We visited Madison for the weekend and heard a lot of hype about the Curd Girl food truck, so we decided to check it out at the farmers market on Saturday. Honestly, it just didn't live up to the expectations. The cheese curds were good, but they weren't crispy, which was pretty disappointing. I mean, they give you a decent amount for the price, but it just wasn't what I was hoping for. With all the hype, I expected something better. I'm not sure what the big fuss is about, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. They're usually at the farmers market all summer long, but I don't think I'd get them again. Next time I'm in Madison, I'll probably try cheese curds from somewhere else. read more

A classic food truck/stand in Madison! Some of the best curds you can find around town. They're pretty popular so be prepared to find a line in front of their truck, but have no fear the line moves speedy fast! Tip 1: They have two windows. One window to order and one order to pick up (don't get confused)! A lot of people will be waiting on the pickup line thinking it's where they order. Once you order they'll give you a ticket that you'll trade in for an order of curds. Tip 2: You can ask for condiment cups. Ranch and Siraccha aioli sauces are both free. There will be minimal space for the sauce in the curd basket they give you (especially if you're a dipper) or you can pile your curds like me, but they do offer free condiment cups. You just have to ask :) read more

Curd Girl rocks the Capitol Square on Saturdays. These fried nuggets of golden goodness are such a treat and a respite from the crowds at the Farmers Market. This was my first time and I'm hooked! read more

Obsessed with Curd Girl!!! Honestly, I understand why they are always one of the top cheese curds in the state. The curds are delicious, fried to perfection, so soft and gooey and the dipping sauces do not disappoint! We tried the siracha aioli and ranch. Loved them!! read more

Curd Girl - a person holding a box of fried food - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

As someone who was born in Wisconsin, I make it my mission to find the best cheese curds around madison. You'll hear a lot of locals say the old fashioned has the best cheese curds, but I disagree. I think this cute food cart has the best cheese curds downtown. If you're a local you should try these immeditely and if you're a tourist you can try these after your morning at the farmers market. The cart is usually located right across from Lucille's on the square. The curds were cooked to perfection and not too over cooked. My favorite part was the sauce options that the girls offered. They have their own buttermilk ranch and a variety of other kinds is sauces. The only downside was that the only beverage option they offer is lemonade. read more

The best cheese curds I've ever had! Best part about living in Wisconsin is in this place. We have such great access to high quality, rich cheese. When you deep fry them with a thinly coated batter, you get amazing results. It is easy to mess up though: leaving it in the fryer too long, too greasy, not coated ebough, coated too much!! But, this place does it perfectly. The cheese is soft and irresistible. It's not fried so much that it over powers the taste of the cheese. The batter is thinly coated and has the perfect texture to compliment the cheese. I got the sriracha aioli and honestly, anything aioli is amazing. read more

Curd Girl - The curd cart - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

My fiancé and I are getting married this year and all we could think is how amazing it would be to hire curd girl for our late night snack. We sent over 8 emails, using the email on their Facebook, website, Instagram. You name it and we tried. They made a post on Instagram and I commented simply "could you please respond to my message?" they deleted that. They have zero issue just ignoring potential customers/events. They have no professionalism and it's truly just sad. They shouldn't have a business if they ignore customers. read more

I've heard people rave about these cheese curds on yelp so I thought I'd give it a try. I've been on a cheese curd kick lately so I've been trying them everywhere I go. These are traditional in that they are cheese curds that are battered and fried. By the look of some of the photos maybe they've changed the recipe? Also the price is up to 7$ no longer 6. Some of the curds were good, some weren't leaving me overall disappointed. They were very greasy too which isn't the best when it comes to curds. The ranch was WAY too thick. It was just as thick (if not thicker) than sour cream. Overall just ok and I probably wouldn't go back. Not my favorite curd. read more

No stinkin' way. These come very, very close to being better than the cheese curds at the Cheese Days Festival in Monroe, Wisconsin! Majorly shiny gold star for serving the cheese curds with an awesome assortment of aioli sauces. oooh my, you sure know the way to my heart! (hello, sriracha sauce!) They are pretty greasy but then again, they are curds of cheese... which have been fried. The only thing that could make these better is if the batter is just a tad thicker and if they come up with a blue cheese curd (the cheese, not a curd that's literally the color blue). read more

Curd Girl - Off State Street on Saturday farmer's market day - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Yes they are greasy: cheese curds are battered, deep friend cheese- of course it's GREASY! If your pizza slice is greasy, it's a bad sign, you should question that. If your deep friend food is greasy, this means it's fresh out of the deep frier, and hasn't been sitting out on the counter for the past 30 minutes, draining; it's a good sign. Yes they melt together: good cheese curds use good batter, good batter needs to cook, cooking leads to cheese MELTing. If you enjoy cheese curds like 1 year olds enjoy their first taste of solid foods: in individual, bite size bits, you're gonna have to go to a place that uses bad batter for their curds. But if you are a proper Wisconsin adult, you will have bite. No the cheese they use is not bland. read more

Curd Girl - With sriracha aioli. Pretty greasy, but the batter and the cheese were delicious!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Okay for a foreigner these might be a 5/5 because yay fried cheese.... But for a Wisconsinite (which I'm not, I'm just faking it til I make it :o) these would be a 3/5. I had them at a stand on the way to the football game so they might have not had the prime cooking setup... Because they were too oily! The cheese was mozzarella stick texture (in that I could have choked on it lol). And I'm pretty sure curds aren't supposed to be that way! But tbh when it comes down to it they were yummy because, again, fried cheese = love. And the ranch and sriracha aioli were good, but gave me bad breath :( It's been real, curd girl, but I won't be back. read more

Curd Girl - Fried nuggets o' love and creamy sauces - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Me and wife review cheese curds around Wisconsin and this one is one of (if not THE) best cheese curds I have ever had. I really wish they would open a permanent location in downtown Madison! read more

These are some 'aspirational' fried cheese curds, right here...For folks not local to WI or immediately adjacent, what you may be able to find at your local Culvers or Dairy Queen doesn't hold a candle to Curd Girl's oooey-gooey, pull-able, perfectly battered and fried, flavorful cheesiness. I've been enjoying basic cheese curds since the 70's - I know quality, simple curd. Nothing in common with factory-flash-frozen, packaged, and sold frozen cheese sticks, except the concept, I guess. I honestly don't know how to respond to complaints regarding product being greasy. It's cheese. And they've deep fried it in wonderfully delicious batter. WTF else can one (who wishes to eat food at its perfect temperature - still toasty) expect? I've found the staff cheerful and efficient on my visits over the last year plus when in town. read more

I stood in a long, hot line at Curdfest to try the Curd Girl curds for a second time. I had high hopes after my initial so-so experience, however, I was again let down. The curds were hot and gooey, but the taste was just bland. The strawberry rhubarb sauce was good, but the two favors didn't complement each other as much as I'd hoped. The girls that run it are so sweet, and I really wish I liked the curds more. But, I've been underwhelmed twice now. I'm sticking with my three star rating. read more

Best cheese curds in Madison by far! Crunchy, gooey, salty, and with two divine dipping sauces. I just wish they had a more permanent location so I could have them more often. This is the perfect place for a classic Wisconsin treat! read more

The curds are a hit! You can see the owners working hard at hand battering their curds and making them in small batches so they are fresh when you get 'em. The curds have a thin crispy batter and taste "lighter" than other curds, which I consider a good thing. They do melt in your mouth! you can choose one of several different sauces, including garlic aoli, ranch, and some others. My only complaints are that the ordering system was very unclear; customers were supposed to line up at one window to order then stand in line in another for curds, but no signage indicated where to go. Also they do not give napkins; a must for anything fried! Overall, these are some of the best fried curds I've tried. read more

Quick service and excellent curds! The sauces were amazing also. People were nice. First experience with cheese curds and definitely didn't disappoint. read more

Simple and delicious. Cheese curds, deliciously fried. Awesome thin batter, melty stretchy cheese! Pick a sauce (I say pick sriracha aioli)! How many orders of curds? How about a cucumber lemonade? Mmm, yum yum. One of my new highlights at the Dane County outdoor farmer's market, located right by Ian's pizza! And there's often live music to accompany your curds. Just remember to bring some napkins, or stop by the overture for a rest stop to wash your hands after ;) Can't wait to get more fried curds! Good job Curd Girl! read more

I'm in love!? Can I stalk you? If I win the lottery I will pay you to just make cheese curds for me from now into eternity. Yes, I may also need a personal trainer. Ok, joking aside, these cheese curds are the real deal. FRESH and crispy. Delicious. You'll be seeing me again. Love it. read more

The menu is short and sweet: cheese curds and lemonade. The lemonade was $3 and the cheese curds were $6. Yes, it is more expensive than a side of Culvers cheese curds. However, the quality is far better. The cheese curds come with one dipping sauce. I ordered the curds with siracha aioli, and I paid an extra dollar to get the the strawberry rhubarb sauce. Both were delicious! I would put these in my top three curds in Wisconsin. The cart itself also has a cute, retro, Wisconsinesque design that makes you smile. The service was friendly and reasonably speedy for fresh fried. Cash only. read more

The Curd Girl Fried Curds were my highlight of Atwoodfest!!! Very deserving 5 Stars from a die hard cheese head. 1 read more

I tried their amazing fried cheese curds at the Willy St Fair. I did not experience the problems that some other reviewers had with the curds being too greasy. The batter was very light, almost like a tempura batter, and the inside was nicely melted. Both the ranch and sriracha dip worked well with the hot curds. I would definitely come back for more. read more

I thought these were good curds and you get a huge serving for $6! The sirracha aioli that comes with is really good too. Curd Girl is friendly too. Would definitely buy them again. read more

Greasy, exploded, and overpriced. Fix it, ladies... please. I want to support you, but there are better curds for far less all over the East side. read more

BEST cheese curds I've ever had!! Quick service even at the packed Willy Street Fair. The creamy buttermilk ranch is delicious as well. I just wanted to keep eating them!! read more

Bar none, the best cheese curds I've enjoyed in Madison. The $6 price tag comes from using quality cheese, great frying oil and a healthy portion. Good service from friendly people. I buy them at every festival where they appear. read more

We booked Curd Girl to come out to our wedding a couple weeks ago. We had a lot of out of towners at our wedding and they loved being able to try a Madison staple. The curds were delicious and the ladies were easy to work with. Plus the food truck is adorable. Highly recommend! read more

The first time I tried Curd Girl was at Taste of Madison 2014 and BOYYY WAS I MISSING OUT! These are the best curds I've had since moving to Madison. I found out that they are regularly posted at the farmer's market after stalking--ahem, finding their Facebook page. I never really paid attention to the food trucks whenever I browsed around. The curds themselves are made fresh and I like the light and airy batter, a perfect complement to the tasty cheese. The cart employees are friendly gals and always remember my corgi puppy on the weekends when we stop by. Thumbs up! read more

My hubs loves fried cheese curds and we have been on the search for the best...and we found them at the Taste of Madison at the Curd Girls booth. There's something unique about the batter. Very crisp yet light and the spicy dipping sauce pairs beautifully. read more

As a lifelong Wisconsinite I can comfortably say these cheese curds are in my top 5 of all time. Absolutely amazing. The incredible homemade sauces are a great touch! read more

My all time favorite cheese curds (and I've had ALOT). Love the sriarcha aoili. Such a treat when I get these cheese curds :)

My favorite curds were made at a local festival over two decades ago and I thought I would never be able to taste any cheese curds as wonderful as those until I found this gem! Curd Girl's cheese curds are the only ones that are just like my favorite and my boys and I are in love! read more
