Decent/good food but it took 20 minutes before we placed an order, 20 additional minutes to get our drinks, and almost an hour to get our food. No check-in/update and tables were being turned in front of us (a party of 3). Cold onion rings, room temp curds. Would be good if they were hot. i love the patio

We previously came here with friends, ordered the Aristotle’s Dilemma and loved it. This time one side of the pizza was half empty and when we asked why, the server said they would talk to the kitchen. Didn’t hear anything further. $16 for a small pizza that is 1/3 empty is a joke.

Very cool local corner bar just one block off West Washington in Madison. Great location just off the square. Excellent selection of tap beers. Good bar food. Great wait staff. Gets really busy on game days. Fun atmosphere.

I really liked eating here. It is a bar setting so it was loud and there were lots of people. We also went the night of a uw-madison hockey game but they seemed well prepared and we didn’t have to wait too long. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it was good. Honestly there’s only so much you can do to a chicken sandwich. We also got cheese curds which were also good and not too greasy. We were seated outside which is all enclosed (because winter) but was still warm and cozy. Overall I would dine again!

First time visit. Service and food was excellent!! I had the Echo Burger which was super good. One hamburger patty and one brat patty plus two cheeses and other toppings. Can’t say enough about the burger except plan on taking some home especially if you try the awesome appetizers they have. My son and I will definitely be back!

My previous review got deleted due to a poor choice in language. But I had to come back to one-star this place. I could have a better experience watching grass grow than we had a few weeks ago. The staff could care less that they were running behind, not an apology or anything. I get that they’re just kids but come on. Food came cold too. Trash bar.

Went for a bit to watch the basketball game. Without the patio being open it was quite full and limited seating. The turkey blt was good and the onion rings were great! The pizza here is really good as well! Service was attentive and quick. It was pretty loud with the TV’s and people talking/yelling.

We came here on a Friday evening. We called ahead to place our order for take out. We reached in about 15-20 mins after placing our order and it was all set and ready to go. We had the tofu and walnut burger. The walnuts in the burger was fantastic as it added a nice crunch. The side of fries were great but the onion rings were way too greasy. Nevertheless, nice little place and friendly staff and quick service. The food was packed very well with the burger wrapped in an aluminum foil to keep it warm.

What an amazing brät! The cheese curds were hands down the best I’ve ever had – which is what my son said about them last week, which is how we ended up here tonight. Loved our server, Brock; fast and friendly service, and the food was just amazing. Absolutely amazing. We’ll be back (maybe even tomorrow ). Thanks for a great dinner experience! Again, kudos to Brock for attentive service and having a good sense of humor!
