The "Fountain Burger" is hands down the best burger Ive ever had in my entire life... and Ive had a lot of burgers. Just take a look at the ingredients, everything you would want on a burger. Creaminess from the 4 year aged Hooks cheddar, crunchy texture and subtle bitterness from the heaping pile of onions, a hint of tang from the pickled tomato, then the spciy notes from the char-girlled jalapenos, and lets not forget the bacon to bring it all together. I also recommend the chicken wings; buffalo style obviously!

This place is not clean and the staff doesnt care. I wonder how its still running? The owner just feeds money into it and cant be making a profit. It has two bars that rarely seem used, a lot of seating, and then random things like piano players and what I hear is a sandwich area being built. Maybe it is built already. The food might be good, but I think that depends on if there happens to be a good cook still hired there.

Very slow. While understanding to the complicated staffing and management situation... We had lost drink orders, spilled drinks, and we had to remind the staff that we wanted food. The best part was the piano music.... Mainly because we escaped the terrible fake space cowboy music that was playing inside.

Best bloody mary I have ever had hands down- and I am picky. They brine their own veggies, cinluding tomatoes and use the tomato brine in the mix. Completed with salamis, cheese, asparagus, dilly beans, and a big warm off the grill shrimp. TO DIE FOR! SO GOOD!

There are only a few places that have such a unique atmosphere, great food, and friendly staff and patrons. If you are looking for the "Cheers" of Madison, with a decidedly independent and accepting ethos, it is The Fountain.

Food was great. We had burgers, fries, rueben, grilled cheese and they were all very good. The service was atrocious and ruined the visit for us.

The fish fry was good, but the batter was really mushy after the fish sat for like 3 minutes. The cheesy potatoes were awesome, though.

The Rueben was overcooked and tough, and the burger was undercooked and practically raw. Overpriced bar food.

You have to come for Hammond Organ Night on Wednesdays at 8 if you love jazz or want to learn to.

Bad service and long, long wait for a simple sandwich on a slow night.
