    menus on the wall
    Robert F.

    We love Panera and we love our sip club membership! We've visited three dozen locations in eight states in the last nine weeks on our road trip. We ordered in the app and grabbed our cups when we walked in.. then proceeded to fill them with caffeinated deliciousness. This location was super busy when we arrived and super dirty, there was dirty dishes piled high on every bus station both inside and outside (see picture). The few tables that were empty were dirty. Maybe they're short handed, or maybe they didn't schedule enough people? We enjoyed our delicious coffee.

    Caramel latte extra whip cream

    I was expecting less but that's more then less seems to be the left over from the last pot, service is good just caught me off guard as soon as I opened it, it seem to be already drunk.

    Bacon avocado melt NOT toasted or melted.
    Shawna L.

    I went here paid over 50.00 and the man Joshua helped me at the counter. The food was not right so it got sent back twice. They did not toast the sandwich and also gave me cold hard bacon on it. The second sandwich we had I paid extra bacon and it had small chopped up bacon that was so salty I could not even eat it. The broccoli and cheddar bread bowls were great. They also forgot my strawberry lemonade. The women was very rude behind the food counter. The place was clean and nice looking. I'm really upset I spent over 50.00 and we only ate the bread bowl because the rest was so overpowering with salt.

    Mac and Cheese
    Jonny P.

    Pretty good place! The Mac and Cheese was as expected, amazing. I love their Chicken Caesar salad was great as well. The tables are kept clean as well as their floors too. It seems like they are pretty organized when it comes to keeping things sanitized. This is the second time I've come here and it hasn't disappointed. Giving a 4 star because all Paneras are quite similar so there isn't anything unique about them. All in all, the staff is friendly and I would come here again.

    That what advertized
    Andy C.

    That is completely rebuild building in the same location. I'm pretty sure that is management decision to save everything... On photo is avocado melt AFTER I complained. First one was almost only bread.... Place is not up to Panera standard...

    They were out of bread when we stopped for dinner at about 7pm. Bread is in the name of the business, how do you run out of bread???

    The service was fast, and the food was good can't complain really about that. Though they tend to mess up orders a few times.

    Consistently poor/slow service and messed up orders. More than once, it has been unbearably smoky in the dining area. What's up with that?

    This stylish bakery and cafe is a great place for lunch or dinner…read more I had the golden beet Reuben with sauerkraut on their caraway rye bread, which was absolutely delicious! This is a great vegetarian sandwich - I'm not sure if it can be made vegan. The kid's turkey sandwich is really nice and comes on a freshly baked roll with a generous side of fresh fruit-it doesn't come with mayo or another spread, so you might want to ask for. The bread was delicious and I was sad, but not surprised, there were almost no loaves left for purchase. The only negative was the greens served with the sandwich. The mixed greens were fresh, but had almost no dressing or any other veggies or toppings included.

    Date of visit: January 25, 2026…read more This was highly-rated by fellow Yelpers and a quick two-block drive from our hotel, so we were anxious to see what Madison Sourdough had to offer. Staff were very friendly, especially Onah R at the register. And the treats that we took home were fantastic: - Chocolate Chip Cookie. Slight crunch on the rim and then soft on the inside. - Molasses Cookie. The same as chocolate chip, but even better with a thick chewy center that I didn't want to end. Kouign Amman - Not as good as what we had in Paris, but a solid entry! Unfortunately, breakfast was not their strong suit. My Croque Madame was dry, and the bread was just too thick to enjoy as a sandwich, I had to open it up to be able to eat it. My husband went with the biscuit sandwich and that too was dry from what I had as I helped him finish it. On the plus side the Banana Caramel Latte was a winner. Would definitely come back for the treats, just not breakfast!

The turkey was a hot sandwich while the classic was a cold. The location itself is small, feels like a hole in the wall bar with great cozy vibes. We were lucky enough to bike over on a nice day and so we sat in the outdoor space which is also small but got the job done before we were back on our bikes with happy bellies. We will definitely be revisiting so we can try more of the menu!

    I thoroughly enjoyed myself here, that being said, on par with some of the lower reviews - they did…read morerun out of the pork belly sando, they charge for everything extra, and service was pretty slow. But if you were open to just having a nice casual dinner in a retro easy place, this is it. My fiance and I went to meet up with some friends from out of town and from a list of places I wanted to try, they chose this one. Between the two of us, we spent about $60 for this meal, which I suppose now adays is on par with what you can get away with. We also left with half a sandwich because honestly, these guys are huge! -Hot Beef Sando with Cheese (extra): this was a massive sandwich, packed with flavor. The ah jus was on the side and needed for dunking. It hit the spot, was a messy affair, but was very good. The meat wasn't melt in your mouth, it was actually quite dry, but the mix of everything together and the dip made it good overall. - Chili Cup: well spiced, super small cup and charging a dollar for each addition of onion, cheese, and sour cream is murder. Pass on the fixings, the soup doesn't need it, but it's not something i'd get again as it wasn't knock out of the park good. -Homemade Orange Soda: this was great. I love the nostalgia of using Tang and it was more earthy because they put some spices in it. Overall, would get again. -Coleslaw was asian inspired and made well, especially with the mint on top. Be warned though, its the same slaw on the pulled chicken...which speaking of: -Pulled chicken sandwich: It's their meat americanized fusion version of a banh mi. I know they have a vegan one on their menu, but this one felt less like a sandwich. The spices weren't quite asian tho and was interesting with the slaw. I wouldn't say it was my favorite but I did eat a whole half. Happy nomming!

    We absolutely loved the immersive experience at Nook! The shared dining experience was social but i…read morewas still able to have conversation with the person I came with. We could tell a lot of thought went into the design and flow of the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented, flavorful, and full of creative twists on classic favorites. Like the strawberry tomato soup and the corn blueberry ice cream. The bison and other meat dishes were perfectly done and high quality. t's clear that the chefs take pride in crafting dishes that are both inventive and approachable, with local ingredients. I was also happy to find out they'll box up any courses you can't finish, which is great if you want to plan ahead for what to eat and what to take home. Already hoping I can get a reservation to go back.

    I have been WAITING to come here and I was not disappointed. Honestly, if you want to try Nook (and…read moreyou should if you can) I would go in with no expectations and just experience it -- meaning stop reading this review after the first paragraph because it might give some spoilers. To start, reservations. They open a few months in advance at midnight on the first of the month... sucks for anyone not usually up at midnight but worth it. I locked in my reservation date at 12:03am, a coworker was also trying to get a reservation for the same month and it was sold out by 12:06am when he tried. So, know your date ahead of time, click refresh constantly starting at 11:59pm, and Godspeed! Now to my experience. I'm not usually wild about the 12course restaurants you see in Chicago or New York. The space is uppity, the people are obnoxious, and the food is... usually just fine. This is truly a Madison and a Wisconsin spin on that pretentious kind of environment, and it is so down to earth. It's a personal experience with the chef and staff that you can't get in the big city. They explain each meal and often would tell you where the ingredients came from nearby... sometimes the chef's backyard. There is one seating per night at 6:30pm and everyone is sitting together. The plates are served individually to each person, and technically there are six 2-person tables assembled together about 3-4 inches from one another to make a sort of single long table. I'd sort of been picturing one single long table, but this worked just fine. My party of 2 was near the middle, so it was fun to be able to have some inclusion on conversations on both side of the table.  And the food. Wow. Continuing the Wisconsin spin on a 12 course (this being 13 course) meal, these are not tiny plates. While each one is not a solo big meal, they are larger than I expected and I was legitimately full after course #4. And we hadn't even gotten to the "mains" at that point! They do box parts of the meal up for you if it's conducive to leftovers. That gave me dinner the next night as well. So pace yourself, and if it's something that would function as leftovers, try it and move on. I did the wine pairing with it, and they were also generous pours (9 of them) -- consider an Uber. I'm not a wine-o, but I figured when in Rome.... go all out. The wines actually did complement each meal really well.  This is a unique experience of fine dining you WILL not get at the fancy restaurants. If you are a foodie, this is a must. It's super low key, come as you are. We had people at our table in hooded sweatshirts and people in nice dresses as if they were ready for the symphony. All were welcome and nobody was judged. The chef is hilarious, the staff is so much fun and I was laughing constantly. They are truly part of the experience almost as much as the food itself. If this in in your budget, it is worth the stress of getting a reservation. Bravo. Oh, and if it's not obvious -- yes, the food is incredible.
