When I arrived in Madison it was late, I was tired and all I wanted was a burger and some fries. I thought the Weary Traveler would be perfect.
Alas, you don't serve French fries. You have a burger on your menu called Bob's Bad Breath burger and no fries?! Sigh. This is the ONLY reason I couldn't give you higher than 3 stars. Burgers + sandwiches + bar -fries= sadness.
The servers were really nice. Seated our party of 12 quickly. I had to go grab menus for us after about 10 minutes of sitting there but that's ok. You were pretty busy. My friends liked your drinks menu. However not too many appealing food options.
I ordered the Mediterranean plate. Salad, hummus, tabbouleh and pita chips. It was tasty and just enough to sate my hunger at 8 pm.
Some ordered the grilled cheese, the bad breath burger and the ace burger. All burgers are grass fed with Wisconsin cheese. My friends said they were just ok. Not enough seasoning on the burger. All burgers served with little greens salads. The kitchen didn't cook the burgers medium rare, the way they were ordered. That was a little disappointing.
Old school Board games available (Clue, Battleship, etc). No tv to watch sports.
If I'm ever back at Madison this won't be one of the first places I visit. I think there has to be better burger joints around.
