Red Robin of Monona

They get-ya-in get-ya-out, but the burgers are pretty creative and tasty.

Roman Candle

I really like the pie at this joint. No wait staff at lunch is kinda weird though.

Esquire Club

Kind of an old people's club, but the food ain't bad. Typical fair. Steaks, Ribs, Pasta, Burgers, American-What-Have-You. Minus points for using Papyrus on the menu.

Casa DE Lara Fitchburg

Pretty standard fare in my opinion. Some mexican thing + rice + beans, margarita optional. I know some people who hate this place, and I know people who love it. The outdoor dining leaves a bit to be desired, as it overlooks a kind of nasty drainage ditch and there are bugs a plenty. I do enjoy the veggie fajitas.

Taco Palace

The fried chicken tacos are pretty unstoppable. $2 happy-hour blended margaritas. There is a salsa-bar, which is kinda sweet. I hear the fish tacos are great. I'm not a fish-liker so I can't vouche though.

Bunky's Cafe

Bunky's is similar to the Dardonell's on Monroe St. It's a little less classy with a bit more soul.

Anglers Tavern & Bowling

I was actually trying to add "Angler's Haven Resort" - So I'm not sure if this is actually the same place or not. The pizza at Angler's is unbelievably great. If it lacks anything in quality, it would make it up three fold with creativity. The specialty pizzas are all incredibly inventive and confident. The firehouse pizza is balls-out spicy hot and delicious. The Ceaser pizza actually has a tossed ceasar salad right on top of the pizza. I am from Madison, WI, which claims to have more restaurants per capita than any other major city, and we have nothing pizza wise that comes close to this.

Vientiane Restaurant

I had a 3-star pork something-or-other and it was damn good. Then the next day I spent the entire day in bed when I wasn't vomiting. You never can be sure, but I'm saying with 80% certainty it was food poisoning. By the evening I felt pretty much fine...

Cranberry Creek Cafe

The really nice sign outside leads you to believe the food is going to be better than it actually is. Not that it's that bad, it's just pretty standard fare. Lots of chicken. I think their niche is "cheap entree dinners". They have like 10 dinners under $9 or something.

State Street Brats

Fairly awful atmosphere, especially at night, but the brats are good and it's kind of a Madison tradition.
