Having grown up in Madison in the 80's, Brat und Brau was one of our regular places to grab a brat, burger, or a fish fry. When we saw that they were opening back up on the north east side we had try it out. We had the brauburger baskets that included the fantastic cottage fries, and we shared a basket if homemade onion rings (more like onion strings). The burgers were great, had good flavor and were cooked to perfection, as were the fries. The condiment bar was a nice touch, having all of the usual burger and brat toppings represented. The homemade onion rings were delicious, tasting fresh with the perfect amount of batter and not overly greasy or salty. The people next to us had the brat baskets and raved about how good they were as well. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is extremely friendly, if you are in search of a good brat or burger on the north east side or if you want to relive a Madison dining experience from the past, give this place a try.
