“My husband and I ate here for our fifth year wedding anniversary. It was absolutely perfect. We sat at the bar which gave us an amazing view of the kitchen. The service was impeccable. The food and drinks were sublime. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in Madison. We will definitely return!“

“Classic must try pizzeria. Absolutely delicious, they come up with great pie ideas and they are ALL hits. Their service is impeccable and their excellent cocktails give the experience the cherry on top . To add to that the prices are super reasonable. Great atmosphere, can't recommend this enough. It's become a go to return spot over the years, wether I go for a nice dinner with my partner, or getting "fancy" pizza and drinks with friends, this is the place to go.“

“First time visiting Paul’s and it was fantastic! We were a bit hesitant about what we were getting and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We ordered at the small food counter and then found ourselves a table in the bar area. We ordered their two cocktails and the bartender made them perfectly. A yummy meal that we will definitely eat again!“

“Hearty farm to table food at a reasonable price. Great tavern atmosphere that got loud and lively after 7pm. While the menu is tilted towards pork and charcuterie there are plenty of vegetarian options. Menu was very seasonal, so we
Loved that.
Portions were huge, in my opinion, for the price. (Compared to hometown Portland, ME)
We split the bouillabaisse and a salad and it still seemed like the portions were large. Big wine list. Did not try cocktails but they looked creative and colorful. This spot will certainly be on the list when we return to Madison.“

“Our new favorite spot in Madison for a good kick of spice from the octopus and Calabrian chiles on the arugula ricotta pizza. The pizza is light and thin. We also enjoyed the beef carpaccio. But for me, the highlight was the ginger cake. Freshly baked (warm on the inside) with whipped cream and pistachios. Flavors are spot on, not too sweet, not too spicy, just right. We also had the risotto which was delicious and comforting - also perfectly cooked al dente.“

“I have now eaten here 3 times and appreciated the food every time. What stands out beyond very tasty food is their attention to detail and service. We ordered a gluten free entree and added mushrooms (marinated so not gluten free) - they labeled the dish identifying what was gluten free and what wasn’t and just in case packaged the mushrooms separately.
I called multiple times with questions and they were always kind, patient, and provided genuine recommendations and insights. It is a pet peeve of mine when restaurants/servers don’t feel comfortable providing an opinion.
I would highly recommend. Also, my two children tried three different items and provided their approval as well (not a typical experience as of late).
Addendum 7/10/2025
I ate here with friends and tried the Dan Dan noodles. It was spectacular with so much flavor, spice, and not to make a dad joke out of it but what I imagine is the taste umami. I will be returning for this dish. The rest of the food and drinks remained excellent.“

“Good drinks menu but the food was so-so. Flavors unremarkable. No information on the menu for those who are lactose or gluten intolerant which is easy to flag on menus these days. And the random delivery of small plates, which was to be expected, could have been a little bit more even for our table of four. And worth letting us know, when we order, which dishes might take quite a bit longer to prepare and deliver. Nice ambiance and good lighting. 3/5.“

“I got the banh mi, and it was delicious. The tofu in it was really nicely prepared — it had a great chew and beautiful golden sear. The mushroom pate was also great! I got the fries with it, and those were delicious and perfectly salted. And it was a great amount of food, especially for the price! The staff I encountered were also so very friendly and super helpful. I’d come here all the time if I lived here. There’s so much variety on the menu too!“

“Been going for years and now take my toddler once a week. I love walking in, everyone knowing us, sometimes getting our regular table (if we're early enough) and chatting with some of the other regulars. Prices are great, you get a ton of food and the staff is always friendly. Extra bonus they open early for my early riser toddler!!“

“Dined here for lunch today and loved the vegan options! Menu is clearly marked so we didn’t have to modify anything, which was highly refreshing. Shout out to Living on the Veg sushi set and the crunch salad, both solid choices. Bright and welcoming interior, with equally welcoming staff! We will be back again and again. Take no shiitake🍄“

“I love this place, I love to sit at the counter when I go Ogdens for breakfast. As a person who loves engaging in conversation with others, I take great joy in striking up a conversation with a total stranger, and only to discover we’re not strangers, we are friends who have met for the first time. The staff are amazing, super attentive and kind. Oh and the food, that’s amazing too. Ogdens, a neighborhood Gem on the near north side.“

“You can choose the unlimited refill option or order individually. If you choose unlimited refills, you can order sushi, sashimi, rolls, etc. until you are full. The sushi and sashimi aren't very large, but the taste is good. Recommended for anyone who can eat a lot. The service was also friendly.
I ordered hibachi and ramen separately for lunch and it was great value for money. Contrary to my concerns, Hibachi was able to eat a generous amount of fairly tender beef. The ramen was a little different from what I expected, with a spicy Nagasaki Jjamppong-like taste, but I enjoyed it in its own way. Considering the price, I think this is pretty great.“

“This cafe has many delicious options for food. It however does not have celiac safe options. The cross contamination is too high. They do note this if you call them by stating that they can't guarantee there isn't. But I would not eat here if you have celiacs because I did twice and it made me incredibly sick. Again the food in my opinion is delicious, it just isn't celiacs safe.“

“I want to give a shout-out to Monona Bakery & Eatery 😄 I've ordered their food a lot via delivery apps, but never went inside. My friend Robin & I stopped in on Saturday! I've been on crutches 6 weeks, and they were VERY accommodating 😊 All the staff were amazing, and their food is SO good 🤤 I highly recommended checking them out! As someone who bakes quite a bit, I must say their bakery is 🤌😍👌“

“Badger Tavern has really stepped up its game under the new ownership. Clay has perhaps the best work ethic I’ve ever witnessed. The food is consistently excellent, and you’re guaranteed a good time every time. The staff is stellar too, fun, friendly, and hardworking. Badger Tavern is now my go-to place for a ‘sure thing’! 5 Stars“

“This place is such a hidden little gem. The food is always fantastic, the folks working there are always amazing. There is usually a wait so expect it, it will be worth it. You nuke me every single time with the medium spice level and I love it.“
“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. 💜“

“I wish I had taken this photos of the food before I dug in. Delicious chilequiles, and even better ranchos huervos. The food is extremely fresh and flavorful. It's a unique take on something I've seen in every form, but they get it right with little surprises in every bite. Do yourself a favor and get the orange juice. The fresh sweetness really helps stabilize the slight spice and heaviness of the food.“

“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!“

“Pretty decent spot for an intro to some Vietnamese dishes.
Sometimes the Pho can be the best in town. Sometimes it's not as great.
The owner/family that run and service the restaurant are fantastic. Always a pleasure to interact with and they take their business seriously. Other servers are just okay, nothing to complain about really.
Wish the place had a bit more space, because it can get busy at certain times.“

“Pros: Bagels taste great, service was quick, staff was nice. I also found the price to be on the cheap side which offsets the biggest con-
Cons: the bagels are definitely small. Also, no cheese bagel option. This is Wisconsin- I feel like offering a cheese bagel should be required.“
