If you are a boater, and boat Lake Kegonsa, then you know that summer there is not the same as fall. Springers used to be called Sunny Side. That's because it is on the North side of the Lake, and the patio seating needs umbrellas. In the summer it's very crowded, but still a lot of fun. They do a great job with the overflow. The bar area has a lot of seating for a bar, bartenders are prompt and serve pretty fast. The bar itself is shaped for maximum seating and service. There is a pool table in an area that usually serves as waiting area for people waiting for the dining room. It was a beautiful Saturday so we went for a late lunch. The bar menu is great. I had a burger, a Bison, Bore, Elk and Wagu burger. I didn't know how it should be cooked so I asked to have the chef decide. It was rare, and delicious. I do wish they sliced the onions in a thin round slab though, it's hard to pile on large chunks. I also had seasoned fries. My wife had a n amazing prime rib mushroom Swiss grilled sandwich. She also got their homemade chips which she always liked. Service was extra tip good. They also have a water cooler with ice outside so you can get your own at anytime. We drink a lot of water so we like that. Our beer was Tail Wagger. Sitting outside on the lake front is peaceful. We had a nice time and lingered a bit longer than usual. Even though it is getting colder out, this is the time of year we like to go. The bar food is worth sitting inside, lots of lake windows and perfect for rainy days and winter. We may try the dining room again. We find the food there isn't very consistent, so we will review it later.

The food was fresh and delicious, no one had a bad meal. The young servers were polite and helpful.

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!

We arrived promptly at 7 and waited in the lobby for someone to seat us. And waited. And waited. So I called the restaurant and told whoever was in the kitchen that we'd been waiting to be seated for about 15 minutes by then. Immediately our waitress came by and sat us at a table for two, too close to a British couple who gave us the stink eye (Sorry guv, I don't decide where patrons sit; also unlike you, I like to talk to my companion during dinner). There was a birthday party of 8 people and 4 other couples in the restaurant; a lot of empty tables. Our waitress told us that they were short staffed and our food would come only after an hour. She also told us about the 20% gratuity fee upfront which I appreciated. She said that drinks would come immediately but everything else would be a wait. She also said that they had quit allowing anyone else in because of the lack of help. So we did know about the problems beforehand. However, the one hour wait became close to two hours. The margarita I ordered made me tipsy because I was starving by then. They provided 2 little corn muffins that wasn't enough for a 2-hour wait. We had run out of things to talk. I knew there was no point in ordering appetizers because who knew when that would come out? So we waited and waited until all the others were served before our waitress came over to say that they were starting on our food. I had the fried fish - crispy, piping hot and delicious and the truffle fries - cold and limp. My partner had the burger - okay and the regular fries - not enough salt. We walked over to another table to find the salt shaker. At the moment I'd ordered my drink, I had also ordered the entrees and dessert to prevent further delays and so immediately after dinner we had the crème brûlée that was exquisite. We were so hungry that we finished up the ketchup, mayo and tartar sauce. Yeah, that was weird but hunger does that. Our waitress was very nice and comped the margarita because of the delay. I realize that staff shortage is an unfortunate fact of life in the restaurant business but perhaps management should have served complimentary snacks throughout while we were waiting? Even a bag of Lays potato chips from the local Pick 'n Save would have helped stave off hunger. I know that at least two other couples were mildly annoyed at the wait and though it's not the restaurant's fault, I wish that they managed the wait more efficiently.
