| - Go for the burgers, but don't forget to order the curds!
I went to grab a good burger with a co-worker who had been told to try it out. Both of us are new to Madison so when we were craving some grease, we decided to try it out.
The place is a total dive, but I'm a huge fan of WI dives. It looks like a little bar that belongs in the north woods, not on a Madison street. It's pretty small, but they cram quite a few people in. We had to sit at the bar when we showed up because it was pretty busy for lunch.
We ordered some cheese curds as an appetizer and I'm so glad we did. Incredibly tasty and 'fresh,' and I highly recommend it if you can manage the extra calories.
When the burgers came out, I was quite impressed. Definitely large, and great bun. The beef used is incredibly fresh, and mine was cooked medium to perfection with a little bit of pink. My only complaint was that they could have used more seasoning. While you can taste the quality of beef, it just seemed to lack spice and salt or something. But, overall, great burger.
Just a heads up: even though it has the quality of a dive, I was a little surprised to walk out of there dropping almost $20 for lunch. And that's without any beer, just soda. Granted we got the curds, and I had ordered a few extras for my burger, but I was not expecting to spend more than $12-15.
