17 Best American Restaurants in Sun Prairie

“First time dining here. Great food and atmosphere. On a side note… To a beautiful lady. You were the beautiful woman dining—maybe with your mom—at “a restaurant by the river”. We locked eyes, shared a smile, and you held the door for me as we walked out. I wanted to introduce myself but got a little nervous. When you turned around after walking away, I knew I missed my chance. If you see this, I’d love a second one.“

“I would like to give a huge shout out to Varsity Bar and Grill! We kicked off Rachel's 40th Birthday Party at Varsity on Saturday. The food was oh so delicious, the service over the top exceptional, friendly and welcoming. Varsity is everything you could ask for in a small town bar and grill. Thank you to Tony, Ben, Lyle, Jeff and all at Varsity who helped make the party a success! We'll be back!!!“

“The food is always great but the service and warm welcome we get from our server Shana is what keeps us coming back all the time“

“The chicken and potatoes were delicious! The salad bar is amazing! Pizza is awesome and dessert cookie pizza is delicious!! Pizza ranch certainly is “all that” and then some“

“We love bringing out of town friends to Sal's. We had the Valentine's menu and it was the best food we've had in years! Tameka was amazing and the food came out so quick. Clean plates all day!“

“Visited Monks on Father's day great food a special mention of a young man Maddox, a hostess. He was respectful and friendly and it was a very enjoyable time“

“Culver’s in Sun Prairie is a dependable place for a good meal or dessert. The restaurant is kept very clean and well organized, with plenty of seating inside and outside. Ordering is simple, the menu is clearly displayed, and the line moves quickly even during busy times. The staff here are consistently friendly and professional, greeting guests with a smile and making sure orders are right the first time. Whether you are coming through the drive-thru, ordering to go, or dining in, the service is quick without feeling rushed.

The food quality is always excellent. The ButterBurgers are hot, juicy, and full of flavor, cooked to order with toppings that are always fresh. The fries are crisp and golden, and the cheese curds are a Wisconsin favorite done right. The frozen custard is rich, creamy, and never disappointing, with flavors changing daily and the option to create your own combinations with mix-ins as a concrete mixer. Everything tastes freshly prepared and made with care, which is why it stands out from typical fast food.

This location is convenient for both residents and travelers passing through. Parking is easy, the dining area feels comfortable, and the staff keep the space clean and welcoming from open to close. It is a reliable stop when you want a meal that is made well, served with genuine hospitality, and consistent every time. Whether you are here for lunch, dinner, or just a frozen custard treat, Culver’s in Sun Prairie always delivers a great experience.“

“First time eating here and have to leave a review. We waited about 35 minutes since it was busy, but it was worth the wait! We ordered the pretzel with beer cheese and mustard, the beer cheese had a nice kick to it. Also ordered a single smash burger which was one of the best I’ve had and bun was really moist. Got the shroomer pizza to share and although it was thin it was still stretchy and very good, no complaints! We will be back“

“What a great little hidden gem! Great drinks, gourmet food, amazing staff and we even got to meet the owner, Steve! Very friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!“

“Culver's. We enjoy it. It's fast. More clean than a fast food place... Even though it's technically fast food as well. This place was generally the same.

Temp was set a bit cool for mid May. But if that's our biggest beef, they did a pretty good job“

“the best chicken wings around . period. mmmmmmm“

“Went for breakfast at Gus’s diner while in town for a dance competition. Cute oldies diner vibe, clean environment. Prompt service and friendly staff. Food was delicious. Freshly squeezed orange juice was very good. Would love to go back for lunch or dinner or maybe just dessert because the pies and cakes in their dessert case looked amazing!!“

“Came for the first time for a purse bingo- the owner, Tom, was extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar staff were super attentive and very friendly. It was a fun night out that was reasonably priced, good food and good people“

“The chicken and potatoes were delicious! The salad bar is amazing! Pizza is awesome and dessert cookie pizza is delicious!! Pizza ranch certainly is “all that” and then some“

“I am not a huge Mac and cheese fan, but wanted to try this place. Wow- it was so yummy! I had the chicken bacon ranch and it was delicious! I will definitely eat here again!!“

“I want to start this review saying that I sure hope the manager that's Not Steven doesn't treat the employees like he treated us. We were headed to our hotel when other hockey team members called and said they were headed to Nitty-gritty to eat. We had seen the ads at the hockey rink and turned around and were the first ones there. I walked in and Not Steven asked how many. I explained I thought about 20-25 from our team were coming. He told us that he could not accommodate all of us in one area, that he had several teams coming in that had set reservations. He told us we should have made reservations months ago and made us feel like a complete inconvenience. I had never been to Sun Prairie and wouldn't have any idea of that. We waited for our friends and eventually Steven moved us together, after Not Steven seemed to go out of his way to spread us across the whole building. I'm so glad that we did not just leave due to the way we were treated by Not Steven. Our server was Joe I believe. He was attentive and polite and did a wonderful job. Honestly all the other staff seemed happy to be there and seemed to enjoy working there. The food was fast, tasted wonderful, and was very well put together. We ordered a few different things. The nachos had great ground meat that wasn't greasy gross. The flatbread was well made. Everything else was great also. The price for the plate size was good also. It's a shame that my first and lasting impression is of how inconvenient we were to Not Steven. I do want to note that, while we were there, I never saw any part of any of the other teams there. There did seem to be a small gathering of adults at one time but no other teams. I truly hope the manager doesn't treat his amazing team the way he treated new customers. Also, Steven was wonderful and was very welcoming.“
