★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Montan · Dec 2025

Was a little tough finding street parking on a Friday in middle of December but we found a metered spot after a little looking. The decor of this restaurant along with the atmosphere were very inviting with lots of historical items from the city on the walls which I always love. Service was fast and friendly without being too much which we appreciate very much. I chose the pub burger with a side of the coleslaw and that decision was proven to be perfect. They do their coleslaw in house and definitely had the unique twist on it with finely shredded cabbage and veggies. The burger was exceptionally perfect on the juiciness factor and that garlic sauce on it absolutely enhanced the flavor beyond comprehension. We'd love to come dine here again!

This is the spot. It is worth the hype. Being the best burger in Madison is clear. Strong contender for the best burger anywhere. It helps that service is always awesome, beer is great, inviting atmosphere, and the list goes on.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jacqueline Marie · Jul 2025

Started with the fried mushrooms, then got the turkey burger + sweet potato fries. The BEST burger anywhere hands down. I can't describe how amazing it was, you just need to try it for yourself! Also the sauces were on point. Awesome beer selection, our fave was the Spotted Cow -- crisp, refreshing and light enough to enjoy with our meal. Service was so friendly and super attentive. 20/10 experience 👌

We ordered Melting Pot- and Veggie- burgers, along with drinks and an appetizer of Mac & Cheese Wedges. Everything tasted good, but we found the portion of Mac & Cheese Wedges to be a little too small for the price. The restaurant was busy for a weekday afternoon, so we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Service was ok.

Tried this burger spot and really enjoyed it! 🍔 -The “Cheese Curds” were a hit—crispy and tasty. - My husband had the “Heart Throb Burger”, a spicy combo with Pepper Jack cheese (minus smoked bacon) and their signature Heart Throb Sauce—he loved it, especially the sauce! - I went for the “Homemade Spicy Veggie Burger”, the bean patty was flavorful, though not spicy to me. I also added grilled onions, tomatoes and lettuce to my burger. The Baja sauce was a bit light, so I added their English Garlic sauce—which was absolutely yum! Definitely a must-try!
