This might be a bit snobby, but after spending some time in Belgium last year, I was excited to hear that Madison was getting a Belgian frites place- I could relive my time wandering around eating delicious frites! Mad City Frites, however, did not live up to my expectations. The frites weren't terrible, just nothing special. I went with a group of friends, so we were able to try each others' sauce choices, and these were also good, but nothing exceptional.
I do like the handy holes in the tables for the cones of frites. They also have a pile of board games, which is a fun idea.
I really wanted to love this place, but it fell a little short of my expectations.
