Reviews for Weary Traveler Freehouse in Madison, WI
Not good. Not good at all. Ordered the ginger minion- server told me it was sweet, definitely was not. Ordered grilled cheese... for child and cheese wasnt even melted- sent back and one side was only grilled. Food was sent out at different times so 3people ate while the other 4 sat watching them- not for a few minutes but 10. Small portions. Ordered burger well done- came outburnt. Kid size cheeseburger was the same size as regular. Inappropriate graffiti in the womens restroom- definitely not childfriendly. "Chips" with meal extremely greasy- odd for a health conscious restaurant. Read more
As a solo traveler that happened to be staying in the area, this place exceeded expectations. The beer selection is good with a... variety of local brews on draft. Food wise, this place was great. From personal experience, shorter menus tend to offer betterquality - so it was reassuring to see a more concise menu. The Reuben was probably the best I've had in years - if not ever. Thebread was flavorful, the sauerkraut was tangy and delicious and it combined well with the pastrami. No need to worry aboutleaving hungry as portions are abundant in. The bartender/owner was really attentive and gave excellent recommendations.Finally, the decor keeps you entertained with all the pictures, records and books around. Read more
Biked here via Jenifer St today... it's one of those perfect days. Have a beer on the patio waiting for the best burger in... Madison (West of the Andes, tuna). I don't know why it's been so long. Don't let yourself go 2 years between visits, I'm amonster. Read more
Currently they have limited menu but really good options even if the list is small! The burger and west Andes sandwich are good... BUT the Gaelic potatoes or homemade crispy thin ?chips? are amazing! Love the charm and weirdness! Always a nice spot for lunchor dinner! Read more
This place is a proper stop for anyone looking for a cold brew and a warm bite to eat. For me: a Commuter Kolsh and a Grilled... Walleye Sandwich was a fitting and filling dinner. I'd recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a meal at a bar that that hasreal character flowing through it. Even the house garlic potato chips had a good flavor and character to them. Read more
Fantastic creative food that is solid and worth a visit. Great beverages both with and w/o alcohol. Ruben sandwich with the... pastrami was great. Loved the side potato salad almost as much. Homemade bread was a good touch. Mike was fantastic. Read more
Very nice experience. Host was very prompt and clear. We were seated right away. The place was very busy which was... nice.

I love weary traveler! Great food, drinks, and the atmosphere is intimate and unique. Very eccentric, unique spot. I love the... low, intimate light too. Great for a Friday or Saturday night date spot or night out with friends. Service is always fast too. Read more
