What Mozelle Jaskolski doesn't like about Buck & Badger Northwoods Lodge:
Beautiful, cozy ambience, especially on a cold December night. I love the log and north decoration. The menu is limited, but still beautiful. The atmosphere became a little loud when the trivia began, but not too bad. The server was very patient, gracious, polite, friendly and remembered all the details of the order without writing anything. I'd give her 5 stars in person. Overall a very beautiful experience.

Buck and Badger, located conveniently near the Overture Center in Madison, offers a cozy North Woods cabin ambiance with light wood decor. The menu features a small assortment of appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees at reasonable prices, along with an extensive drink selection. The cheese curds were a standout appetizer, perfectly fried and served with a delicious blue-cheese dipping sauce. The boneless chicken wings received mixed reviews, with some finding them a bit pricey for the portion size. Overall, while the food didn't necessarily wow all diners, the friendliness of the staff and reasonable prices made for a pleasant dining experience. The service did receive some criticism from a few reviewers, citing long wait times and rude behavior from the waiter. Despite some negative experiences, Buck and Badger seems to have a loyal following and offers a welcoming atmosphere for those looking to enjoy drinks and casual fare in Madison.

So fun! Friendly crowd and bartenders, so accommodating! Touch tunes was a hit. Lots of space to sit and dance, no line on a Saturday night!
