We eat there about once a month. Service is usually good, but we have had poor service, it depends upon the server. We usually like our food. We recently went there for my daughter’s birthday on March 11, 2020. Since I am a hand washer, when we walked in, I immediately went to the Men’s room to wash my hands. When I walked in, someone just finished using the urinal and was walking towards the door to leave the restroom, he noticed me and rerouted to wash his hands. I noticed that he was wearing a Coliseum Bar shirt, he was an employee. After I washed my hands, I walked to our table and noticed

My wife and I tried this place for the first time at noon on a Wednesday. The chicken dumpling soup was excellent ($3.49 for a cup, $5.49 fora bowl). We also had the hamburger sliders for about $8.50 (chicken is also available) and for my side I had the waffle fries. Other side dishes choices are cottage cheese, cole slaw, French fries, and roasted vegetables-- one side is included with the sandwiches.
The sliders were thick and juicy, and cooked so that the centers had just the slightest hint of pink color. They are served with grilled onion and cheddar cheese on them. The waffle fries were thick

I found this really awesome place today for lunch. For a lunch, this place wasn’t busy at all, and I can see how it would be quite the place for a sports game. I ordered the self named Coliseum burger, but they do have some other interesting concoctions. Namely the World Dairy Burger🤔 Two bites into my burger, and I can tell this is in my top 3 burgers! The flavor of the burger was out of this world. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned awesome, and had a slight buttery taste to it. Absolutely delicious! If you’re in Madison, highly recommend this joint for an awesome burger!

Service is hit or miss...never amazing, never extraordinary. Atmosphere is what youd expect from a sports bar. TONS of TVs with every game you can think of. The food in the other hand is without question some of the best bar fare I've ever had. Generous portions for a decent price too. If you're in the area or staying at a hotel near by, it's worth the trip.

Food was bland. Had the gyro and tots and was disappointed. If you're going for beer it's the place but eat first.

Came here for brat fest. Great bartender who was fast to serve and had a nice chat with him about the upcoming days and how long he's been in business. His friendliness will have me coming back at some point when I make it that way again. The drinks were good but didn't have a chance to try the food.

This used to be my favorite burger place. They always seem to be short staffed now and the waitress we had ignored us and messed up our order. We were there for over 45 minutes by the time we got our food and about 25 minutes to get 3 pops. She didn't seem to care or listen at all. We ordered 3 meals and an appetizer and 1 meal to go for someone at home. All of our stuff was packaged to go. The cook delivered it to our table and he would be the only reason I would have given more stars but our waitress was horrible. She deserves negative stars. She never even checked on us. And even when she brought

Great sports bar with multiple TVs to catch various sports. Decent selection of beers and kudos to cook for some really tasty sandwiches (french dip and philly cheese steak). Bartender super busy with bar and tables and got folks taken care of. Will be back to check out patio

First of all this place is a bar and grill with an emphasis on Grill! Many beers to choose from but the food is worth the stop. Atmosphere is chill for a sports bar at lunch but the evenings can get live with outside volleyball tournaments. Check this place out if your in the area. Location is easy to get to from the Beltline as well.

Attended a reunion, 80+ attendees in the upstairs banquet room. Staff downstairs and upstairs we're very friendly and courteous. Our meal was a buffet, all the food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The room was very comfortable on nasty cold day. Room was bright, clean and more than adequate for our purposes.
