Nitty Gritty-Madison - American restaurant in Madison - 223 N Frances St, USA

We went here in November for a pre Badgers game dinner, and I was impressed with how good their bar food was! There was a 45 minute wait initially to be seated, but the staffing so efficient it was much quicker than that. I ordered the Raspberry Chipotle burger which sounds odd and it was definitely out of my comfort zone but it was so good, I will keep ordering that every time I go! I also really liked their cheese curds. I was also happy that my wife had gluten free options for customers with celiac disease, and the staff made sure to check with the kitchen staff to make sure her order was safe. I don't remember what she ordered, but she was happy with her food!

Was in Madison to see a Badgers Basketball game. This place is great! It’s a must stop in Madison. On a game day the atmosphere is amazing! Burgers were good. Fried cheese curds as expected. What a cool place. Be ready to wait a bit for a table, but grab a beer and hang with the Badger fans!

Great food! It's a funky kinda bar thing, bonus points on coming on your actual birthday. Focus on milkshakes and sandwiches. The food was amazing! We tried Reuben sandwich and Farmer's Market Burger in gluten free version. That shoulder bacon... and the onion jam...! It's to die for, it was absolutely delicious. Happy we chose to go with coleslaw because we probably wouldn't move after fries and all that incredible food. They also have extensive gluten free menu, including gluten free buns.

I absolutely love this restaurant alots! The foods were yummy and waitresses were outstanding. They have an awesome picture to look at on the wall. This place only 2 minutes walk from Kohls Center. I amaze they offer variety birthday treats and other stuff. It is MUST COME to celebrate your Birthday!!!! Atmosphere is cool with tv and good music. I didn’t park at all. Just walk to this place. There is parking garage right across.

Shocked - in a good way! Ordered via Grubhub. The presentation of the food was top notch. Burgers are HUGE. Everyone in my group was pleasantly surprised. 5 stars for sure!

Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night, not realizing there was a hockey game starting soon. The place was PACKED. Still, the bartenders were hustling their butts off and somehow we didn't have to wait for a drink. The place cleared out as people left for the game. We ended up having a great meal, with great service, surrounded by great atmosphere.

The Nitty Gritty in Madison is definitely a college bar, but even as a working professional I had a great time there. The atmosphere was friendly and lively, and the drinks were great. I didn't try any of the food, but I saw other people eating and it looked delicious. I would definitely recommend the Nitty Gritty to anyone looking for a fun and casual place to have a drink in Madison. It's a great place to meet new people and people-watch. Just be prepared for a crowd, especially on weekends. Here are some specific things I loved about the Nitty Gritty: The friendly atmosphere. The great drinks. The lively vibe. Overall, I had a great time at the Nitty Gritty. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and casual place to have a drink in Madison.

It is a good restaurant for having burgers, drinks, and parties😀 I had their seasonal cocktail, first time to have a warm cocktail, nice!
