Chris ThurberOctober 26, 2014Great 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 :-)
Jeffery ZouMarch 10, 2013Not 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.- 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
Catherine JMarch 28, 2013Came 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...
Teri ZuckermanAugust 2, 2013upscale bar sort of restaurant. think of what you would want ruby Tuesdays or tgifridays to be. great beer menu.
Paul T.May 29, 2012That french dip braised short rib sandwich they have was literally the greatest thing I've ever had. AND it comes with Parmesan fries.
Joey FarruggiaMarch 2, 2011Jersey boy burger is best around, its finger lickin yum yum delish... dont be shy give it a try, its legit so dont be a clown and put the amazing burger down- Jeffery ZouNovember 27, 2013Anything from their Happy Hour menu is good, but the hummus could easily make a meal for two.
Used to love the San Francisco tacos. The fish was fried nicely with a mango salsa and cabbage. Delicious! But they are gone now.
- Great Jersey burger and a decent draft list, but they don’t post their beers online...a shame
- Great variety of beers. Perfect place to meet with a crew after work.
- Get the Jersey Boy burger. Taylor ham and fried egg on a cheeseburger. Favorite burger on the menu
- I LOVE the paloma. Order off of the appetizer menu and share! Hummus platter is enough to feed an army.
HowieJuly 27, 2011Good food. Slightly overpriced but there's an Xcelerator in the men's room so it's got that going for it.
They need to get LandShark on tap!!!!!! Let the FIN begin!
Noam WolfJune 23, 2012Burger is over priced and overcooked. Omelette was tiny and over priced. Definitely not coming back.
