| - The best food in Madison for the price. HANDS DOWN. This fresh and flavorful menu cannot be beaten, and the beer selection is wonderful with an ever-changing variety that can only be rivaled by a few gastropubs in the area. It's easy to spend 3 times more on beer than your food, but so so so worth it. If you haven't eaten here, GO! I love all of their sides, but my favorite is the house salad. It is usually boring at most places, but here you almost forget about your dinner while eating it. AWESOME.
You must try:
Sweet Potato Fries: Thin sliced fries with jalapeno berry jam and spiced mayo sides (perfectly delicious)
Tarragon Ham Sandwich: Deliciously sweet, hot, and thick sliced homemade ham with a tarragon mayo with tomatoes on a baguette (sinful)
TinShack Smokehouse Burger: I was having a food-gasm while I was eating this, but I recall there being smoked carmelized onions with muenster cheese, some sort of spiced cream sauce, all on top of a perfectly rare bison burger patty. All of this in between a nice black sesame bun. Yummy!
I could keep going on all day about this menu, and their daily specials are local, fresh, and amazingly cheap. Go there now if you haven't already.
The only negative to this place is the difficulty in finding a table. If you don't come before 6 or 6:30 during the week, good luck fitting in a table of more than 3 or 4. I haven't even braved it during the weekend supper rush, so take your chances if you will, it's worth it.
