text: I have been to Dexters several times before for drinks and really liked the place and a few months ago we went for the Friday fish fry and the food was delicious some of the best fish fry we have had in Madison However when we went back a month or so later we had a horrible experience We had to wait nearly minutes for our food and then when we got it it was terrible My boyfriend had the garlic chili fries and they arrived not only COLD but DOUSED in disgusting grease they were inedible We mentioned it to the waitress and she offered to bring a new order but it turned out the new order was just as terrible as the first one I had the roast beef sandwich and it was horrible very dry and bland To her credit the waitress did give us free cupcakes to take home to make up for the horrible food although it turned out the cupcakes were also inedible and terrible nnWe hoped this was just an unusually busy night and not the norm and because the fish fry is so good we went back again tonight hoping for a better experience We were wrong We went around and waited min or so for a table Once we were seated we placed our order right away with the waiter since we already knew what we wanted An hour later we were still waiting for our food All we ordered was the fish and waffle fries so nothing complicated and on such a busy night you would think they would be making sure to keep batches of fish and fries going steadily into the fryer When we finally got our food it was the tasty fish we would remembered from before but by that time we were so tired and crabby from having to wait for so long it was not quite so enjoyable After our meal we had to wait quite a long time for the waiter to bring the check and then he did not come back to pick it up for a good minutes We would still go back to Dexters just for drinks but I do not think we will be going there to eat the food anymore Two terrible experiences with inexcusably long waits is enough to keep us from going back for dinner It is too bad because the fish is good but not good enough to justify the SLOW servicennEdit Turns out the fish was not so good ended up being up all night with food poisoning Yup definitely will NOT be going back there for dinner
