One of my top 10 memories of Madison - when I was 18, I came home for winter break from my freshman year of college. I met up with some of my friends and we went to RLN out of boredom. (We went to high school only a couple blocks away so we were well aware it existed and was open 24/7). We were shocked to find our Vice...

Ah, Red Letter. I heard they got rid of their jerk off booth. Which maybe helps their case of being less skeevy. I'm not really against jerk off booths, but I have heard some crazy stories about this particular one. It didn't seem well monitored. I really hate the selection here and the prices are higher than other's. ...

First off- as an 11-year Madison resident, I ate at Cracker Barrel for the very first time (here) last weekend. We met friends from out of town, and overall it was pretty good. The staff had no problem pulling together two tables for the 7 of us, and service was both prompt and correct. CB serves breakfast all day, ...

After waiting 45 minutes for a cab, our taxi (#69) left without us because we took over one minute to leave the restaurant. I learned my lesson, and will never take anyone other than Green Cab again. Union Taxi is a joke of a company, and I strongly discourage you from booking through them.

Hardee's in Madison is kind of a tradition for my family whenever we drive through town. We do not have a Hardee's where we live so it is kind of a treat for us. Simply put, the food is better than Mc Donalds and the deals are comparable. The service is not quite as quick but your food is fresher when you get it.

By my calculations, it's cheaper to move long distances using an Enterprise van vs a Uhaul van. The people at this Enterprise were incredibly helpful and friendly. My van had 200 miles on it and still smelled of new vehicle. Moving still sucks but at least my moving van did not.

This time around wasn't so great. The interior of my car was wiped with dirty rags, and my car smelled like dirty rags until I got home and was able to wipe down the interior myself. They also didn't do quite so well on drying the car off - although I should have probably said something to the guys about doing a better...

I paid $17.50 for an inside-outside cleaning and was given a dirty car. After agreeing that the car was dirty, the manager refused to have them vacuum it again.

I've given Mermaid quite a few chances. I have never been pleased with the work.\n\nThe outside of the car is always dripping; the interior glass/dash was smeared and looked worse than when I went in. I make the extra drive down to Octopus.

The guy that asks what kind of wash we want is always so down to earth and has this kindly, gangsta vibe about him. Don't ask me what that is really but he's got it.

I've been to this location a couple of times. I had a free coupon for them from a place that I got my oil changed at. Let me tell you, if I didn't get that for free, I would have been asking for my money back. I don't get my car cleaned (inside) on a regular basis. I have a black lab, who sheds like crazy.

The epitome of a crap chain. Why did I get talked into going here? Because I am a tool. Crowded, loud, mediocre food, slow service, and on this particular occasion a strange man two tables down and across the aisle staring at me and not his dining companion, during the entire meal. I should have just yelled, \"watc...

It's an Applebee's...what do you expect? Every Applebee's I've ever been to has sticky tables...must be something in how they are made or cleaned. The shot glass desserts aren't bad, but if you go here, you know what you are getting in to.

My folks love this place and I can't imagine why. I had the chicken wrap and it could not hold a candle to the wraps at the Great Dane.\nThe fries are so overly seasoned they are almost impossible to eat without a huge glass of water. Don't go there.

The Bridges has become my default golf course for meeting up with friends and getting in 18. It is a city-owned course on the northeast side of Madison, south of the airport. Most of the course is situated amidst low-lying wetlands, while on the back nine a couple of holes rise up on a ridge along Anderson Avenue. I...

This is a serviceable course in the middle of Madison.

Not sure what happened to the beef at Wendy's, BUT I have been to this location and the fish hatchery location and the newer thicker beef patties have a strange old meat flavor. Not sure when or if I will go back. This used to be a favorite. Very disappointed. I wish they would go back to the old style of burgers.

A few more family members have stayed here now, and the main thing that brought this hotel down a star in my opinion is just how old/run-down it is. It's still an excellent place to stay; the rooms are just definitely starting to show their age.

Darlene is awesome. I had to have my bridesmaid dress taken in in the bust and had to have it done in under a week. Darlene did an awesome job on the alteration and had it done in six days. I paid $45, which seems totally reasonable to me. I'll definitely go back to Darlene for my other alterations and repairs.
