Ryan PackardJuly 3, 2014These. Folks. Love. Burgers. I usually get a double AJ Burger. Definitely write your name on the wall with a sharpie! Try the Buffalo Chicken Egg rolls. Seriously...
Tricia TanguyNovember 29, 2014The Mad Sconnie burger was delicious!! As were the cheese curds and sweet potato chips. Be sure to ask for peanuts for the table at some point! :)
Glenn CravenJune 20, 2014All the elements of a properly grungy, trendy dive, including an aversion to air-conditioning. A+ staff, great beef in the burgers and the "frickles" are the best fried pickles I've had anywhere.
J. BelmontJuly 6, 2013This is Maria.she is crazy. She is awesome beyond words. Request her as your server. And make sure to order a Sprechers RootBeer float and poutine.
Like bacon cheeseburgers? Like p-nut butter? Then you owe it to yourself to try the Barrie Burger. Add a side of cheese curds and you'll be writing my name on the wall to say thanks for the tip!
Finally had a side of Poutine today and it was quite delicious. For the uninitiated, Poutine is skin on fries, cheese curds (regular or fried) and gravy. Yummy!- Milwaukee Burger & a side of Cheese Curds. I checked in via FourSquare and cross posted to Twitter and Facebook. Owner Joe Sorge came over to thank me in person. Very Cool! Great Food & Service!
Matthew RathboneOctober 26, 2011AJ Bombers was one of the first independent restaurants to embrace foursquare, they really get it. As such you'll find a constant stream of excellent specials both here and in Milwaukee.
Great bloody Marys complete with bacon wrapped cheeseburger bite. Good poutine too.
Kayla CarterJuly 5, 2015Turkey burger + avocado + fried egg - bun 👍🏼💙 thank you Aj Bombers for making Paleo look good 😉- Come on a Sunday and drink every time the hard working staff makes a kiddie cocktail (kids eat free on Sundays)!
The fresh sweet potato chips are excellent and watch for the checkin special with a ticket for an event or parking. Love them- If they ever offer you the Medusa Burger for the weekly special, order it and thank me later.
Sam GlassOctober 11, 2013Make sure you look at the whole menu of drinks before ordering because the bloody marys look amazing!!!
ᴡ TorresJanuary 30, 2012Mad Sconnie Burger with jalapeno is fantastic! Pleased to see Bells Two-Hearted ale as well! I'll be back with my friends!
David StanischFebruary 19, 2012Wow! Great food. Great music. Great atmosphere. Perfect for Madison! Try the cheese curds and barrie burger!
Tyler DavisFebruary 2, 2012Bomber burger was awesome! Great place! They send peanuts from the bar in an R2D2 on a rail that hangs from the ceiling!
Miles Hungsberg-PerzewskiApril 20, 2013Organic Grass Fed Burger Upgrades! Legit! Believe It! I'm Gonna Be King of the Pirates!
- Not sure how long they will keep it around, bu the Full Monty burger is quite delicious. You have to ask for it as it is not on the printed menu.
Brenda TaylorMarch 23, 2013Order the sweet potato chips and a Bloody Mary . . . Rhinelander chaser makes this combo complete!
Stephanie MillerApril 14, 2013Must find the booth with the TARDIS! Dr. Who is everywhere. Oh and watch out for falling peanuts!
Everything about this place is great! Great food, great prices. I hope you don't mind peanut shells on the floor.
Tara RushmerJanuary 21, 2014The stuffed shroom burger is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍 You need it in your belly now!
Ashley GlowinskiAugust 2, 2012The Bloody Mary is amazing! Comes with olives, pickle, and a burger strip wrapped in bacon!
Vesper VSeptember 17, 2013The special is for free peanuts. Unless you leave a tip or picture, then maybe you get a cookie.- Had the Mad Sconnie Burger with a slice of Pepper Jack added for good measure and a side of Onion Strings. Delicious!
Heather GAugust 20, 2012When the ABC burger is the special... Its a MUST HAVE! Add a fried egg for extra yumminess!
Anna CroweMarch 11, 2012Great food, phenomenal service, and a fun atmosphere! Try the buffalo chicken egg rolls... Yum.
Leah W.April 25, 2013You can have peanuts delivered to your table and leave the shells on the floor!
The P-nut bomb scared Addie, but she loves throwing shells on the ground! Cool place for all ages!
Cedar BrownNovember 16, 2012Try the Turkey burger on cranberry focaccia bread! It tastes like a breakfast sausage sandwich!
Steve ScheeleMay 6, 2012Get some onion stacks and a Milwaukee burger. Put the onion stacks on the burger. Enjoy.
Katharine PetteyAugust 2, 2012If you want a place where you can throw peanuts on the floor. This is the place to go.
Michelle HudsonJanuary 6, 2013Milwaukee burger is where it's at! Frick frickles don't hurt anything either.
Hannah JonesSeptember 27, 2011I love this place! The food is super and the staff is bomb dot com!!!!
Ask for a kids menu. Great options, including a kiddie cocktail drink!
Isabel HIttlemanApril 21, 2012Order the O'dwyer. It's an amazing drink with raspberry vodka and lemonade!
