I love this place for many reasons:
-Great memories
-Eclectic menu
-Good social gathering place
-Cheese curds
Even before I lived in Madison, my Epic interviewer took me and the rest of the interviewees to the downtown location where we welcomed the warm, lively atmosphere and wide-ranging selections. The burgers/sandwiches, entrees, fried plantains, cheese curds have a delicious taste and no complaints. I've ordered that pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaf like 5 times before moving onto the brats and sauerkrat dish 3 more times. All the locations are pretty consistent in taste and service but the Fitchburg one was my favorite because of the ample parking lot and the roomy upstairs.
I will always recommend this place over The Old Fashioned. Sometimes you just don't have 2 hours to wait for a plate of food.
