The place hasn't changed- which is wonderful. The plaza burger with cheese never disappoints. And service is always fast and friendly.

I first went to The Plaza in 1968. It was a go-to place throughout my college years. Just went back for the first time in decades. I'm pleased that except for the flat screen TVs it looks pretty much the same as it did then. The Plaza Burger is still outstanding and the french fries excellent. Broad selection of beers with many from Wisconsin. I introduced a friend from Cleveland to it last week and she loves it too. Next time I'm in Madison I'll be back!

Plaza burgers are the best! The plaza sauce and the pickles are what make them so tasty! A downtown Madison must stop.

I've been going to the Plaza since I was a little kid. The Plaza burger is my favorite burger in the entire world. It is elegantly simple. Every time I go back to Madison, I stop here for two burgers.

amazing atmosphere and service! They clearly train their employees well, unlike other establishments (i.e. @DannysPub)

What a classic bar love to have a beer and burger with old college friends when I'm in town.

It's a dive, but man is it chill. Quick service, decent food and good drinks on tap. Have cash on hand they don't take cards. There is an atm though. ghostbusters pinball and Billy Madison was playing on the big screen. If you're an introvert like me, you'll love this place.

This was my favorite bar that I visited in Madison. I love that at the older, divey-er bars in Madison, the bartender not only make your drinks, they make your food too (I hope the bartenders like this too and are paid accordingly considering they're basically doing 2 jobs).Plaza has a pretty simple bar food menu that was cheaper than some of the other bars in the area. The Plazaburger is reeeeeally good. Get it topped with griddle fried onions. And of course, you gotta get the cheese curds.Drinks are cheap here. $4 dollars for a rail drink, even at nighttime!There are darts and 2 pool tables. Pool is $2/game.The staff here is ok. There were a couple people working there that seemed like they had a chip on their shoulders.

Best burgers and bar food! So yummy. Great dive bar and fun atmosphere at night. My mom went there in college in the 1970s and I went through college in 2010s, now we love going together!!

$3 dollar craft beers on Thursdays... Get them all, drink all the beers, you won't break the bank!
The plaza burger is a good cheap burger. Think gourmet McDonald's

It has been a number of years since I had a plaza burger and I was looking forward to another one but I was disappointed. Much smaller burger now. Sauce was still good but topping they charge extra.
