Someone told me if you have a july birthday you have until the 31st to get a free burger. Is this true??
We stop here for my birthday every year. The interior has been renovated and that makes it more roomy. We sat outside and our server was super efficient. We had 5 adults and 5 kids. And our server kept us all happy, plus she brought us a desert for our birthdays. We have never had a bad experience here. The food is good and served hot. Note: This place has gotten more and more popular. So make a reservation. (Especially if you have a group of 10.)
MoreI have become a recent fan of this place for taking my work team for happy hour. The establishment is always clean, the drinks and appetizers are half off during happy hour, and birthday people get to drink for free within a week of their birthday.
MoreI'm giving this place 4 stars because the food was quite good and MOST of the waitstaff seemed very nice. Unfortunately for us, we got the one waiter who seemed to hate his job. He was very short and annoyed with us for asking for more time to order. It was almost impossible to get his attention. By far the worst waiter I've had, but besides him the place was nice. If I could give a 3.5 I would, but I feel that 3 isn't fair since he seemed to be the only downside of the restaurant.Edit: My husband has celiacs and they did an amazing job accommodating that!
MoreHair in my food. It was already cold due to delivery people taking their time and not left under heat. But to bare with all that and find this. When I'm a blonde. Disqusting. Won't order from here again
MoreI've been going there for years for my birthday. It's my personal tradition. However this time was a bit of a let down. The service was fantastic and friendly. My wife and I ordered the nachos and it was a sad meal. It was for the most part nothing but a pile of plain chips with a minut amount of nacho cheese, ground beef and pico . It was honestly very disappointing. My kids enjoyed their kids meal.
MoreThe impossible burger is delicious, the staff attentive, and reasonable prices to boot
MoreThis place has the birthday charm! Great happy hour and local beer options. They even provide free beer on your birthday with a complimentary mug. Family friendly venue and many tv's for sports fans. Great place to cheer on your favorite team for March madness! And an even better place to cheer on the pack! Go pack go!
MoreI was fortunate my hotel was close to this top rated burger restaurant. Though they have a wide selection I choice the grass fed roasted garlic burger. I was NOT disappointed. Absolutely delicious and hearty. Friendly bar staff and fun atmosphere.
MoreFood and service were good, a bit dated not the fanciest place in town but fun!
Welcome them back to serving.. As always good food and service.
I celebrated my nomination yesterday in this delicious restaurant. happy to tell that it was a brilliant evening and the venue was indeed one of the reasons for the successful gathering. The crew participated in a splendid manner, the food was very good and my buddies were very joyful. We shall definitely visit again for more celebrations. thanks very much.
MoreGreat service. Fast friendly and of course great burgers
I love the menu and taste of the food. Unfortunately the last two times we've gone there for Sunday brunch, the waiter we got was slow, screwed up orders, and never made it around for refills on coffee or water. Even after requesting a refill, he came back 15 minutes later to grab my mug, which by that time was time to leave. And our food took 30 minutes to come out. We watched other tables get seated and fed before we got our food. Not fun when we have two 17 month olds that don't like to sit still for over an hour.
MoreGreat selection of beer. Great staff! Love the atmosphere! Highly recommended.
Horrible service, food was good but the service! Server did not come to check on us at all. I had to ask the staff waiting to at food window for more water after it being empty for 20 min. I understand being busy that is fine but this was just plan bad service We had a birthday celebration like we do 6 times a year and this is the last. We are done with the gritty. Food was great just not dealing with bad service anymore.
MoreGreat atmosphere and great burgers. Enough said!
Found ourselves in the area to buy a 1994 Toyota Previa off craigslist. Guy we bought it from recommended this place and it was great! The onion rings were incredible and Gabe took great care of us.
MoreIβve always loved this place, such a fun environment and always great service. Iβm particularly excited about the new menu! I loved the grass fed Farmers Market Burger. Iβm excited to try some of the vegetarian burger options in the future.
MoreGreat food, good service, nice atmosphere.
The best nitty gritty in Madison. This place has deep booths and nice tables. Food is great, any type of burger you can think of. Only way it could be better is if the seats are cushioned.
MoreWe went here for a friend's birthday and had a nice time. We all ordered burgers which were very tasty. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was much more laid-back than the downtown location. I would be happy to come back here again.
MoreService was fantastic for our hockey team. Very attentive and good was great!
Great food with great service. The prices were great and the staff was friendly!
MoreWe had a fantastic experience at this spot. We liked the amazing ambience and the meals. The waiters were super amiable. I am happy we finally managed to visit this place.
MoreAlways great service and delicious food.
Obviously, they have the birthday drink deal. My wife was able to get a birthday mug with unlimited refills of any tap (including the cider) or the vodka punch they had mixed. They had a good selection of draft beers at decent prices. The service, however, was super slow (it was not, in any way, busy). I had planned to purchase apps and more drinks but never had the opportunity.
MoreNitty gritty was excellent with there fore party for my fiance Birthday great burgers I've definitely will go again
MoreGreat food. The staff was very friendly. The prices were great. Loved it!
I haven't been here in about 4 years but the service was still great! I also really enjoyed the pretzel bun burger with a side of cheese curds. I would gladly visit here again if I'm in the area.
MoreI came for my birthday today and I will definitely be back for years to come!The server, Will, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating! The Impossible Gritty Burger was AMAZING! I was more than happy with the experience and will definitely recommend to my friends!
MoreI stopped by to get my birthday mug and they stated it was passed the time eligible to get one. I was 40 days past and did not know there was a cutting off time. ...I have been going to Nitty Gritty many years and that was the first time I was refused because of the days. I was even going to buy a Burger but I decided to leave and not get my mug. I am older and love having the mugs. I even offered to purchase one and a No was given. Thanks a lot Nitty Gritty. I told them I usually go to Sun Prairie but thought any Nitty Gritty was OK which I guess it would be. I am Sad about it. Thanks! Ginny
MoreGood neighborhood bar with good bar food. Wide selection of burgers and beers. Drink free beer on your birthday is a bonus! Always have encountered a friendly staff every time I have been there.
MoreWe had a very good cook that day. Amazing actually. Our food was prepared with precision and love.
MoreFries were great. Drinks were ok. Unique burger ideas.
This is by far my favorite burger in Madison! Most people get the nitty-gritty burger but I love their Texas Burger! Always so amazingly delicious! Highly recommend going here whether itβs your birthday or not! But they always make my birthday special! Thank you!! π π
MoreWent here for my birthday. The Rum punch was delicious! The food was great and the atmosphere was also nice. For my first time being there it was awesome. Love the free mini sundae card once a month for a year too. Wish other places gave you something like that.
MoreIf there's one thing I can say to convince you to come here, it's two words: Cheese. Curds.For real though, this place was amazing. Excellent bar food and excellent beer. Give it a shot if you're in town!
MoreGreat burgers lots of televisions on the wall beautiful you won't miss no sports at all most of all the food was good bacon cheeseburger excellent
MoreWhat can I say? The Nitty Gritty is an odd combination of family restaurant by day and binge drinking haven by night. The food at the Middleton location is always okay, and sometimes rises to the level of tasty. Their bar service is friendly and fast, while their waitstaff can come off as inexperienced. They do Power Hour with the same deals as downtown, which led me to the Halloween night I'll never remember. I have a healthy dose of nostalgia for the Nitty that keeps me coming back, but it would not be my choice place to impress friends (unless it's a birthday!)
MoreRefreashing tasty cocktails and great menu.
The drinks are reasonably priced and the staff is lovely(Especially Hollyπ)The food is exactly what you want with a good strong drink, and the music they play is just jam after jam! Definitely glad we stopped in and can't wait to make it back!
MoreAlways get great service here!
Great place good food.
Where else are you going to spend your birthday at then the #1 birthday place.πππππ the onion rings are awesome πππππ
MoreAwesome beers on draft. Great for husband's birthday. Just wish our sever would have been more interested in paying attention to table rather then gossiping with coworkers. All in all still a great place!
MoreNice place to hangout. Sports bar. Variety of menu. Vegetarian option available. Ample parking space. All burgers are homemade. Freshly cooked. Comes with fries/chips/coleslaw. Nice test and good staff.
MoreExcellent burger! Great service and cold beer
As a vegan, I love the expanded vegan menu. Vegan gritty burger was great. They have 3 different vegetarian burger patties: multigrain, black bean, or the ever popular Impossible burger. Vegan cheese is an option too. The vegan chocolate-peanut butter shake was even better. Nitty Gritty now officially makes the cut for a venue for the whole omnivorous and vegan family.
MoreFood was great! Sergio (our server) did a fabulous job taking care of us. Will be back
MoreThe supreme Nachos were π πthe meat was dry and it didn't even have the flavor of authenticity to it wasn't worth the price plus to many chips and no enough of that so called tacos meatThat burgπer taste and look like it had been warmed up in the microwave the way the cheddar π§ looked never ordering food at to the Middleton Nitty Gritty again Never!" Just disappointing πThe onion rings were tasty and the server was alright 2 πππΎββοΈ
