| - We're here for the day enjoying the Madison Chautauqua Festival with 50,000 others. Lunch time has escaped us when suddenly we decided lunch is a must ASAP. Checking my Yelp bookmarks Shooters is our second choice but are we ever happy we couldn't get in the first restaurant on my list.
As we entered there was a small wait but several people were close to leaving. We only waited 5 minutes before the sweat drenched man hussling his butt off had cleaned 5 tables. The restaurant was full of patrons laughing, enjoying beers, cocktails and entrees that caught our attention as the servers went past.
The bar area was full of regulars and tourists having a great time some watching the 2 big screen, flat panel TVs over the bar. Sports bar this is with a total of 13 TVs in the restaurant for your viewing pleasure. There are two bar tops, back to back, with 8 seats per bar area. They carry 15 craft beers on tap with 10 craft bottle beers and a full bar.
Everyone was extremely friendly, the menu was affordable, and the atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Due to the Chautauqua Festival, Shooters was using their limited menu to save the kitchen from a slow death. Fortunately we received the regular menu which both of us were excited about. Yes, we had to give the regular menu back and order from the limited menu but we've decided we have to dine here on our next trip.
Shooters is what you'd expect when you hear Sports Bar. Lots of tables filled with families, food, laughter, beers, and cocktails. The decor is brick walls and hardwood floors, and a large, wooden double bar very reminiscent of a Man Cave but with lots of natural lighting.
We started with Boneless Wings (10 - $6.99) and split 5 and 5 with the Hot Buffalo and Tropical Habanero sauce. The Chicken was all white meat and the Tropical Habanero was our favorite sauce. The hot buffalo sauce brought tears to our eyes when delivered and yummy.
My husband had the tender Pulled Pork Sandwich ($8.49) on a hoagie bun and it was delicious. You can tell the meat has been slow roasted then topped off with a sweet bbq sauce and served with house-made chips. Chips were to crunchy for our taste. The only problem we encountered was the menu didn't mention the parmesan cheese topping on of the hoagie. He's allergic so he just pulled off the top bun and turned it into a fork sandwich.
I ordered the Ghost Burger ($9.99) simply because of the special blends of seasonings and ghost peppers in the burger then topped with grilled purple onions, Applewood smoked bacon, and a ghost pepper cheese. The burger was a nice size, cooked perfectly and the spices and flavors worked well together. The sandwich is served with Excellent seasoned fries and I upcharged for scrumptious Cheese fries. The first layer of cheese was similar to hot, poured Cheese Whiz then smothered with melted Monterrey Jack cheese over the well seasoned fries. Cheesy, fattening and heavenly.
Everything was wonderful from all of the friendly servers, ice cold beer (Octoberfest), tasty appetizers and delicious sandwiches. We only wish they were closer to Indy. We'll be back to sample the rather large, regular menu when there isn't a festival.
