Fun and friendly staff. Yummy appetizers, the curds are perfect. Our burgers and salads were also very good. Would come again for sure.

Service was wonderful and friendly. Burgers and birthdays appear to be the specials here. A fun atmosphere. We had the pretzel burger, farmer's burger. Although I asked for medium rare, got medium well on my farmer's burger..oh wells

I was there on a weekday for lunch. The place was not crowded. One special mention was about the waiter. He was very polite and friendly. I went for a couple of burgers. The big grit was my favorite burger. It had 2 patties. The burger was huge. The burger was flavorful as well. For side I went for onion rings. Onion rings were not crispy as I expected. My other burger was Raspberry chipotle burger. It was good, but I think other burgers in the menu might have been better. Waffle fries were good as well. My favorite item here was chocolate peanut butter shake. It came in large quantity. The shake was cold and thick, exactly how I wanted it. I finished the shake even before starting the burger. Seems one can add fried onions on top of burgers for free. I added it on top of both of my burgers, and it improved the taste.

I had never been to the Middleton location before but was actually super surprised at how great it is. We usually go to the one downtown but were on the west side and needed late night food. Our waitress was super awesome and helpful! We mainly came for drinks and apps. I really loved the fall cocktails, the seasonal old fashioned was perfect for a fall night. The cheese curds were good, their waffle fries are my favorite though. I love that there were two stories to the dining room. It made for a really great vibe. They also had the space decorated for Halloween, which was super cute. I would definitely come back to celebrate a birthday here or for a dinner, it's a lot more calm than the downtown location if that's what you're looking for.

The official birthday celebration location in Madison. We came here for a quick dinner with the kids. The have a great menu that offers vegan items such as the impossible burger with vegan gritty sauce! So tasty! There is a gluten-free menu that I did not get to check. I don't know if they offer gluten-free buns or it's just bunless if it's gluten-free, as it's not stated on the normal menu. They had some fall inspired drinks. The cozy pear didn't taste like pear, it was very vanilla forward. My husband had the apple version and it was fantastic. Great place for groups and kids. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly.

Another fun time at Nitty, and of course it was on my wife's birthday! Despite being very busy, the server was very nice, even sang 'happy birthday' with us. This is a great place for burgers. The Gritty Burger is a good tasting burger, even though it may be considered the 'basic burger' at Nitty. A favorite is the Sunrise Burger. The patties are cooked to order and always tender and juicy. The shoestring onion rings add wonderful crunch to the burger. The egg on top adds a creaminess to it as well. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. It was loaded with elbow pasta and cheesy goodness. It's also heavy with buffalo wing sauce. It was honestly a bit too much for me. The birthday experience ended with a small cup of sundae. After all we had to eat, it was the perfect size. Overall, Nitty Gritty remains one of our favorite restaurants in the Madison area, especially for burgers. It has much of the same vibe and atmosphere as the one in downtown Madison.

This was such a fun place! I got the Farmer's Market burger. And it was delicious!!! You can never go wrong with a Stella's Bakery hot and spicy roll! I had a friend get the turkey bacon avocado sandwich and another friend built her own burger! Both really liked their meals! Service was fast and they were all friendly. It is definitely the place to be for a birthday! They play a birthday song over the speakers in the restaurant and announce birthdays multiple times! Fun place and would definitely recommend!
