Back when I lived in Madison this place was a scary
D-I-V-E! The refurb is beautiful and the menu is inspired and tasty. Plus the women's bathroom is like a sanctuary with a tantalizing Prince image keeping watch while you do your business. Try the mac and cheese; you'll cry. This corner is really hopping with upcoming new restaurants and a Cabaret (?!) nightclub across the street. All in the shadow of that empty Oscar Mayer behemoth. What will become of the Eken Park neighborhood? I imagine bearded and stylish Veronians are buying up those tiny houses right now, just to be near the Tip Top! Dec. 2016 update: In town to visit and HAD to visit Tip Top again. Great time on a cold night. Sconnie sandwich is fantastic! Reuben = delicious. Love this place!
