The restaurant is consistently busy, yet the staff provides prompt, friendly service with a smile.

With such a diverse and welcoming crowd, the Blue Spoon is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal or a drink!

It happened to be their anniversary and they had special pricing on beer and food. We tried their Nitty Burger that came with six ounce of ground chuck burger, secret gritty sauce, and honey wheat sesame seed bun. The burger was nice, juicy, and delicious. A pint of Warped Speed scotch ale from Lake Louie Brewing paired nicely with the burger. They do this thing where on your birthday you get a free pint glass with beer. We constantly saw people coming in and redeeming their birthday treat which kept the vibe of the place fun and festive. If you're in the mood for a good burger and a cold pint of a WI craft beer then checkout 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!

Every-time, we go to the Rock Sports Bar and Grille it's always a lively fun atmosphere with lots of patrons and a great way to meet friendly local people in the area! It's a great place to go especially in the summer time especially with the outdoor patio with a fire pit! This bar keeps patrons busy hosting several weekly events like pool leagues/tournaments, dart leagues, trivia nights, and more! My husband and I love their food! They mostly serve burgers, chicken wings, salads, and have great seafood options for their traditional Fish Fry Fridays! I love ordering their crispy fried chicken wings and always request them to be topped with their delicious irresistible Cajun seasoning which gives the wings a nice extra kick that is really satisfying! My husband and I enjoy many menu items such as the boneless wings, fried shrimp, and their sandwiches. I was also pleasantly surprised at how amazing their salads are. Their salads were a good portion size and fresh! As far as service, we have always received great service from the different bartenders working there and they make sure to take care of their customers!

Things only got worse when another person in our group ordered a sweet Old Fashioned--a classic Wisconsin drink--and Charlie responded with a disrespectful comment about how "you really are new at drinking- it's past 8 o'clock!" Giving a hard time for ordering a mixed drink. When we expressed our concerns about how we were being treated, the conversation became argumentative rather than constructive. The final straw was being told to the 26 year old- "I'll serve you, but I won't take responsibility if you get caught," despite no valid issue being identified with the ID. At that point, we decided to leave rather than continue the interaction! We will not be back! Never bring your family visitors to this bar.
