If you want a very tasty, juicy bar burger, the Caribou Tavern is the place to go! The bartender served us the cheeseburgers with a side of french fries and everything was cooked to perfection, even the bun was toasted nicely, however, the burgers could’ve been made a little larger, they were a little too small. The bartender Winslow is an awesome bartender and very friendly. He did well working the bar solo and on a busy night! The Caribou Tavern overall has great food and drinks and is a pretty cool place to hang out but not a lot of room. It’s like a long hallway, but we will still return!!!!!

Good bar food. We went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The service was fast and the burgers tasty. Not our first time here as we've eaten here in the past. Definitely a place we return to with a low key atmosphere. Also, you can sit outside on the picnic tables or dine at the bar. Small place for small crowds but does get busy!

honestly. it's a staple. the crowd and staff are some of the kindest people in Madison. small in size yet large in heart. a phenomenal spot worthy of multiple visits

Nice little bar to play dart's and go wash next door lol good service

Great little place. The bartender did an amazing job serving the entire place and cooking for everyone. Food was good and will be back for another round or two soon.

Typical Wisconsin tavern. Cheap beer, food made behind the bar, small, cozy, and sociable patrons/bartenders. Definitely would return!

Friendly bartender and delicious burgers! Great neighborhood tavern.

The boooooooo. Love the atmosphere and the people watching.

What an adorable little rustic place for a meal! They've been here for quite a long time to, and look exactly how they did years ago. Food is good, service is great, drinks are exquisite. (Highly recommend their bloody mary. Not spicy, and not salty!)
