I stopped here recently after an appointment. I wasn't familiar with the area and I needed…read moresomething to eat quickly, so I took a chance. I was hopeful when I saw the stocked shelves with specialty foods and the fridges and freezers. They have some good choices, although not tons of inventory. It definitely reads like a sideline business to the counter in the back. I got myself a tuna sub. That was good and the bread was excellent. I also brought home a couple slices of veggie lasagna for dinner. BF liked it better than I did there. The veggies were plentiful, but a touch beyond al dente, verging on just raw. The "sauce" was just peeled tomatoes. Not my style. It did have some flavor. As for service - the woman working the deli counter was nice once I got up there, but the younger man who checked me out said nothing at any point. The whole experience left me feeling like it was just basic and blah.

Great olives and salads. Why do they close at 5 pm? Why not 6 pm? People get off work at 5 pm.read more

I mainly come here for the Chinese BBQ, so that's what I am rating. :) The roast pork and duck is…read morereally good--almost CHI quality, if ya know what I mean. Their deli also offers other Chinese sides and entrees, every now and then. The guys working the back don't speak much English but enough to get what you need--be patient bc it's worth it! They're also the only place that you can order and entire roast pig in Madison! You need to order a week in advance, and make a $50 deposit. The remaining fee is paid at pick up (~$5/lb). You can request it left whole or chopped up, too! Great for feasts (iykyk) ! ;) I've done minimal grocery shopping here and found they have a good variety. Prices seemed seem fair, and no complaints about quality. The store does appear a bit run-down--it is a gas station, after all. But dat BBQ IS LEGIT.

The Garden Asian Market is located off the corner where University Ave meets Allen Blvd and is…read moreeasier to access coming off of University Ave. It's a little corner shop with a decent selection of groceries and various other snacks. There's also a gas station right outside of the grocery store and the prices here are relatively competitive, so it's not a bad deal to try to fill up on some gas if you plan to stop by for treats. In terms of cleanness, it wouldn't be the cleanest, so definitely recommend bringing some wipes or using some hand sanitizer before you enter/leave particularly if you plan on using the gas station.

Went here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and the service was amazing! Our server took such…read moregreat care of us. We got a calamari to start, and it was good. I also got their mango mocktail and IT WAS AMAZING. I loved it. For an entree, I got the filet tips stroganoff and it was okay. The beef was great, but the dish was a little salty. I loved the ambiance and the dim lighting!

Recently stopped here on my way back from Baraboo on my way back to Chicago from my business…read moreventure and I wanted to visit the West store since I've already visited the north and east stores. I like this store just because it's bigger than the rest and I love the community that it is in since it's right next to a college District I probably shouldn't have came here while they were doing inventory just because product is boxes were all over the store being put away by staff. They had everything that I would expect to find from the other Willy establishments. Staff and guests here were very friendly and it was easy to shop around and find my groceries. Now, I've never been here during their breakfast hours but I was shocked to learn that they had vegan empanada to go and the hot food section. Prices here are fair on all products though it does pay if you shop here frequently and you are an owner so you pay better prices. Some of the self checkout lines were out of service. Overall, it is a great place to visit and it boasts plenty of parking so that shouldn't be an issue. Easy access to the streets as well as the highway nearby

This is now called Metro Market... I don't know ow what has happened to this grocery store since…read morethe rebranding over the last couple of years... but Boy Howdy has it gone down hill. Produce section used to be great... not its regularly picked over and or just absent. The specialty section used to be the best part of this market - now it's just sort of an odd mishmash of unorganized stuff. Good luck finding an actual check out line... in general there is one open line... you'll otherwise need to go to the self checkout - which mostly doesn't work. The store isn't particularly well kept or clean... which is a turn off in a grocery store. When this was a pick and save it was a bit of a gem... sadly no longer.

Great customer service and food! We stopped here on a Sunday to have our anniversary dinner and…read morewe were very happy we did. The vibe here is intimate which is perfect for couples or groups celebrating a special event. There is a cool bar area where you can order fancy libations. As far as the food...everything tasted delicious and was well cooked. We ordered the calamari appetizer and we thought it was a 4/5. I am only docking a point because it was slightly too salty and some of the octopi were slightly overcooked/chewy. We had the soup of the day which was fantastic paired with bread. I ordered the lobster tail with the 6 oz filet mignon and both the lobster and filet were cooked to perfection!! Our sides were mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts which tasted delicious. We also got a little surprise, we got dessert on the house. Overall, a great experience.

Another great happy hour! Our server Tanisa was so friendly, helpful, and fun. We tried the loaded…read morehash browns for the first time, and they were excellent. I got the happy hour steak salad. The meat and mushrooms portions were very fair for the price. The meat was cooked as ordered, but the marinade was very sweet and a few of the pieces were gristly. Other than that, everything was good. We love the round cozy booths by the bar.
