| - Overall, we had a good experience here, but places like this don't glean consistency either which explains the wide range of reviews here.
We pulled in and, hubby, who prides himself on being able to score awesome parking spots while everyone around him fails was confused by this parking lot. The entrance faces the street and all the parking was directly in the back of the building. Not a big deal, just nothing close to the entrance. I didn't pay attention so I'm not sure how handicapped parking worked here. I was also pleased to see ample bike racks though Sprecher's doesn't seem to be in the most bike friendly area of Middleton/Madison. They have wifi but we were unable to connect to it with the password provided.
We had lunch here on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Once again our 2016-17 Bucky Book brought us here as we are on a mission to get the most value out of it. Hubby was going to get the rueben but when he asked if the meat was lean he was advised it generally was not. That was fine and he appreciated the honesty. He got the breakfast burger instead. He gets a similar sandwich at Red Robin and noted that here it came with the top of the bun on the sandwich which kept the meat hotter vs Red Robin serving it with the top bun off to the side. Still, he liked Red Robin's version better. I got the chicken enchiladas which I happily dug into. They came with real avocado and a rice mix which wasn't Spanish rice which I tend not to care for. Instead of beans it was a bean, corn and lettuce type side salad which was refreshing.
The coupon required us to each get a beverage. We generally both get water since we don't drink soda. Fortunately they had iced tea on the menu. We were curious as to how the 2-for-1 coupon was going to work, namely would one of the drinks get credited along with the meal. I'm pleased to report they not only took off the lower priced meal but also one of the beverages.
Finally, others have reported that Sprecher's doesn't offer free refills. We both had our iced teas topped off at one point without even asking. When the bill arrived we were only charged for one drink each, with one taken off with the coupon of course.
Without the coupon Sprecher's is a bit more pricey than what we'd choose in a restaurant. We can get a similar meal elsewhere and save a few bucks. Still, it was a good experience, our waiter was great and the restaurant on the whole was nice.
