    I was hard pressed to decide btw 4 and 5 stars and landed on 4. Don't think anything bad by that as we had a remarkable time. We came on a Friday night, the one day they do not accept reservations. When we arrived, it was 3 deep all around the very large bar. It actually didn't take too long to get drinks. My son and I got the Old Fashioned, which EVERYONE orders. (My wife got a gin and tonic. ) The way it works here on Friday nights is you tell the bartender you'd like to eat dinner. He sends a waitress to take the order. So we did that. The bartender gave us expectation for 2.5 hours to be seated. So we drink several Old Fashioneds, but in the end, it only took 75 minutes to seat us. My son and I had steak and perch. Yes, you read that correctly. And we both stated that we liked the perch more than the steak. All in all, we were very pleased with our evening. We'll come back next time we're in Madison.

    Crowds at 5pm!

    Time for an updated review since we have now been here at least five times since our initial review. After the shock of our first visit our subsequent visits were in the middle of the week when it was not so crazy. You can actually get a reservation on a weeknight! Most of the visits entailed old fashions (strong and a good price) and a fish fry. I have had both the perch and the blue gill and overall give the perch the stronger grade including the meal last week. The times we went midweek we still went on the early side and got seated by 5pm. No Friday night crowds with one plus hour waits and it wasn't four deep at the bar. The servers are always pleasant and I find it amazing how calm they are with the chaos on weekends. Our experience on weeknights bumped this from a 3 star to a 4 star. Despite what we had learned about dining here on a Friday night, we had guests in town who wanted to go to Toby's and it was a Friday night. We arrived at about 6:40pm. The bar was slightly less crowded then our first Friday night experience but still jammed. We ordered our drinks and eventually our meal. It was an hour and ten minute wait. Fortunately we were able to get four seats at the bar which helped. At 8:00 we were seated (as estimated) and a very friendly waitress served our meal. Again I got perch and it was very good. If it weren't for our guests I wouldn't have come on a Friday night. I will continue to go on a weeknight when we do visit in the future. Still a wild experience. They obviously make alot of money selling drinks so why change the formula!

    Bartenders are excellent and they notice everyone and the level of their drinks. Very efficient with a busy bar. Old fashioneds were great. Wait staff take your order then come back to get you when table is ready. Our wait time was substantially longer than we were quoted. I'm sure this is hard for them to time. The food portions were huge. Tartar sauce is sweeter than tangy. Giving it 4 rather than 5 stars because this will not come into my new go to spot, but I highly recommend if you're looking for a whole fish fry WI experience.

    Found this place in a "Supper Clubs of Wisconsin" book. So nice to see an old fashioned (true) Supper Club still operating in the Madison Area. One of maybe a handful. Literally right off the Beltline on the southeast side. When I say "true" Supper Club... it's right down the relish tray served with every meal. Made up of pickles, veggies, bread and a frosted cinnamon roll. Meals are served with a choice of soup or salad and also comes with a choice of potato. (The easy choice for me is the Hash Browns). So I found this place maybe 9 months ago and tonight is my 4th here. My new Madison favorite! No matter what you order, I highly recommend adding the shrimp. The breaded tails are some of the best I've had and go great with the steak. Drinks (especially Old Fashions) are great and the service is excellent. Definitely a "locals" hangout, but they have been super friendly every time I've been here. Will be packed around the prime eating times. I would recommend reservations or waiting until a little later to come in. It clears out a bit after 7. At least on a weeknight.

    Toby's Supper Club has been going strong for over 50 years! Experience a Wisconsin style classic old fashion supper club! Toby's is well known for their drinks, fish fry specials like fried pike, chicken, steak, seafood, and cinnamon rolls served on Monday through Thursdays! They even have frog legs on the menu! My husband and I visited Toby's supper club on a Friday night after 8pm. I heard Toby's supper club gets extremely packed/busy, so we purposely went close to closing time. When I called, they told me they don't take reservations for Fridays and Saturdays its first come first serve. When we arrived, Toby's supper club was still very busy even at 8:30pm with a-lot of guests, a full bar, and a pull tab machine with people pulling tabs! If you have never been to Toby's, there is a sign at the front, explaining how they do things. They basically start you out at the bar, when you know what you want to order a server comes and takes your order, when a table is ready the server lets you know but it is definitely first come first serve. We started out with drinks at the bar and eventually a server took our dinner order when we were ready. Definitely try their most popular cocktail the Key Lime Pie martini which actually tastes like a delicious Key Lime pie! When a table was ready, our server seated us. We had the ultimate Wisconsin supper club experience! The ambience was dimly lit with candles at each table and old fashion crackers, bread rolls, and a veggie/relish tray ready at our table along with the soup and salads that came with our meal! I had clam chowder soup for an appetizer which was delicious! We both ordered ribeye with a side order of their jumbo butterfly fried shrimp! The fried shrimp is a must try with perfect golden crispy batter fried to perfection! My husband and I both ordered our ribeye steaks medium well. The steaks were super tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked! However, the steaks had absolutely NO seasoning or flavoring! We both had to heavily season our steaks with salt and pepper. Our loaded baked potatoes were pretty good! We had an amazing server! I think her name was Christa. She was very attentive, friendly, and had a great sense of humor! I could tell that she had been a server for along time! She made our experience very enjoyable! We plan to go back to Toby's to try more menu items. It is definitely worth visiting Toby's for the delicious affordable food, great fish fry, the cocktails, and the experience of a true Wisconsin supper club which is super fun!

    This was the 2nd time I've been to Toby's. The first was years ago and I wasn't impressed. This said, this evening I was impressed. Toby's is old school. Service was outstanding and the prices are modest at best. Two drinks, cheese curds, two old fashioneds, two steak dinners (filet and NY Strip) with a 20+ percent tip and we were still under $100. Drinks were good... spread that comes with the dinners is substantial: Relish tray, rolls, bread sticks, cinnamon rolls, and choice of potato, and choice of salad, homemade coleslaw or cottage cheese. I really appreciate the great prices and that everything comes with to make a full meal. You order your meal at the bar and when it's ready you're seated at a table. This works out really pretty slick. The bartenders and waitstaff couldn't have been more accommodating. Steaks were good... I might have preferred a little more aggressive seasoning on my steak, but the flapper was food and the sear very nice.

    Frog legs. 3 "saddles" and hash browns on individual plate from large plate for sharing.

    Great food and drinks. Be prepared to wait anytime after 5:30 Had not been for sometime due to the popularity of people knowing the good is good and plentiful. Went Monday around 5:30 and did not eat until 1 1/2 hrs later. Luckily we were able to sit at the bar, ordered drinks. Bourbon old fashioned and a beer. Large beer selection including craft all in cans). You order entrees at the bar and when your food is ready they seat you Wife ordered the seared salmon and I had the frog legs. Hash browns come on a separate platter and were perfectly fried Service was attentive considering how busy it was.

    This dinner was a bit of a let down unfortunately! Maybe there was a new chef? It took us over an hour to get our food served. My hubby got a steak that was very poorly and unevenly cooked and my salmon was extremely underdone. The parmesan peppercorn dressing for the salad was tasty! The flavor on my salmon was very very good but again, was undercooked. The hasbrowns were good even tho the "cheese" is a slice of american cheese which just looks funny when it came out but did the trick. It was very busy inside and not a calm relaxing environment as the bar is quite large and right in the middle of the restaurant which has limited seating as it is. The place is always packed with cars so maybe this was a flook of an experience. The waitress was nice at least!

    Wow, what an interesting place...we met my college friends there for dinner on our way to Green Bay. They have you order your dinner at the bar and when your table is ready they set you and your salad and veggies are on the table waiting for you. They even had a pull table lottery machine too. I ordered the fried chicken and boy was it good. My friend had the pork filet, her husband had steak and my partner had the top sirloin. Everyone's entrees were so good. The baked potato my partner had was so hot it took 15 minutes before he could eat it. The rest of us had the hash browns and they were so good too. The place is far from fancy but the drinks are good and the food is solid!

    I took out dinner from here on a Friday. Food took about 50 minutes to be ready. Prices were reasonable and there was a lot of food. Pan fried chicken was my favorite item. It was fried crispy. Clam chowder was good as well. Hash browns didnt have flavor. Coleslaw was good, and there was a lot of it. Fried cod was ok. Clam chowder was a good soup.

    This was my first supper club experience! We walked in and I was shocked at the amount of people I saw at the bar! The place is popular for their old fashions! Everyone at the bar had one! I didn't have one but my husband said it was very good and cheap!! We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer to enjoy while sitting at the bar and they were good but the seasoning on them I wasn't a big fan of unfortunately. After a while we decided to order dinner! If it's your first time coming here, arrive early! The wait is long! We waited 45 minutes but it was okay because we just enjoyed drinks at the bar. You order your food and then you get called to your table when it's almost ready! Once we were called to our table, they had bread, veggies and our salads ready! It was all simple but tasted so good! Our steaks shortly came out and I was so pleased!! My steak had to be cooked medium well and they achieved it perfectly. It was still juicy, not dry! My husband's steak was also delicious! The baked potato was probably the best baked potato I've ever had! It was the perfect texture and I was obsessed! The staff were so nice and checked on us often! Despite the wait, it was so worth it! The prices especially! I highly recommend!

    Cheeseburger chowder very good

    is a TRUE old school supper club. Bar opens at 4pm and dinner service starts at 5. Prices are reasonable. They haven't jacked up the prices as many other area supper clubs have in recent years. Maybe this is why they're kept their loyal customer base. Either dine early or dine late to avoid the long wait for a table as they don't take reservations. Upon arriving you place your dinner order. Once a table is available you will be seated and your appetizer or soup/salad will be waiting for you along with relish tray that includes radish, carrots, celery, green onions and pickles. There is also a bread basket with fresh rolls and bread sticks and homemade cinnamon rolls. This gets better. Yep! Dinners include home made soup or salad and a side. The soup never disappoints and I recommend ordering the loaded baked potato which comes with cheese, a generous amount of bacon and green onions. A meal in itself. Tonights soup was chicken pot pie. Creamy, full of veggies, lots of chicken and a home made stock garnished with a pie crust wedge, I wanted seconds. The pan fried chicken was juicy, crispy and oh, so good. This is reason I come here. The pan fried blue gill, a generous portion, is the reason my husband readily says yes when I suggest we dine here. Of course we order the loaded baked potato as our side. The rail brandy old fashioneds are inexpensive and what you'd expect from a rail drink. It's part of the super club experience. In closing, it's with mixed feelings that I post this review. I love this place and want it to prosper. I actually want you to give it a try as truly is a treasure. On the other hand, I want you to stay away. Less customers means a shorter wait time. Call me selfish but I posted the review anyway. Enjoy your dining experience.

The patio is perfect in the summer, and the inside is warm and cozy in the winter. The food is consistently excellent. Their rotating specials are a huge highlight. Last night I had their fried chicken and it was outstanding -- the breading was crisp, light, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they put care into everything they serve. Their other specials like the Nashville chicken sandwich, ribs, and Friday fish fry are always worth checking out too. Desserts are always a win here, so I try to save room. Drinks are solid as well with plenty of beer and cocktail options. The only downside is parking. The lot fills up fast, so you may end up on the street if you arrive later. But honestly, the food and atmosphere make it more than worth it. Easily one of my favorite spots in Madison.

    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.

    Great Eastside find... other than the complete lack of parking. Great craft cocktails and…read morereasonable bar prices. The service was good and the place had a nice vibe.
