Great burgers here, even though I'm not a huge fan of pretzel rolls. Can be pretty loud, but otherwise it's a great casual place with an extensive selection.

Local hang out in Madison- big college scene- loud but trendy and great atmosphere - dont go there for the wine though ;)

Prices are a little high for the quality, good burgers. Beer list needs more locals but it is large. Fun for a late night drink and snack, gets loud and busy with the college nearby.

Love happy hour. Disco fries are my favorite. Margaritas are amazing! Friendly staff and fast service. 🙂

According to my Aunt & Uncle, the wine palette here is painstakingly limited and unsophisticated...otherwise, great Lobster Bisque and VERY friendly servers & seating hosts/hostesses :-)

Not on the menu, but ask for the onion rings. Thicker than anyone else's so far and darn good. Spare ribs and salmon worth a shot too.

Came here on a Thursday afternoon. Food was amazing (amen for the waverly burger)...downside waitress spent more time talking to the other wait staff than waiting on our table...

Thursday is prime rib night and the prime rib is awesome... Comes with a baked potato, creamed corn, and spinach. The wings are really good too

That french dip braised short rib sandwich they have was literally the greatest thing I've ever had. AND it comes with Parmesan fries.

Used to love the San Francisco tacos. The fish was fried nicely with a mango salsa and cabbage. Delicious! But they are gone now.

Anything from their Happy Hour menu is good, but the hummus could easily make a meal for two.

I LOVE the paloma. Order off of the appetizer menu and share! Hummus platter is enough to feed an army.

Good food. Slightly overpriced but there's an Xcelerator in the men's room so it's got that going for it.

Burger is over priced and overcooked. Omelette was tiny and over priced. Definitely not coming back.
