    Bakery and front counter.
    Brian J.

    Stopped in to Old Town Coffee House on a early Saturday morning and you can park right in front of the entrance. It's a very open and good sized restaurant with a large table in the corner for our party of eight that included a couple of energetic little ones ! They have daily specials and i got the steak and eggs and it was good for a fair price. You order at the counter and they bring it out to your table . Locally raised beef hamburger is also for sale. Service was fast with plenty of help!

    Have been here a couple times, good coffee & food. The wait was pretty long but worth it. Great patio that's pet friendly!

    Cordon bleu skillet.

    I have been here twice now, and it would get a 5 star from me both times. The food here is incredible, and a place that is worth visiting if you are in the area. I got the eggs, bacon, and pancakes the first time as a safe option. All was very good and they give you a big portion size! This time I got the cordon bleu skillet.. and OH gosh, it was amazing!!!! I some reviews that the service was really slow, the first time it wasn't as busy and took a little longer for us to get our food. However, the second time was a lot more busy, but we also got our food faster. They were well staffed the second time and was a reasonable wait time for food. Go here if you love big portion sizes and delicious breakfast :) Pro tip: If you ask for a to go cup with your coffee order, you can take some with you on your way out.

    Eggs Benedict

    First time visit. Looks nice and tidy. Kitchen area visible and looks clean as well. An Eggs Benedict is being awaited. Something to make or break a good breakfast. Coffee arrived quickly but not in a Togo cup as requested. Server girl is very attentive otherwise. Coffee is not particularly good. This isn't Folgers but it also isn't Starbucks. After seeing order completed and watching the servers clear tables and other side tasks I watched for about 3-4 minutes before I walked up and requested it myself. The other server, I'm thinking owner or Mgr, she promptly brought it over as well as gave me a to go cup. Nice. The potato's are outstanding. Eggs cooked nearly perfectly, though a teensy bit too long. Probably because of the residual heat as well as time under lamps. Hollandaise is ok, I'm undecided if it's homemade. All in all, the best E. Benny in ages. Three stars because I had to remind them. And another because overall it's darn tasty, but not perfect. :0(

    Don't even have words, this is by far the best breakfast joint I've ever been to!! These chefs deserve all of the praise in the world, I can't say enough how good my omelette was. This is definitely the Madison areas BEST KEPT SECRET. please give this place a visit, you won't be disappointed!

    Looks like a great place with the big log frame. Something about it says it should be great…read more Went after a soccer game, not too many people were in the place, about 8 at the bar and 3 tables in dining room. I'm not sure if they were under staffed but they seemed confused so no host was there and we kind of just stood there for a while. It took awhile but we were eventually seated. We were then seated. I believe the name Micheal was our waiter. We asked about drinks, not much in way of craft beers. So old fashioned,a Yuengling, a coke and apple juice. Granddaughter said apple juice was good! Friday night fish fry, what do they have? Catfish, walleye and cod. So we ended up with 2 catfish, a walleye and a cheeseburger. 1 catfish with fries and side salad. 1 catfish with baked potato and side salad 1 walleye with baked potato and side salad. Burger and fries. It took awhile for salad plates to come, it was A salad bar. Very basic salad bar, they are glad I didn't take pictures because the salad bar looked weak, not so much with topping but the lettuces looked old and barely enough for the 3 of us. They brought the burger, walleye and 1 catfish plate. Gave walleye and catfish to wrong people; we said I we think you have wrong people, they said no. You can kind of tell a catfish filet from walleye. He asked me to cut into my fish to tell the difference; he then agreed they were mixed up. My catfish had baked potato instead of fries. He said I'll get you the fries, I won't charge you for the baked potato??? Kind of strange response- why would you even think that. So we ate and pretty much done eating, my fries arrive. Oh well! He was gracious enough to say we gave you a few extras; my side didn't look any bigger than another guest portion. We enjoy hitting Wisconsin dive bars and usually they have great food! Actually the fish was good, but portions were small, 1/2 filet each for what we paid in my humble opinion. While we go back to revisit other past places while we are here, I very much doubt we will be back here. Maybe we just hit an off night since I see other positive reviews.

    Service was excellent. Dining area could have been warmer. Place has been in business a long time…read morebut the lack of cars or customers should have told me to leave.. that and the dark parking lot. Ok i ordered spaghetti. It cane with chili or a salad. I took the chili. Tbe chili was excellent. But the spaghetti and meatballs was disappointing. Tastes like spaghetti o's without the circular noodles. So my recommendation is if you like chili check it out. Hard pass on the spaghetti although the garlic bread was good. Maybe bring kids for spaghetti if they like the taste of spaghetti o's. I noticed they have a fish fry - maybe that would be good. I had high hopes. Maybe everything else is great. I was the only one eating at 7pm so i think that might indicate otherwise.

My daughter had the pancake and sausage link which were also very good. Portions are large, prices are good, and the servers are all very personable. I don't typically allow my daughter to have a lot of sugar but when we first arrived, our server Danette gave a little cup of fruit loops to my almost 2 year old to keep her occupied until the food came out.

    I wanted to like this place, I really did. Did some research on solid diners in the Madison area…read moreand this is one of the ones that popped up. It was off the highway, so I thought I would give it a go. Walked in and it was what you would expect from a Wisconsin diner -- old carpeting, waitresses who are lifers, and signage from the bygone era. I sat at the bar, with barstools that came about 4 feet off the ground, and asked the cordially waitress what was good. She rattled off about 3/4 of the breakfast menu so I needed a few minutes. A few minutes passed and I went with the Krab Cakes Benedict (why the K?) and the Cottage Platter. The crab cakes were decent (definitely better than the Cottage Platter), but very crisp on the outside, straddling the line of burnt, and somewhat cooked on the inside. Light on the seasoning. As they say on the cooking shows, it was screaming for some acidity...or in this case some Old Bay. Then the Cottage Platter, which I was very much looking forward to, fell flat for me. The hashbrowns had a funky taste to them, which I couldn't quite place. And again, overall, the dish was lacking in flavor. Would I go out of my way to hit this place up again? Most likely not. If I was in the area and wanted to try something else, I probably would.

Parking at this…read morelocation can be challenging as the lot is small, but there is some street parking around the restaurant. Food 3/5: we're used to Minnesota old fashions, so the watered down version seems odd to us. We got on old fashion without a mixer , and it tasted like the added water to it. The cheese curds at this place used to be hand battered, but now seem frozen. The dipping sauce was a nice compliment, but not the most fresh. The kids loved their Dino nuggets with fruit and ranch. The Mac and cheese was buttered noodles with sprinkle cheese and didn't have an actual cheese sauce, we would not recommend. Everyone else at the table got some version of the fish fry. The haddock was cooked well and the portion was adequate. The fish sandwich was undercooked/doughy and was not good. I did like their tartar sauce and thought it balanced the fish well. Service 4/5: our waiter seemed a little overwhelmed and was attentive as he was able. He did get our kids orders in before ours which was nice. The food came hot. Ambiance 5/5: we were sat upstairs which was beautiful during the sunset. Overall this is a kid friendly place (upstairs at least) and our kids loved looking g out the windows and watching the cars and the sunset. Overall their food quality and options have changed over the years and is not as consistently high quality as it used to be. The menu has also changed significantly, so check before you come. If you need a kid friendly place, the have great kid options.

My childhood friend Cara, and I enjoyed a pleasant lunch Thursday afternoon as served by Grace (with grace). We both had the Mediterranean Bowl (see photo). This order comes up fast, and it's a lot of food to satiate you. It could be saved for your dinner later. Overall, a good price, and for a little extra it comes with a filet of salmon (my choice) or chicken breast. For dessert we shared the black and tan brownie - served with French Vanilla ice cream on top and whipped cream on the sides... it was DELICIOUS. Just an absolutely fabulous dining experience!

I found this one after seeing all the positive reviews and thought it even had a drive thru, but turns out it didn't (I think that's more of an Apple Maps issue). No big deal, we decided to head inside instead and glad we did. The place was so cozy and fully leaning into fall and Halloween vibes! From the decor to the overall atmosphere, it felt warm and festive in the best way. Their menu was super creative and seasonal too, with lots of drink options (they even serve beer, which was unexpected but cool)! Our barista mentioned she was still in training, and I appreciated her honesty and kindness. The drinks came out okay, we ordered a Pumpkin espresso, which came lightly flavored and the other, Banana Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso was a bit strong, it tasted mostly espresso with the flavors either not in the beverage or not quite blended in. I did like how she offered different milk options, that was a nice touch. I also noticed some cups had cute pumpkin toppers, which was an adorable detail (mine didn't have one, but I noticed others did). Overall, it was a cute stop with nice service and a great vibe.
