| - I hadn't read too many great reviews about this place on Yelp! but a friend suggested I try this place before I left Wisconsin so I decided to give them a try. Despite hearing fairly good reviews about the pizza I planned to get Ians the next day (my last Saturday in Madison) so I decided to go with a cheeseburger instead. We arrived and were waited on in a timely fashion. I placed my order for a Chicago burger with American cheese (see pic) and my friend ordered the appetizer sampler (see pic) thinking it would be a regular sized sampler.
My burger arrived in about 20 minutes. It was cooked he way I asked, medium-rare. The burger itself was pretty decent, but nothing memorable. It was fairly dry but not really ridiculously so. Instead of fries I got a side salad which was ok, although you'd think tomatoes were in short supply in the world since I only got one 1 tiny cherry tomato in my salad. I also didn't like the lack of cheese in my salad but lots of places don't offer that so no big deal.
My friends appetizer turned out to be HUGE, about what 4 or 5 people would snack on while waiting for their dinner. I tried a couple of hot wings, a bbq wing and cheese stick of of the tray. The wings were meaty but not particularly hot (as in hot/cold hot) and the hot wings weren't particularly spicy either, rather bland. The bbq wings had a decent amount of sauce but the hot wings were definitely not sauced enough. The cheese stick was good and hot and how a cheese stick should taste. All in all the sampler tasted about like the burger, pretty decent but pretty forgettable.
So I guess my bottom line is this place is alright, I'd go hear again if a friend suggested it but I'd never come back here on my own initiative. They do have a really nice patio out back and their beer list looked really strong so that'd probably be the main thing for me to ever want to try if I were to come back. Oh that and the pizza of course. And just a note, the service was fine and the restaurant seemed pretty nice, as well as clean, it's just the food was not particularly great, just average. This place reminds me alot of TGIF's, of which I'm not a fan of...
Although I didn't taste the pizza it looked pretty decent from the people sitting around me and it's possible, although unlikely from the reviews on Yelp!, that the pizza may be the item to order here. It's highly unlikely I however will ever find out..
