    Nashville chicken and waffle
    Sho R.

    I took out food on a Friday evening. It was not that busy at that time. Oreo infusion pancakes was my favorite item. It was real big. I got 2 and couldn't finish it. May be I could have finished one. Nashville chicken and waffle and Corned beef was good.

    Denver omelet that comes with a pancake and yummy crispy potatoes.

    Went here for brunch with my daughter and the food was phenomenal! Coffee and service was great as well. The decor is super pretty and reminds me of an upscale Chicago cafe. We'll be back again and again.

    Eggs, yes, we're hot chick, no waffles, beignets, meat, skillet, espresso martini, Bloody Mary, Americano mocha.

    I love coming to Era! The food, vibe, and staff are always amazing! Top tier drinks makes this my favorite breakfast spot in around the Madison area.

    Super cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating, quick and friendly service, good food- generous portions (pancakes were also good reheated)! Definitely worth a visit, we will be back to try more things!

    Healthy choice waffle

    First time I went there, after we were seated, it took 20 minutes for a server to come to our table when there was hardly anyone in the place. The food was amazing! Just recently went there and had a much better experience with the service and food was still amazing! Very cute and cozy restaurant.

    Two scrambled eggs with fruit cup, bacon and one pancake.

    What a great place. We went for breakfast. There are a lot of menu options. The service was fantastic! The food came out quickly (except for the pancake but that was okay). The food was delicious! The bacon was so good. So were the eggs and fruit. The pancake was very thick with a crispy bottom which I liked. It came with warm syrup!! The place is clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back!!

    Our 2nd visit. Just as wonderful as our first. Thank you especially to the bartender for the wonderful looking cocktail as well as tasty!

    A breakfast/brunch destination in Waunakee is Era! Many choices but the crepes with fresh fruit were wonderful. Go easy on the pancake order unless you're really hungry.

So if you're on the way back from Devil's Lake or Circus World or Wollersheim Winery, just go. It's a one room classic Wisconsin Tavern. It's clearly a locals joint. Don't be intimidated by the row of Harley's parked in front of the door. Everyone in the place was nice, down right friendly.... and I'm guessing there is a regular flow of recreational bikers coming and going. The bartender knew just about everyone there except for us. But we'll be back. The fresh burgers and bacon comes from the Lodi, one town over, and you can tell it's fresh and local. Prices are extremely reasonable. Of course there's a full bar with about five beers on tap and an ample supply of bottled beers including local favorites. But it's the burgers I'll be back for. So take the field trip and check out Tootsies. Seek out the out of the way local joints during your summer travels.

Menu is very limited, but that didn't matter to us. We were going to check out the burgers. Hamburger with a slice of raw onion, two bacon cheese burgers (their specialty) with a slice of raw onion and a side of fries, and a veggie wrap rounded out our order. Burgers were a good size and cooked well. Meat was coarse grind which we like. Fries were nothing special but came hot to the table. The wrap was underwhelming. Service was friendly. Food was better than average but place needed a good cleaning, especially the cooking grill and back room which was visible. 4 stars is generous. Likely not return until cleanliness is addressed.

I left hubby with no option other than stopping for lunch or at least ordering some food to go. I lived in Kansas as a teenager and fondly remember discovering bierocks and later making them for my own family. I wish we were locals because not only are the bierocks good, but this place has a fun vibe that would definitely bring us back. It was a game day when we stopped, and there was a fair crowd cheering on their favorite Wisconsin team. We ordered a Classic with Bavarian seasoning and a Rosemary Lamb Bierock to go along with some jalapeño poppers. I really enjoyed the Classic with the additional seasoning. It gave it an added boost of flavor. My husband was pleased with the Rosemary Lamb. Each came with chips and a pickle. Next time, I hope we can stop in and stay for a cocktail or craft beer as well.

Place was not busy and our order was messed up -- ingredients and sides weren't correct or were missing -- which is the reason for 3 stars. We did get comped one meal due to the fact that an entire meal for our son wasn't made and we had to wait another 15 minutes for it to be cooked. Overall, I'd like to try this place again to see if it can regain some stars and my confidence in the service.

I like that the employees are always friendly, and this might be related to the fact that it's an employee owned cooperative.

And we stop here for milk on the go sometimes. Fast and easy for my Sun Prairie existence. I'm docking them a star because unless you've been living under a rock, styrofoam cups are kind of not cool. Switch to paper cups for hot beverages and I'll revisit the rating.
