“Bartenders were really busy but still very attentive. All of our food choices were really good. We ordered chicken nachos, jalapeno poppers, Reuben bites and chicken wings.Bathrooms were clean and temperature of the bar was nice and warm on a day that was below zero outside.“
“This was a new place for us and we liked the Friday Fish Fry. It was very good and the options were endless. We had takeout and ordering was so easy. The meal was ready on time. The parking lot was full, but I was able to street park a block away. We will be back.“
“Tanners is close to my office, so I've been going for years. The old location was so dark, it made it feel like a dive.The new location is where Quaker Steak and Lube used to be. Much more open. Brighter. It's good to see this building filled with people.Prices are super reasonable. Service was pretty good, even during a Packers game that had the place stuffed full.Parking: Huge parking lot. Always spots available“
“It was my first time eating at Blue Moon. I should’ve gotten a burger but I ended up getting the California Rueben with waffle fries. Both were very good! I will need to try a burger next time. We went for lunch on Fish Fry Friday, which was obviously pretty busy. Place was packed!“
“This place has wonderful food and great drinks. Service was reasonably prompt and pleasant, food was delicious, drinks equally great. My only downside is expectations. When your times state 10:30 close, I expect 10:30 close. Instead, at 9:50 our table was told “We’re closing, but no rush, are you ready for the check?” This indeed insinuates that we should head out now. 40 min earlier than the advertised close. While finishing our drinks, all table’s chairs were being placed on the tables, a clear indication of closing. All tables chairs were on the tables except ours by 10pm. I totally understand a slow night, but as a manger, one should set expectations for customers regardless of current customer level. Instead they should set time for 10pm if this indeed is their existing typical closing time. Set a time, and stick to it. Again, food was delicious, from burger to cheese curds, it was all great. Please reevaluate your timings to align with your expectations. Nonetheless, thank you for the evening.“
“Really good atmosphere, super kind staff. The jam pretzel burger special was fire. Square cheese curds, strange shape, very tasty. I would definitely come back to this spot. They served an adequately liquored up drink and did it with a smile. I may have found my new "local" as they say out in the Midwest. ALL good here.“
“Oakcrest is exactly what Oakcrest wants to be, and that is absolutely amazing. My wife and I come here for Tuesday dates while the kids are in school, and we've never had a bad experience. I can't recommend this place enough. Best burger in Madison!“

“Love this place. It's totally unassuming. You'd think it was just a dive bar on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere...but it's much more. Fantastic food and great supper club atmosphere. Really, really nice patio. A must visit!!“
“A bit dissapointed that we couldn't get our favorite brisket mac and cheese this visit but understand brisket leaves the biscuit occasionally. Still enjoyed the atmosphere, mushroom Swiss burger, club sandwich and a regular Hamburger,Pitcher of strawberry lemonade made the date.Love the decor, want to buy a few photos for sure.“
“Everything about Tipsy Cow is amazing! The food, service, and atmosphere is wonderful! We got the goat cheese curds and OMG they were so delicious! And my family all got the cheeseburger, it was so delicious as well! All the food tasted so fresh, especially the cheddar on the burger. They have a bar, and a dining room. We sat in the dining room, and it had a lovely cozy vibe. Our server was very nice, and we got our food very quickly! We’ll definitely be coming here next time we’re visiting Madison! Highly recommend!!Kid-friendliness: They have a dining room, as well as a kids menu, with a great burger!“
“New to the area we found this restaurant on yelp. We went for a hamburger and were very happy to have stumbled across a delicious meal, welcoming atmosphere, and additional entertainment with bingo. We will be back for both the food and bingo.“
“I had the boom boom shrimp wrap. It was fantastic. It even had a little kick to it, which I really appreciated. The onion rings I had as my side were mediocre. Very little onion in them. I liked the small nook with only a couple of tables. It separated the bar scene so that my group could converse and enjoy our meal. Our server has a tendency to say things as she was walking away, which made it impossible to catch everything. The food was brought out promptly. Our server checked on us a few times.Vegetarian options: They had a black bean veggie burger along with several vegetarian appetizers.Parking: The parking lot is not accessed from Seminole.“
“Went for a bit to watch the basketball game. Without the patio being open it was quite full and limited seating. The turkey blt was good and the onion rings were great! The pizza here is really good as well! Service was attentive and quick. It was pretty loud with the TV's and people talking/yelling.“
“We stayed at the Indigo on 3/28/24 and absolutely loved the service. We stayed in the bar area (7pm) and the bartender was excellent, made us an amazing Wisconsin Old Fashion Sour, excellent professional and very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and quickly served. We casually mentioned that my wife's birthday was the day before and the manager I assume, ( very friendly and professional, bald gentleman) brought us a Keylime pie out of nowhere! She was extremely happy. You guys rock, thank you so much and we have been here before and continue to stay here because of the amazing service. Both at the restaurant and at the hotel, hotel staff is also very friendly and even gave our dog a doggie biscuit. This is our all time favorite place to stay whenever we are in Madison. Thank you guys! Never change, you are the best. -Cris and Nikki“
“I suppose I should state that hipster stuff annoys me a bit, so yeah... probably should take my review with a grain of salt.None the less, I've had the Bob's Bad Breath burger several times here. Wasn't the greatest this past time. Dry. Not super flavorful.Salad was really good.Staff was doing exactly what they do. Being hipsters, but serving food with a smile and helpful.“
“The food there is always outstanding, especially the jalapeño wontons! Usually the staff is friendly and helpful, I would say the dark-haired female bartender was the one-off; seemed like she hated her life, job or maybe both.Parking: Plenty of parking in the parking lot but street parking is also available where this establishment is located.Kid-friendliness: They have an area away from the bar for families with or without kiddos!“
“First experienced the Rigby for Drag Bingo this month and had a blast! Pretty reasonable prices for a place in the capitol area. The french fries are unmatched and the employees were super friendly! We met the manager as well, who made a point to come up and introduce ourselves since she didn’t recognize us.We’ll definitely be back for more of their many events in the future!“
“It was super crowded (always is on a Friday night), but that is because they're so popular! The food was delicious, and the wait staff was all really friendly.Kid-friendliness: The food was quick to arrive even on their busiest night which I really appreciated with kids in tow.“
“This was a great sports bar to watch the Packers game, drink some beer and have food. The bartender was fast and he was always aware of the customers. The food was great also! Highly recommend the Hawk’s burger and cheese curds. Overall was a great experience for my first time to Madison!“
“Visited during a Wisconsin basketball game. Great drink specials, cheese curds and service. Atmosphere for watching the game was great, plenty of TV's and lots of cheering. Highly recommend the homemade tomato bisque, it's comfort in a cup.“
“Lots has already been said about this place, but a couple things that I haven't seen as much--1. It is very dark in the dining room and the bulbs are pink/red. Like, I wanted a good look at my burger after I cut it in half to check out the toppings, and I had to turn on my phone's flashlight.2. The menu says that all burgers are cooked to medium unless specified otherwise, but mine arrived with no pink.3. There aren't any seating options that aren't barrel style chairs or booths. The barstools are the same as the chairs, just higher.It's good! I'll go back when I'm in the neighborhood at an off peak time.“
“This is a fairly large bar with 18 seats, and 12 tables, located in the Edgewater Hotel. It's sister restaurant, the Statehouse, is a high end eatery with fabulous views of Lake Mendota.Augie's was named after long time owner of the hotel, who was jovial and friendly with patrons. I found this spot, certainly the bar, still seating talkative and genuine friendly folks.We came here on Thanksgiving Day, and enjoyed local brews (Spotted Cow) and a tasty Bloody Mary. PIC had the turkey dinner, and at $26, was a big MEH. It was all dark meat that was fatty, semi-good mashed potatoes and dressing and sprouts. Pumpkin pie was likely frozen. However, I had their Augie's burger, and at $18, it was a steal!! Two smashed patties, smokey strips of bacon, cheese, lettuce, REAL tomato, onions and drippy-but-yum aioli and crispy hand cut fries- I finished that baby off with pleasure!Patrons at the bar included locals and hotel guests, who clued us in to their Friday fish fry. Unfortunately, it was Thursday, so no dice. But... the fry includes marble rye, coleslaw, fries, tartar sauce, and cod for $18. And, there's a kid-size fish fry for $9. (I think they also have perch, for an up charge.)Both bartenders were very kind and efficient, especially for having to work on a holiday.There is free street parking a block away, or underground parking for a charge.Augie's is two blocks from the Capitol Building, and has large picture windows, looking out into the neighborhood. The upscale Statehouse restaurant is adjacent, with water views, but if you are looking for something more casual, Augie's is the spot!Side note... they had Clock Shadow fried cheese curds and eight different beers, all from WI local businesses.“
“Once you stumble into this hole in the all...you may never return. There is a diamond so bright in this place. Your shoes might stick a bit to the floor but embrace the vibe. They have some awesome ambiance and sling drinks even the stiffest of barflys will live!“
“A buddy and I were passing through while headed to a Twins-Cubs game in MSP via Wisconsin Dells. We had wanted to eat in Madison around the college but it was graduation weekend and everything was booked and had huge waits. So we ended up here. I am so glad we did! My buddy had the fish fry and I had a burger. He said the fish was outstanding and my burger was on the best I have had in years. I wish this place was closer to home!“
