There is ample free parking in the lot next to the establishment. Plenty of seating at the bar and more seating in the dining area. Music playing at a level that still allows for conversation.

There always seems to be a fair number of regulars, which should be a good sign for anyone visiting. When we visit Fort Atkinson, we will surely return.

We decided to stop in Sun Prairie for a bite on our way from MKE to Madison, and ended up landing a…read moretable in the bar area here at Nitty Gritty. The immediate area, which is downtown Sun Prairie was super cool and cute. Lots of shared spaces and mixed use buildings that included the building Nitty Gritty sits in. There are a few Nitty Gritty's scattered across the Madison area, but my buddy recommended this location due to convenience. We popped in on night 2 of the NFL draft, which is why we bellied up to a high top in the bar area. Nitty Gritty is more sports bar than anything, but if the bar is not your scene, they have several dining spaces inside and out. We started with a couple of beers and cocktails, and while we reviewed the dedicated "birthday shot book", we decided to stick with standard drinks...but the birthday shot thing is apparently a big deal here! My buddy went local beer from the tap and I went gin & tonic. Bad call on my part, as even though that is a basic cocktail, this is not a cocktail bar. The drink was not good, so second round I went Spotted Cow as well. All was right in the world in that moment. For food, we went quintessential bar food with wings and burgers. My buddy got the Smokehouse Burger, which is their house-bbq burger served on Texas toast. He sided it with the fries and noted that both were decent, not great, but also not terrible. Both lacked seasoning, especially the burger patty itself. I opted for the wings, black and blue dry rub to be specific. The wings were good size and fried well, very crispy and meaty for a wing. The seasoning, while present, was not very flavorful. I expected a bit more from a Cajun based rub. Food wise, it was just okay. Service was a hit and miss throughout the evening. While the place was not busy, the service was a bit slow for the amount of staff we noticed. We waited on refills and re-orders a bit longer than normal, especially sitting the bar area. This location has been here for a while and it shows in parts of the building interior and exterior. While conditionally certain areas need some love, the spaces were all clean and well kept. Overall, Nitty Gritty was okay. Seemed like your standard local sports bar with mid-level food and service. With that being said, I may be interested in spending time here for a birthday given that shot book!

They were hot and cheesy with a nice crispy texture. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and chips it was okay. A bit dry though.

Their reports are the salmon was dry but the gritty burger was delicious. So moral of the story. Get a burger, that's what they do well.

The space is clean and spacious--the dining room is separated from the bar and I liked this. We didn't get apps but our drinks came quickly.

Anyway, I got a chicken sandwich and they got burgers--we all loved them! Fries as a side were great. Our server was kind and funny, the bathrooms were clean, I'd for sure go back.

We expect fresh, great food, and you have that in your bread, drinks, slaw, etc. The funky smelly weird cuts like breakfast steaks labeled "ribeye" and flat "filet" that have been sitting in the basement too long are symptoms of an owner that has given up. Clean out your walk in cooler, etc. Date everything. Double your steak prices and change suppliers if you have to. Please find the pride again. Wayside is a gem. Do better. We really love your staff, they're amazing.

Everyone was super friendly and we received our orders in a timely manner. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the prices. $20 for one piece fish dinner and a side seems like a lot to me! The wedge salad was HUGE and cost $10 to upgrade. It tasted great but could've used more dressing. The bread is a MUST order. For $5 you can't go wrong. If you add shrimp to your meal be warned they are GINORMOUS haha but tasty also. Overall, the vibes of the place were so great. I would definitely eat here again, and I would DEFINITELY get another dirty martini!! Also, stop by next door if you have time before or after your reservation. Awesome bar with welcoming people.
