"Popped by The Old Fashioned before a concert at the Orpheum. We were pleasantly surprised not to have to wait for a table on a Saturday night. Our server was wonderful. I debated a long while whether or not to give this place a 3 or a 4 but the food really influenced my rating. My partner got the spicy burger which was incredibly dry. So dry, in fact, he only ate half of it and had no desire to bring the left overs home. I had the turkey club which was decent. The issue I had was the bread was the temperature of the items that comprise the sandwich. The bread was toasted and buttered which was good, but everything else was cold somehow. Including the bacon. The side salad was solid though. I know everyone loves The Old Fashioned and it's a Madison institution, but I don't know if I would bring out of town friends here. There's better food found elsewhere on the Square, in my humble opinion."

"One of my favorite places. Amazing food, outstanding service (3 cheers for TJ the Bartender). A fun, warm & friendly old school supper club charm. The cheese curds with the Tiger sauce are simply the best in the world...a must have. You also can't beat the Door County Cherry Salad with a piece of salmon added on. Make sure to wash it down with Schlitz draft or a Brandy Old Fashion. Heaven on earth!"

"We've been coming here at least once a year for the last 12 years. The old fashioned burger is our favorite menu item, except for the poutine, and omg is the poutine good. We are from Phoenix or we'd be here more often. Lol everything is fresh, the ground beef is so good and the bacon and fresh egg on the burger is just amazing. We also had the cherry salad and wow the dressing is soo good. Service has always been top notch. And if there's a wait, they do get busy, it's worth the wait."

"Really cool place to hold a venue upstairs... Definitely had great feedback regarding the food.. Our server had no problems setting up the room to our needs. However, was not attentive to our group.And we had to seek her out several times.. She was not very community or grateful at the end of the evening. It would have been a much better experience if we had a different server... it wasn't "horrible" because of her.... Just could have been a better experience!! It was a great building, a great space and we would come back again"

"The atmosphere here was great and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. We tried the cheese curds, those weren’t my favorite. However, the root beer on tap was incredible! For the entree I had the Mac and Cheese but I asked to add chicken to it so I had some protein too. They were happy to do so and it was more than enough for me! I will go back the next time I’m through the area!"
