I don’t normally feel challenged by what I get when I ask for extra pickles, but today I felt challenged. My two friends and I each asked for extra pickles and we got what we asked for. The burgers were excellent, the fried food was hot and crisp, and the pickle basket was overflowing. We’ll be back!

The service was amazing. Our waitress was so friendly and fun, and the fish fry was absolutely delicious. Love this place and will definitely be coming back

Good food, but pretty disappointed in the waitress. My husband and I stopped in for dinner and I at first actually told him to tip really good. The waitress had been pretty nice at first and I was appreciative of that due to the fact I am a waitress myself. I was appreciative of that UNTIL she became suspiciously friendly with my husband. Offered him a free refill on his cocktail… “on the house” … but when I wanted a refill she said she’d “throw it on the tab” … she ended up charging my husband for his refill anyways. I hadn’t been appreciative of the fact she decided to wink at my husband when he went up to ask for my refill either. Then… we go to pay our tab and this waitress said “ you forgot the tip… 8 or 9 dollars would be nice but because I was such a good waitress I should get 10.” First off, as a waitress, in WHAT WAY??? is it right to say “ you forgot the tip “ so… my husband tips what he thought was right as he had already expressed being uncomfortable with the woman’s demeanor towards him… leaving her $4.00. She proceeded to come over to us and say “oh, only four dollars? Is that all the money you have?” This was an absolute turn away for me. Then when she left she said “ well damn, should’ve brought more.” And proceeded to rub my husbands arm IN FRONT OF ME. I was absolutely disgusted and this made the experience unforgettable in a negative way. This happened on Saturday, May 24, 2025 around 10 pm… slices… maybe choose better, respectful staff.

Slices was once again and as always great with fast and always friendly service you always feel welcome and the food was great as usual. Whether it's Friday night fish fry or any other day of the week you can't go wrong choosing Slices.

This little bar is tucked away in an unassuming area and doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, a friendly staff, plenty of entertainment, cheap drinks and great food. Tried their fish fry Friday night and was blown away by the portions of perch vs the price. Flaky fish, light breading, perfectly fried, it was delicious! Old Fashioneds were spot on.

Enjoyed the fact they have a breathalyzer so you can scientifically check how inebriated you are.

It was crowded and there is not a lot of space so get there early.

Went at lunchtime, busy, but not packed. Bartender very friendly and helpful. Food was quickly served and to requested doneness.Food was excellent. Atmosphere subdued with mellow music playing. Drawback: room temperature a bit chilly. I am currently in a wheelchair and Slices met my needs beautifully.

Thank you Slices for a great experience.

Could not ask for a more hometown Wisconsin bar. Everybody is super nice super friendly. First time I went I had three people I’ve never met say hello to me and asked me how my day is going.

I'm an absolute burger snob, so when people rave about a good burger, I'm often disappointed.

Slice's burger did not disappoint. The quality of the meat was really good and fresh, not like a frozen grocery store patty. Very juicy and full of flavor. My kid loved his food, too. Looking forward to trying the fish fry next!

I recently moved (back) to the east side and was looking for a place to get a burger and drinks on a Tuesday night. I'd never heard of this place before but figured I'd give it a shot. What. A. Gem.

Little did I know that the 2nd Tuesday of every month is Drag Bingo - the place was PACKED and everyone had a blast. I literally brought my wife back 2 days later to make the case for Slices to be in our regular bar rotation - she's sold.

The prices are almost comically low for the isthmus. Craft taps (decent selection) are $5 and the food is super reasonably priced. The burger meat is from Jenny Street Market and is A+ - one of the best bar burgers I've had in Madison.

It's a dive for sure, if you enjoy a good dive bar then this is the spot for you.
