Yup - Check this joint out. If Yelp asks if it's "divey" - it is. But it's worth the detour or…read moreexcursion to the Town of Dane. So if you're on the way back from Devil's Lake or Circus World or Wollersheim Winery, just go. It's a one room classic Wisconsin Tavern. It's clearly a locals joint. Don't be intimidated by the row of Harley's parked in front of the door. Everyone in the place was nice, down right friendly.... and I'm guessing there is a regular flow of recreational bikers coming and going. The bartender knew just about everyone there except for us. But we'll be back. The fresh burgers and bacon comes from the Lodi, one town over, and you can tell it's fresh and local. Prices are extremely reasonable. Of course there's a full bar with about five beers on tap and an ample supply of bottled beers including local favorites. But it's the burgers I'll be back for. So take the field trip and check out Tootsies. Seek out the out of the way local joints during your summer travels.

Menu is very limited, but that didn't matter to us. We were going to check out the burgers. Hamburger with a slice of raw onion, two bacon cheese burgers (their specialty) with a slice of raw onion and a side of fries, and a veggie wrap rounded out our order. Burgers were a good size and cooked well. Meat was coarse grind which we like. Fries were nothing special but came hot to the table. The wrap was underwhelming. Service was friendly. Food was better than average but place needed a good cleaning, especially the cooking grill and back room which was visible. 4 stars is generous. Likely not return until cleanliness is addressed.

We looked over the menu and decided to try it. We were not disappointed! They seated us immediately (I did make a reservation), and Alex, our server, greeted us right away. Her tableside presentation was great, and her menu knowledge spot on. The food was delivered hot and precise (I'm guessing they use position numbers), and Alex did her check back to make sure everything was correct. The chef and staff did a wonderful job. Each of our choices was delicious. My son's favorite fish is salmon, and the cedar plank preparation hit the spot. My lovely bride wanted comfort food on a cold winter night, and the beef stroganoff filled that request nicely. I had their Catch of the Week, and I'm very happy I could get a really good cioppino in the Midwest. It gave this native Californian a nice taste of home. We visited the Waunakee location, and plan to return often. Thanks for the experience. Buck & Honey's!

We had the Cheese Smashburger, Fried Chicken sandwich and fried calamari. We both upgraded to add French fries. I should've stayed with the bag of kettle chips. It was a lot of food. Everything was very good! We also had a Tropical Stout and a Pineapple Lychee Vanilla Fruited Seltzer. They have very nice outdoor area to sit, a small indoor seating area and bar. The first man to take our order was not friendly and a little rude. The man who checked us out was much friendlier! They have some very fun flavors on tap.

They also serve food but we did not try any while we were there.

I left hubby with no option other than stopping for lunch or at least ordering some food to go. I lived in Kansas as a teenager and fondly remember discovering bierocks and later making them for my own family. I wish we were locals because not only are the bierocks good, but this place has a fun vibe that would definitely bring us back. It was a game day when we stopped, and there was a fair crowd cheering on their favorite Wisconsin team. We ordered a Classic with Bavarian seasoning and a Rosemary Lamb Bierock to go along with some jalapeño poppers. I really enjoyed the Classic with the additional seasoning. It gave it an added boost of flavor. My husband was pleased with the Rosemary Lamb. Each came with chips and a pickle. Next time, I hope we can stop in and stay for a cocktail or craft beer as well.

We did get comped one meal due to the fact that an entire meal for our son wasn't made and we had to wait another 15 minutes for it to be cooked. Overall, I'd like to try this place again to see if it can regain some stars and my confidence in the service.

I like that the employees are always friendly, and this might be related to the fact that it's an employee owned cooperative. And you can always count on a seldom played 80s and 90s song playing on the loudspeakers while you're pumping your gas. Their car washes are also really good and efficient. And we stop here for milk on the go sometimes. Fast and easy for my Sun Prairie existence. I'm docking them a star because unless you've been living under a rock, styrofoam cups are kind of not cool. Switch to paper cups for hot beverages and I'll revisit the rating.

Things I like: * Cheap bananas, potatoes and onions at 38 cents per pound. * A nice (though rather pricey) selection of groceries, so if I need something after the local grocery store closes, I can usually find it here * It is one of two RedBox locations in town * The store is clean and well lit * The always have multiple registers open, so I rarely wait in line for more than a minute * The cashiers are generally friendly * While not my first choice in coffee, they keep their coffee fresh * The kids are a fan of the slushies * They are open 24 / 7 They often have daily specials on pizza, burgers, hot dogs, etc., but I find the quality of these items near inedible.
