    Too big for the drive up window

    I'm surprised with the low reviews we stopping at lunch time the wait wasn't horrible the restaurant was clean and food was good. We got our order to go and we're satisfied with everything.

    Burgers

    This place has mid maintenance I saw like 2 or more big flies, the water tasted like tap water with a pinch Of salt unless you put ice, the burger looked like it came from a high school cafeteria has not much meat and bread is yellow lime, the only thing good here is free desert.

    Poor service and food. They deserve some leniency due to COVID, but even that is not enough. Food is worse than a regular fast food restaurant. Poor quality. Lettuce was stale and old. Ranch was expired, yet still served. They are trying to have people order up front and then seat them at a table to wait. This could be a good idea, but they are just making people angry. People have to wait in line to find out that they have to place their order immediately and if you aren't ready, you have to get out of line and then back in. There should be menus closer to the entrance and multiple signs saying what is happening. This way people can be more prepared and speed up the process. Oh, and you do not get the same menu options through drive through vs inside.

    Great service. Unfortunately my wife's breakfast was cold. Always hesitant to order off the menu at a buffet. Ham was tasty in my omelet.

    Their service is terrible. I've ate at the Madison Frisch's multiple times and I have yet to experience good service.

    Higher-end restaurant in Madison. We went out to celebrate my birthday and were able to get a…read morereservation for 3 just a few hours before we wanted to go. The place is a good size, volume was nice, they have both indoor and outdoor seating along with the bar, too. Our waitress was super nice, allowed us to modify our drinks a little and our meal. The only downfall was the food took forever to come. We were there for about an hour and a half from start to finish. Drinks were good, strong. The "grilled" Caesar salad was not grilled but honestly i preferred it that way. We got the chicken meal and it was phenomenal. The chicken, the potatoes, and the sauce were so good. The salmon presentation was beautiful and delicious!

    I was really excited to try this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. It's very rare we…read moreget to go out (with 3 young children and a baby on the way). So I was very selective about where I made our reservation. The menu looked amazing and I was looking forward to splurging on what I hoped would be excellent steak and seafood. We arrived on time and were immediately welcomed by kind staff. I was pleased to see a birthday card on the table for my husband signed by all their staff, such a nice touch! Our waitress Page was wonderful! She was very friendly and gave thoughtful recommendations on the food selections. The bartender was also awesome and made a special mocktail for me and specialty drinks for my husband's birthday. I could tell he loved his job and went the extra mile to make us great drinks. To start I ordered the roasted pear salad and scallops with grits. Considering the restaurant was relatively empty, the food service was very slow. However, my starters were both great quality and tasty. The problems didn't start until it was time for our entrees. They didn't arrive until about 30 minutes after we were done eating our appetizers, possibly longer. It felt like forever. But we could be patient for quality food. Unfortunately, that isn't what we received. I ordered the surf and turf with filet and lobster. I took one bite of my lobster and told my husband I had never been served bad lobster until that night. It was by far the worst tasting lobster I ever had. I initially thought maybe it needed more butter and was just a problem with seasoning. However, I took one additional bite which was still awful and stopped eating it completely. My husband took a bite of his lobster and immediately spit it out complaining of a strong ammonia smell. He thought there was cleaning solution in it and told me to look up on Google what that might mean. When I did I was unpleasantly surprised to find it meant the lobster was "spoiled and unsafe to eat". I had wished I hadn't eaten any of it being 5 months pregnant! It was the worst feeling. On a side note, my asparagus was overcooked and my husband's medium rare steak was well done. The horrible smell emanating from the lobster completely ruined the rest of the meal for me. I took my filet to go, but threw it away once we were home fearing it might be contaminated. If this review was based on the service/staff bartender and general manager it would easily be 5 stars. The general manager who I believe is Emily was really kind about the bad bad experience with our entrees and did comp several items from our tab. However, I really just wanted an amazing meal and celebration for my husband. Instead I had to worry about spoiled/unsafe to eat seafood and if that might harm my baby. In a restaurant with prices like this one, you'd expect fresh seafood. It's hard to imagine the chefs could miss the horrible smell from our cooked lobster. I really hate leaving a bad review because the service and staff really were amazing. However, I've seen too many Gordon Ramsay shows where he inspects restaurant kitchens and am really strict about food safety and quality. It should be every restaurants main concern that their food is safe to eat. I would never choose to eat at a fine dining establishment which served spoiled/smelly seafood.
