Listen so every time I come in here, I have some of the best service from the guy with the porn mustache. Yeah, OK He makes the best drinks and the food here the chicken wings are probably the best in town. This is one of the best neighborhood bars in this area and I’m so happy this place exists!!!

Food was mid, burger was not anything special and fries sucked the person I was with got the wings and he thought they were extremely good (I did not try) drinks were quite expensive but we were going to a concert right next door so not sure if that’s the price all the time. The server was very nice and helpful and helped us with the venue that was next door for a concert but service did take forever even though it was quite dead inside.

Excellent family run restaurant. Good food choices and, of course, beer and cheese curds always available.

LJs has been my go-to sports bar in Madison. It offers a great layout for watching all the screens, and they always turn on the sound for major games. However, it sometimes can get a bit too loud with the volume, making it hard to have a conversation without raising your voice. It's also a great spot to grab a drink before or after a show or a Madison Forward game. The tap beer prices are reasonable for downtown, and they have a nice variety of choices. The food menu is solid for a bar setting. Lately, though I've noticed that they seem to have a stretched-thin staff, which is unfortunate because they are diligent and always make an effort to acknowledge customers. During my recent visit on a date I wanted to see some of the NFL draft & my guy was more interested in a particular NBA playoff game that was in network. Several screens were playing a repeat of a Brewer’s game which I knew they lost earlier in the afternoon. Boo lol ;-) We politely asked a couple staggered times if one of the screens could be changed, but it didn't go well. In hindsight, we probably should have closed out after the drink and gone elsewhere, as it turned into a frustrating evening. I felt disappointed because more than often the reason one goes to a sports bar is to watch a game. It was to be a win-win. My guy & I could both watch our events. If they’re facing staffing challenges, they should consider having a better system in place to manage the TV setup in advance. I will return to LJs, but I'm not in a rush hoping they’ll take feedback into consideration. It makes a huge difference when the staff feels supported by their management so I am trying to be understanding from bartenders perspective too. I just don’t want to have another bad date. ;-)
Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. Able to get a great table by the window right away!
Great service, food was really good - Ruben and Fish Tacos.
Met the owner, found out he graduated from the same High School that my Spouse and I attended also. Also, knew a lot of the same people!

It was extremely busy our food was good and service was excellent. Tim who I assume is the general manager was extremely efficient serving drinks to a full bar without any assistance and also serving food, we took note of how nobody was waiting for service because he was on it.
Cool place with friendly bar staff
