“always solid pizza, great crust!“

“Great food and service! Very friendly atmosphere.“

“We met friends who were from out of town for lunch at Buck & Honey's on Sunday. They had never been there, so with my wife and me having been there before and very much impressed, we suggested it. What an incredible atmosphere, superb food quality and service that is so rare these days. We sure had a very memorable time and dining experience and will be coming back again very soon. Our guests could not stop raving about this place also. A shot out to our waitress Aliyah for such an outstanding job taking care of us. You sure are excellent at what you do and we thank you sincerely!“

“Great authentic Mexican food. I had the steak fajitas burrito. It was delicious and huge. I also had a couple margaritas and they were excellent. We had a family of four, all adult meals, and some margaritas and price was better than expected for the size and quality of the meals and drinks.“

“We love the fish fry at Silver Eagle! The price is reasonable, always ready in 20 min or less and we love the beans, you get so much food!!“

“Me and my family stopped by a day ago. The customer service was amazing. If I remember correctly, our server’s name was Trinity. He was very kind to my grandma . Also, the food was delicious, our server recommended I try the strawberry burrata which was amazing. I would stop by again. Five stars.“

“It’s hard to make food a sexual experience but the Spicy Shrimp Po’ Boy f***** my face. Fuckin’ F**** a lot of places tone spice down for ‘general pop’ but this place gives it to you raw. If it says spicy it’s spicy but it also delivers a balance of flavor with heat. It was an explosion of awesome in my mouth. So, if you are looking to eat some delicious food while in Madison and need a foodgasm, visit Stadium Take Out you will have your mind blown.“

“Madison’s was great. Good food and cool atmosphere, but our server, Lilah was the real highlight. She was super on top of things, genuinely nice, and knew the menu inside and out without being pushy. Definitely recommend dropping in and asking for her section.“

“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. 💜“

“Best Chai latte I have ever had! Super spicy! 😭“

“I’ve been to RED several times, and it keeps me coming back. I really enjoy the modern atmosphere. The lighting, colors, and background music give it a relaxed lounge vibe without being too loud or distracting.

The service has always been excellent, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. The sashimi is fresh with a great selection of fish, and the presentation is beautiful. The miso soup was outstanding, and I always think that’s a good sign of a quality sushi restaurant.“

“I’ve been here about10x and have never been disappointed . Lots of yummy veganized options of classic meaty items“

“We had such a great experience! The service was fantastic, the cocktails were excellent and it was a great atmosphere!“

“Fantastic cozy bar. This was our first stop on a round of three different bars recently and was by far our favorite. The decor is somewhat sparse and reminiscent of an art gallery, but the lighting and fun amenities (arts & crafts, coffee table books, Thursday night free snacks) add to the charm. The drinks were unique and fresh and the service was good. I appreciated the offerings of N/A beverages that weren’t just soda on tap. I had a grapefruit Sage fizzy N/A drink and my spouse had a lovely gin mixed drink (gin, passion fruit, tea). Definitely will be back!“

“The best sandwiches I’ve found in madison. Chill atmosphere, incredible food. Probably the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. All I wanted today was a sandwich and couldn’t have prepared for the absolute beauty that was placed in front of me, quite quickly I might add. Check this place out or you’re absolutely missing out!“

“Great place for cocktails and entertainment.“

“Thank you Lily and Tip Top for hosting some weary travelers with amazing food and a dog friendly patio. We had the best food, and the patio was like an oasis, beautiful!“

“Love going to Mercies. The soup, egg salad sandwiches and smoothies are the best! I buy True Coffee Roasters coffee beans for home.“

“Haven promises to live up to it's name and rather more. In the midst of many, many new Asian restaurants on or near State Street, Haven stands out for having a warm, open, well-lit and tasteful atmosphere--including not only a few games but a well-chosen, literate bookshelf that welcomes you to linger. The tea selection finally brings us back to the long-lost day of Dobra tea, finally expanding the State Street area Asian dining experience beyond bag tea. The food is equal to these other successes. I had the braised beef noodle bowl. This was a generous, flavorful no-nonsense bowl with a goodly bone-n joint of beef in the midst of the other hearty chucks of meat. The broth and the noodles were up to the same generous, flavorful standard. I observed in passing that they seem to have the liquor selection they will need to fit in with State Street, though that isn't a reason why I stopped in. I will certainly be back.“

“Top notch atmosphere, great drinks, good food and snacks, dog friendly. Feels like a cabin in the northwoods. I want to decorate my basement to resemble the Muskellounge because it just has the perfect feel. A must stop whenever we are in town. Highly recommend this place.“

“Y'all.…. this place is out of this world!! Everything from the wine, appetizers, entrée desserts and coffee are just phenomenal!! Do not pass this place up! I love the line of this chef… The way the music goes, that’s the we dance! And that’s exactly what this place is all about. Everyone loves this place! Tony Bennet and famous athletes from all over - including Reggie Bush!“

“We held our welcome party at Delta Beer Lab the night before our wedding, and it exceeded our wildest expectations! The team at Delta was incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process and made the entire evening feel seamless. We also loved the wide variety of drinks available, which gave all of our guests plenty of great options.

A special thank you to Speedy and the entire staff for their outstanding hospitality. They went above and beyond to make our celebration a success. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to kick off our wedding weekend!“

“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!“

“the people, the food, the atmosphere.... the ultimate in a coffee shop experience!“

“Great menu options and our waiter Jim was one of nicest and attentive people. I will certainly be back.“

“The Kava is amazing. Great little place with games and books. Very relaxing, check it out!“

“Organic and extremely tasty beer. Wednesday pizza from Origin Breads was fantastic too!!“

“Chocolate Shoppe catered our wedding dessert and they were completely perfect! They bring a truck with about ten flavors including 1-2 DF flavors, and scoop into dishes or cones. The guests loved it on a hot, summer day, and it felt a lot more memorable than cake. They were super easy to work with in booking the event and the employee who worked our event was so kind. It was a huge hit and the ice cream was, of course, delicious! We would definitely book them again for a large event and would recommend them to friends.“

“This place has consistently great food and attentive service! The outdoor patio is a nice place for people watching as well. Stop in and try a "machete!"“

“El Grito stopped by my clinic to bring delicious tacos and cheer to our healthcare workers during this crazy time. The tacos we had were smaller, so you didn’t feel guilty eating all of them real quick. The flavor was awesome too! I highly recommend adding the mango habanero sauce, if you like that extra kick! I wish they were here all the time!“

“Love the charming European Grand Cafe vibes. An abundance of outdoor seating is available. Our server was very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks and food. One of the smoothest bloodys I have had. Food was absolutely delicious! What a great spot for brunch and enjoying a view of Madison.“

“Also amazing crepes! The coffee might be the best in Madison!“

“We tried this place for the first time, and as a boba tea lover, my wife and I both absolutely loved the flavor. The atmosphere inside is really nice, and even though we came late, we were welcomed warmly. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to have a good time.“

“Best bagels anywhere! Worth the trip.“

“Everything we tried here was delicious. I highly recommend this place!“

“Hands down one of my favorite coffee places!! Many drink options as well as pastries that are to die for! The customer service there is also top notch on making you feel welcomed and helping find the best drink for you! If you’re in a rush, order online ahead and start your day off amazing!!“

“Very good tasty food with a nice variety and presentation and atmosphere“

“This European style tavern is a classic throw back.
The bar itself has some of the best local, national and international beers served in town. And served in proper glassware.
The back bar is stocked with a wide and varied selection of high quality whiskies and spirits.
There is something here for everyone.
Whether you’re looking to meet up with folks or are seeking a drink while reading your current book, this place is for you.
Kudos to the team for bringing this to Madison and keeping it alive!“

“The best coffee, and more delicious mocha! I Love this place. Tracy is an excellent host!“

“Great GF beer. Deep flavors not found in most of the crap on the grocery store shelves.“

“Great food, great service, nice patio, and some really good beers. Dog friendly on the patio. Highly recommend.“

“Best burger I have had in LONG time. All the stars. Thank you!“

“We were in town for a show and swing in for their Tuesday chicken sandwich special. Probably one of the absolute best chicken sandwiches we’ve had. We planned on splitting a sandwich but after a minor mishap, chef ended up making us each a sandwich and my oh my it did not disappoint. Great service, fantastic craft cocktails and delicious food this place will be on our Madison list of places to frequent when in the area.“

“This place lives up to the hype! I didn't know bread could taste this good; I always thought of it as two boring things that hold a sandwich together. However, eating here... Just wow! It was delicious! The strawberry Turnover was incredible as well! Highly suggest checking this place out.“
