Retro American comfort food, famous cheese curds & fried chicken
"As fun and nostalgic as the restaurant itself, Bud & Marilyn’s confetti cake is the queen of all confetti cakes. This impressive confection has the right balance of sweet without compromising the airy texture of the dessert, with just enough buttercream frosting." - Annemarie Dooling
"Come here for some of the best comfort food for lunch in the city. Perfectly seasoned fried chicken, succulent shrimp, crispy cheese curds, and tender fontina stuffed meatloaf are just a few of the exceptional things to devour at this cozy restaurant." - Ernest Owens
"This critically acclaimed Gayborhood mainstay has a happy hour that’s incomparable: A $10 burger and beer special, several of their popular small plates (crispy cheese curds, oyster po’ boy bun, broccoli fried rice, and more) for $8 or less, alongside $7 wine, $5 beer, and other great drink deals. The happy hour specials run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday." - Ernest Owens
"Bud & Marilyn’s is a restaurant with a simple focus: great comfort food. You’ll enjoy crispy cheese curds, fontina-stuffed meatloaf, Nashville hot chicken, short rib stroganoff, and the queen of all funfetti cakes in a retro dining room that gives off serious Mad Men vibes." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Woody’s is a Midtown Village staple, and it’s one of those places that you only go to if you’re trying to have a big night out. Since all the deals during SIPS end at 7pm, grab dinner at Bud & Marilyn’s before you go back to Woody’s to drink until last call. This retro spot is right down the street from Woody’s, and they serve all the buttery comfort food you could ever want - like crispy cheese curds and fried chicken - before you head back to the bar." - sydney mcelwee
