Not an extensive menu for breakfast but a little something for everyone. This breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've had around Madison. The muffin was high quality.

Sports bar with great food! Don't miss this one!…read more This gem is unassuming and tucked back off the main streets cottage grove. It has a large indoor and outdoor recreational area attached, but the food is what stands out. This was our first time for breakfast. The Bloody Mary was delicious, tasted like a homemade mix, with the perfect portion of garnishes. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was build your own, with potato pancakes. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The potato pancakes were some of that best I've had, and such a great idea for breakfast. My husband had the biscuits and gravy with seasoned diced potatoes. The portion was not overwhelming and the biscuits were fresh with a very flavorful gravy - some of the best around. Service was efficient and attentive. Excited to come back again!

Burger had so much smoky molasses flavored bacon jam on it that it was overwhelming. Bun was a bit dry. Caesar chicken salad was just meh. The black bean soup was good, but again, overly salty. Chicken tenders were a bit dry and overcooked. The fries were a bit soft and not very hot. And salty. The service was great so that's why the rating is what it is.

We had heard good things about the fish fry at this classic Wisconsin dive bar on the near north…read moreside of Madison. We also heard it is jammed on Friday nights for the fish fry so we arrived super early to grab a table in the bar area. The place was hopping by 4:30 and people were waiting for a seat! You order your food at the bar. On Friday the menu is pretty much fish fry and not much else - no problem since that is why we were there. We started with some old fashions - always my test of a Wisconsin bar - it was OK. I had the perch fish fry and my wife the cod. The perch was excellent. I really liked their batter it almost tasted like the Colonel's. The cod was also good and a big serving. I also liked their coleslaw which was very flavorful. The fries were very good. They did screw up my order - I asked for fries and got a baked potato but we did a quick switch and resolved that issue. I know food inflation is high these days but we were surprised at the price of these fish fries! The drinks were reasonable. It's not a big place so come early on Fridays.

Stopped in with my daughter on a Friday night to grab their much ballyhooed fish fry. We popped in…read morearound 6:45 and the place was packed to the gills (pun intended!). We bellied up to the bar to grab a drink and post up to wait for an open table or a few barstools to free up. Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long for a spot at the bar to empty out. The interior is nothing to write home about-cozy, a little ramshackle but the food they churn out is absolutely amazing. They were advertising "ohio sized" lake perch from Lake Erie so I had to go with that. Nowadays, most places advertise perch but hide the fact they aren't true hard to get lake variety. These perch were absolutely massive and the sweetness under their most amazing breading was addicting. I love how they batter their fish-it's unique and has almost fried chicken like qualities. My daughter went with the cod which was equally delicious. The accompanying tartar sauce was clearly homemade and spiked nicely with clove. Fries and the bread/butter were ok but not really necessary with the generous amount of fish. Just a classic place to have a classic fish fry. Highly highly recommended!

This use to be a great place for quality cheap food. Their burgers were one pound and there was a…read moreton of bacon. Grant it, with such cheap prices maybe that's why they had to sell the place. I went in last week for the first time since they've had new ownership not really sure what to expect. The bartender tried telling me that the portion size of the food is not as large but it's much better food than it used to be. I'm not exactly sure how you can go from a 1 pound burger to a 1/3 pound burger, and it'd be better?!?!. The burger wasn't anything special. Lacked flavor and probably was the same price as before, which you would have paid for the 1 pound burger. I understand that a 1 pound burger with a lot of bacon isn't cheap to make, but don't tell me that your food is better when it's clearly not, this is Wisconsin, if you're not serving at least a 1/2 pound burger, you're losing. I will try again another day but disappointed so far.

The service was fantastic and the chicken was the best fried chicken we have had, We got it was served with creamy mashed potatoes. I definitely recommend you try their pub chicken. The Paoli Pub is a little gem located in quaint Paoli. We just missed the Wisconsin Badger Basketball team that were there after floating the Sugar River and heard they had the same chicken. Go Badgers!

Way to catch two birds with one stone. She was great. I'd never met her before, it was nice to put a face with all the talk and name. I had the Ruben, onion rings and the coleslaw. The coleslaw tasted really good. A taste I'd never had before I really liked it. There was obviously way too much food with the sandwich and onion rings. Golden brown and crunchy on the outside and tender so I could bite through it on the inside. The Ruben was thick with tender corned beef. I like mine sweeter but it was tender had the thousand island dressing and was toasted just right.

The bar building was closed for indoor gatherings but huge out building bar was open and the huge lawn had picnic tables with umbrellas spaced nicely so you could enjoy tavern. We probably got one of the last open tables because as I looked around after being there for the first beer they were all full. The space is very dog friendly because our party had a dog and a few other tables also and nobody said anything. The beer menu was decent with bottles and cans of various beers from domestic to craft. The food menu was small and included burgers to nachos and an amazing looking ice cream cookie sandwich. Parking can be tough and it's mostly street but I got the last open spot. Over this is a great tavern outdoor space that is way more than just a patio so see my pictures.
