| - As long as I have traveled to Madison, I have made a point to stop down and eat a bratwurst (or two) at State Street Brats. Wisconsin has a strong German heritage, and it's only appropriate that one of the best brats can be found a mile from the State Capitol. It's a great place to start an evening of drinking on State Street.
You have a few choices of brats, red or white, and I suggest you add the waffle fries or cheese curds as a compliment. The cheese curds are great by themselves too...yum! The waitstaff seemed non-existent, so we ordered from the bar. The food was ready in about 10 minutes...prices, very reasonable. They have a great assortment of toppings...a handful of mustard, sauerkraut, and even mayo for the fries in a bar toward the center of the downstairs eating area.
After eating a few brats and drinking some brews, head out and turn right to head toward some other bars...but make your way back here later on, since they open a dance floor upstairs...with a bar in one corner serving PBR taps for cheap.
State Street Brats, it's quintessential Wisconsin. It'd be fun to see what this place looks like on a Packer or Badger game day.
