Great Experience at Uptown Bar and Grill in Watertown WI…read more Stopped in to the Uptown Bar and Grill and was pleasantly surprised! The bar was busy and full of customers, but there were still plenty of tables available. It took a little while for the bartender/server to get to us because of the crowd at the bar, but it was well worth the wait. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. The fries and tater tots were cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and some of the best we've ever had! A nice personal touch was that the chef came out to check on us and make sure everything was good. The restrooms were also clean and well stocked, which is always appreciated. We'll definitely be back!

Quite sizable, it has tvs throughout with seating at the bar, high tops and tables. Solid beers on tap and a menu of what you expect at a bar-apps, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. Appreciate the fact they use never frozen beef for their (quite large) burgers and source local cheese. We started with some homemade mozzarella sticks wrapped in wonton wrappers. They were great and paired well with both the marinara and ranch sauces we ordered. The burgers we also ordered on point. With the option of pink or no pink, the burgers were chargrilled to order and as I mentioned above, substantial. Our bartender was great and checked in on us regularly. I'm not in Watertown much but wouldn't hesitate stopping in if ever back in the area.

The space is clean and spacious--the dining room is separated from the bar and I liked this. We didn't get apps but our drinks came quickly. They were pretty and my pals liked theirs--I thought mine was weak or not a lot of flavor but I don't really use yelp stars to rate taste as our taste buds are all different... Anyway, I got a chicken sandwich and they got burgers--we all loved them! Fries as a side were great. Our server was kind and funny, the bathrooms were clean, I'd for sure go back.

The pretzels come in 4 sticks and they must make them fresh there because they were so soft and painted with butter. Not the box kind. I wanted to take a picture of the curds but they were gone before I could. I got the plain chicken sandwich. I loved the fries, nice and hot and balance of salt. Wanted to save room for all of the desserts. We got the chocolate cake and pumpkin cheesecake. I was expecting a ridiculously large piece but they were kind of small. I will say, the perfect size for one person. We shared them between 4 of us. Will go back when we are in the area. Great pick! You will agree I am pretty sure ;)

They had Shiner Bock on tap (that was my chaser) and the Bloody's were delish! Pickle, mushrooms, beef stick and all the rest hit the spot. Looked at the menu and decided on a mushroom swiss burger. We didn't order a split, but the server was nice enough to bring us both a plate, and it was all divided up already! The burger was hot and fresh and the swiss cheese pull was on point. Fries were sour cream and onion wedges, split on our two plates as well. It's a neat little place with good/friendly service. Check it out on a road trip! Bonus- There are some nice deer heads in this place as well. As a hunter and WIsconsinite, I appreciate that. :)

We decided to stop in Sun Prairie for a bite on our way from MKE to Madison, and ended up landing a…read moretable in the bar area here at Nitty Gritty. 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!

They were hot and cheesy with a nice crispy texture. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and chips it was okay. A bit dry though. My husband had a Chicago dog, it was definitely not impressive and honestly it was sad. The girls had a salmon sandwich and the gritty burger. Their reports are the salmon was dry but the gritty burger was delicious. So moral of the story. Get a burger, that's what they do well.
