All the food is incredible but the fish tacos are my favorite. The burgers are incredible! tomato soup is another favorite! The atmosphere is fun and energizing. He could never go wrong going to the Tipsy!

Fresh food and great selection for kids. Love the crunchy fries. Decor is hip with lots of interesting knick-knacks. Service was excellent.

As someone who doesn't eat beef, a good alternative burger is rare to find. This lamb burger is splendid, great quality meat and good flavors in the dish overall. Need to come back ASAP!

They have some great seasonal cocktails for around $10. Friendly vibe, definitely a touristy spot. They curate a lot of local ingredients for their menu. Service is always on point. 4/5 due to lack of accessibility.

This review is solely based on the bar area of Tipsy Cow! After grabbing dinner around the corner at The Old Fashioned, we were after a night cap in the area and stumbled upon The Tipsy Cow. The main entrance takes you into the dining area, but we entered the side entrance which places you directly in the bar area, which was perfect for us! Both areas are connected through a small hallway, but they both have their own vibe. We bellied up to the bar and ordered a few cocktails. The bartender was super friendly and made a great gin and tonic! We didn't get any food, but those giant chocolate cookies looked delicious! Overall, super chill spot for a cocktail in downtown Madison. Happy to swing back through on my next visit!

In town for a wedding and was a recommendation. 6 of us for a late dinner. Excellent service, good service and fair prices. An enjoyable experience

ALL I could hear when I walked into this Madison must-have is Tommy Boy. Like legit, Chris Farley was speaking from wherever he is saying-- "God, you're gonna remember this the rest of your life. Can't believe you've never been cow tipping before. Get ready to live." (Yes, I know tipping a cow is far different than a tipsy one... but with a little modification, this could be its motto.) Needless to say, Chris was not wrong. I could see this being my hangout if were to move to Madison. The Tipsy Cow isn't trying too hard. It's a fabulous watering hole in the shadow of the Capitol. It boasts a great patio, friendly staff, rotating tap and plethora of cocktails. We popped in for Happy Hour on a Monday. Absolutely no complaints here! Honestly, I was mad we didn't grab a bite to eat. The menu looks bomb dot com with a dozen or so appetizer options (including alligator bites and goat cheese curds)... and then burritos, tacos, salads, soups, mac n cheese options and more, The Tipsy Cow has something for everyone. The Tipsy Cow doesn't disappoint.

A must stop when visiting Madison. Excellent cheese curds and burgers. So many great options to choose from and I always struggle on what to order. But you can't go wrong with the burger and cheese curds. The burger is heavy and juicy with some good cheese curds you'll be full for sure afterwards. Service is always great no matter when you go. Staff is friendly. Even if you have a short trip you gotta eat here especially for the cheese curds. One of the best I had so far

Just a great place to have really good drink and bar food on Madison's Capitol Square, on a balmy Friday night. We needed to find a place to eat and drink for the four of us and a dog, on our visit to Madison. There are quite a few restaurants with open air dining on the Square, so I suggested a place that none of us had gone before. When we got to the Tipsy Cow around 7, it was fairly busy but there were many open tables in the sidewalk dining area, so was confident that the wait wouldn't be too long. We were quoted 30 minutes for a table of 4 outside, and ended up only waiting 15. The restaurant uses an automated waitlist so can use the link sent to your phone to see where you are in line. The tables outside are spaced far enough apart to allow dogs to comfortably sit their owners. We were brought menus and waters, and given time to peruse the two page menu. Most places in Madison have Spotted Cow Ale on tap, so we ordered two pints ($5 each which is a great price) and Loon Juice Hard Cider ($6). I haven't had any Spotted Cow for eight years, so that first big sip made me very, very happy and set the tone for the rest of the dinner. The cheese curd appetizer ($10) was a must when first eating in Wisconsin, and didn't surprise. It came with two dipping sauces and had been made with fresh curds so was the right amount of chewy and stringey, with a good light batter. It's quite a bit better than what you can get at Culver's which is what people outside of Wisconsin are used to. We also got an asparagus app ($8), which came with 7 big pieces of asparagus that have been grilled over and drizzled with some light mayo dressing and black and white sesame seeds. My wife really liked it. My wife and future SiL ordered the Friday fish fry with Walleye ($16 each), which came with French fries, cole slaw, rye bread and two types of sauce. Both came with a very big piece of expertly battered, deep fried fish. It just puts other fish and chips meals outside of Wisconsin to shame. The fries were not great (probably the only thing not good in our meal), limp and greasy. But the cole slaw was fresh and zingey. My daughter got the 1X1 cheeseburger, using Knoche's beef ($10) and 3 year old cheddar with topped grilled onions. The bun was very soft (squishy), and she said she really enjoyed it. Knoche's was a local butcher shop that closed during the pandemic, but still provides very high quality meat to consumers and businesses. I also noticed that they use Nueske's smoked bacon, which my wife and I think is the best bacon out there. I got two shareable dishes: bowl of tipsy chili ($8) - excellent...I could eat two bowls of this with some bread and call it a very satisfying meal. Memphis Tots ($8) - never had this before, but it was a very popular dish with the table. It was great as -is (with a generous amount of the memphis dry rub seasoning), but also great dipped in the chili. It was very crispy, maybe even overly deep-fried, but it was great for us. The total for the 4 of us was $96, before tip. We laughed since this meal would have cost at least $200 in California and wouldn't have been as good (don't order walleye anywhere outside of the Midwest). We got to enjoy summer eating outside in Madison. And because it was the right amount, we still had space to get the best ice cream at the nearby Memorial Union.
