Hey guys, taking my daughter on a college visit to Madison tomorrow and looking for recommendations on good restaurants near the UW campus.

Thank you in advance!

If you like Greek gyros, hit Parthenon down on State St. Just off campus a couple blocks.

2x Great Dane. I haven’t been there in a decade or more. Glad to know it’s still good. Honestly I might just be remembering the Pilsner vs the food

It's my guess that nobody here wants to hear the joke about The Gopher Hole ....

My 2 next door hot girls both worked at Dotty's. I hope that's still around. Their burgers were epic. It was on Regent street not far from the stadium. Mickie's Dairy Bar for Breakfast too, I lived right above the old barber shop next door for a couple years. Greenbush Bakery is fantastic but they sell out and close early.

I asked my nephew who lives close by. He knows where to get the best beer. He really, really likes his beer. He mentioned Buckinghams. Also Big Ten pub.

Sconniebar also for good beers and cheap grub. That's where we all meet up for the pregame festivities.

I did my undergrad there and lived in Madison 3 additional years. I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have!

Any restaurant on the square around the capital is going to be good. My two favorites are the old fashioned and Graze. Graze is farm to table and right across from the capitol. The old fashioned has some great cheese curds and has never let me down.

If you are looking for a more unique, college vibe, State Street Brats is a staple.

Great school with lots of opportunity. I hope she chooses wisely.

On Wisconsin!!

My other nephew, who does not judge eateries by the beer they serve, said try, The Nitty Gritty.
