The Old Fashioned Review - Madison - The Infatuation

"If there’s one restaurant that celebrates the best of Wisconsin, it’s The Old Fashioned. The space is covered wall to wall in vintage photos, illuminated Schlitz and PBR antique signs, and a taxidermied lake fish or two. You should come here for a casual lunch or dinner to eat cheese in almost every form, and sip one of the 150-plus Wisconsin beers. The wait here after 5:30pm can be long, but that’s because things like fried cheese curds and walleye sandwiches are so good and cost less than $20 (along with most other things on the menu). Be prepared for the couple next to you to strike up a conversation—friendly chit-chat is the ultimate Wisconsin pastime, after all." - Sarah Probst
