Having lived in Madison for over three years, I thought it was about time I checked out the Weary Traveler. My husband and I live on the near west side and felt a little out of place on Willy St. but still find it a fun, eclectic place to be from time to time. When we walked in, the bartender immediately noticed that we may be looking for a table even though the place was pretty packed! He promised us a place to sit within ten minutes, then cheerfully served us up a beer while we waited. As we sipped our beers, we admired the fun decor and people-watched.
We were led to our cozy corner hi-top table within the promised time and our server was wonderful. He offered suggestions when asked, and seemed like he really enjoyed his job. I had it narrowed down to the reuben or the Bad Breath Burger, and ended up going with the burger. OMG. It was, hands down, the best burger I've ever had in my life!! My husband had the dijonaise chicken and he loved it too. He said "I wish I could have this sauce on everything!"
On top of the great food and service, the prices were extremely reasonable. We will be back!
