person IMO”

“We always love visiting Madison's when we're here to see our favorite Badger! The staff is always so pleasent and overly accommodating!! Highly recommend for a bite to eat.”

“I’ve been to RED several times, and it keeps me coming back. I really enjoy the modern atmosphere. The lighting, colors, and background music give it a relaxed lounge vibe without being too loud or distracting.

The service has always been excellent, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. The sashimi is fresh with a great selection of fish, and the presentation is beautiful. The miso soup was outstanding, and I always think that’s a good sign of a quality sushi restaurant.”

“I order from Jacknife regularly and it is quick well priced and very tasty sushi, the staff there is always pleasant smiling and accommodating and that’s part of why I keep coming back. Glad they are so close and convenient to me!”

“TL;DR: Staff was awesome and so was the food, but the atmosphere was loud, and 1 of the 4 dishes I had was more miss than hit.

From the top:

Making and modifying my reservation online was super easy and straightforward. In fact, I chose this place over another recommendation from a local simply because I could make my reservation online.

The hostess was super friendly and welcoming, so right off the bat I felt at home. I had reserved a table, but since I was alone, I decided to sit at the bar.

The guys behind the bar were some of the most attentive and professional I’ve seen in the industry (I spent the first 8 years of my career working in hospitality). Big shout-out to Foster, Matt, and Chris!! Each was better than the last and made sure I always had anything I needed, which is impressive considering the bar and restaurant were packed for a while—it was a Saturday night.

The drinks felt generous and reasonably priced. I’ll admit I had more than a couple 😋

The food was great overall, with a few BUTS.

At times, it felt a little pretentious. I had 4 different dishes, and 3/4 tasted great, but some still gave me the impression that they were just trying to do too much. Simple things can be delicious too, and not everything needs to reinvent the wheel.

Ironically, my favorite dish happened to be the simplest. I would highly recommend the chef’s special double smash burger, which they serve until late. It was easily the crown jewel of the evening.

I did have the misfortune of trying the pork belly first. While the fat was well rendered, the meat itself was completely dried out. At the time I thought maybe it was just me, but I spent about 3 hours here, and at one point the person next to me ordered the same dish and wasn’t impressed either.

After that first dish, I was ready to dock a star on the food, especially since this isn’t exactly an “affordable” restaurant. But they turned it around with every dish afterward.

I do think it’s important to consider the people who won’t be here for hours trying multiple dishes. If the pork belly had been the only dish I ordered, I can’t imagine I would’ve walked out happy with the experience.

That being said, everything that came out afterward got better and better, with the double smash burger being the crown jewel of the evening. I’m glad I ended up staying and trying more dishes!!

Overall, I had an awesome experience. They have wonderful staff in the front of house, a beautiful venue, great drinks, and—if you stick to the basics—delicious food!

One last note: it was loud. Like, need-to-yell-at-each-other loud. It didn’t bother me personally, but I could see it being an annoyance for anyone trying to have a conversation, especially in a group larger than two.”

“Our waitress was really friendly and nice. She gave us recommendations and told us about the restaurant history.”

“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!”

“We love bringing out of town friends to Sal's. We had the Valentine's menu and it was the best food we've had in years! Tameka was amazing and the food came out so quick. Clean plates all day!”

“We ate here last year for Valentine’s Day! Amazing ambiance and food. Highly recommended to all 10 out of 10 stars”

“Fantastic cozy bar. This was our first stop on a round of three different bars recently and was by far our favorite. The decor is somewhat sparse and reminiscent of an art gallery, but the lighting and fun amenities (arts & crafts, coffee table books, Thursday night free snacks) add to the charm. The drinks were unique and fresh and the service was good. I appreciated the offerings of N/A beverages that weren’t just soda on tap. I had a grapefruit Sage fizzy N/A drink and my spouse had a lovely gin mixed drink (gin, passion fruit, tea). Definitely will be back!”

“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.”

“fine dining on Williamson St close to the bike path and all the vibrant nature of Williamson St”

“I have to say this food cart is top notch, tasty fresh summer rolls and cool smoothies. Whenever we are in the Madison area we have to have these rolls. Love it and highly recommend it.”

“Best Chai latte I have ever had! Super spicy! 😭”

“Taj Indian Cuisine & Bar was a "breath of fresh air" in fine dining. The food was just absolutely delicious. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was modern and fun. I highly recommend Taj Indian Cuisine & Bar for a wonderful meal!!!”

“Stopped in with some friends last Friday. Food was excellent. The wife and I tried the brisket, pulled pork and sausage. All were very tasty. The sauces I think 7 were all great. Service was friendly.”

“If I could give it 6 stars I would. Probably the best sushi i ever had. If I had one wish it would be that they had a liquor license. But I'm willing to skip the booze for sushi this good. Amazing. The number of Japanese customers was a testament that it was legit too.”

“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.”

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

“Victoria and the team were extremely kind and explained every cookie it was my little ones first time!!!!
Truly appreciated and highly recommend recommended for delicious sweet treat cravings!!!!!’”

“Great experience…everything from the ambiance to the waitstaff to the drinks, appetizers, entree, desserts and coffee were amazing!”

“One of my favorite pizza restaurants around. Try the Macho Nacho!”

“I got the cinnamon roll was very tasty! But if looking for croissants I’d recommend going after 10 am I was really looking forward to it but after waiting still wasn’t available and was told about 30 mins when I got there ! But it’s a very quiet place for those who want coffee, good grilled cheese as I overheard costumers talking about how good their sandwich was!”

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

“This restaurant's best offerings are their American style maki sushi exploding with all kinds of fillings and toppings. The appetizers and other offerings are pretty basic. The nigiri was disappointing but as expected for this part of the country. The cocktail menu is interesting, but I haven't sampled much from it yet. The new decor is kitschy and over the top, but it imparts a fun, casual vibe if you just kind of relax and enjoy it. Some of the sushi plates had little orchid / flower sprays on them that were quite visually appealing.”

“Service during happy hour was perfect. Loved Kate❤️”
