Top 5 Specialty Food in Dane County

1358 Williamson St, Madison, WI 53703, United States

“Romantic & life shattering. It was like taking a step back in time. Adorable cottage backdrop admist a wide range of delectable breakfast selections. I had a London Fog Tea with a vegetarian grilled cheese special that came with chips & a salad, complimentary of the chefs. Yes, the food hit the spot & the atmosphere was delightfully charming, but as I was taking in all senses, I was suddenly hit by a 6th. It's not the first time my psychic senses have been activated, but it was my first time having this experience betwixt the throes of a meal. The taste of the food, the original hardwood floors, the cheery kitchen staff - it all triggered a vast array of past life memories to flood my mind. I shook so wildly I unintentionally tossed my drink over the side of the loft in which I was sitting. Patrons who witnessed this moment claimed I was running through multiple languages in a span of seconds as I cried out in pain remembering the stories of lives I'd left behind. Flashes of heartbreaking visions blinded my mind. Charise, the time I was a young girl who passed in the arms of my lover after he had unintentionally shot me in a saloon in the wild west. Garder, the life I lived as a fearless womanizing Sailor in the harbors of old England. "Chet-pa", one of my most tragic lives as an ancient oracle who was endlessly mocked for his nose size in a time before humans were ever concerned with what year it was. All of this, rushing through my veins & interrupting my nervous system on every level. I screamed with the pain of a mother losing 1,000 children. I laughed with the heart of a clown entertaining a million person crowd. I spewed bodily fluids with the power of two colliding locomotives with an endless turbo drive powered by the space time continuum itself. A full body orgasm; the ultimate heartbreak. How many lives? I could never estimate, but I felt & knew it all here...at Lazy Jane's Cafe. 5 STARS.”

“Best wood-fired pizza in Madison! I love getting a quick bite here, and the pizza reheats very well if you can’t eat a whole one. You order at the counter and grab a booth to wait. Lots of tasty options on the menu and daily specials as well. Great to visit as a large group or just by yourself. Get the cremini if you’re a mushroom lover like me!”

“If you are looking for a great meal check out Rare steakhouse. Especially for the happy hour and half price bar menu. The steak sliders, sweet chili shrimp, and oysters are absolutely mouth watering. Will be back next time I am in Mad-Town.”

“The handmade noodles, especially the cat ears, are really a delicacy. This might be my favorite Asian noodle based meal ever. Incredible flavor and care. The vegetables are fresh, crunchy, amazing. And the protein , chicken, beef and shrimp is delicious.”

“Updated review: this place is still amazing. We make a day out of coming here, and buy extras to bring home. This is literally the best bakery I've been to in multiple states. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. As a Celiac, finding a delicious, dedicated gluten free bakery is life changing. I had my first crossiant in 4 years and it was everything I had hoped for. My daughter has a scone she also really enjoyed. The service is also really amazing. Everyone was so kind. They were genuinely happy to talk to us. When I mentioned we were going to the zoo, they gave us directions which helped me too. I live in Waukesha where we lack in gluten free bakery options, and I very well may come back on my next day off of work for more.”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, not just in Madison. It’s very cozy, staff is very nice, and the food is incredible. Have been there twice now, and the varying specials have been delicious both times (as well as the items we’ve had from the normal menu). The food is much more interesting than typical Italian fare and every bite was superb, and for a very reasonable price. With glasses of wine, an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert, the bill was only $100. Can’t recommend more highly!”

“I haven't eaten in at this location before. But I did a pickup order today while at work. The front desk staff were very friendly and grab my order in mere seconds. I had the Old Glory cheese curds which definitely are top 10 of cheese curds. The beer cheese and potato soup had way too many potatoes in it for my opinion but was still extremely tasty. Had the chicken chipotle quesadillas. Excellent flavor. They held up really well being a pickup order and walking 5 minutes. The rice and beans were spot on. Great meal overall and not the usual items from the area!”

“They have delicious kringle that tastes like a filled donut all wrapped in to one amazing pastry! They also have a variety of cakes and cookies with beautiful and fun designs. Right down the road from the hospital to brighten someone’s day! All with friendly and fast service!”

“Blown away by the quality of the ramen here. It's so delicious and probably the best I've ever had. The homemade egg noodles were super tasty, and the broth was complex and yummy. Soul healing kind of ramen. We will definitely be coming back here regularly and bringing friends from out of town here when they visit. Hell Sauce was awesome and added a great flavor and spice to the dish. Hell Sauce comes in 1-5 levels. We tried 3 this time which was still pretty spicy but nothing crazy. We are going to keep trying the higher levels! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Good food. A better version of Olive Garden. Great salads and pasta!”

540 N Midvale Blvd, Madison, WI 53705, United States

“This place is an all time favorite!! Awesome addition to Hilldale Mall. The food here is simple and delicious. Love the Bao buns, soups, dumplings, noodles, and EVERYTHING!! You can order anything of the menu and you will love it. Nowadays, they don’t offer regular plates and serve ware so it’s a little difficult to eat on plastic plates and containers. Hope they bring those back soon. Also, no restrooms available anymore.”

“A lovely European bakery. Huge selection of interesting treats. Limited seating inside so think more traditional bakery than the modern cafe model. Everything I had was great and an even better sign was the constant stream of a huge diversity of customers.”

“Had a nice meal. Not a lot of traffic for a Saturday night. We were one of four couples. I had the ribeye steak and my wife had the salmon. We're finished it off with the flourless chocolate cake.”
