★★★★☆ 4.0 Kevin Stafford · Feb 2026

I was in town for a coin show and decided to check a local place out for lunch. The burger was excellent. The fries were a little bland (beer battered ones). The service is a little odd, we stood at the food counter for some time watching a girl in the back as she just looked at us back. As a person that's never been there before, we didn't know if we should sit down, grab a menu and sit down, shout out an order etc. The place is cool and has a decent separation food from bar. Sports on TV, not a fan, lots of squeaky basketball shoes, would prefer that on mute and some music instead. Would return if in the area again. (Oh and a funny thing on bathroom wall haha)

Shady place. Came from about 5 hours away to see Morgan Jay and ate here. I paid, left a tip, and the screen at the counter went black. Girl behind counter said it didn’t go through so I did it again. Get home and a couple days later I see I’m double charged. Owners r supposedly the ones that can fix it but are never there and won’t return emails. My bank took it over and they now blocked the banks emails. lol. Good business practices there. Bank said they have never had this happen before where a “legit” business blocks them. So they got an extra $27 from me. I wouldn’t pay with a card if you’re going there.

This is one of the secret spaces in Madison. For a younger crowd this place can be the NIGHT OUT, but for people seeking a wonderful evening, a dank outing or even a lovely peruse, the FOOD at Hawks is amazing. Constant engaging evening specials, great staff- seriously- this place has great service and for kids, they meet more than the standard. Bar managers are excellent with customer service and I could be happier with the chefs and supporting staff. REALLY GOOD, try try try try. Favorite space for FIFA and friends.

Went on a busy Saturday night and sat at the bar. Our bartender Logan did a great job handling the crowds.

EAT HERE!!! I came for Taco Tuesday and these are the best tacos I’ve ever eaten. $6.95 and you can choose among the options. I chose grilled chicken, fish and jerk shrimp. The shell is outstanding and the tacos are incredible.
