Food was truly amazing. Try grandmas goulash for the West Gandy sandwich and you cannot go wrong.

Excellent food, wonderful service, comfortable seating for 23 weary bikers at lunchtime! Thank you for having bike racks, too.

Loved the vibe and kept wondering the history of the place. We came for a late lunch. I had the goulash and it was piping hot, spicy and so good. A big bowl with veggies done just right. My husband had the bacon and steak chil. He said it was very good but would have added cheese. Very geneous portions!

I get the same thing every time I go, carne asada is delicious, and Bob's bad breath burger is soooo good!

This has become a must-stop every time I am in Madison. A great atmosphere, good friendly staff and the Bob's bad breath Burger is one of my favorites of anywhere I've eaten.

The decor/atmosphere was very cool. I loved the eclectic historic artsy mix. The acoustics weren't the best, though. It seemed noisy even though it wasn't very crowded, so it made conversing a little difficult even across a small dining table. The Rueben sandwich was very good and I'm in love with the potato salad served on the side. I definitely plan on coming here again some time!

I had the walleye sandwich which was good, but my husband's tuna sandwich (that I ate half of) with garlic potatoes, and salad was amazing. Good service, but it was difficult to hear the waitress with the noise level.
