text: I have been to The Old Fashioned times now So I feel comfortable giving a reviewnnThe Old Fashioned is just not that greatnnI grew up in small town Wisconsin and have a firm grasp on Wisconsin supper clubs I have eaten at Baumgartners dozens of times nnAnd I just do not think The Old Fashioned is worth my time Every visit I have left feeling uninspired and not really wanting to go back But I havennThe latest meal was brunch I had the walleye eggs They got the eggs right heh but the walleye beer batter had virtually no beer taste I grew up in a family that cooked my dads fresh caught walleye and perch with beer batter and moms tasted of beer duh Also the rosemary potatoes were lacking in rosemary you see a trend The GF ordered a medium rare hamburger which was well done and tasted significantly of garlic They shoulda called it a bad breath burger maybennAnd the waiter was not all that great Forgetting our juice and not being all too concerned with a special request the GF madennThis place is not terrible but it certainly is not all that great I am officially giving up on The Old Fashioned starting today I gave it a shot which I always do but it just did not work outnnIf you really want to experience down home supper club food there are other places in Madison where they are not acting the part Plus if you have a car drive down to Monroe and get a liverwurst and onion sandwich or a Limburger if you are more adventurous Either way it is the real thing and not a marketing gimmicknnIm not totally down on The Old Fashioned It is what it is and makes a lot of people happy Just that if you are looking for something special this are not the placennOh one last thing If you like your food with more butter or cheese than expectedacceptednecessary then maybe this is the place for you They are not shy with these ingredients
