We were in town and looking for a good place to eat and excited to try this joint, with a 4.4 star…read morerating. We've always had good food in Madison and even though we wanted to get home after a long day, we thought it would be worth the delay. Unfortunately, this time, it wasn't worth it. I feel like it's time and money wasted. I'll get to details, but I'm mainly basing this review on the quality of the food I received. Before getting to the food, our service was great. Our server was a bit slow considering there were only 3 tables (including us) occupied. Or it's more of a relaxed atmosphere, so she was just giving us a lot of time to look over the menu. But aside from that, she was friendly, helpful, and kind. Atmosphere is on the dark side. There are two screens to play games (golf, etc) on two corners of the building. I think there are plenty of options, but we were mainly in for food, and didn't really get much info on the games. I did ask whether they were run on a reservation basis, and the hostess (who was also our server) said yes. She didn't mention any pricing, so I'm not sure what the details on that is. Margarita special $5 This was great. Not overly sweet, and just the right amount of booze. It came in a whiskey cup rather than a margarita one. 3sheep chaos pattern on draft Price for draft beer is not cheap, and the beer was great. The glass it came in was super clean, but also warm. I think it just came out of the dishwasher... So clean, but beer glasses should be cold on principle. Wings The description says these are baked, and then fried before tossed in their sauce. The sauce is yummy. The wings are a fairly large size. But I think they forgot to fry it. The skin on the wings weren't at all crispy, but kinda mushy. The meat was well cooked, but also on the dry side. The celery sticks and carrot rings on the side were super fresh and crispy. Blind burger with side salad I ordered it done medium. It came out very well done. For a wagyu, it lacked fat content, and cooked for too long, so it was very dry. We had just hiked 4 hours at Devil's Lake and quite hungry, but I couldn't finish it. Seasoning was great though. And the side salad was also very fresh. Brussels sprouts Something I haven't done in the last 15 years... I had to ask them to redo it. It came out with underdone Brussels. Interestingly, after I asked them to heat it up more for me, it came out perfect, with the right amount of searing on all the cut sides. Overall, it feels like the kitchen was having a bad day and bad timing - wings needed to get in the fryer for longer, burger should've been out of the pan sooner, Brussels should've stayed in longer. For the prices I paid, I expect better food. Especially since the kitchen knows how to fix their stuff! It was like they put 70% into all the dishes until I spoke up. Would I go back? Nope. Not convinced that the 4.4 rating is justified for me.

We entered and were immersed in the merchandise and retail area; lots of shirts, hats, etc.. for sale. There were a bunch of seats at the bar and tables inside; also a large patio area outside with lots of tables & chairs. They have numerous beers on tap and in cans. They also have a small food menu of various deep fried bar snacks and pizza. We ordered a variety of different beers and an ordered of mini corn dogs. The beers were tasty and the corn dogs were delivered hot and in a timely manner. The bartender (who was also the cook) was great! We look forward to returning next year during the Great Taste of the Midwest.

The place is enormous, or at least it feels that way. The ceiling stretches overhead, the floor goes on forever, and there's no hostess stand in sight. No one is waiting to greet you. Instead, you're left to figure out the system yourself. Fortunately, the ceiling signs seem to know where you're going. Everything about the place says Chicago hot dog emporium. It isn't fancy, and it certainly isn't trying to be. No linen napkins, no mysterious foam, no server appearing with a dramatic explanation of the appetizer. Just laminated menus, stainless steel, bright signs, yellow mustard, and the reassuring promise of a hot dog piled high with enough toppings to require a little structural engineering. At the register, the cashier looks up with the blank, mildly haunted expression of someone who has been stationed there to process transactions, not thoughts. You ask a question. They stare. Not rudely. Not helpfully. Just a long, silent look that suggests your question has been received but will not be processed at this time. Your better off just ordering your food and hoping for the best. They do serve a crispy fried chicken sandwich with a sauce so aggressively spicy it feels less like a condiment and more like a personal attack. The first bite is delicious. The second begins the paralysis of your taste buds. By the third, you're realizing that requesting the sauce on the side was a good move. In hindsight, I probably should have done my homework and ordered the hot dog--the thing this place is actually famous for. Instead, I saw "spicy chicken sandwich" and made the classic mistake of assuming I knew better than a restaurant built around one very specific food.

The Smash Burger was well seasoned and tasted pretty good, but it did not seem to be a smash burger. The patties are the same as the ones used in the Brothers Three menu. Too thick and not crispy enough to be a proper smash burger. I'd bet they're just using the same technique and calling it a different thing. The sauce was really good on the burger, but I wish there was as much of it on our burger as there seemed to be in the pictures online. The cubano was a fine sandwich. Like it had all the things that are supposed to be on a cubano, but the mustard and pickles kinda get drowned out, so I'm not actually sure there was mustard on there. It also arrived kinda soggy, which is hard to avoid with delivery, but they only let you order through GrubHub or an equivalent service, so I think they lose points for that. Cheese curds were solid! They came with ranch and arrived pretty crispy and tasted really good. It's cheese that's battered and fried, how can you go wrong!? Total for two sandwiches and one side came out to $31.50. I think that's actually not a bad price given the quality of food. I'd probably give this place in between 3 and 4 stars. Everything is tasty, and I think they just lose points on execution on the smash burger and cubano. Then since you can only get it through delivery, there's a certain level of sogginess that's gonna come with that service and it only had to travel a block to get to us. This place is good and if I'm craving burgers I would definitely go back!
