We started with the relish tray which had some unique items (tried our first pickled beet egg). The homemade potato chips and ranch were really good. Would have loved one green item (veggie) on the tray, but obviously that's just personal preference. We had friendly and efficient service. The haddock was excellent. The homemade tartar sauce was also delicious, and the simple fries were the perfect accompaniment. The fish fry came with biscuit that was not good or edible, and the coleslaw wasn't our favorite although some people would probably love the unique flavorings. We were seated in the bar, which was lively and full. If we return again for a date night, I would ask to sit in the dining room.
So the two stars are for excellent full service at the bar and one rather good appetizer. Everything else gets a zero their "Ancho margarita stereo" with ancho chili liqueur suggests a spicy margarita. It is not. It is rock candy flavored with agave. It was sweeter than my wife's rail Margarita on the rocks with salt. Their French onion soup is arguably the worst I've ever had. Flavorless. Slightly warmer than room temperature and the cheese was barely melted yet alone browned. Their appetizer of pork belly Fundido was the best option of the evening. Flavorful delicious and filling it was fantastic. However, the $40 pork chop entrée was unpalatable. Describe as a pork chop topped with a strawberry barbecue sauce. The sauce had no strawberry flavor. The pork chop can hardly be described as a grilled pork chop and is better described as a salt brine soaked Virginia ham warmed topped with watered down sweet baby rays barbecue sauce. Honestly. You could take this cut of meat, put it in a wooden box in the woods and use it as a salt lick stand during deer season. It was disgusting as much as it was dehydrating. The accompanying mac and cheese was basically Kraft dinner topped with panko. The highlight was the summer squash and that's saying a lot as it was nothing special and for crying out loud-it's squash. My wife and I could not stomach finishing more than half the entree between us and left. I repeat. The servers at the bar were great. But nearly everything brought in front of us disappointed.
Decided to finally try out the Turnkey. The ambiance was 10/10 and certainly had the old school super club feel. The brandy old fashioned...again, another 10/10. French Onion Soup was 9/10. Not hard to mess up soup really. Now for the rest of the food...uggg. We had the prime rib. The flavor was way too smoky and overpowering on the rub. Outside was too fatty and texture of ash. We also asked for crispy hash browns. No clue what the cook or server was thinking. It was completely burnt. Maybe they thought the dim lighting would hide it!? It also looked like a cheap square hash brown and likely was deep fried in the same oil as the fish. Fish log anyone ? The "charred broccoli" tasted like lighter fluid. I rarely spit food out, but that was in my napkin in a nanosecond. We will be back for drinks, but it will be a long time on the food. Sorry
Head breakfast at Turn Key on Madison's East side. Food was Ok, service was fast & friendly. Their parking lot is huge and they have an event hall upstairs. The old building is super cool & interesting: This former office building is the last remnant of a twenty-acre complex called the Fuller & Johnson Manufacturing Company. In 1880, John A. Johnson and Morris E. Fuller purchased a small plow manufacturing company and soon renamed it Fuller & Johnson. Within a few years, the two bought an old factory building at the corner of E Washington Avenue and Dickinson Street and, by 1885, it "was the largest and most conspicuous enterprise in Madison." The company's chief product was the "Bonanza Prairie Breaker" plow; however, the company also manufactured other farm machinery. Also in 1885, the company built the main block of the extant office building with other sections being built in 1889 and 1909. In 1900, the company began to manufacture small, general-use gasoline engines, which became its main focus when the company sold its farm machinery line. The company remained in business until 1929. During its tenure, the firm was a leader in employee benefits. Specifically, it offered low-rent housing to employees and had profit sharing with supervisors. The building's next occupant was the Credit Union National Association, Inc., which utilized the building into the 1950s. ^^ from the Wisconsin Historical Society
Great location, easy parking, and cool vibe inside. My dining companion and I each ordered the fish fry. It was OK. The only option is fried and the batter was very thick. The coleslaw was OK, the fries were OK but the herbed biscuit was very different than expected and super yummy.
Decent service and space. Our server was nice and we received most of our food in a timely manner, some of it was a bit slow but the drinks came quickly. The prime rib was decent, not too dry but a little salty. The Mac and cheese was okay, pretty creamy. Most of the food was just lukewarm, which contributed to the lower rating
We have been wanting to try Turn Key for awhile now and I can't believe we waited so long! We loved the warm, cozy vibe, especially the vintage lighting and unique decorations that gave the space so much character. We started off with the Pepper Mary and an old fashioned , the Bloody Mary was one of the best Bloody Marys I've ever had, lots of flavor. The entrees were generously sized and we had leftovers. We tried the Chicken Charchanski and the Prime Rib. The Chicken Charchanski was flavorful and reminded me of a take on chicken schnitzel. The Prime Rib was great, very tender. We were lucky to get the last one of the night! My only regret was not ordering a horseradish side with it. The Mac and cheese side was also wonderful and a must try.
Turn key has a great date night ambiance and some really interesting takes on supper club fare. I tried the chips and dip which was delicious, the chips were not too oily and the dip was fresh and tasty. The charred carrots were so delicious and had a really unique flavor to them. Also really enjoyed their turtle sundae for dessert! Drinks were tasty and service was excellent.
We had brunch here this morning because my step-son got my husband and I a gift card. We had high expectations, but were disappointed. My husband's biscuits and gravy were good but the potatoes were served cold, as well as his pocket pancake. I ordered the corned beef and eggs. That didn't turn out well at all. Almost half the corned beef was just chunks of fat and was warm at best. Worst I've ever had short of something out of a can. We have some $$ left on the gift card so will try again for dinner. Just telling it like it is.
Came for the Friday night fish fry the first Friday of Lent. We got lucky and there was a table open immediately. Not long after the place started to fill up quickly. The fish fry this day was two pieces of haddock. The french fries were the thinner kind that St Peter's in Ashton also does which I like. The fish has a light beer batter and was pretty solid. I wasn't that big on the tartar sauce, I like when it has more of a zing to it. It could be the lighting but it seems like maybe it had a touch of chipotle? The herbed biscuit is a unique touch here.
We came here for a Friday Fish Fry. We were grabbing a drink at the bar and decided to just eat at the bar. We got there early, probably around 4:30 or 5:00 pm, and it wasn't crazy busy yet. By the time we left, it was packed and the bar was standing room only. Overall, it was a good fish fry with good drinks. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. I had their house Old Fashioned first, and I was not a fan. They were able to make me a classic Old Fashioned next and that was fantastic. They also had a really yummy looking Mocktail list which I always appreciate. But on Fish Fry Fridays I get to cheat. The fish was yummy, good French Fries, fun little biscuit that came with it. I ordered a Brandy Alexander for dessert (like I said, it was a cheat night... go big or go home)... I said I wanted it thick like you eat with a spoon. It was definitely a straw only milkshake type drink. Still delicious, just not the vibe I was going for. I'd come back here for fish fry, but I'd recommend coming earlier rather than later.
Stopped in for some drinks before a concert that was canceled due to weather. ended up weathering the storm there and had the prime rib special for dinner. It did not disappoint. It was very tasty. The prime rib French dip not pictured was also very delicious. The horseradish really makes the meal. Our server was very laid-back and attentive. For dessert ending the meal with a champagne cocktail with a sugar cube was a nice way to end the meal. The decor of the menus being in various books located near your table is a very cool way of looking at a menu. Next time I come I will be excited to try some of the other dessert cocktails that they offer vegan options.
[Turn Key Wisconsin] A local gem in Wisconsin that gives off this old rustic cabin x diner vibe. Its got some creative takes on these classic comfort dishes. It's interesting since its like nothing around the restaurant however once you walk in, it is so busy. Both casual and date night dining Steak Au My Cheese Puppies Holy Moly Ravioli Burger Looks like some sort of pasta The vibes were so good. The food was amazing however the food took forever to come out. I think to the point where they were about to close and we came in about 2 hours before. The ambiance was very good, very busy. Overall 7.5/10, due to just the wait time or else it would've been close to a 10. https://www.turnkeymadison.com 1344 E Washington Ave Madison, WI 53703
The self serve Bloody Mary garnish bar was 100% worth it for brunch. They had meat sticks, pickled eggs, pickled veggies, hot sauces, etc. It was basically an appetizer. Food was also very tasty. Service was friendly and there was a large parking lot. Would definitely visit again if in the area! read more

This is a nice supper club that is away from downtown and has parking. We were sat in their main dining room but apparently theirs an upstairs I don't know if that is for parties or the public though and then the have a large bar area. The area is very moody lighting and even has small lamps on each table. Our server and staff were great and everything came out timely. We got an old fashioned and a sangria. The sangria is strong but you won't know it until you stand up. We started with the cheese puppies and they had a fantastic pull to them. Some of the best version of cheese curds I've had in a while. My husband and I both had salads and the bowl was too small for the salad but it was a decent salad I do wish the cheese was sprinkled on top as it ended up going to the bottom of the bowl. For an entree I had steak frites. Fries were solid and the cooking of the steak was good with the charcoal but it didn't have much flavor. The chard on the side was also good considering I've never had it. For dessert we had the valentine special chocolate cake and again it was good but nothing super special. We didn't stick around the bar too long but enough to get a winning pull tab. I would come back for the bar tenders they seemed chill. read more

The sign on the door says "supper club" -- it's not, but it's also a great restaurant with a funky vibe and a solid drink and food menu. Make sure to have a reservation. We made one online and were quick seated when we arrived. The vibe is quirky, with a hodgepodge of decor, a mix of thrift shop meets north woods urban industrial restoration. When it came time to order drinks and food we were not disappointed. Everyone loved their cocktails, especially their take on a brandy old fashioned. I had an NA cocktail which was great. We ordered hushpuppy curds and the grilled carrots for starters. The curds were a bit underwhelming, more breading than cheese, and the breading was loose so all the cheese melted out. THE CARROTS, however, were absolutely delicious. For entrees, most of our group got the Friday fish fry special. I had the trout, which was cooked excellently (proper crispy skin, delicious herby sauce, and a delicious vegetable hash. We decided to order dessert -- the menu looked good. We opted for the pistachio pudding pie. It was disappointing. The flavors were good but the crust was thin and the custard was over-set (too much stabilizer or over-baking turned it into rubber). Next time we will skip dessert. The service was excellent throughout. There was even a shift change in the middle of our dinner and the staff didn't miss a beat. Overall, it was a fun experience. We will be back, even despite a couple of menu misses. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for the Thursday date night and it was an amazing deal. We got SO much food for $60. The house white wine was very good, along with the relish tray. I loved the chips, radishes, and green goddess sauce. My boyfriend had the prime rib sandwich and loved it, he thought it was delicious. I had the walleye po' boy which was very good, but I wish there was more fish and less fries. For dessert we shared the butter cake, which could have been more moist. The place was very cute and the service was good, they probably could've been more attentive with the timing of the food as we got our entrees while we were still eating the appetizer. read more
Turn Key is situated in a rustic old brick building, which was so quaint and has that charm. When you enter there are two rooms separated from the right being the bar sitting area, and the left is an open space with booths and tables. We sat at the end of the hall with our group. The menu, upon first glance is not overwhelming or contains so many options, just a few selections. We opted for the Cheese puppies (which are fried cheese curds), beets salad, and the charred carrots for apps. They were delicious and were a perfect started. Especially the cheese curds, they were basically little fried cheese balls, who can resist that! (unless you are lactose intolerant). For my main, I opted for the trout, I loved that the skin was so crispy and cooked perfected. Especially for being a thin fish, I am always worried of overcooking this, but it was perfect. Albeit there were croutons on the bottom of the fish, which I think could've been something else. Croutons? It was also very soggy, could not finish. Overall, enjoyed my experience, service and food here. With the exception of the croutons in my trout main course. PS- Pictures are so funky, when our main dishes arrived the restaurant turned on this red lighting so it made our entrees and dessert so red! read more
I was actually shocked to see some of these lower reviews on this place. The vibe was cozy, like a supper club should be. Pretty lively on a Saturday night. Seated promptly. Service was good. Lots of parking in the back so definitely NOT an issue. We started off with the cheese curd puppies. Not overly heavy and they were huge in size! I ordered the boneless pork chop and it was delicious. So flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were great-not mushy at all! I'm glad I got the side salad to accompany the fullness of this meal. The cook on it was great! I would definitely come back. People complain about a limited menu, but IMO, I'm about quality over quantity. I shared the apple butter rum cake-I fully understand desserts are supposed to be sweet but a little on the more indulgent side. The vanilla ice cream cuts some of the sweetness. read more

I was there for dinner on a weekday. I was there early. The place was empty at that time. Charred carrot was my favorite. Carrot was soft and flavorful with some cranberry and tomato sauce. I also went for a keys burger. The burger was very flavorful with a ton of garlic butter. Bun was soft. Fries were crispy. read more
My friend and I were in town for work and were so glad we ended up choosing Turn Key. Not only was parking behind the building a breeze (a true gift in Madison with all the construction), but we got seated right away at about 6pm on a Tuesday evening. I loved the ambiance and intimate, cozy feel of the place. Also LOVED that it wasn't too loud. It was so easy to chat and have a great conversation without screaming across the table. I went with the rainbow trout and it was to die for. It was served with the skin but came off easily and was cooked perfectly without being over seasoned. The bed of also perfectly cooked cauliflower and asparagus (cut into lovely bite sized pieces) with the sauce was truly amazing. Our server was fantastic and even after nearly 3 hours of sitting at the table he didn't make us feel rushed. I've found my new favorite spot in Madison! read more

My goodness, yes, 1000 times yes. Was in Madison and looking for a spot for dinner. We consulted our Old Fashioned passport (because might as well get bogo old fashioned cocktails with our meal!) and found this spot. Consulted Yelp and with a 4.5 star average, we knew we found our dinner place. Ordered our old fashioned cocktails first. Theirs is a beautiful blend of rye and brandy. Initially I asked if I could have it exclusively rye but found that they pre-batch their old fashioned cocktails. I'm so glad they didn't adjust! The mix of rye, Korbel, orange, cherry, and maple was an unexpected delight. We dubbed it one of the best old fashioned cocktails we've had on our passport tour thus far. For a starter we opted for their party time relish tray. It was a delightful assortment of turnips, radishes, brussels sprouts, cabbage, house made potato chips, and a couple of dipping sauces (a deviled egg dip and a beautifully dilly ranch). If it doesn't sound good--then I've not done it justice. Everything was so fresh and absolutely bursting with flavor. Their house made chips were delicately thin with just the right amount of crisp and salt. For my main, I opted for their squash toast. It was also incredibly flavorful. It was definitely a fork and knife sort of meal--with a wonderfully chewy rustic bread covered in chopped squash and other seasonings and sauces. It was outta this world. We decided to end the evening by sharing a warm chocolate chip cookie. It tasted straight out of the oven, had tons of chocolate chips and a beautiful sprinkling of sea salt on top. Truly, from drink, to app, to main, to dessert--an exemplary experience all the way around. Get to it! read more
My husband and I came here for a date night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We had a reservation for 6:00, but decided to arrive at 5:30 to have drinks at the bar. They were able to get us in right away, which was nice on a Saturday. The place began to fill up fast, however, and now we know why! We ordered a round of drinks, which weren't weak by any means. We also went for the relish tray, which was AMAZING! I wish they would bottle that dip. Our next round of drinks was with our entrees - I had the pull tab frites and my husband the boneless pork chop. We both cleared our plates! I'm still drooling reminiscing about that green goddess butter. I wish we could've stayed to play shuffleboard, but we were off to a movie after and didn't have time. Next time for sure! Oh, and that little phone booth is super cute and makes for a great photo op. read more

If I could give this more than five stars I would! The relish tray was a lovely way to start dinner. The dips were very good, the chips delicious, and the veggies nice and crisp. For cocktails we had a Wisco old fashioned and the Professor Gibson. Both were excellent. The Professor Gibson was perfectly balanced with beautifully layered complex flavors. For entrees the group had the smash burger, gnocchi, and the walleye sammy. Everyone really enjoyed their entree. I had the smash burger and it was delicious! The fries are absolutely perfect. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The vibe of the restaurant was very welcoming and warm. I would definitely go back again. read more

I am not from Madison. I was drawn here like a moth to the flame. A beacon drew me in. I heeded the call. My husband thought we might be entering someone's private party because there is no signage (yet). I didn't care. I'd crash a party for that welcoming bar lit with candles and warm lighting. The ambiance is comfortable with an eclectic vintage nod. We were greeted immediately upon entering. Which was the signal to my husband that we truly WERE welcome. The menus are tucked into hard bound books. This little touch makes the experience even more cozy. I ordered the Sage, Lies, and Videotape which is a fresh, citrus, and herbaceous gin drink served in a coup glass. My husband had the Disco Cowboy which has a smooth, rich, slight chocolatey flavor that makes you feel like you've just lit a chunk of palo santo and all of your bad juju is melting away. We couldn't live off liquid alone and ordered the Goodheart salad and the smashed fingerling potatoes with herby garlic aioli. Highly recommend. Extremely fresh salad with Parmesan pairs well with the salty starchy potatoes. Feeling a little like a holiday lush, I ordered the Bloody Mary martini which tastes just like a bloody Mary's (magically sans tomato juice) but hits like a martini. Go on. Walk into that cool brick building without a sign. You won't regret it (as long as it's this brick building we are talking about). read more

Went on a Saturday in July with a group of 6. It's a beautiful stone building on East Washington. It looked like there was outdoor seating as well as indoor. It's definitely upscale, but with some casual twists--like the cheese puffs and baby pickles on the complimentary charcuterie board when you enter. The menus are tucked into stacks of old books which makes for some fun conversation. With a supper club inspired menu I was very pleased to see they offer a few vegan items. I ordered a cocktail and the Turn Key Gnocchi. It's pricey but it was delicious. The gnocchi was pillowy and chewy and the sauce was lovely and well spiced. Our party was there to celebrate two birthdays and they offered complimentary dessert. They even had a vegan sorbet that was delightful. A nice spot for a date night or special occasion! read more
