It's the Gritty, so if you've lived in Madison for any amount of time you pretty much know what to expect. First time at this location, service was great, food was good and the Birthday special can't be beat.
Its obviously going to be a little more relaxed and low-key than the downtown location, you have a view of a parking lot and Gammon Ave instead of campus, but you know that going in. We weren't there with kids, but seemed pretty open and kid-friendly.
