Probably the most iconic restaurant in Madison. It really captures the essence of the city as it is usually full of a mixture of political hacks, college kids, and large & hungry locals.
Everything thing I have ever tried here is good. They have the BEST cheese curds I have ever eaten though. Simply put, I don't believe it is possible to find better curds than here & I am a curds aficionado. Their beer cheese soup is also exceptional. They have great burgers and sausage & I have always been partial to their fried walleye.
The place is almost as much watering hole as it is restaurant, but if you really want to get the Madison experience, this is your place. Also, get the curds...they will change your life.
