Memorable and super helpful staff. That's my 87 y.o. Dad's description, which is high praise. Finding somewhere to eat on game day in Madison is challenging to say the least so we were happy to find this place. The atmosphere is traditional Wisconsin tavern but the food is a step up! Loved their take on an eggs Benedict and the Bloody Mary was excellent. when in Madison looking for brunch, stop in! (Or for a beer later in day)

Great little corner tavern on north street. Nearby Madison College and easy street parking, plus small side parking lot for guests. Well behaved dog are welcome on the back fenced in patio. I love that they locally source ingredients. Like their heritage beef. They offer daily specials and a reasonably priced drink menu. It's a small seating area, so I'm sure brunch days are packed and will have a bit of wait. Food was absolutely delicious and good portions. I also enjoyed having a side salad and kettle chips included with most meals. Looks like an up and coming area that had been previously run down. Lots of improvements and colorful artwork being added.

Stop the bus! This is the perfect wisco tavern for Sunday brunch and bloody Mary's! Had the pastrami hash with eggs over easy and would get it again. Service was great and the vibe is spectacularly unique!

The Tip Top has an amazing patio, for starters - a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner on a lovely day. Terrific food - everything on the menu is delicious! Creative drinks, great beer selection, fun staff who work their butts off to make you happy and a fantabulous Friday Fish Fry - that, ironically, you can get on other days as well! Yummmyyy!

I took out lunch on a Friday afternoon. I went for their Friday special beer battered cod fry. For side I went for loaded baked potato, which was good. Fish fry was good as well. Coleslaw wasn't as good. The place was empty on Friday afternoon. They didn't have a parking lot. But there was plenty of street parking.

Bustling area of Madison with great service and excellent food. This place has charm of an old Wisconsin tavern, love the new cozy space added inside. The brunch menu, Pastrami Hash, chef's kiss! Enjoy having the self service station for water/coffee.

First time here and its a cute small bar/restaurant. I ordered the mushroom melt with butternut squash. It was absolutely delicious. My bf ordered the burger. I had the sweet potato fries which were super good. Love that the meal comes with a side salad. The dressing was so good it was sweet, tasted like strawberries. I definitely want to come back when in town.
