Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Madison

Todd M. • November 22, 2014The key to eating Indian food is going to buffets. This one is top-notch. It has all the standards, plus a lot of other solid choices. Multiple breads, including two naans! Reasonably priced as well.

Taiowa W. • December 27, 2022Excellent pastries and bread. I recommend grabbing a croissant and coffee and sitting down in the cafe. Then grab a loaf of sourdough on your way out. There are also excellent sandwhiches.

Nick R. • January 31, 2015Pork abd beans with the salmon at Sunday brunch are fantastic! Great bloody Mary's. All around best brunch I've found in Madison.

Daniel W. • June 1, 2016Detroit style pizza pie and decor so fresh you'll forget you're in the Midwest

Dave S. • August 28, 2014The open-flame, brick oven adds an incredible smoky char flavor to the wonderfully chewy, delicious thin crust. An authentic Neapolitan pizza for a great price. Can't go wrong.

Aaron F. • June 26, 2010Be sure to try the swordfish and ribs combo

John B. • September 29, 2017We came (thanks to all the tips) for the late night menu. It didn’t disappoint! Great snacks at a really affordable price. Get the French Onion Soup!

Shayla M. • February 28, 2012The #20 salad with cherries is my favorite! The cheese curds are some of the best curds I've had in Wisco too!

Dave S. • August 5, 2016This is the best coffee shop in Madison. Great location. Awesome, open-air concept. Delicious coffee. Solid wi-fi. Cozy seating arrangements.

Corey J. • February 10, 2015The rotating selection of specialty pizzas are the star of the show at Sal's.👍

Dave S. • June 24, 2015Best value for a juicy, perfectly cooked steak in all of Madison. Not as swanky as the places around the Capitol Square, but still excellent service in a supper club environment.

William • January 23, 2010Everything on the menu is fantastic, if this is your cup of tea.

Jeff B. • April 29, 2013Of all the hype that can surround BBQ (Especially coming from Texas), please note that I believe this is the best BBQ anywhere. Simple, spicy, sweet, fresh, lean, and no lines. Though there should be.

Colin S. • September 30, 2016Definitely one of the best cups of coffee in Madison. Rotating featured roasters, with a regular smattering of Ruby and Kickapoo. You can't go wrong. Don't miss this place.

Alexey • February 24, 2017Amazing place for dates and romantic dinners. Very fancy interior (esp. for Madison). Lasagna and pasta entries are incredible. The only drawback of this place is its cost but it is def-ly worth it.

Raja S. • July 28, 2015Pan cakes and omlets, but best part is watching the small jets take off and land. Kids will enjoy !!

Stephen M. • March 16, 2015Best burgers in town. Make sure to order a side of the garlic sauce for your burger or fries.

Corinne • April 16, 2014Their Bloody Mary is wonderful! 25 ingredients including puréed cucumber, carrot & celery feels almost healthy to drink!

Mary M. • November 30, 2014Get the deep fried cheese curds, the bibimbap and really any of their seasonal speciality cocktails.

Vesper V. • September 24, 2013Om nom nom! So good. Hand tossed with extra mozzarella and garlic on top. Mmmhmmm.

Libby F. • January 6, 2013I love to order the Pesto Cavatappi with Shrimp and the Pasta Fresca with the seared chicken. So good! I eat their once to twice a week!

Craig L. • March 8, 2013If you like adventures in brews, The Malthouse beer board has lots of good choices! Check out Maerdsous Oud Bruin!!
